I've tried the Dr Colorchip 4 separate times now, 2 on my own vehicles and 2 on a customer's. I wanted to incorporate this more into the business, but it seems like it takes so much longer to clean up afterwards than it makes out to be. What I expected to take 30 minutes ends up taking 2 hours...

Whatever cleaner you use, hitting it with a steam cleaner may help. I just got a bunch of black grease stains out of a light tan colored headliner last week. I used my smaller steam cleaner with the round nylon brush and a MF towel wrapped around it. I keep forgetting the name of the steamer...

That's the one. It's like having a tiny nanoskin tool. One pass around the border of emblems is about all it takes. Haven't found an emblem it couldn't reach the interior corners either. I'll usually lightly mist the emblem, run this around the edges, then throw a MF over it to clean out and...

Hard to tell in the pic, but it's not a cone. The tip is essentric, and it has a sort of blade edge (pointing directly at the camera). The profile is kind of like a spatula for spreading icing.

I use a rubber tipped detail tool and a quick detail spray. They sell a kit here, but the brushes are AWFUL and the reviews show it. They are gray, and one is a dual sided dash vent tool, and the other has a rubber tip at one end and yellow bristles brush at the other. The first time I touched...

WG Uber Compound finishes off nice enough to go straight to LSP. This was with a rotary, so of course I did go over it again with a DA next.I already hit the other areas in the pic, working towards the back of the car. I know it's a "compound", but these days, most have diminishing abrasives...

Was he about 7 feet tall?

I spent big money on the Dupray Hill Injection steam cleaner and really haven't put it to much use. It cleans interior surfaces really good, but it's not a huge time saving over just using an all purpose cleaner and towels. Its good for some spot cleaning, but I also have a small hand held one...

I kept the front simple because I have two different addresses for the different services, even though they are right across the street from each other. I'm going to be making some pamphlets also that go more in depth with the services. These are the ones submitted to the printer so they have...

I saw that one but was going to settle on the DI Rinse Pro 100. I'll check on getting it delivered, but this is a tiny plot and a very funky intersection with heavy traffic, so it could be pretty difficult to get a tank delivered.

Thanks for the feedback. I may still try it out for the ones I do at the shop.

I actually was looking at DI systems earlier and will probably get one. I was actually talking to my buddy/housemate/business partner today telling him I'll probably just do the rinseless instead, and not use his pressure washer. But then I thought about it some more, and I don't plan on doing...

So I'm a big WG fanboy now, but mostly just using their LSPs, moved onto Uber Rinseless Wash, and keep getting impressed. I haven't tried any trim dressings because I bought gallons of CG Silk Shine and Blue Guard II. Just now running out of both. But I absolutely love Silk Shine, and a gallon...

Noise won't be an issue at all. There is a Jiffy Lube that has the building built right up to the property line, and the other two borders (triangle shaped property) are streets, one being Main St, which is the true definition of a "main st" hehe. Traffic is always packed there. I use a small...

I went ahead and ordered a couple water sprites and just picked up a Ryobi leaf blower. It's battery powered so not the strongest, but I already have a bunch of Ryobi tools with a 6 pack charger and a few 4 amp hour batteries. I'll try it out tomorrow.

I just found a good lot to rent to have a small hand wash setup going. All of my previous experience as a business has been doing high end mobile detailing using a waterless wash as a basis. I have a couple foam canons now with pressure washers and going to be using RO water most likely with a...

I do the same thing. Doesn't even matter if the pads aren't designed for wet sanding, though most of the finer grits usually are. I find you don't use the heavy grits long enough for the water to have an impact on the pad itself, but does wonders for keeping the surface cooler and helps shed...

It wouldn't take much to insulate the garage doors yourself, but you would need to get heavier duty springs installed. I used to do garage door servicing and repair so if anyone has any questions about it, feel free to ask me. I don't know much about insulation ratings and such, but anything...

If I have to try correcting with a PC, I always put it on 6 and not a lot of pressure to allow it to keep rotating. If I'm just doing a final polish, I don't worry about it spinning. I use mostly hexalogic pads, so the edge isn't smooth and easy to see if is spinning so I've never bothered to...

I'm slightly familiar with their products. I use the Opti-Lens as my headlight sealant and was pretty interested in trying it their Opticoat, but by the time I was ready to try it out, other companies came out with coatings and I'm kind of a WG fanboy so opted for theirs. What I'm wondering is...
