Yea being early April it SHOULDN'T be too hot here in North Carolina. Thanks for the link. I have been wanting to try HD Speed, but it's an AIO polish and not just a wax. Maybe I can use it as an upsell for this detail since an AIO still requires more work than just applying a wax and thus...

Well, I have not reopened yet so his trucks detail isn't scheduled till April. I was just wanting to be prepared and have the wax on hand if it was something I needed to buy.

I realize waxing in the sun isn't recommended, but I have a customer with a 5" lift and 37" tires on his truck and there is no way I can get it in my garage. I can manage to get it in some partial shade, but doubt I can get the whole truck shaded. I know there are some wax/sealants that can be...

Ahhh that makes sense. Yea I think I can manage dumping the old resin out and adding new...haha. Yes, I am going to use the CR Spotless system with my Ryobi 1700 psi pressure washer (1.2 gpm). I might have went a little on the high side with the 10 gallons rinsing per a wash, but I...

I love it! My go to sealant. Easy application/removal and great protection!!

Thanks for that link! So assuming my water is as bad as I think it is (I get horrible water spots and people in my neighborhood even have fresh water delivered to them) I can expect to get around 190 gallons of water from the CR Spotless system. This would be using a pressure washer and I am...

Ok. Assuming my water is pretty bad (in the 450 ppm range) and I use the CR spotless system for ALL rinsing of the soap during the wash process, any idea how long the resin/filter will go before being needed to be changed? Just wondered if anyone had a similar situation to give me a rough idea...

Ok guys, correct me if I am wrong, but I want to make sure I am understanding this correctly. Most of these de-ionization systems consist of two canisters. One appears to be just a filter and the other contains the resin. I have a filter under my house, but what if I mounted another filter...

Been looking into the CR Spotless system for a while now. The cost is the only thing keeping me from pulling the trigger. Anyone here rig up their own filtration and water softener setup?

^ What he said! A Meguiar's microfiber cutting pad fits right between the wool and foam pads as far as cutting ability goes. A microfiber cutting pad is likely to finish better than a wool pad. Now if your removing sanding scratches then a wool pad would be the way to go.

Consider yourself extremely lucky. I would die to have a situation like that.

I agree with the above comment of forgetting the Lexol. I don't have any experience with 303s cleaner (just the protectant which is great stuff), but I would look into Meguiars D108 Super Degreaser. Dilute it down to 10:1 for interior use and heavy soiled areas like door jams you can use it 4:1...

Thanks so much for the info! Your right, 5 gallons should give me two good coats on the garage floor. I don't mind spending in the neighborhood of $300 if it is as good of a product as they claim. I didn't see any info on what steps they recommend before applying that sealer. Do you know if...

Great to know as I have been looking into the clear sealers. Garage is only 3 years old so floor is in great shape and NC gets very little snow/salt so not much of an issue there. Thanks for your help!

So I am looking into putting a coating of some sort on the concrete inside my 20x24 garage that I detail out of. Besides the obvious of making the floor look nicer, I am really more concerned with protecting the bare concrete from my chemicals and also aiding in keeping the dust down. I'm not...

Was it blown dry after the pressure washing?? I know of some reputable shops that use that exact method, but they blow the engine dry after pressure washing it clean.

So I started my business 2 years ago and threw together a cheap business card. I didn't have a website, Facebook page, or even logo for my business at that time so it is kind of out dated. I don't feel that it looks professional at all and honestly I am not even proud of it, which causes me to...

Thanks guys.

Congrats! Very reasonable prices! Not that it really matters, but what are the vehicles?

I'm interested in which coating you recommend as well.
