So......winter is here.....and we are expecting stupid low temperatures within the next few days. I've never done a rinseless wash, but am thinking this is a technique I should become familiar and comfortable with. I've watched a bunch of YT videos on the process, and I have some questions...

So.....it has not gotten really cold where I am.....yet. I figured I'd start rounding up some supplies and getting them to the basement before it does. I got to thinking....is there any of this stuff (chemicals) I can leave in the garage all winter? My garage is insulated, and it does not get...

As the title says....I recently put Gyeon MOHS on my truck......first coating I've ever used. According to the instructions, I should not wash it for two weeks, which comes up this Saturday. As luck would have it, the temps are also supposed to rebound to near 60 degrees (from 19 Monday...

I figured with the insane cost of this product, that thread title might get some attention. But, seriously folks, I do have about a third of a gallon of Hyper Dressing that is free to anyone who'd like to pick it up....or meet up within 10 miles of my house. It is about a year old (I think)...

When do you guys retire microfiber towels...or transition them from paint work to lesser (wheels, etc) tasks? Is it based on them staining, maybe losing their softness, or just turn them over automatically over time?

I have a regular customer who stopped by the other day, and showed me where a milk shake had been spilled in the back of her car. It went into the speaker on the door, and is now caked in the speaker grille. I'd prefer not to push the remnants into the speaker itself, but I'm not sure how to...

Has anyone tried to put a drain in an existing garage floor? I've got plans to run both hot and cold water lines into my garage, and I'd like to be able to wash cars inside in cold weather. I was not smart enough to have it done when we built the house, so I'm looking to see if anyone has...

So....I keep reading about these DI water systems and how expensive the media is to replace, not to mention the cost of the units themselves. I've seen guys use the newer IK foamers, the ones you pressurize with a compressor, to foam a vehicle instead of using a pressure washer/foam...

So...it finally got warm enough to wash my wife's Yukon. After a couple (minor) snow events, it was nice to get the salt and junk off it. It has those 22-inch chrome wheels, which I knew were going to be a bugger to maintain. I used up the remainder of my McKees wheel coating (old formula) on...

Gonna finally get to wash my truck next week.....and was looking for a good pre-wash. I know some people are gonna say that it's not necessary, or that it's not that effective, but I plan on doing it anyway. I saw a video for this stuff, and was wondering if anyone here used it, and if so, how...

So....been looking for a way to freshen up these cloth fender liners that so many cars/trucks come with these days. I was watching a video where a detailer was using an aerosol dye to bring some pretty stained carpets back to life.....and I got to thinking....I wonder if that could be used on...

I saw a post on a FB detailing group, where the poster said that he did a ceramic coating on single stage paint. Is this something you can/should do? I thought I'd remembered reading that you shouldn't.

So, I just had a customer bring me a second vehicle....both high-end cars, at least to me. They dropped it off, and did not have time to do a walk around with me. I noted all the trouble spots (bird poop etchings, scratches, carpet stains, etc) on a video on my phone before touching it. As I...

So.....I want to put together a wall mount pressure washer setup. According to my breaker box, my outlets are on a 15 amp circuit. I'm looking at an AR630, which, according to their website, is 19 amp. Can I run this without tripping the breaker constantly? Obviously, I know nothing about...

I'm a big fan of toppers when it comes to extending the life of sealants. Having just tried WG SIO2 for the first time.....any recommendations for a topper after maintenance washes? I've always liked Bead Maker, but I'm open to suggestions for something else

So....recently applied Wolfgang SIO2 Sealant to my truck....which I'm really happy with, and I'll be giving it the first maintenance wash this weekend. I currently have Reset and P&S Pearl on the shelf. I know if seems like a stupid question, but is Reset too strong for the first maintenance...

So,,,,about three weeks ago, I bought a new set of tires (bridgestone Dueler). Since I've been working from home. I've driven on them very infrequently. I decided today to give them a thorough cleaning. I used Optimum Power Clean at full strength. Two of them cleaned up very well, and they...

I'm thinking of going mobile, and have been looking at these small(ish) work vans, like the Ford Transit Connect. Do any of you guys use vans similar to these, and are they big enough? I'm looking for any suggestions

Let me preface this by saying I use a multiple mitt method to was as opposed to the two bucket method. When I start, my wash/soap bucket gets cleaned before anything goes in. Dirty wash mitts never get back into this bucket once they are used on the vehicle, they are put in a separate bucket...

So...just got some new (microfiber chenille) wash mitts during an Autogeek sale.....do I wash them before using them?
