Anyone here using Megs M105 and or M205 for light to moderate headlight restoration?

Plenty of solid advice here already. On occasion, I have topped a sealant with a carnuba wax because I much prefer the look and finish of carnuba's warm glow over the sort of "sterile" shine of sealant, especially on black paint, but that is simply personal preference. I expect absolutely no...

Thanks for the reply Mike, The Makita does have my interest at the moment. I agree it seems that it should be primarily considered a forced rotation machine as the free-spin mode is reported to be such a disappointment.

Anyone have any hands-on experience with this? Much like the Makita PO500C, it is advertised as a "dual mode" machine (free spin & forced rotation) I did notice that it is not available here at Autogeek anymore. Wonder why.. I was initially interested in the PO5000C until forum members advised...

Good morning Eldorado2k, and thank you for your detailed response as well! With regard to my comments on Meguiars "taking the low-road", I got that "perception" after reading Mike's recent post on the matter. I came away with the impression that Meguiars didn't provide enough marketing support...

Good morning Mike, thank you for taking the time to write your in-depth and detailed response. I agree with you 100% in that perception is reality, weather its right or wrong. It is what it is! On the matter of Meguiars attempt to educate the market place, I was unaware that Megs did in fact...

I too thought of suggesting the grounding technique, but in this case its a Corvette with a fiberglass body, Not sure if that would work. There are a few QDs that advertise anti-static properties though.

Hello Mike, Just read what you wrote regarding how Meguiars ultimately decided to go with a beading action over the more effective sheeting action. Well, what a damn shame. If Meguiars knew full well that sheeting was the superior effect over beading, and had the technical data to prove it...

Give us all a hint to the product name. For example it rhymes with.......

Ok, I see. Well, this car may be a convenient excuse to give those products a try! Do let us know what you finally decided. I'm interested to know. Kind regards...

Why not try a test-spot or two with some polishes you already have? As you mention, start with the least aggressive approach and go from there. You may already have what you need!

Sudsmobile, Thanks for clarifying that. It completely makes sense to me now.

Thank you for the insight thus far, interesting. Sudsmobile, just curious, what is the justification for discounting the labor rate so much when more than one person is working a given job? On another note, I do agree that what the local market is charging for a given service will be very...

When determining what to charge for a certain exterior detail service, lets say for this example a full size sedan (Chevy Impala), and the service is a wash, claybar, polishing of moderate defects and application of an LSP. One would assume that the biggest component of your pricing structure...

I think most customers would be fine with a slight delay in responsiveness. What seems to be a common thread here is a complete lack of any response at all. Running and managing the day-to-day operations of a busy (and expanding) business can be very taxing on the staff. However, the business...

I completely agree with the above. However, that being said there are 2 core fundamentals to to any customer service experience and they are: 1. Responsiveness 2. Professionalism I'm sure some of the people airing their concerns here ultimately had their issues resolved, perhaps by telephone...

Hello "Visitor" and thank you for your assistance. Just a thought, could we post your message including the 1-800 number as a "Sticky" to be permanently posted at the top of this forum as there does seem to be a fair amount of disappointed posts regarding customer service. A single posting (as...

So, Blackfire has formally introduced their Car Dryer. Looks interesting! Blackfire, could you please list some specific performance specs with regard to cubic feet per minute (CFM) as well as air speed in MPH? The 6HP. motor sounds impressive, but the volume and speed of air movement are...

I too have recently become frustrated with the total lack of response from Autogeek. I recently made 2 attempts at messaging them to get some questions answered and have since been completely ignored. So frustrating!

I wonder the same. Apparently they didn't even respond to your forum post either. Nice. I have recently sent them (Autogeek) two separate messages trying to get a couple questions answered and have been absolutely ignored,
