    Anyone here save soap/wash water?

    I have never even thought of this. I guess it’s not a bad idea if you want to be extra thrifty. The cost of an ounce of soap is so minimal. Even if you wash your vehicle say 3 times a week how much are you really saving? Maybe if you’re using super expensive soap it would be worth it, but...

    Can't get this gunk off steering wheel - Help!

    Once you wear the coating off leather it will never be the same. Without coating the lather absorbs everything and is very difficult to clean without being so aggressive that you make things worse. I would get myself a nice steering wheel cover.

    Which approach to address Orange Peel?

    As far as sanding block. Same thing test out both and decide which one gives u the best results. I use a medium density block (when I use blocks) for pretty well every application.

    Which approach to address Orange Peel?

    Do a test spot starting with the least aggressive grit you can and go down from there. That small test spot will 100% answer every question you have my friend.

    ONR 1st timer - speechless!

    Awesome!! Welcome to the club. I absolutely love ONR. For us mobile guys it’s a game changing product. You can wash a car (if not ridiculously dirty) in a quarter of the time for less than a tenth of the cost. It also makes an amazing clay lube, and a fairly good QD. I know there are other...

    Ya you have to fill out all the blanks. It’s sort of a pain but I just put in 123 for any ones I don’t need or want to fill out and it works just fine.

    anyone use the Autogeek Autospector (IOS)?

    I actually use it daily and have for the last 4 months. Works great for me. Sure saves a lot of paper inspection reports that need to be organized and filed every day. I have not had one issue with it yet. It’s user friendly and it actually organizes and saves your clients info nicely.

    Proper procedure for detailing a car help

    You can literally do it it whatever order you like. Polish trim first or after paint doesn’t really matter. Depending on what products your using you could even do it all at once. No matter what order you choose, I would definitely do it before your LSP.

    HELP! Can't get rid of haze

    Polishing with a compound and aggressive pads will haze a lot of vehicles I’ve found. I’ve never had an issue polishing the haze, or rotary holograms out with a good fine polish and foam polishing pads. After you correct with a “compound”, you have to finish with a “polish” to refine it and...

    Polishing Plexiglas to be as clear as glass using Pinnacle Advanced Finishing Polish

    You’re the man Mike! I’ve been looking for a way to clean up the plexiglass windows in my barn. I replaced all the glass with used plexiglass years ago because the cattle kept busting the windows out and I have never been able to see out of them very well. I’m gonna have to go at one and see...

    Hiring New Employees

    That’s another issue. I can pay pretty decent if the person was worth it. As far as paid vacations I doubt it.Lol. Paid stat holidays and such of course, that’s labour law here. As far as benefits for the right person that was willing to stick it out with me for the long haul, I would...

    Hiring New Employees

    Hey Guys. To be honest when I started my mobile business a year ago +/-, I never thought I would get to this point, but I’ve just got to the point in my business that I need to hire an employee or 2. I am fully educated on all the labour laws and deductions and all that, but I’ve never hired...

    Chemical Guys Leather Ruined my steering

    I believe most of us on this forum are beyond that. I use 2 CG products on a daily basis and that’s because they work well and they are cheap enough to be profitable. I have had no need to try any of their other products so I can’t speak for them. Silk Shine dressing is one of them and is an...
