You should start a new thread with the new date. I'm putting it in my Google calendar right now!!

Lacquer thinner should remove it fairly easily. A light polish after then you'll be able to assess any additional damage from there.

I used a denture brush for years to clean on the fly.

Lol... Hi Bob. You still have me pulling out my dictionary.

Get it while it's still wet. Dishwashing liquid should clean it up. Apply, scrub, shop vac or rinse and blot. Repeat if necessary.

Just passing through, forcing myself to take a little Dave time. Good to see you too S.A. (Mike?)!!

Over the years, I realized that I could only reduce my prices once I increased my efficacy. That takes a lot completed jobs, thinking outside of the box in terms of ability and profitability while doing each job. In other words, what is the reality of each situation? How discerning is the eye of...

The better we get at this, the easier it is to please a client with no eye for the fine defects.

Yes sir. Good to hear from you too indeed. Enjoy your trip to Carlisle. The boys are doing great!!! Hope all is well with you and your daughter too!!

I have to add, through the hardships of striving to run a profitable business, the AGO OCD bug that I was once infected with has long ago been smashed. I speak in terms of non obsessive profitability.

$100 per hour. One hour minimum. Not all defects can be removed safely but they'll likely be a lot less noticeable. One hour minimum means if it takes 1.5 hours, the price rounds up to the next one hour period. I'd likely be able to squeeze a quick one step in, in addition to a few spot repairs...

Oh my... I remember getting the winning ticket for this setup. I remember all the hype leading up to the release date too. Then the first time I tried them... In the can they went...

Last I purchased pads these were what I was buying. Seems now they're no longer available. Anyone know why they are no longer available? What a disappointment... I've perfected my correction techniques using these pads.. What are people recommending now to work on 5" backing plates for DA...

I miss you too Don. Hopefully you guys can swing by for a quick visit again this year while you're in town for the car show... Perhaps dinner or something.?.. As for Monica and Dave's Detail day...I'm still in. Really want to see Eric get his Audi in the driveway this year!!!

I'm planning on making it but I'll have my little man with me. I'll have his cage for some doggy time outs. Bringing an open mind and some basic paint correction knowledge... I'll bring rotary and wool just in case anyone wants to give it a whirl.

I got most of my quality repeat business from the piece rate auto mechanics that I called on, stopped and introduced myself to. Mainly the smaller mechanic shops rather than large dealerships. These guys often paid cash for my detailing services. Once I did a few cars for one of them, the word...

I really want to make it this year!! I'm putting it in my calendar now!! I'll probably be bringing a hitchhiker as usual... Don't think you met this little man yet... Choeko (CHO-KO) is my latest sidekick. Cute as a button and in his own way, he's quite the performer. He's no Dirty Boy but...

I want to find Dawn dish soap in the 5 gallon buckets for washing these cruddy buses and vans when they come into my shop. Combined with a prespray of Zep Purple Industrial degreaser, nothing works better. For the cars and mini vans I still detail from time to time I keep a gallon of Duragloss...

In recovery from addiction, they say the relapse occurs long before the drink / drug is picked up... I'm glad to see your post and to hear of your success and all but.... Could this post of yours be the beginning stages of a detailing relapse???... Hum???... JK. Keep up the great work!!!
