    So...back to the original question...anyone have any answers? I'll be filling my new IK sprayers w/ the previously mentioned products...guess I'll post here in a few months w/ updates.

    How fast can you wash an "average" size car?

    It takes me a minimum of 2 hours for the smallest of cars, and over 3 hour for larger trucks & SUVs, to complete a full 100% wash. It seems the last 5% takes the longest, and is the most labor intensive... You know, cleaning baked on bug guts off the plastic pieces around the grill, headlights...

    IK Foam 9 Sprayer, worth it?

    knock on wood, but, I've had WB in the Amazon sprayers for probably 6 months, and they still work fine.

    IK Foam 9 Sprayer, worth it?

    Another question: Are IK sprayers (1.5 multi, 1.5 foam & Foam 9) chemical resistant? In other words, can I fill up an IK Foam 9 with Meguiar's Wheel Brightener 1:1, and leave it in there for weeks/months? Or must I empty the sprayer out after every use?

    IK Foam 9 Sprayer, worth it?

    Thanks for the detailed review! I should clarify, I'm not trying to decide between an IK 1.5 & the much larger Foam 9...but instead trying to decide if I should bite the bullet and replace my current pump sprayers w/ an IK line up. I'd likely buy 3 or 4 IK 1.5 Multi's, and 1 IK Foam 9. Another...

    IK Foam 9 Sprayer, worth it?

    I've been interested in a few of the IK sprayers for quite some time now. One thing I quickly learned when I branched out into for-profit detailing is: a good spray bottle is worth its weight in gold. I can't stand leaky caps, poor spray performance, and failures in the middle of a job. I...

    Critique my setup

    To start off, I'm more of an enthusiast who recently decided to go for-profit. Granted, this will be a side hustle as I have a steady day job. I kinda went a little over board, picked up quite a few products to test them out and see what I liked, what worked and what didn't. Not shown in the...

    pad selection for forced DA regarding product absorbtion and forced rotation

    Mike, I've always had good luck with Lake Country pads...I've only used LC Hydro tech and LC Force Hybrids (with the hole in the center) with my Flex 3401. Would you recommend the LC Force Hybrids or just the LC Flat pads for use with the 3401? For the Flex 3401, would you

    Looking for product for tires wheel wells and undercarriage

    I know CG products get a bad rap around here, but one product of theirs that seems to work well is CG Barebones. I have a Ram 3500, and if I don't dress the wheel wells during a detail, it looks like crap. I've always used Barebones, it seems to last a while and smells really good, but it will...

    Badges, Emblems, and Decals

    I guess the point I was trying to get at, is achieving that 100% detailed look. Take the truck pictured below, but imagine the paint is black. The client just wants a one-step polish, even though his black Silverado looks like it's seen way too many automatic car washes. Even using just a high...

    Diluting chemicals

    Should have clarified, my post wasn't directed at you, just felt like typing it out for the general forum population. I personally use Optimum Power Clean. I buy it by the gallon. I dilute it 3:1 to clean wheels (prior to trying Meg's Wheel Brightener), 3:1 also makes for a great bug-removal...

    Diluting chemicals

    While most people who've completed a High School math class know, I figured I'd quickly explain how to calculate the amount for diluting a product by ratio, just incase you don't have your handy ratio print out nearby. Yeah, I'm bored and had a few IPAs, who knows, there might be someone out...

    Badges, Emblems, and Decals

    I apologize if this has been addressed before, I’m sure it has but I couldn’t find much on the topic. Many newer vehicles are plastered with manufacturer badging/emblems and decals. How do you deal with these during a one step detail? I specifically mention a one step because on a high-end...
