1997 Ford Taurus SHO 3.4L V-8, 241,400 miles. Time for an upgrade :-)

I didn't realize this thread is a year old already! What about insurance? I know detailing cars you need liability and perhaps garaging insurance, but what about aircraft insurance? After all some planes may be worth more than some third-world country's GDP. I expect most aircraft are detailed...

Go Clean Products makes a dedicated highway paint remover approved by non other than Renny Doyle. It's made in Avilla IN, a small town in NE Indiana.

Nice van! Take good care of it and it should last you many years. A friend of mine has the Safari version and it has turned over more than 240K miles. These vans use a fiberglass leaf spring in the rear. You might want to upgrade to a steel spring for added capacity.

Awesome job, Mike! Would you remove the emblems on the trunk lid to get behind them or use a different technique to polish the small, tight areas? Thanks.

To think in only 50 years we went from this 1924 Ford Model-T: to this 1974 Lamborghini Countach:

Should have said "half-price" and maybe negotiate down to "quarter-price". I think you might have left some meat on the table. I hate when that happens.

:iagree: Nor my wallet skinnier, too.

:iagree: Anyone use the Mothers California Gold Water Spot Remover?

Has anybody used Dr Headlight? They offer a 4-year guarantee if headlight lenses fade again, they'll replace the lenses with OEM parts at no cost to the customer. Apparently they use an epoxy based solution that permeates the lens and is not *just* a top-coat. They also offer a Dr Headlight...

I would like to know how many of you are focusing on headlight restoration as a primary source of business? It seems to me that any car that's on the road, whether it's a $500 car or $75,000+ car, needs clear headlights. That makes any of a car with degraded headlight lenses a possible client...

I've gotten the best results from Symtech's Bright Solutions kits. I've tried the Diamondite kit, but revered to using Symtech's products for headlights that are severely degraded. Good luck.

Start here. Then buy these books before you do anything else. Happy trails! :dblthumb2:

That's sweet! Looks like something out of a science-fiction novel.:xyxthumbs:

I came across this article on the New York Times stating if you provide a good product or service, you should not be afraid to charge a higher rate. Customers frequently tie quality with how much is being charged. "... a [customer] who told her she was doing a great job, but would not be taken...

In most cases, a 2KW generator should do fine. The Honda EU units are highly recommended (very quiet, clean 120 VAC, etc.) even at their higher price compared to the contractor grade generators. Here's a previous thread on the same subject.

Most vacuum HP ratings are misleading. They say "peak HP" instead of average (or RMS) HP which is where most motors operate. On a 120v 20a circuit you will have 2400 watts available, which is typically found in most homes in the US. 1 HP is about 745 watts which limits us to 3.2 HP available at...

Has anyone used the Cyclo brand compounds and polishes? Cyclo Pro Paint Care

:dblthumb2::dblthumb2::dblthumb2: Everything else I've used has been a total disappointment. I've discovered technique helps too. I use a MF towel that's damp with ONR solution, wipe twice in alternate directions (left-to-right, then up-down) and follow up with a dry MF towel drying in the same...
