    HD Adapt

    Just a heads up, they canceled production of HD Adapt. Not that you still cant't find it, but if you're going to use it, stock up. FG400 is usually paired with SF3500. HD Adapt is usually paired with HD Poxy. CG stuff isn't the greatest, and their customer service is beyond atrocious, so I...

    Have you ever taken a customers vehicle to the "car wash"?

    Be upfront and honest with her. "I don't mind doing your vehicles, at 'X' price, but if you continually bring me this vehicle in a trashed condition, it's going to be 'Y' price instead of 'X'". It's really that simple. Either she understands, and accepts the price hike, or she doesn't and you...

    Detailing checklist.

    I've found myself using the iPad more and more with stuff like this. Checklists for certain things. There's an app called Wunderlist that has been WUNDERFUL (HA) to use. I don't use it for every detail, as I use it more for business needs, but you could give it a shot and see what you think...

    Microfiber Pads?

    There will be a "C" before the code. For instance, "C650" or "C033" on the VIN plate typically in the door area of the drivers door. Google "Mercedes C650 paint" and you'll see the VIN plate.

    Having trouble polishing out swirl marks - Griots Garage 3 Inch Orbital Polisher + Menzerna Heavy Cut Compound 1000

    The power behind the 3" GG may not be enough to remove the swirls. It's a rather lacking machine for correcting.

    LSN Autodetailing - 2007 Merc E350 w/ Rock-chip repairl

    Before I even opened this thread, I was curious if this paint was "C" code. Sure enough it is, but using HDSpeed answered my next question ^_^ Glad I opened the thread. Beautiful work here!

    Need some website advice

    Easier to drop your prices if you're too high, than go back and raise them. However, as GSKR stated, do it now, or don't do it. Pick a demographic, and adjust your prices accordingly. Also, your prices should be a direct reflection of your abilities.

    Need some website advice

    The site is well put together. Informative. The top banner on the main page clashes a bit with the blue Tacoma, but that's just my opinion. What's your take on pet hair? I didn't see it on the site, and I know that I can't stand it personally. I upcharge significantly for it, and if it's bad...

    Which polisher to buy?

    Let's be honest, who's going to see me working with it anyway? My wife? Big whoop.. My tools/product go back into the storage shed once I'm done anyway, so the client won't see that I'm polishing with pink flex XD XD

    Flex XCE (replacement for the 3401)

    3401 all day. Absolutely love this thing, and the pink one for like $40-50 off was the kicker for me. Idc what color it is lol.

    White pad or New compound

    You could do HDSpeed on an orange pad or white pad. I'd start with the white and see what happens. If the white doesn't cut well enough jump up to an orange pad. Of course, this is assuming you have this stuff on hand.

    Getting part time up and running again!

    I wish more people knew this lol. They'll ALWAYS want steak at burger prices. Excellent advice. My $.02, if you care to consider it, is to build your part-time work around a certain demographic. Don't just take each, and every, job that comes your way. You'll burn out quickly, get frustrated...

    Luxcare 2016 GMC Sirerra

    Have you tried something as simple as hot water? If it has a coating on it, try that first to see if it rids the dirt. If not, try something like warm water and dish soap.

    How do I connect a foam gun to my Simoniz pressure washer?

    I apologize for not getting back to you sooner. Crazy week. I'll post up the picture of the product I purchased in the morning when I get home from work. It's a generic part, and will work as long as both the wand, and the foam gun, have a quick disconnect.
