    Detailing my first motorcycle

    Just be careful and try not to spray a direct stream of water underneath the seat. On some bikes that's where the computer and electronics are. I'm sure you also know this, but don't dress the tires. You can try your metal polish on the exhaust, but most of the time it won't come out. Don't beat...

    OPC replacement

    I use apc+ but I always do a test spot on leather. Sometimes it pulls the color out.

    Couple of cars I did

    Thanks guys!!! XLNTShine- Brown Royal works pretty well. Probably a hair better than MegsAPC+ IMO. It's about the same price I believe. It's advertised as a spray on rinse off product, but unless you already cleaned your wheels really well the week before, you still have to agitate a little. I...

    hard well water

    Hmm that's an idea. I would probably have to buy 1 for each car. I don't know that much about water but here is a pic of a big spot. They are usually smaller than this but this is a good example. Just a theory, but maybe too much salt is causing it to dry so fast and leaving behind this milky film.

    hard well water

    Long story short, the house I do detailin at has well water. The people who owned the house had a water softener put in as well. I think there might be too much salt in the water because its hazy when I fill a bucket, but it settles within a few minutes. I'm having a hard time detailing cars...

    cloth and fabric seats

    adams detail spray causing film

    I hate to say this but I think that your attitude has something to do with you not getting anywhere with customer service. You came on here ready for a fight. Secondly that looks like you applied it in the sun when the surface was hot. I did that with my car with a different detail spray and it...

    menzerna sip, po106fa, po85rd

    Not trying to hijack the thread but I tried this according to the chart. I'm brand new to polishing so it could be something I am doing or maybe normal. It seemed like it came out hazy and when I tried to wipe it off it also seemed greasy. I used a white pad for power finish and then a grey pad...
