Depends on the laws of your state. Some states don't require much if you only have a couple employees, other make your start paying workman's comp insurance if you have 1 or 2. Best advice I can give is to check with your state labor office and know the requirements and the cost for...

I use steam on interiors. I used to use chemicals and scrub until my arms fell off. Check out the McCulloch heavy duty steamer. Has a bunch or attachments that work great for cars and isn't nearly as expensive as I thought they would be. Wish I had gotten one years ago.

To be honest, I'm surprised it still had clear coat on it. Sitting in the sun in El Paso, TX usually takes it all off in a couple years. Surprised it has lasted 26 years!

Great work. Nothing more rewarding than bringing one back to life.

I use the Pinnacle as well. Works great, I think it provides a bit of softness/flexibility to the leather to help prevent cracking. Also, has that leather smell, keeping my vehicles with that new car leather smell!

Just finished transforming a severely neglected Gen IV camaro. The car had sat outside for several years, had pine sap/tar, bird droppings and well as years worth of dust, dirt, and water spots. The paint looked good from a mile away on a dark night if you were wearing dark sun glasses. It...

I've never tried Folex, maybe I need to give it a shot. I've always had great results with an orange citrus cleaner and then hit the stain with my steam cleaner and wipe with a clean microfiber. If you don't have a steam cleaner, look into the McCulluch, not expensive at all, best investment I...

I still use the BF, I use the instant detailer more than the spray wax now. I till use the midnight sun paste wax as a base and then touch up with instant detailer. pulled the spray wax out the other day for my daughters car, still good stuff.

I have a drying rack that i hang mine on.

My PC 7424XP bearing froze up on me, cost to repair was more than a new machine. Plus I was in the middle of a detail and needed a replacement quickly (I only use it for small areas, my Flex gets the big work) I went to Harbor Freight and bought their polisher and actually like it better than...

As already mentioned, there are a million different combinations/products you can use and asking this question is like asking what's better Ford or Chevy, (the obvious answer is Chevy). I personally use a lot of Black Fire products and like using the paint sealant followed with Midnight Sun...

Sometimes it's almost impossible to get all the browning/blooming off a tire. Different brands are more difficult depending on how much antiozonant the manufacturer adds. I've scrubbed tires 3, even 4 times without getting it all off. Unless you want to spend the entire day scrubbing tires...

Amazing results. I haven't taken the time to go that extreme on my Harleys yet. I've done a 7-8 hour detail on the Ultra with great results, but really need to get after the nooks and crannies. The Heritage has been neglected with just the occasional 3-4 clean up and wax, but still looks...

Looking awesome I really like the lift you have as well. What brand is it? what's your thoughts/pros/cons on it. Right now I use a small center jack type lift because its very portable and I can easily move it out to the driveway to jack the bikes up for washing, but want to add another lift...

I use Wolfgang Exterior Trim Sealant and have had great results. I've tried other products, love 303, but nothing I've found works as well on exterior plastic grills and fender flairs.

I definitely spend time educating them. Even go as far as to tell them I'm wasting my time and their money if they keep going back to that carwash. I use it as an opportunity to upsell paint sealer/ceramic coating and tell them to use touchless washes only until they can wash it properly.

I went with an eggshell pure white in my garage mainly for brightness. I have a 32x32 garage with ten 8' LED light strips for lighting. I can't remember the exact LED light color, but it's what is supposed to be the closest to sunlight. I also have an epoxy floor finish. I used 3/8" OSB...

Yeah, I'll get the new plate and try them out. I normally use 6.5" and 4" when doing cars. Motorcycles are pretty much exclusively 4" not too many times I would need a smaller pad with them. It's definitely worth a try since I'm getting so frustrated with the 4" options.

I don't hold up a post it note, but I do tell them their clear coat is thinner than a post it note/piece of paper. Thanks for the replies, I felt I was taking the right approach, but it's always nice to get other opinions.

Thanks for the replies I have some 3" LC pads, but I haven't tried them, to be honest I don't know why I bought them, my backing plate is too big for 3" pads. Was really hoping someone would have some good recommendations for 4" pads. I used to like the LC 4" pads, but they were a thinner...
