    Wet-sanded through OEM clearcoat

    washnwax, sorry to hear your troubles. I had a similar problem (right in the middle of the hood of a BMW) and ended up taking the hood of a BMW into a local body shop. Then guy warned me that touching up the spot will always look as though it had been touched up. It was a $400 lesson that I've...

    Polish, Glaze, Sealants, not sure where to start

    From what I understand about the whole process, the polish or polishes you choose to use will remove the swirls. Some scratches may have to stay, it depends on how deep they are. Mike Phillips has said that removing some scratches may actually do more damage because they're so deep. It depends...

    Clay and clay lube recommendations?

    I use Pinnacle clay and have always been pleased with the result. I use ONR as a lube, great stuff (ONR mixed as a lube). These two products have given me the results I've wanted.

    What temperature ranges are best for applying compounds, polishes, waxes and paint sealants

    This is a great article. I found out by chance that, for me, KSG will wipe on & wipe off quite easily in San Antonio winter but is an absolute bear in San Antonio summers. (I realize that for some of you guys up north that San Antonio & winter is an oxymoron.)

    Other hobbies??

    @habeba86, you're welcome but it's the least I can do for these veterans. These veterans either gave their life or were willing to give their life- they deserve military honors at their funeral service. The guys who do the real work are the members of the Memorial Service Detachment, MSD. I'm...

    Other hobbies??

    I play Taps at the funerals of veterans. Tomorrow I have the honor of playing Taps at the funeral of a sailor who survived Pearl Harbor and in May I get to sound Taps at Arlington Nationl Cemetery.

    OK to rinse before using ONR?

    I asked a simliar question a while back but was more along the line, can I spray the car with a waterless wash before ONR. I thought I was being somewhat original, noppers on that one. A lot of guys spray with a waterless product before ONR. So I concur with all the posts above...rinse away.

    advice on price list for hobby detailer

    The layering thing... not saying it's wrong and that's why I said I'm leaving it up to guys a lot smarter than me, but there's some question about affectiveness. I only brought it up because as you get things going you may evaluate your work vs the amount of work you need to do. Knock yourself...

    advice on price list for hobby detailer

    Okay, here are some of the discussions. Also, some sealants suggest up to 12 hours to do their "magic"; 12 hours without moisture, or additional products. Good luck, man...and let us know how it's working for you...

    advice on price list for hobby detailer

    The addition of a wax to a sealant has been discussed by guys a lot smarter than me and if I can find that various links I'll post them. The one thing you can offer is availability. Rather than stand in line at the car wash for "how many" minutes, your customers can set up a specific time with...

    advice on price list for hobby detailer

    I don't know NY prices but you do; I do know that NYC and parts of the upper east coast are more expensive so your prices might be accurate. Best thing- give it a shot. The market and/or the quality of your work will tell you how accurate you are. Knock yourself out on your first customers &...

    Live help is useless.

    Did I miss something? I don't quite get what you're trying to say? Is this an AutoGeek customer service thing? Phone company? Sorry if I missed who you re upset with.

    Starting my Mobile Business But super scared

    Jumping on what Kristopher1129 posted, "Texas Roadhouse" is a national chain restaurant (love the ribs, rolls and sweat tea). In rural Texas was a little mom & pop type restaurant/ beer hangout that used the a name real similar to Texas Roadhouse. This little place offered no threat in any way...

    Dashboard Scratch

    The material is dark gray plastic? It's a Honda Civic, not top of the line Civic- more of an entry level Civic.
