Wouldn't the sealant not bond as well as an AIO topper due to the layer of wax or sealant already left behind from the AIO? I believe that is why some are suggesting a spray wax as it will just boost whats already there. Although I'm thinking you might as well wait till the first maintenance...

This is such a fantastic thread with great points from Mike and others! My first year detailing for money I was correcting and doing 2-steps on every vehicle. Spent 8-10 hours on vehicles that didn't need that. I have since started using AIO's for my basic package and it is working out GREAT...

Love both of those products! I use ecosmart a lot and it's my go to for door jams. I'm still a sucker for the hose though so trying to find a way to wash with a hose still.

Right, but I'm asking this in regards to a package where the customer is not paying for paint correction. If they want to opt for paint correction the price reflects the time it takes to do that and I will then use a dedicated polish etc... I started off doing a bunch of paint correction jobs...

So for my detail package without any paint correction I'm going back and forth between these 2 options: 1. AIO like auto finesse triple or pinnacle xmt360 2. Rejuvenator/paint cleaner like auto finesse or lusso oro revitalizing creme, followed by a dedicated wax or sealant I just feel that if...

Yeah those are the systems that get into that price range I did not want to go into. The cheapest one is around $300 and says it produces 150 gallons. That still seems like a lot of filter replacements if your doing a 2-bucket wash each time and using 10+gallons. I think you're right though...

Yeah I tried adding a bit of ONR to my wash buckets but didn't help much. I will use onr for rinse less washes though if I go that route. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Confirmed. Towels are trashed. I just got in a 10 pack of the green 600gsm (uber no name or the ones on MFtech) and compared to my old ones after a 24 hour APC soak and microfiber wash with white vinegar. NIGHT AND DAY difference. I just tried a quick wipe down on my bike with Meg's last touch...

I haven't had this happen with towels, but it did happen the first time I ever washed a foam DA pad. I did not let them dry sufficiently and they went back into the bin with the lid on. Learned from that one right away! Agreed. I would suggest about 15-20 black short nap towels for dirty jobs...

What's your favorite use for the gold plush? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I like the approach of using rinseless and a presoak with waterless to add extra lubricity. I may have to try that. I've foamed a few cars with this hard water and that is proving to be pretty bad. Even though the foam is super slick and adds lubricity it will already spot by the time I get to...

Yeah I'm intrigued by the filter for sure. What detail spray are you using as a drying aid? I've been experimenting with V7, Sonax Brilliant Shine Detailer, and a few Megs detail sprays all as drying aids but haven't really noticed a difference in drying capabilities. I do like the gloss of V7 a...

I have a family member offered their old water softener to me if I was interested. I'm assuming that only affects water inside the house and not outdoor hose spigots though right? If going the rinseless wash route how does that affect your wheel cleaning process then? I suppose you could still...

Yes, drying has become a PAIN now too. Water just gets swirled around and I have definitely put some minor surface scratches in my paint from this. Are you guys using hot water from an indoor tap then? Garry Dean method? I'm tempted to switch...but I love being able to foam a car and just...

This is a great thread and I can relate to everyone who's posted already. Towels are definitely an obsession! I have 10 storage bins full of towels yet am going to completely revamp my stock b/c I've figured out what I need and what I don't need. This is what I've come up with as far as...

So I moved into my first house this summer after 8 years of the apartment life. Im the MAN As soon as I started doing washes in my own driveway (woot) I noticed I was getting water spots like crazy. Talked to the neighbors and turns out our city water in this neighborhood is pretty bad. I tried...

I actually have all that and do that while sheeting 😁 My towels literally take a tiny drop and spread it around rather than pick up...we will see how the new wash technique works Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah I've noticed how much easier towels glide over sealed or waxed paint. I use uww+ for waterless washes occasionally but call me old fashioned still like the hose 😄 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So I just had a realization today...and a possible answer to why all of my microfiber towels have been working horribly lately...in cleaning out my washer and dryer I found this glued to the inside of the dryer: It went here: Looks like some type of permanent fabric softener thing. I noticed...

Awesome info. When air drying do you hang them inside or outside? I hung them up inside and it took 2 days to try and they obviously weren't fluffed. Also do you put the vinegar right in with the detergent or in a downy ball for example? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
