I am a CPA and use QuickBooks constantly. Most of my clients with businesses use QuickBooks. It is a good program and there are a lot of people that know the software that can help you. I do not like QuickBooks online because it lacks a lot of features. QuickBooks comes out with a new...

When I pull my wakeboard boat out of the water, I throw a few towels to my buddies and some QD to wipe down the outside of the boat and the trailer. What microfiber towel can you recommend that (1) is large enough to absorb a lot of water and (2) also used as a QD buffing towel. I have been...

I am looking for tips on how to clean my boat cover (sunbrella fabric). The pic below is not mine, but you get the idea. With the boat sitting all winter in a covered storage tent, there is a lot of dust and dirt that accumulates on the cover. Should I clean the cover on the boat? Remove it...

I am getting ready to detail my boat for the summer (see pic below). Durability and water-spot prevention is key. I welcome suggestions on what products and tips you have for my boat. Because it takes a long time to detail a boat, I am looking for a 1 or 2 step process for the gel coat. Here...

No show car finish needed here. I need suggestions on improving how I care for my Jeep Wrangler. This vehcile is wheeled offroad. Mud, dirt, water, etc are common. I am not looking for a show car finish. I am looking for easy clean-up tips and products that will make it easier to remove dirt...

Are you using this sponge for washing the car or other detail uses?

I actually do have an Ipod in route for my son. Just checked the tracking, still on schedule for deliver today.

Please do, that would be helpful. Even if it is not the entire car, at least a few panels from start to finish.

Unfortunately yes. That was part of the 41% your accountant told you to expect. Now you start to understand why some politicians say "small businesses are being crushed."

First, you are overlooking the words "about". I saw no reason to get too technical. Second, you are forgetting that the "employer" 1/2 of the taxes is a deduction. A self-employed person also gets this deduction. Look at line 27 on your 1040. The effect of the deduction brings the effective...

I am new to detailing, so wondering why 3 different products to clean the wheels and tires v one APC?

An LLC is a flow-through entity. You still report the income and pay the tax on your own personal tax return. I detailed out earlier how you arrive at the 41%, depending on your income level. The only reason to form an LLC for a detailing business is legal liability protection if you have...

First, never tell your CPA about cash income and then tell him/her you don't want to report it. Once it hits your CPAs desk, it is going in your tax return. You pay tax on the NET, not the GROSS. So AG is a good tax write-off!!! As a detailing business, you can deduct all you supplies, auto...

I have a Griots 6" DA using 6.5" pads. I want a smaller size for the harder to reach areas on the car. Should I get a 3" backing plate or 4"? How hard is it to hold the machine flat with such a small pad if I go with 3"

Does it? WG Deep Gloss Paint Sealant says to allow 12 hours curing time. The zaino agent (zfx) is not required unless you want to top immediately. I am a happy zaino user for several years. The "system" is no different and just as easy as any other. I am switching to Wolfgang just to try...

All I get is an commercial

Nice to see members doing this. Thanks.

Bump for more input. Pinnacle is on sale today. If there is not realy difference I will go with Pinnacle. However. If there is a difference and Wolfgang is better, I will go with it.

I used Pinnacle APC diluted 5:1. Followed by a damp mf to clean off any excess cleaner. Waited about 15 minutes for the surface to completely dry. Did not try a second application. I will and report back. I do like a matt finish. It is just that with the cream applied, the surface went from...
