Completely agree. That is why I've been having to add heavy contaminant charges onto almost all vehicles recently. And why I've been customizing every package per the job and contemplating just using customized services without packaged offerings. Why do we all use packaged services if we all...

I do take into account the vehicle condition. I always go over with the customer the condition. I fill out a form I made that has a "level of soiling" section for interior and a "level of contamination" for the exterior. Most jobs the customer doesn't have a clue what package they want so I help...

This is what I do exactly. All my prices are starting points, not set in stone. But because I rarely do a vehicle that qualifies for the starting price, I am wondering what the point of set packages is.

I've tried a ton of tar removers, thought tar x worked best. Have not tried goof off though. Thank you greatly. I'm not having any real problems with people not understanding the extra charge. I actually raised my prices from last year, it actually got me more business, a ton more. And the...

So this year I've been burned several times from things like large amounts of tar, iron deposits, extremely dirty rims etc. There is construction on every road just about in my town recently and almost every car has loads of tar the whole way up the vehicle, covering tailgates. At first I...

Dont forget that since your gf was helping, there was more than 6.5 man hours involved. If she helped you for 3 hours, that's really 9.5 man hours. That will make a difference when you need to do a job alone and need to charge accordingly

Black hole followed with 845 last a long time. Also optimum car wax, the spray stuff, can be used as a clay lube that leaves behind protection and fills light marring. Tried this for the first time last week on a black truck just on a test spot. Very surprised how much it filled in!

I poured like a 4 pound sugar bag into bucket then kept adding water until it was like a thick syrup. Then I allied to concrete and the concrete melted away. Don't know exact dilution

Sugar water. Sounds goofy but i swear it works. Another geeker gave me that tip and I made alot of money from it

Different compound makes sense. That's what I did, Cleaned and dressed. Looked a ton better but was very frustrating. I think only a small percentage of people would notice the brown after dressed.

Blooming cleans off though. This was not blooming. The blooming cleaned off at the outer margin of the tire easily

I did a 2015 ford explorer interceptor recently. Tires were very brown. I sprayed tuf shine tire cleaner, let it dwell, scrubbed, rinsed about 3 times. Tried again with purple power twice. Got a ton of gunk off but tires still had a brown hue to them. They were clean to the touch though. Upon...

I've used on matte black rims, it's great on them.

Wow. on interiors I've used rubbing alcohol to clean latex paint spills with incredible results.

Great thread. I've been having this problem. Right now I'm booked until July 1st. Just Last week I had 2 cancel the morning of. Very frustrating. I haven't been taking any deposit but think I will start.

Cerium oxide, interface pad, and the carpro rayon glass pad. Rotary polisher. Spray bottle of water easily accessible and keep the glass very wet.

Yeah it lasts till the end of time. I put on my dinosaur a couple millenia ago and is still going strong

Anyone?

I also have hydro2, 476s, 915, and opti-seal

I have a job coming up for a black explorer. It is covered in water spots. On the estimate I cleaned a small spot with onr QD strength and most of the spots were cleaned but there is still spots. There is also a lot of wash induced scratching. I am wanting to try carpro spotless on it for a good...
