    Do I need to wash car after compound/polish?

    105 dusts like crazy, so unless you like the dust in your way I say no. If you want to apply a sealant on a nice clean surface I say yes.

    Window Tint Hazards?

    Do it yourself if your super concerned. No one will take care of your car like you, and unless you stand there the whole time you won't know what will happen. So either do it yourself or take it in and clean it up after.

    iPhone pics

    An app won't change your phone camera lense. A phone camera lens is limited by it's size, so if you want something better you have to go with an actual camera. If not try and get the best shots you can.

    Is this much splatter normal?

    No, it's not normal. Is this the lowest setting for your machine? If not set it at the lowes speed and spread it quickly before speeding it up. You can also dab it on a few spots to pread it out before you turn it on. M105 will be hard to clean up if it splatters everywhere and dries up. Good luck

    I use square although there are other readers with a little lower fee. I never charge the customer a fee. To me I hate when people charge me So I don't charge my customers. It's just another cost of doin business, eat it upfront and write it off.
