I'd go up to 1:2 on the LA Totally Awesome without worries. I've done it on more than a few cars (I own a used car lot). The guy that showed me probably used it on a few thousand without worries. Best of luck.

Wash N Wax Upholstery Shampoo (Non-Foaming) Odor Eliminator (Liquid not aerosol) LVP Cleaner All by the gallon! And maybe a sample bottle of Ultra Glaze for me to try out (If you have enough left over in your paycheck!)

Thanks for the quick response. That pic was after I did quite a bit of buffing. I hit the same test section pretty hard with a rotary, wool pad, and HD Cut right after taking that picture. I then polished with a DA, LC white pad, and HD Polish on the same test section. While I improved the...

We just had painter do a base/clear paint job on an Infinity Q45. He scuffed and painted over the original paint. He said he put 3 or 4 good coats of clear over top.He wet sanded, buffed and polished it. He didn't do such a good job finishing it. There are tons of scratches, swirl marks, and a...

I'm slowly improving my odor removal skills. If we get a really stinky/smoked in car, I use the 3D Odor Remover (the product you put in a spray bottle) before anything else. After cleaning the car (APC, Tornador, and sometimes hot water extraction), I respray with the 3D and then use a Dakota...

I had a friend growing up who had a detailing contract with the post office vehicles. He only washed them when it rained hard. I now have a car lot with up to 30 cars at any one time. If it is going to rain hard and for a while, I'm going to wash them all. Customers don't shop too much in the...

I look forward to the writeup! Thanks everyone for the responses.

I am a part owner of a used car lot. Four months into it, I'm still learning the ins and outs of proper detailing. Right now we have an 87 Wrangler that the soft top has seen better days. I'm good to go with the fabric cleaning and weather treating. How I can recover the faded and scratched...

My method is not safe but it is quick. I spray degreaser and then use the pressure washer. We get several vehicles in a week and some are very, very dirty. I spray degreaser on the engine, tires, inside door jams, the edges of the trunk, and around the gas tank cap. Then I close the doors and...

I use lacquer thinner and a microfiber towel. I put quite a bit on the towel and lightly go over the sap, adding lots of thinner to the towel as it dries out. The sap melts away. I usually remove the sap right before an aggressive wash. I've done a this with a few dozen vehicles so far and...
