    Help with pricing for small car dealership

    Good call on the Meg's Hyper dressing. Probably one of the best deals out there if you use it at 4:1. Durability is pretty good as well and doesn't leave any nasty residue on trim or tires. I use it straight on my high end details and apply it with a MF applicator like a gel. Before pick up...

    Testing 2" Pneumatic DA Polisher (Video)

    Mine's not plumbed correctly because up until now I've just been using it for air purging. I'll be adding filters soon. The reason mine was spitting oil was because I was adding drops of oil directly into the machine and probably put too much. Good call on the water drops and such. I'm sure...

    Help with pricing for small car dealership

    Has to be cash, never spend more than 3 hours under any circumstance unless you upcharge. I would also just use an AIO polish like Meg's D151. It's very cost effective. Keep your chemicals simple and cheap and don't worry about getting every stain out. A good cheap wheel cleaner is Meg's Non...

    Check out this review I did of the 2" machine: 2" pneumatic DA review I screwed up and accidentally deleted the original video, but scroll down and you'll see where I posted a new link.

    Testing 2" Pneumatic DA Polisher (Video)

    Yeah, it'll probably run a minute and a half or two minutes without kicking on. Even when it does kick on, it catches up. Dellinger, the BP did come with it. They also sell extras. We all know that there are tight spots on certain cars that just can't be polished by machine. I'm not sure...

    It does spit a little oil. The only real con I have found so far. You can turn the vent to spit a different direction though lol.

    Testing 2" Pneumatic DA Polisher (Video)

    That's exactly what I did. I even tried just copy and pasting the URL directly. I've posted videos before on here and other forums. I don't get it. No biggie. I probably just did something stupid.

    Testing 2" Pneumatic DA Polisher (Video)

    Don't be fooled. What you are about to see is not a TA50, nor does it cost $300+ Normally, I'd say go for quality, get the Rupes. The problem is that it's over $300 and they clearly claim that they do not think the machine will hold up to polishing. I'm not willing to pay $300 to find out that...

    Vacuuming Stubborn Carpet

    Dry brush first, and like eagle fan said, a brush on a DA is awesome. I also air purge with compressed air.

    Evaluate the customer first!

    Agreed, that's why it is important to have an immaculately clean shop and personal appearance. If you look like a hobo, nobody will take you seriously.

    Evaluate the customer first!

    This is one of the first things a new detailer should read. It took me so long to get this concept through my head. Most people are clueless, and that's ok. They aren't professional detailers. Most of the time, no amount of talking to them and educating them is going to get them to stop going...

    Meguiar's D14001 Wheel Brightener - I'm sick of it

    I think at one time there was a use. In professional detailing you can encounter some pretty crazy neglect. . .especially on German vehicles with heavy dust. No amount of elbow grease can remove baked on brake dust without a very power wheel cleaner and that's why a lot of guys did and still do...

    Anything with 'Lingenfelter' on it deserves 'The Finest' - Rare SSR Corrected & Coated

    Yep, I'm authorized for finest now. I've done quite a few opti coat pro jobs now, so I'm interested to see how they compare. I think both products probably have their own strengths. Right now, I'm using a dewalt rotary with 3" bp for difficult tight spots, but the size of the machine is...
