    best glossy tire dressing

    Why would anyone apply tire dressing if they desire a 'matte' look? Couldn't you just leave the clean tire,.....clean? To each their own, but to me and my clients, you need juicy, wet and glossy tire dressing to complete the detail. I see people post finished results of vehicles and they...

    Should I Avoid a Job?

    I'd concur with Bobby and Kevin. Question, how long have you been detailing? Have you performed a lot of interior jobs where pet hair was an issue? Just curious. I don't think I'd go in with the thought of turning it down. It sounds like you know what to do in your last post. Try different...

    Too Much Time Spent

    To repeat what others have said,...EQUIPMENT. I started w/ a Little Green Steam Machine by Bissell. Emptied it at least 4x every job. Upgraded to a extractor and cut my time in half. Also,....REPETITION. I cut my teeth on absolute crap cars that looked extremely good when I was finished. Those...

    Help! How can I fix this big scratch?

    How'd it turn out? I've had luck in the past with wet sanding, buffing then filling the scratch with paint, letting it dry, then buff again. Repeat until level.

    White compound dust

    I've found that the heavier the cut, the more it dusts. Usually I'll re-wash after compounding, or if it's not too bad use the leaf blower to blow it all off. Be sure and pay close attention to the door jambs afterwards as dust WILL get in there. Good luck.

    $30 Wax that Beats Zymole Royale ($8,500)?!

    Someone do half a car with Meg's Gold Class and Zymol on the other for a car show. Think they could tell which side is which?

    REALLY REALLY bad water spots

    GLass: Try 0000 steel wool and chrome polish, (yes, chrome polish) OR 3m Super Duty Compound. I get mine from auto body paint stores. Try in a small spot and see what happens. Paint: Are you comfortable wet sanding? Did she sign a liability waiver? Have you told her you do not guarantee...

    Horrible wash mitt

    To echo what other's have said, I'd just buy the blue mf wash sponge that has scrubber on opposite side. I'd never order a wash mitt that was over-priced when it made no noticeable difference than the other. Oh, except when I was starting out and thought I needed 'specialty' this and 'specialty'...

    Newbie: Need Advice/Guidance

    I'm not familiar with CG's v-line so I have no idea if it's better than M105/205, but I highly doubt it. For me,...I love the M105/205 combo. It's my go to. I'd skip the wax. You did say that YOU could notice a difference. right? There's your answer.

    Cleaning "sport" cloth seats?

    ugh. Whoever designed this fabric and approved it's use should be shot. Mazda,(Ford owns), and Dodge. Drives me insane. Anyway, I'd try MEg's APC+ diluted 10:1, light brushing, because this fabric has frayed up on me if I scrubbed too hard, followed by steam and then extract. If you do not...

    Pollen season and carshow question

    If it was mine, I'd just be sure to flip the mf towel as often as possible. Fold into 1/4s, spray, wipe, repeat. Also I'd be hesitant to wipe in a 'back and forth' motion. Easy on the pressure and wipe in a straight line. Good luck.

    The most over-rated products?

    smashburger...meh. Fries are too thin, and the metal baskets absolutely are the worst idea ever to serve burger and fries in. Why? Because once the ketchup soaks thru the tissue paper that lines the basket, you got ketchup all over. Place is soooooo overrated. Also, could they make a LARGE...

    The most over-rated products?

    1. VX5000 Steamer- IMHO it did no better than the $99 Wagner from Lowe's. For $800 I'd expect just a tiny bit of performance difference. 2. Sonax Full Effect- Not to beat a dead horse, but this stuff is not worth the money. I bought a 6-pack on special from another site. Used it on my wife's...
