    Debating Property Purchase Options

    Appreciate the feedback guys. A lot of excellent points were made regarding the finer details that I didn't necessarily bring up. For that, thank you! The property does have a second, but dilapidated 3 car garage behind the main standing and newer building. Ideally I would love to secure the...

    Debating Property Purchase Options

    Hey all, So in my hometown here in Ohio, an interesting lot has recently been put up for sale, including a sizeable building that seems to be ideally set up for automotive work, and appears to be easily manipulated for any detail work I could hope to get into. Typically I would not be eager to...

    Meg APC and ACP+

    I believe APC+ foams a little less than regular APC as to use in Carpet Extractor type tools as well. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I537 using AG Online

    Meg's Glass cleaner D120, stains microfiber?

    I use D120 regularly and have never really noticed excessive staining on microfibers. I don't know if I'd say your solution looks "too blue", although I have the dedicated Meguiar's spray bottle for mine which has a kind of haze to the clarity of the bottle. You say you mixed the solution at a...

    Need Inspiration: Saying goodbye to a corporate job

    Understand your frustration Vas. It was so similar in mine. Management told me to stay on board, and they would put me in a full time position with benefits, etc., instead they hired the other guy, and my sales went directly into his bonuses. After that I writ the entire situation off as a joke...

    Need Inspiration: Saying goodbye to a corporate job

    I fall into this similar group that many of you seem to be. I was mentally disgusted with dealing with a boss. One who was never there to see the long hours I put in for our customers and the company. After x-amount of years I had the nerves to approach them and say that I wanted a shot at full...

    Dodge Ram Power Plant Mess - Opinions?

    Hey guys, So one of my good body shop connections brought this project to my attention this week and wanted to see what could be done. It is a Dodge RAM 1500, POLLUTED with some type of industrial fallout from a nearby coal power plant. I have no idea what this person drives through, or in...

    What is the best smelling auto detail product that you have used?

    So many wonderful smelling products! When I tried the Ammo line I really liked the smell of every product, even the Plum wheel cleaner smelled great! Current addiction is Meguiar's Express Wash & Wax Concentrate. Fruity smell, def attracted the bee's around the shop this summer though!

    Need to vent a little

    I have gotten a few calls, and a few actual clients from my bodyshop connection this year. I'm very patient with it and trust in their reputation. IMO bodyshops are a good place to talk with, virtually anything automotive related really...the people that want it done will come to you in due...

    Need to vent a little

    Wouldn't get discouraged, easier said than done sometimes I'm sure... I've had cars come to our shop that I wouldn't have bothered to want detailed if I was the owner - but hey, it made me quickly learn the need to address each car / client individually. Not every soccer Mom van will want, or...

    Big FU to Black SUV's.....Ford Expedition EL

    Looking good! What a trainwreck to start with! Lol I'm not a fan of large SUV's and trucks either for my lack of height. Sometimes it takes all I have to get the roof washed and clayed. Knocked out an all black Cadillac Escalade ESV yesterday and have an H2 on the books this week so I feel...

    anyone using just meguiars products?

    90%...looking to basically go all the way in the future when the stashes run low. I think it's great to experiment and search for your favorite products, but in our line of work / play the options can get overwhelming quickly. I know and trust the results I get from their products and know my...

    mobile vs home shop

    Since I've started this gig full-time I'm a shop guy. I love it and wouldn't have it any other way, it's nice to be at home if you need something or just to even eat lunch in peace. A lot of my customers like to leave a vehicle overnight, so it's nice to work late inside if I choose, etc. I do...
