    Does anyone use floor mat hangers? Is there a cheaper DIY method?

    That's what we use. I've been keeping my eyes open for something better for 5 years now. Going rate is about $10 plus shipping.

    Guess everyone makes mistakes?

    I/we resolved them. Some are still regulars and some are not. Our policy is always to disclose and accept the lumps.

    Is it smart for me to spend 1800 on a 3 weekend course on detailing?

    I have the same question for myself,. I would love to go to Competition Ready with Mike. I do not have an answer, but I have a thought. Sometimes we just have to make a decision and then live our lives in a way that ensures that the decision was a good one. Also, you may be able to spend a few...

    Guess everyone makes mistakes?

    I have polished through the clear with the Rupes 3" removing a dog claw scratch from a new van. I was removing the scratch for free. I have stained glass with water spot remover by forgetting to wipe a spot off. I have discolored leather with 91% IPA. I have stained trim with wheel cleaner. I...

    Talk me out of it

    Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. If he is highly skilled, if the vehicle is in rough shape, if you are very particular, and if you want a ceramic coating, then that amount of money may be justified. Also he/you may be paying for an insurance policy as well. I love, have, and recommend...

    Clay bar abrasiveness

    Yes to both, I believe. Clays have abrasives in them and the contaminants we pick up mar/scratch also.

    Meg's D181 Leather Cleaner (no conditioner)....any experiences?

    In multiple side by side comparisons, the 181 cleaned leather substantially better. Enough of a difference that I have been willing to pay the big difference for over 2 years now. On lightly soiled leather, the 101 will do fine, but on the heavily soiled seats, the 181 saves time. We use about a...

    Asking for the sale

    Education and practice. Learn and decide what you want to say. Practice what you want to say. Then make yourself say it, no matter how uncomfortable it makes you feel. You will close deals, and the fear will go away. To paraphrase legendary sales trainer Zig Zigler, "No matter how good a product...

    Meg's D181 Leather Cleaner (no conditioner)....any experiences?

    We use it daily. For me it has been the best cleaner compared to multiple apc's and a few other leather cleaners. I am hoping to someday find an APC that cleans as well to reduce cost. The search continues. P.S. I have not tried the Gyeon, sorry.

    IDA certification

    One of my favorite benefits is the webinar held on the 3rd Thursday of most months. Various volunteers will share with us what is working for them or in the industry. Many great conversations stem from there. We also can go back through the archives and listen to past webinars.

    IDA certification

    The IDA may not be for all of us, but I do feel that most of us should investigate it. We have to ask ourselves where do we want to be in 5 years, 10 years or 20. The IDA's mission is to elevate the value of the detail technician and the detail service. It is started, built and grown by...

    Review: Black Label Diamond Paint Coating

    We use it often and are very satisfied. I have been monitoring it on my 3 personal vehicles for nearly three years. I am very comfortable telling my customers that it will last 2 to 3 years with decent care.

    How swirl resistant is Toyota paint?

    It sounds like a terrific blessing to me. I think it is unlikely that the dealership put a coating. I would say enjoy it and don't try to find imperfections.

    Can you name all 23 Polishers?

    Nope, many but not all. How exciting, just 2 1/2 more weeks!

    Measurable coating thickness?

    Great Question. I have not, and am looking forward to hearing what people say. In the past the Opti-Coat claimed to, but I never measured one. SUBSCRIBED
