If I corrected to perfection every customer's car that came to me for a wash I'd be a broke detailer. Just something to consider when looking at the specifics of a situation like some of the above. I don't always successfully sell that needed paint correction, but I won't refuse to properly wash...

Yes, I had (and have) a Mongoose Blue Max (sold @ military PXs) that came with a nickel finish. I believe there may be some Motomags that came with that finish as well. I have a Motomag I'm restoring (going to powdercoat) along with an early Expert with the embossed BMX logo on the head tube. I...

Frankly you could top with either 845 or PL.

I also came from an industry with certification and professional standards (software), and I had the same questions when I first learned of the IDA. Since launching my business late last year and joining the IDA in February, what I have found is that the organization offers both written and live...

A clay mitt will significantly reduce the time needed to decontaminate.

Great work! Weathered single stage white is no joke!

Joe, you got that right. While FG400 is my go-to, I've tried every product mentioned in this thread except the Scholl's, and I own most of them, the FCC and CC is amazing stuff. Griot's is really stepping up their game

The McKee's 37 Hi Intensity APC is amazing - concentrate goes a loooooong way, works on many surfaces including leather. Highly recommend this stuff

I just did one of these on Friday. Truck sat in El Paso driveway for years, now back in Austin. Had to go to FG400, tried AIO (xmt360) and polish (205) w poor results. Went through almost 20 orange pads as it gummed up fast.

I'll be in Houston next week Wednesday through Saturday and can meet to show tips and talk about Mike's class, as I just went in January. I'm also meeting up with a Houston friend who went to the class in Jan as well. PM me your info - I'll be near 610/I10

Great meeting the Chicago guys, Bruno and AJ, the CR crew and seeing Mike, Bob, Pete and Jared again. It's been an absolute pleasure working with these folks. Time for some sleep, but I'm sure you will hear more as soon as I get back to Austin

I'm definitely looking forward to this and I appreciate you extending the offer, Mike! It will be good to see you, Bob, Jared and Pete again and to work with the rest of the team working on this episode! I'm booking my flight and hotel today!!

Surprised the 540k hasn't been mentioned yet...

Cheers to a great birthday for you today my friend! Bust out some EmergenC and rest (haha) on that cold.

Hmmm - is that a Z console? Did you just rub on it with your finger or use microfiber or some other kind of media?

Hey Jared! Good to see you on here! I have been running around all over the place since the January class, but I am finally getting some time to get caught up on the forums. Looking forward to meeting up with you, Pete and Mike again in a few weeks!

Condolences on your family's loss, sir, and thanks for sharing this post. Celebrating life and remembering the good times is truly key.

I'm in for this if there is room! Sounds like a great opportunity!

I too like the hands-on experience. I use clay mitts and like how I can feel the decontamination happening directly.

Great stuff man - thanks for sharing your efforts on this. I've been using sharpies on the bottles directly because my labels using my cheap label maker eventually come off after a few weeks. I tried printing labels on regular Avery white blanks and covering with clear packing tape, but they...
