    Steam cleaning

    Meguiars APC by the gallon is so inexpensive, that it shouldn't even be an afterthought. You are asking about saving money, you are just starting out & say your business will NOT be high volume...but your budget for a steamer is a Grand $! I picked up a refurb Mytee Firebird for $249 and love...

    My Rims and Sea Salt at the Beach

    In my experience, most cleaner waxes, used with a microfiber towel will remove waterspots on chrome wheels. If they have been there a long time and etched the surface, this will not work.
