    Need advice! New found problems in freshly corrected black paint, strange lines or cracking.

    I call this concept THE WALDO EFFECT: When you look for Waldo on a page full of distractions you might take a long time to find him. If you removed everything from that page but Waldo he would stand out like a sore thumb. This is further exacerbated by the fact that the clean surface of both the...

    Paint Correcting Temperature

    A few Halogen lights will warm it up, just not quickly. Friction will warm things up pretty quick in terms of the polishing. A blow dryer on the panel for a few seconds beforehand will help.

    Any Dealership Service People Here.

    At this point it is probably more for their engineers to find the source of the problem to work out the bugs for the next model year. In the meantime, insist on a comparable loaner each time you have to leave your vehicle and ask for some concessions every time you are inconvenienced.

    What's going on in this picture?

    As stated, it has been repainted at some point. A respray is the only fix. Since it is only on the top and covered by the hood when closed I would recommend just letting it be unless it really bothers you or starts to flake off.

    Trim Restorer Showdown - Round 2 (Long and Pic heavy)

    All indications are that Carmor is no longer. In terms of price, $250 for 32 oz. is a great deal when you consider just one ounce of comparable products cost around $40. It's a shame they never got any momentum because it was a great product.

    Can I wax my windows? Any cleaner waxes that don't stain black trim?

    Sealants can be used on glass without a problem but there are better options. I use Optimum Opti-Glass Clean and Protect on the windshield of most cars I detail. Super easy to use and good performance. I offer Opti-Glass coating as an upgrade but it is much more work to prep and apply. No...

    Mytee extractor = Highly disappointed.

    Thanks for your response to this, Mike. I just received the email notification that new comments have been added to the thread...only 10 days later. Not sure why, but no worries. The unit was not purchased through AutoGeek. (I have always received excellent customer service from PBMG in...

    Mytee extractor = Highly disappointed.

    I purchased a Mytee S-300 for mobile work. When it arrived the cap on the capture tank was in pieces. It was immediately replaced by the distributor. On the first use of the machine for a job, after about 5 minutes of use, the hose began to come apart. I cut off the separated section and...

    Anyone have a dead Makita 9227?

    I recently bought a Makita 9227 from another detailer via facebook to have as a second for $115 shipped. When I got it, it had a rattling noise. Opened it up to find some of the teeth from the bevel gear broken. Cost to replace will be roughly $70 to replace it (I don't have the tools to deal...

    Tips and advice for an event.

    I think you might have a hard time getting people to spend the full amount on the spot and therefore might miss opportunity. Perhaps requiring a deposit to get the discount price would be less commitment for them. Limit the time discount is good for and offer to credit that amount to toward...

    ONR & Road Salt

    Probably Magnesium Chloride. Still a salt and still the same principle.

    ONR & Road Salt

    For those in places where the temps remain below freezing or those who live in apartments without access to water and facilities a standard wash isn't always an option. I'm not trying to convince anyone to change their methods but to reassure those who question the safety that it can be done...

    Mobile customers at Golf Courses

    By partnering with the club the trust issue should be less of an issue. I can see Florida and vacation resorts being an issue. I have several customers who live in country club communities and many schedule a detail and head off to the course for the day. Just gotta know your market.

    ONR & Road Salt

    I already know the results. I have done it many times. The question comes up often and, with the recent weather, this is the perfect time to help educate people on the benefits and capabilities of rinseless washes. When used properly ONR and other rinseless washes are as safe or safer than...

    Mobile customers at Golf Courses

    It is a perfect place to find new customers who likely have nicer cars and disposable income. Plus the timing couldn't be more perfect if they have a busy schedule.

    ONR & Road Salt

    With all the snow recently it is inevitable there will be many questions about whether it is safe to do a rinseless (ONR) wash when a car is covered in salt. The salt was not dry granules when it became attached to the surface of the vehicle. It was dissolved in water. By simply wetting the car...
