    Shipping

    Just to piggyback on this - that cart price is $15 cheaper if you've spent there what most of us normally do in a year

    How versatile is a steamer?

    Just a tip on that particular steamer model, make sure you don't overfill it, otherwise you end up with a water jet instead of a steamer...

    Contemplating removing packaged services?

    Is Goof-Off really more effective? In my experience Tar-X has melted the tar right off the car and all I've gotta do is go back through and wipe off the remaining residue.

    How quickly does AG ship orders out?

    My experience so far has been that the orders are shipped about 2 business days after ordering. Or you might receive a notice that an item is on backorder 2 business days after ordering it.

    Coating Billet Wheels, Possible?

    You've probably already thought this out but just wanted to give a couple words of advice just in case. If you're having a shop mount the tires (and you want to keep the rims in as good condition as possible) I would speak with them before they do any work and let them know that you expect the...

    Best polisher for carpet

    I definitely agree with aim4squirrels, a brush on a DA would be pretty overkill on a headliner. I usually make it clear to customers that stains on the headliner are not at all guaranteed to be removed as if you get too aggressive it's gonna look a lot worse than it did. I use a cyclo brush...

    Soak car before using foam gun?

    They're all either around 7 or close to 14 at 13.5. I originally didn't use the Iron X Snow Soap or the Bug Squash but slowly added them in. When I added in the Iron X I ensured that it still reacted with areas iron was present. The snow soap isn't as strong as normal Iron X but when I rinse the...

    Soak car before using foam gun?

    I've used both the Tornador foam gun and a foam lance on my pressure washer. The foam gun will produce much thicker foam but in my experience it doesn't last longer than the foam from a pressure washer. I usually use my foam gun on tires and by the time I've hit the fourth tire the foam on the...

    I've used these containers before. As far as their durability all I can say is that they'll last at least 24 hours with strong alcohol in them... :dblthumb2:

    Issue removing all of the rail rust from car.

    Sometimes it's so bad 'rail dust' doesn't do it justice :props:

    Paint Correction Questions

    What color is the BMW? If it's white it is difficult to see any marring left behind by the compounding step. How many passes are you making over one area - and how large of an area are you doing at one time?

    Why Is There Tape Behind The License Plate?

    Is this thin tape just around the plastic inserts that allow for the license plate screws? I'm not sure that would help the paint or stop any rattling. When I work on a vehicle and it shows signs of the license plate damaging the paint I have little rubber pieces with adhesive on one side...

    Floormat annoying me - is there really anything I can do?

    You might actually try Dawn dish soap - I haven't used it on mats before but I know that when I get grease stains on my home carpet it removes them quite easily. If you use the Dawn or another degreaser I'd like it soak for a bit then use a stiff bristle brush on it, then use a pressure washer...

    Loss of pressure with my new pressure washer hose

    1/16" doesn't sound like a lot but you've gotta remember when looking at a cross section of the hose that that extra 1/16" in the diameter changes the area from .049" to .077", an increase of 57%!

    How long to let polish cure?

    Just curious when you say 'cure' is that what it says on the bottle? Most of the products I use that talk about curing time they're referring to the time after it's wiped off. For example coatings must cure for a certain amount of time before you add a LSP or expose them to water, etc. And some...

    How can I clean this up?

    Doesn't look like you can clean it - looks like the paint has worn off. Maybe the dealer took off the plastic piece and used lower quality paint to repaint it? I can't tell in the picture, but is the paint on the lower plastic piece also metallic?

    Can only see swirls in sun!

    I don't have the light you have; however, lights I do have that are similar to that are not effective at seeing imperfections in paint. The problem is they are BRIGHT, but they're bright all over (if that makes sense...) due to the way the light from the bulb is reflected in the housing of the...

    3 miles on the odometer and the paint is contaminated

    Well it would depend on how far the car was driven from the factory to the dealership. If it was something like 1,000 miles (no idea if this is realistic) then that would be equivalent to three weeks of driving. BUT you also have to take into account that the car has absolutely no protection...
