So I am running out of my hoard of Opti-Coat 2.0. I bought a bunch of it last year when Optimum decided to do away with it for Gloss Coat. My customers have been very happy with it so I sill want to offer a high quality coating next detailing season. The problem is that my small, home based...

New shop looks great and I am so happy to see your success! Your definitely an inspiration to some of us like myself. I can remember my first few posts on Autogeek when I was just starting out 2 years ago. You reached out to answer my questions and was always so helpful with answering my many...

I was just about to post a thread on this as Black Friday is approaching and I would like to take advantage of some savings on a PTG. What exactly makes a Defelsko PTG (their cheapest $600 model) worth the $200ish more than a Highline PTG? Is it purely their reputable name?

Bob, first off, thanks for your reply! I'm not sure he even knows what has been used on the Corvette because he had another detailer detailing it. He got rid of him when he found him cleaning the engine bays with cold water while they were running. Not something I would do personally, but...

A potential customer approached me about about detailing his 1981 Corvette. He informed me that it has lead based paint and can not be washed with regular soap because it will "fade the paint" quickly. He also told me that it has only been "dry washed", which I am assuming he means waterless...

I have the exact same pressure washer and love it. High pressure tip gives PLENTY of pressure for your washing needs and the yellow lower pressure tip is perfect for engine bays. In the nearly 2 years that I have owned it (has gotten a lot of use in that time) the only issue I have had is the...

Is this the exact same product as the Optimum Protectant Plus that is sold in ths gallon container? If it is then I love this stuff and use it on leather seats as well as leather interior accents on doors/dash. Has a great new leather scent and gives a low shine finish.

Isn't Back to Black more of a dressing than a trim cleaner? Personally I would still want to clean the trim the best I could BEFORE applying any kind of dressing.

I like their scents as well. Namely their "New Car" scent. My customers all love how it smells. Are there any of these sprayable scents that last much longer tben 2 days?

I've had good results from Meguiars #40 Meguiars Mirror Glaze #40 Vinyl & Rubber Cleaner / Conditioner

Thank you sir! The price of that unit alone might make it worth a shot.

I'd love to find a Menzerna banner as well.

I recently found a great deal on my favorite wheel cleaner (Sonax Wheel Cleaner Plus) in a 25 liter container. I love the stuff and bit the bullet when I bought such a large amount of it. It should last me quite a while so I won't have to worry about purchasing any more anytime soon. There is...

Another vote for Husky LED work lights. I picked up this 2500 Lumen LED work light (Husky 5 ft. 2500 Lumen Multi-Directional LED Work Light-3PL-TP-DF-24W - The Home Depot) a few months ago and could not be more satisfied with it. Feels well built, decent amount of height adjustment (gets fairly...

I think your right. I was not successful at brightening it up any.

Working on a well care for 2005 Jaguar. Has lots of chrome accents that are in great shape EXCEPT for the chrome trim around the side windows. It's dull and looks like it has been stained by oxidation/water spots. I tries a few polishes (Wolfgang Aluminum Concours Polish and Wenol) as well as...

Anyone? Is there some kind of chmical that will attack the dried foam and loosen it enough to remove it?

Unfortunately it's already dried. Been on the car for a week now :/

Hey guys, a buddy of mine recently was in a parking lot of a construction site. A can of spray foam sealant (like "Great Stuff") was ran over, spraying his car with the foam. Anyone know of a way to safely remove it??

If you don't mind me asking, what type of clear are you using? Automotive clear coat or just an aerosol clear coat that you can find in any store?
