But still no video of it doing what it claims to do. You'd think if it was that great there would be some evidence, wouldn't you? How's about I link you to any one of a kazillion products on Amazon that have 11 5-star reviews from verified purchasers and you tell me how confident you feel...

If you want to be deceptive, go ahead and ignore the fact that it's listed as the "Wax Attack 2 POWER PRO" and then pretend that labelling something PRO doesn't imply that it's claiming to be a prosumer tool. For $120, I would like a tool that will do something more than spread wax. Do me a...

Hmm....I'm just going to copy and paste this from the description of the product found on Mother's website: This pro-grade polisher is designed to eliminate vibrations to provide a smooth and safe operation for polishing and waxing your paint. Notice the words "pro-grade" in there? Sure...

That's not how science works. It's not up to me to prove it's false, it's up to the chemists for those companies making the claims to prove that it's TRUE. But you go ahead and sell unproven pixie dust hype to your customers, and we can all judge what kind of businessman you are -- in our...

Neither of those characteristics are due to what is basically ground up pencil lead added to the coating. They may be due to reformulation of the resins, etc in the coating. And let me tell you customers just LOVE being upsold on magic pixie dust, it really earns you a reputation as an honest...

Graphene as used by the folks marketing it today is 100 percent hype. It is an additive to an existing resin-based orceramic coating. They add RGO, which is basically graphite, to the coating and call it "graphene". Any benefit offered by the graphene coatings is independent of the added RGO...

I have no insight into what a 12V battery would power in a full BEV like a Leaf, and what its charge/discharge cycle looks like compared to an ICE vehicle, but I will agree that 6 years would be a great lifespan for a 12V battery in an ICE vehicle. And when those suckers fail, they just suddenly...

Yeah, my bad there, I was thinking of the outer body rust warranties. The first thing you need to do is find out just how bad that paint failure really is, is it down to primer or is it down to the metal? Either way you will need to seal up the edges of the failure area in order to prevent...

My business isn't detailing, my business is databases. Let me tell you one of the top things that people put off thinking about in just about every business until it's too late: a backup plan. While that Kranzle looks really nice, I can't imagine myself dropping enough to afford two of them...

I am not sure how this would not be a warranty issue, unless you have a crap-ton of miles on it?

If you click on the ad you will see that there are exclusions. There are almost always exclusions on polishers and certain brands of stuff.

The big difference is that the PBL (and any ceramic coating) will protect the finish and restore it to its natural color. The Solution Finish is going to turn stuff black, because it's full of black pigment.

Long story coming... My dad is 81 years old, a retired mechanic who knows how to work with his hands. He taught me almost everything I know about fixing things. He used to impart such wise words as "Pain hurts and fire burns" and "Don't force it, use a bigger hammer." He helped me refinish the...

That completely depends on your definition of the word "cost" You are talking about hours and hours of time. How much is your time worth? At $30 an hour (which I think of as VERY LOW) you are going to spend $150 just in the value of your time (assuming 5 hours -- but Mike uses the "Buddy"...

Just curious since the waters are so muddy these days with all the different product claims. Does this leave behind a true ceramic coating, or more of a ceramic sealant along the vein of TW Hybrid Ceramic or Maguiar's Hybrid Ceramic?

Thanks for the update. That's 6 - 12 hours for somewhere between 229 - 279. Doing the math, that means between 23 and 38 bucks per hour gross (assuming 12 hours for larger vehicles, 6 hours for smaller ones), minus all of your overhead. Is that right? Or are you typically selling upgrades...

Wow, I am looking at that list and thinking I would have to work really really fast to get that all done in what I would consider a "profitable" time for me. How long does the emerald package typically take you?

Yeah, I have this thing, but it doesn't work as well as I thought it would:

While I am but a hobbyist, I ordered some of this coating recently based on this post and gave it a shot on my car. I spent a lot of time claying and polishing with various compounds and polishes, and in the end decided that even though there are visible scratches remaining in the car, I don't...

Can you give me an example of what you're talking about? Searching for "carpet brush" returns everything from drill brushes to regular scrub brushes for cleaning the bathroom floor.
