A couple asked for dilution ratios for Citrol. This pic is from the back of the gallon I received yesterday

Gallon of Citrol is coming today and Schaeffer's did say there is a dilution chart on the gallon jug. So we will see how it works tomorrow when I have a SUV to detail

Thanks for all the suggestions. Cost is a factor for me since my detail business is a late afternoon (not for much longer with daylight) and weekend only business. Has anyone had any success diluting Citrol which I heard can be done? I know using full strength would be best but if I could cut it...

Yes I have a mobile detail business. the 5 gallon pail is cheaper than buying cases and cases of aerosol cans

I am looking to see what everyone likes for tar removal. I have always used Tarminator and always got the 5 gallon pail so I can use spray bottle rather than buying aerosol cans of it. I can get a 5 gallon pail of Tarminator for around $110 which lasts me the whole year. I have seen a couple...

I did see this one as well and may use McKee's. If my customer decides to pursue higher protection I will recommend coating it.

Thanks for this suggestion. I have seen Dr Beasley's before but the cost may not be worth it to me for such a small area. The car is garage kept and and barely driven.

Any suggestions on a protectant for matte painted surface? I have a customer with a 2017 Camaro which has a black matte painted hood strip and rear spoiler.

Has anyone seen the new Lake Country UDOS polisher? It says it is a 4 in 1. I always thought having a tool that can do one thing masterfully is better than having a tool that can a few things good...you know the master of one is better than a jack of of all trades type of thing. Here is a link...

So I have been using IronX for some time but this past month or so I tried Adam's Iron remover but IronX seemed a little better. Adams did well but needed to do another pass at times. Has anyone else tried Adam's iron remover over IronX? The price and just the scent of Adams is almost worth it...

I have a mobile detailing business in SE Penn and from time to time I struggle to find shade especially when buffing and waxing black or dark colored cars. Has anyone ever used a deck type umbrella rather than a pop-up canopy? I had a pop up canopy but they are cumbersome and sometimes are too...

Yes it is just an appearance thing. I did a 2018 Porsche 911 a couple weeks back and the customer asked why they look rusty. I mentioned to him the reason and told him to just drive it forward or backward with light pressure on the brakes. That did the trick

I have done that as well but some customers just do not want me to turn on the car.

Thanks I will give this a try

I have a small mobile detailing business and have been detailing since 1992. I have used many different wheel cleaners from mild soaps to acid cleaners and occasionally IronX. From time to time when I have to use IronX to remove built on rust and brake dust deposits, I try not to get any...

What does everyone use to get road line paint off trim and body in particular yellow paint? I have used mineral spirits in the past but not cutting it this time.

I did think about getting the Griot's Boss G21 for heavy cutting since it has a longer MM orbital range.

Griot's got back to me and told me to check the electrical brushes. Sure enough one was burnt to a nub and I changed both and started right up. I do like Griot's customer service. They were very helpful.

Thanks everyone for the replies. I did reach out to Griot's last night and just waiting for a call and/or email back. On the other hand I will be buying a new one and if fixable keep the old as a back up. Ugghhh...this means back to the old fashioned rotary the next couple days

I have a small part time detail business where I do 4-6 cars a week. As I was buffing a vehicle yesterday it just started slowing down and eventually the pad and plate would not move or rotate at all. I did smell a small burning scent as if the buffer was overheating. Tried switching it on again...
