I smell a market for microfiber dresses.

with wax, you're moving across the surface pretty fast so size isn't as much of an issue. but if you can't fit a 5.5" pad into your can of wax, then use something smaller.

Most, but not in the same market hopefully! Also if you question it, you question many on this forum. Still, I agree it's bcoming dangerously ubiquitous.

usplastic also sells bottles and the disc caps.

The website IS advertising. Include it in your advertising budget. Business cards are too--you'll want your customers to have those so they can pass them on (referrals). Promotional material you hand out at the car shows is advertising. I'd also consider professional photography to show your...

Here's a general tip for anyone if you need custom work like this done without too much fear of the person vanishing...check out Elance.com It's basically an internet freelance site. You simply post up your requirements and budget and see who bites. Then you choose based on their reputation...

if you elaborate, I will too..

I was doing a quickie post-winter wash and wax and did not clay. I did see some embedded who-knows-what and feel it in the paint. I wasn't ready to strip and do a full wax however so I didn't clay it yet.

if you pull the foam tip (lower long black piece) off, you can stick the little black piece on the end of the gun for fan spray.

I played around with a free sample of WGTSR and was sold on the product. It cleaned up paint that I couldn't get clean with optimum compound ii followed by poli-seal. The Wolfgang finished out practically LSP ready and left zero dust. Compound II on the other hand... it's like someone used a...

I think a control test would be a good idea. Get someone else with opti-seal experience (and experience with all the same products) to come and apply them to your car(s) and see if the results match what you do. If they get streaks, it could be the products. If they don't get streaks, it's...

So when you are done reading the forum, go to the upper right of the menu bar at the top of the page and click on "quick links" and select "Mark Forums Read". This gives you better control over what you have and haven't read and helps prevent you from missing stuff or reading it twice.

since you didn't provide links, I'd assume a book too. But then I quickly found this: Mike Phillips' The Art of Detailing Starter Kit, Polishing dvd, how to detail book which definitely has a book. and also this: Mike Phillips The Art of Detailing Audio Starter Kit which says "audio book"...

Fluorescent lights ARE somewhat temperature dependent. If it's cold enough in the garage, they may never come up to temp and not be as bright as you might want. They can warm up if they're in a reflector that traps hot air. In my basement, we have some BR-style reflector compact...

I didn't because I didn't have an empty bottle to mix it into handy. Mechanical means was fine since it's not a show car and just a dead pedal. The sad part of this story is that after all my hard exterior paint work, the guy wants to plasti-dip or vinyl wrap the car. Learning experience...

I have been wanting to try DuraGloss #901 wash concentrate and #271 rubber and flat black dressing. They seem like great bangs for the buck.

I would love to do a review of the Metro Vacuum Sidekick for the AG forum community! I've actually been contemplating buying one to use for a quick crevice drying when I was cars.

I just picked up a foamaster II and was curious how much soap you REALLY go through for a single car wash. For example, if you set the dial on "C" and go to town, will it drain it before you get the whole car foamed?

If your garage is detached, turn your garage into a semi-clean room. Get a ducted fan and an HVAC HEPA filter and blow air into the garage so it is under positive pressure with filtered air. Pollen wont get in. If your garage is attached, it'll just blow all the toxic fumes into the house.

you dont need a camera that costs more than $400. You can do it with a point and shoot like the Canon S110 or with a cheap DSLR and kit lens. The trick is learning HOW.
