more xlnt help thanks! I'm familiar with water amounts and bad locations, gonna do some covering. I like the saran wrap/baggie idea. Gotta compressor so I can blow a bit of sitting water if I need to. My biggest issue sounds like is getting the right collection of brushes and getting the...

hey wait a minute.... you've just clouded the issue with logic! of course it'll be a mofo to tape freshly dressed trim musta gotten a little carried away been a long...uh...just about everything I guess thanks everyone

Sure are a lot of vehicles out there with the plastic, rubber-ized, vinyl-ized, exterior cladding and tall rocker panels. I speak of types like the Chevy Avalanche and the mid-90's Jeep Cherokee. In your opinion would you prefer to (after a wash, clay, etc) dress the plastic, tape off then...

You folks kick-ass! Thanks for the info....

Gonna try to stay with one product at this point for wheels 'in general'. Probly gonna get a CG and another then see which is the more practical for me. Tks for particulars rider9195 Tks for all input!

Tks all! -robert8194 that Dupray unit is a pretty nice machine from what I just read. And the PERL is a spray/wipe on wipe off or just leave product? Gonna be making a purchase totaly related to engine/wheels detail quickly(brushes, cleaners, etc) so I appreciate ALL the efforts.

tks rider9195 - I'm guessing that delicate means chromed? and your favorite ded-safe cleaner is...?

Presently using Megs APC+, using a 10:1 for general cleaning and 3:1 for wheels/tires. At this point relatively happy with results. Is it going to be important to have a dedicated wheel cleaner (one for each type of wheel or just one heavy duty or general purpose wheel cleaner for all) or should...

Xlnt info so far, thank you. Got a gallon of Meg APC+ and simple green, no blower. Do have a compressor though...guh? Looks like I'd like to try some OPC and get a few more brushes. steve swafford - (Sonus trim and motor kote or detailers pro trim spray) are spray on wipe off? More fond of the...

I've seen the DP product engine compartment detail video but I was wondering what everyone's engine favorites are. As far as a brush, cleaner-degreaser, treatment, etc. what would be the three things that would be your "go to" products/tools for engine detailing. Appreciate the input.

Good point and I appreciate it. I'll probably see how the word of mouth goes as I don't want to advertise. In time I'll learn more. My skills are limited but can use my 'apprentice' knowledge to make a little money I thought. Have no intentions to represent myself as something I'm not as most...

After another 'inspired' talk with the city today it was clear that although they were frowning on the water deal, the simple fact of my property not being zoned for that kind of work is enough to not even worry about water issues. Would have been nice to know that awhile ago. So I took another...

tks darkangleism - Have seen that type of thing but don't really want to throw that kind of coin at this part-time project right now. Granted, if it looks like the only way I can go, I'll probly do something like that.

I wanted to start a part-time business. If you adverstise, they will find you. Not afraid to be legit and accountable. How hard could it be to get a business license anyway, right? They asked me how I was going to clean the water before I put it back into the storm drain. And ALL those toxic...

Was denied a business license yesterday due to my inability to prove I had oil/water seperator for water I use to wash cars.

I was curious about starting up a detail biz so today I went to my local city building and asked about creating an auto detail biz at my home. I'm the kind of guy that wants the proper license, I'll pay my taxes, I support local business. Although the local reference to zoning and such was from...

appreciate it Brandon, thanks!

That does help Brandon. Thank you. I re-played a tornador video and realized that the user was following the sprayer around with a MF cloth or using the air alone to dry the hard surfaces. Also using on a lot of dash switches, controls, and seems in parts that certainly held the liquid. Seems...

The steamers I'm hearing of people using, Biss Green Machine types, heating or not, inject liquids then vac immediately. That would make them usable on fabrics/carpets only I'd say. I'm looking at the Tornador and see that it delivers a fine agitating mist with or without chemicals or cleaners...
