    Getting harassed by property managers and police while detailing

    Just playing devils advocate here, but I wouldn't be too happy about this happening on the street in front of my house...although it doesn't appear to be infront of a house. So, say you live in one of the homes just on the other side of the tree line there and you purchased that home because...

    'Must Haves' for Wheel/Tire/Wheel Well detailing

    I would recommend wheels woolie assortment and 3 Speedmaster brushes and bend one brush at 90 degrees and leave it bent...this way you won't snap the metal from being constantly bent back and forth.

    Ford dealer scuffed all four of my factory matte black wheels

    Whenver I HAD to take my car for service, my wheels came off at home, and factory wheels went back on.

    How to clean bird droppings ?

    I always carry microfiber towels. Even a cotton terry towel will work, soak the towel and let it sit on the dropping until soft, then wipe away. Usually anywhere you go, has a source of water. Of wet a towel really well and put it inside a gallon ziplock bag.

    how to remove bug marks

    Bug Sponge, but make sure to set it in warm water first, then clay if needed. I work in the Parts dept of a Mercedes/Volvo store, I used to work at a BMW center...Bug Melt is ok, but not very good at fully removing the bogs and has been known to damage any waxes on said vehicle.

    Brushes

    As far as the speedmaster wheel brush, get two and bend one, keep it bent. You can use the bent one to reach around the spokes and the straight one for regular barrel cleaning

I have Hi-Temp Terminator paint sealant and always keep a solid coat of Collinite 845.476 or 915 on top...Once I wash and rinse, I use a 220mph leaf blower and 95% of water is gone, and then lightly blot dry with a waffle...

    Replacing Rupes power cord

    If the buffer has a build quality issue, I would contact Rupes and see if they would do anything for you. If it's something you did then it's on you.

    Wheel Well and Wheel Barrel Detailing for customers

    I HATE carpeted well liners. I understand the premis behind them, they're more quiet andhave a slight insulating nature to them over straight plastic, but they are RIDICULOUS to clean!
