No issues there. The riccardo claybar is a very high quality clay. I dont use it cause its expensive to obtain. The mothers wash would provide a sudsy lubrication. As long as he had already washed it first there shouldnt be any issues. Its usually a good thing not to use soapy water with clay...

Wow! Ive never gotten such kudos before from a post. Thanks guys!

Compounding always takes longer than a polish. Compounding is done to eliminate as much defects as possible via the transfer of heat & friction so a slower pace around the vehicle is definitely more beneficial to achieve maximum correction. Polishing (in a 3 step process) basically just cleans...

It's hard to say how long it could take you without fully knowing much details about the current condition of the paint. Is it heavily swirled, badly oxidized... what color too? If its been sitting outside neglected for a good bit of time you may need to hand glaze it too. This will re-nourish...

You can use a regular microfiber for cleaning the interiors without any issues. I have a large assortment of microfibers on hand and have 4 or 5 different colors. I use a different color for different things; wax, polish, interior, carpets, tires. Any microfiber will do but you just dont want to...

I currently have the Vac n blo and am looking to replace it with another vac. The blower feature does work really well for the interiors when you need to blow off the extremely dirty carpets or nooks and crannies. However, on the outside a blower would be better. Its a pain to have to handle the...

I agree! Ive always struggled to get the cleaning solution out of my pads in a timely fashion and recently thought of doing the same thing. Why spend several more minutes trying to get cleaning solution out of the pad when the washing machine cycle can do that for multiple pads at a time. At...

landscapers and contractor vehicles are the worst interiors to do. I just completed a job on a Dodge Ram last week that took me 2 hours to do just the cab! The previous owner was a cabinet installer I think and I spent the first 30-40 minutes using a 240mph blower to blow out as much sawdust and...

Ive always had a decent force of steam output come from my MC1275. I always waited until it was at a rolling boil before I started work with it though. Carpets & upholstery have never been a problem for me using it and Ive blasted away gum, 4 month old chocolate milkshakes, ground in road tar...

I think I would have pulled up near the Bentley, park my car with my detailing business lettering visible, then pull out a premixed solution of ONR in a spray bottle and proceed to wash a panel of my car. I would then hold up the dirty rag for him to see and then walk over to get his business...

I can give my own testimony to the grit grade of the magic eraser bars. Ive used them for a while now and also have used 4000 grit and 3000 as well as 3500 grit. The bars have a tad bit more cut than 4000 grit but don't haze up as much as the 3000 or the 3500. They correct like the 3500 but...

magic eraser bars! They're the equivalent of 3600-3800 grit so they'll do quick work of all those key scratches under there if the m105 doesn't provide enough umph for you.

Good turnaround. I see things worse than that on a regular basis. I spent about 2 hr 15 min on a dodge ram pickup yesterday & that time was only on the interior. I started out by using a 250 mph blower on the cab for about 30min! Guy ended up tipping me $40 as that was how he had bought the...

Wow... after seeing him spray a decent amount of water into the trunk I'm surprised he didn't say something like, "if you do end up saturating your carpets just close all your doors and park your car outside in direct sunlight to heat up the interior". Wow... someone needs to introduce this guy...

I too thought 100 was still safe to do whatever with. I was under the impression that once you start getting a reading of 80 or less then thats where you have to start worrying about pulling out the rotary or not. Take a reading from the door jams or some other area which never gets polished and...

My entry level polish package goes for $180 per sedan- or should I say that that is the starting price for a quick 45-60 min polish job with all the other full detail services. Additional polishing time requires more money. Depending on the condition of the vehicles, if I have 3 cars from the...

plus one for the McCulloch. I used 1 for an entire year while operating my mobile detailing business and then it quit working on me. The house got runover a couple times and also the unit got flipped too several times all in the same month. Once it got battered a little, I guess I got a little...

Ive heard good things about both of these when used as an AIO. Im looking to get them while they are on the bogo, but now that the vip sale is for Poorboys too I may just go ahead and get a big bottle while I can. Im looking at getting a bottle to use for commercial use and not just on my...

The majority of my clients all have their water spickets behind bushes. The few times Ive been caught in that situation when the clients were gone and I couldnt wait long enough to go to a gas station I just grabbed a spray bottle and pretended I was filling that up at the spicket. For what I...

I'll let you know here shortly. I bought a Griots 6in around Christmas time and its already fried on me. Every time it comes on now it has this weird electrical burn smell to it and sounds like a weed eater powering up and down when in use. Has less than 30 hrs of use on it.
