    How many microfiber towels does it take to coat a car?

    Spies are excellent detailers.

    Washing MF towels

    Adding some household ammonia or another alkali to the washing machine or wash bucket can help remove waxes & sealants from MF & buffing pads by saponification. This is definitely not a time to play More is More Better!, so don't add two cups of lye to the load. IIRC, I added a cup of ammonia to...

    Engine bay before and after.

    Good job! Reminds me I need to do mine. Blasting high pressure water into a fuse box can cause problems, but I don't find water to be much of a hazard under the hood, as long as it's used wisely.

    Gift bucket ideas

    Two buckets, and the knowledge to use them. You only have to Grit Guard one (I know what GG has to say about that).

    Questions regarding glaze + sealant..

    I don't see a point in another wash after the IPA wipedown. That's just another chance to scratch up your work with nothing to gain. Also, you might do a small test to see if topping with 845 is beneficial. Two coats of Klasse makes more sense to me. Take your time, work clean, don't progress to...

    Iron X marring/etching painted alloy wheels.

    That's worth passing on to the AG staff. Glad you figured it out.

    Need new pressure washer, any recommendation?

    The rest of your post may hold true WRT foam, but the total water output is a function of the gallons per minute (gpm) rating of the pump. There's a huge difference in the capabilities of a commercial, high gpm pressure washer and a consumer, low gpm unit that develops the same pressure, and...

    Yes, We're OPEN!

    ^ This is why AG should have a Nick's 23 product line.

    Well I don't, and Nick said he's going to put a free bottle in my order from yesterday, so we really don't want any fires at Autogeek. Or Nick's house. I guess. Let's remember, he still hasn't shipped me my free wax, so no fires at AG or Nick's house. At least until I have shipping confirmation.

    My FIRST bad interaction with customer

    It's important to remember that every market is different, especially in smaller communities. Pricing and bundled services have to meet the market demand to a certain extent. If there's little demand for paint decon in his area, making it a mandatory part of every package beyond a wash may not...

    My FIRST bad interaction with customer

    You did ok by him, and seeing you discuss the situation as you have here tells me you aren't a jackass looking to screw anybody. Customer service can be tricky. In general, if you make a good faith effort to please a customer, they'll usually recognize your efforts to work with them. For the...

    If you're addressing me, I thought that quoting Nick would be sufficient to steer what should be a celebratory thread back on track. I'm not sure what you're after at this point. :dunno:

    Iron X marring/etching painted alloy wheels.

    Iron X Iron Remover, CQuartz IronX, Paint Cleaner, paint decontamination - "Iron X is highly recommended for all clear coated alloy wheels." :dunno: Maybe age was a factor; maybe not. I'd contact the manufacturer if I had doubts about an older product. I have some bottles from Menzerna that...

    New Tradition Starts MONDAY!

    I'd planned on burning through the rest of my Menzerna FMJ before looking at new sealants & waxes. I wonder if they'll slip a jar of something in my order from a few hours ago. I still like the idea of a Nick's 23 and Mike Phillips Select product lines.

    Roll Call - What's your real first name?

    Hi, Sharon. I saw in the ChatBox that you mentioned a problem with the Lake Country backing plate on your Flex polisher. Try posting a thread with some photos in the Flex sub-forum: Flex Polishers

    I could see that. They already have a pretty nice membership feature built into the store. Maybe with Canadough currency.
