Sorry, I thought that's what you were saying. Just wanted to flat out ask about it....haha. I agree it seems like a great idea.

Not meaning to hijack this thread, but why can't you mix touchup with some clear?

From my experience Dr. Colorchip works great for small chips and "road rash" (many very tiny chips), but not for large chips.

I think we have all had one of those moments. Learning experience!

Figuring approximately 2 hours? Just looking at how to give an estimate on it. I don't have a system to mix my own paint like the Applied Colors system so I usually order the touchup paint. This typically cost me $15-$25. When I factor in my supplies (sanding discs, compound, wear on pads, etc.)...

So you had roughly $50 worth a product/supplies (on the high side) for 9 hours of TOTAL work on the Escalade? I'm no pro, but I would be pretty happy with $17 a hour. Most professionals with their own shops (overhead costs) will say you have to make at least $20-$25 a hour on most details. If...

I am getting more interest lately in getting deep scratches repaired and was wondering what you guys TYPICALLY charge. I know it is dependent on variables like the size of the scratch and possibly the vehicles paint cost. Just looking for the average cost to repair a deep scratch (one needing...

Truer words have NOT been spoken!

So just making sure I have this right, the CR Spotless deionizing system is the only one that you can effectively run a pressure washer with?

Anyone else have experience with the Griots water filter or the Deluxe Clean Water Filter kit that Autogeek sells?

Thanks for your reply! I figured that for the price this wouldn't be completely eliminating the water spots, but for $140 it would be worth it to me if it actually helps reduce them. Detailing part time, I just can't justify putting $500+ into water filtration. So I assume this is what you...

A little foundation info. I detail at my home which is on well water. The filter for my house gets dirty fairly quickly (I replace it every 6 weeks) and the area where I live is known to have hard/sediment ridden water. So I did a search for topics on adding an inline water filter for car...

I use Meguiar's Hyper Dressing for most customers. It's VERY reasonably priced and gives most customers the look they are after which is a shiny engine bay. Depends of course how much you apply, but doesn't take much (even diluted down). For some real car enthusiast that are looking for a...

Great to hear! Thanks for your reply guys! I realize the video might not be the best indicator. I was in a rush making it as well. I can tell you that in person the coating is definitely still present. Any tips on applying the Reload today?

Yea that's what I was afraid of. :(

So last July my Father let me apply a paint coating to his brand new 2014 F-150 (brave soul I know...haha). I did plenty of research before hand and decided to go with Opti-Coat 2.0. I thoroughly washed his truck, then performed a light polish, followed by an Eraser wipe down, before applying...

So last July my father gave me his brand new 2014 F-150 for me to do my first coating application (brave soul I know..haha). I did a lot of research and chose Opti-Coat 2.0. After a thorough wash, light polish, and an Eraser wipedown, I applied the Opti-Coat as directed. I bought him a bottle of...

So I finally broke down and bought my website domain last night. Now it's time to actually make a logo for my business before I make some new updated business cards. I was wondering if any of you kind gentlemen could assist me with my logo. I know there are free logo design websites out...

Great review! I actually applied it for the first time this afternoon. I have had the bottle for about 7 months so upon removing the seal I shook the contents up for a few minutes. When I went to add some to my pad it came out VERY runny and separated. So I continued to shake the contents of...
