I'm going to do this for a few reasons: 1. To hold myself...

    New CG "Clean Slate" wax/sealant stripping soap

    Easiest way to remove old wax or sealant, polish it off. Removing polishing oils is a ton easier than removing wax or sealant.

    most economical iron remover?

    I've used both the 3D and the carpro. I think the Carpro is slightly stronger (and I do mean SLIGHTLY). That being said, I use the 3D. The price point is right and it still works great.

    For you 3D fans. HD Adapt has been discontinued

    Winner winner, HD Adapt dinner. After I'm done with this bad boy I guess it will be all Cut+ and Optimum Hyper Polish from here forward.

    For you 3D fans. HD Adapt has been discontinued

    David, is the AAT compound significantly different than the Polish in how it works? I have the AAT Polish and prefer Adapt and Polish to it hands down. AAT does not seem to finish near as well, and dusts a ton. Maybe my process is off, but I feel pretty secure in it since I've used HD stuff my...

    For you 3D fans. HD Adapt has been discontinued

    Cut+ finishes slightly better and dusts less than the previous Cut, but still finishes nowhere near as close to Adapt.

    For you 3D fans. HD Adapt has been discontinued

    The difference is I can get HD products for $60/gallon wholesale, whereas other lines are much, much more expensive and the difference between them does not make the price point worth it to me.

    What could I have done different, I am very angry over a customer issue.....

    Lesson learned. The only time I have EVER been burned on details is when I offered some sort of discount.

    For you 3D fans. HD Adapt has been discontinued

    This is true. It will take me a while to use a whole gallon but once it is gone I will be switching from HD/3D unless they replace Adapt. Sick of them coming out with great products and removing them with no warning or explanation.

    What are your rates for your services? mobile or shop?

    Nonsense, why does Starbucks charge $3.25 for a $.99 cent cup of coffee? Perceived value. Your value to your clients is what they perceive it to be, even if the difference between you and your competitor is less than 1%.

    Contract with Dealers?

    If you are doing 5-7 cars a week why on earth don't you have insurance?? You are just as liable for personally owned vehicles as you are commercially owned!

    Are Rupes polishers tough or easy to get broken?

    My 15 has been through the mill, probably polished over 500 vehicles in all types of crazy environments. Looking a little rough but runs great. My Mark II is on the way to my house from Florida as we speak...
