    Picked up a gallon of Sonax, ONR, and Barebones. Gonna pick up Solution Finish, Optimum Opti-Bond Tire Gel, and more pads after my next job. I also want a stronger degreaser and some glass polish and tar remover.

    Any one here do work in business parking lots?

    You're located near me. We have a lot of tech companies around here. The ones that don't have any hazardous materials on site should be easier to do business with than the ones that do. The companies with hazmat are heavily regulated, to the point of being required to report a sheen of oil...

    Any Hope For Car With Clear Coat Flaked Off?

    "it is especially used for larger surfaces (1 or 2 car parts)." Think 3 cans will do the roof and trunk? And do you know if it will spray well if I'm holding the can vertically for those surfaces? I have N95s, a few full face APRs, and an SCBA at home. haha.

    Up Close & Personal: FLEX Swirl Finder Light

    It looks like a cheap flashlight with a price markup because it is being marketed for a specific purpose. It has a strobe mode, which is great for confusing attackers, but 100% useless for looking at swirl marks. The strike bezel is good for hurting people, and it would probably hurt the paint...

    Any Hope For Car With Clear Coat Flaked Off?

    My GF's car's hood and trunk have had the clear coat almost completely peeled and chipped off (Dark blue Honda Civic). Is there any hope for getting it to look OK without painting it? We plan to paint it in the future, but it's pricey and not at the top of our list.

    I was looking at the Orange 88, I think it's stronger than All Clean+. Does it do well on engine degreasing?

    Is There A Way To Test Polishing Strengths?

    Is there a way to test/know/feel the cutting strength of different polishes? I know many will be obvious by reading the label or knowing the product, but what about things like finishing polishes? How can I tell which similar product is more or less abrasive than the next?

    APC and/or car wash. Is something dedicated needed? ETA - I haven't purchased a dedicated wheel cleaner because my wheels are painted since they get messed up while off roading all the time. My wheel brush and car shampoo have been doing fine on them.

    I'll check out the sponsor sales too. I usually shop through Amazon for everything because of same day - two day shipping and I shop through a link that donates a portion of the sale to a charity that I like.

    Do I Have The Necessary Equipment To Start Detailing As A Side Gig?

    Amazon cart is getting full! I forgot to add clay to my list of things I have. I'll get more pads and other items as I have the funds. This isn't cheap! My consumer grade polish and rubbing compound suck so I picked up some CG cutting and polishing compounds (V36, V38) Also picked up a...
