    Haha, it did. I brought a bottle of waterless wash and did a quick wipedown to get the images I liked.

    I have renters insurance through State Farm that has a very similar protection for personal property. You have to purchase computer coverage seperate though.

    Glaze. Before or After

    Which glaze are you using? Are you using the glaze to hide the swirls or scratches that did not come out, to make it shine, or both?

    Can I Start a Home Service Detailing Business with this Tools?

    I clean a lot of nasty interiors so I use the carpet and upholstery brush on the PC. It helps a ton when trying to get the shampoo worked in and getting the nasty stains out.

    Can I Start a Home Service Detailing Business with this Tools?

    Fixed Don't forget to upgrade that DA as soon as able to a Griots or better. I currently have a PC 7424XP and next year I am putting that down to carpet duty only and I am going to pick up a Griots and a Flex 3401 or a Rupes 15 (haven't decided yet) Also, don't skimp on your polishs and...

    Can I Start a Home Service Detailing Business with this Tools?

    I'm just saying for staring out there is no need to get a pressure washer, tank, pump, foam gun, etc... A ton of microfiber towels are a lot cheaper than all of that. Once his business kicks in high gear he can think about that. If money was no object there are at least 15,000 dollars worth...

    Waxing before rain?

    Make sure you do the plastic baggie test to see if the car needs to be clayed or not, but other than that you are spot on.

    Waxing before rain?

    What ^ said. XXX has a very small cure time so there is no need to worry about the rain. Also, I would just apply it, wait 30 minutes, and apply a second coat. that way you don't have to clean the surface again and you will have the best look and you will have the peace of mind knowing that...

    Can I Start a Home Service Detailing Business with this Tools?

    I agree with most of this. I do not need a pressure washer as I do not offer a 2 bucket wash mobile unless they allow me to use their water. It is cheaper and easier for me and they don't mind. When you're just starting out (like me) keep in mind that you don't need everything under the...

    Has anyone used Extreme Depth with X-seal?

    For reference this is a truck I detailed using Butter Wet Wax and Blue Guard. Pictures were taken from the owner.

    Has anyone used Extreme Depth with X-seal?

    I have sealants as well. Some customers don't want to purchase the package with them or upgrade to them. They won't listen to me when I tell them that a sealant is better for their particular case. I am using this type of wax for my lowest detail. I do not want to spend more money than I...

    Has anyone used Extreme Depth with X-seal?

    I want to know if this product lives up to the hype created by CG. I currently am using Butter Wet Wax as my entry level wax and have been pleased with the results, but i want a wax that will protect my customers vehicles longer so they don't have to pay for wax every two months. Any thoughts...

    Extreme Depth Liquid Carnauba Creme Wax + X Seal

    Has anyone used this product and is willing to leave a review. I currently am using Butter Wet Wax as my entry level wax and I am looking at this because it claims to have higher durability and the shine level is about the same.

    Airfreshners - Does Anyone Really Use Them?

    The only reason I never cared for most CG stuff is cause I felt it may offend a female client...... their products are great, but they seem to advertise more for the male. Id love to check out the scent for sure though! The only clients of mine that choose Stripper Scent are females...

    How to restore exterior black plastic trim

    Does the brush not do any damage on the white part of the tire? Also, is it advised to take the trim pieces off of the vehicle if you want to use the PC or can you just be careful and use it while the trim is on?

    How to get your name out there!!!

    Was it difficult to get them to agree to those prices, or was that after them haggiling you down? I assume you wash, wax, vac and protect interior right?

    BEST rinseless wash for my new 2013 Civic?

    You should look into waterless washes too. I haven't tried a rinseless wash but my Ecowash from Chemical guys is super slick and leaves behind a nice shine that lasts about a week. I use a 1 liter bottle to spray it on and I use maybe a third of it each time. I mixed up a 5 gallon batch of...
