There's no "win" here man, just paying forward knowledge and help like everyone else. Take it or leave it. There's no one way or best way either, only our own way. Hard to tell on forums how anyone takes the replies but no offense is ever intended. Thanks for the conversation.

Again, it's about protecting both parties and being detail-oriented. It starts with the paperwork and processes. If they just want a car wash, then go to a car wash. There's a reason why people pay more elsewhere. Not a game, just trying to meet expectations with clarity and have details...

My approach is I always explain what I'm doing and why. Part of my process is I do TWO inspections. One at the point of drop off and the condition it's in but the other is AFTER I'm done with my initial wash and prep for the polisher. That is when I tend to find things and again, in my...

Define negligence. What specifically are you trying to use as damage in your statement? Forms and agreements and full T's & C's are very enforceable. Most all businesses have them as part of their work order.

Not sure how any of the above matters. If it's a shop or a house or a 2nd job/hobby or a full-time gig, the point is customers appreciate thorough, secure processes regardless of where you go or what you're service is. There's nothing wrong with being thorough. Have a full inspection form...

Never seen or looked into the Weathertech Offering. IMO just get some PPF and learn. Key is the activation and to heat and stretch it.

Customers appreciate the fact that pics and video are involved. I don't do it just to cover me but also to show them that the "details" start from the moment they meet me. Solid Terms and Conditions are also a must.

You can do it Don. I'll message you from Facebook or you're welcome to call my cell. I may be up in the area soon and would be happy to help too. I'll keep you posted. Honestly, one of the best "kits" is the CERAKOTE Ceramic Headlight Restoration Kit. You can get them at Wally World...

You don't need to remove it. There's lots of debate, and everyone has an opinion, but I've been working with PPF for over 25 years and doing ceramic coatings for a long while too. No need to "remove them" The activator and adhesive on most films will bond just fine. Ceramic actually...

We should connect. I'm in Dublin.

I don't have a shop, I'm just a weekend warrior with good base of friends. They sell cheaper than list, not low cost, but the flex is one of the best. It is a great unit. Can be had for about $1,200 Their Enzyme product is excellent. I have the gallon size. It's pH neutral, which...

Yes. Sandia 6 Gallon. They private label their products. Our local distributor is a repair center too so they rebuild, customize and carry all the parts, etc. Beautifully simplistic design under the hood and super rugged.

I only use the Flex Dust Extractor on dry materials. It can be used for wet, but it's rare that I will use the Velocity Vac on wet anymore as I also have a true dedicated hot water extractor. If/when I used the Velocity Vac with moisture, I use my smaller portable Ridgid 3 gallon. The Hepa...

That's what I have. Amazing unit. All you hear is the vacuum of the air. The motor is so quiet. So strong it has a knob to dial-down the power too. It's a little over-kill but hey, Chris is a buddy and fellow Buckeye and I like supporting him.

I use 3D Bead it Up after each wash. Season long car/refresh details of a car that I've ceramic coated, I use CanCoat, the new EVO now, of course. Reload, etc. are nothing more than glorified detail sprays like Bead it Up. I never saw them lasting long at all.

You'll enjoy the Tornador tool(s). I have a set for several years and use them quite a bit. Get a good N95 mask and safety glasses, though. I would also highly suggest an HEPA-grade dust extractor/vacuum as the tool will pull out all kinds of nasty microbes, etc. from what you're cleaning...

Not shocking. When 2020 went down and the shenanigans in GA and AZ back then came up it was clear that the mail BS and and drop box crap has totally corrupted the process. The only way it's going to be fixed is to go to in-person only except for military deployed and the tightening up of...

1 layer of UK 3.0 and top with a layer of SiC for it's added protection and slick feel. Then simply top annually with CanCoat EVO and you're golden for years to come.

All dealers do is sell a product that is simply a profit area within the F&I office underwritten by a 3rd party "warranty" Typically, they are not much of any type of real protection. Simonize, Jax Wax, and several others cater to that market with a Meh level quality product at best...

This week I had the opportunity to help out two owners with their daily drivers. The first of two trucks I helped with this week, belongs to a friend and neighbor for whom I did a ceramic coating on the wheels shown on the beauty a few weeks prior. The Sexy Porsche is a new-to-his-family 2016...
