So, I received my 2 jars of Souveran for my V-Day present from my gf. Woot!

Also, got a nice label maker at Staples for $25. Made a few for my spray bottles that I have. Still have 4 more spray bottles to get/make, and about 10-15 8 oz. sample bottles. that are on order. All those will be having my polishes/sealants/conditioners/soaps/misc. things.

As for the Souveran... I plan on doing a quick polsihing on my car with Edge orange pad and XMT 1 or 2. (There probabaly is some very light surface defects from all the salt that's been on the car for the last month.) LSP is gonna be DG 105. I've used it many times on other cars, and really want to see how it looks on my white car. I've heard it'll look good. Next day I'm gonna top that with a coat of Souveran. Maybe add another coat later on.
 
and pics too.

The DG 105 rocks, and try to hose the car the day after u apply the DG 105, thats a shocker!!! u should try the DG 101 too, thats a killer.

where did you get all those bottles from?

The 24 oz. bottles are all from wal-mart for $0.98. They are perfect for me because they are graduated. The chemicals I use the most are in these bottles. After playing with them a little, the trigger sprayers aren't the best, so I have 12 on chemical resistant sprayers on order from AG.

The smaller bottles are from Meijers and were $1.59. These bottles are SWEET. GREAT sprayers and can be a very fine mist, stream, or in between. They are 12 oz. and contain my chemicals that would for the most part only be used in full details or not too often.

I also have many 8oz. sample bottles on order from usplastics.com for my polishes/sealants/etc.

I re-size all my chemicals because I'm mobile and it's MUCH easier to carry everything this way.
 
Looks good! I always use printed labels on my spray bottles. It's much easier to read than my chicken scratch. I just use mailing labels on my PC printer though. Then I put some clear packing tape over them to make them water proof. I like to make the labels on my PC because then I can add logos. :)

These labels I got are laminated and waterproof for this little machine.

I'm going to order some vinyl decals for my rear window that will have my logo on it. Also will be getting a few extra. I'm going to put one on each of my 5 gallon buckets and one on my PC case.
 
What do you have in the bottles in the back?

Those little bottle are sweet.

LOL! I know the feeling. I used to have a pretty good hand, a 9th grade drafting class really helped with lettering; but the years have deteriorated those skills. Now I have my Wife label my bottles for me.

I don't like having to peel those PC generated (Avery/Brother) labels off when I change the contents of a bottle. And as you've evidently experienced without additional steps the print isn't waterproof.

It'll be interesting to see how durable those labels are when it comes to adhering to the bottles. Which labeler did you get?

No stickers/decals for me on my vehicles (except of course those state mandated), but I like that idea of a logo on the wash buckets.

In the back: Purple Power 1:1, APC + 10:1, DP 4:1 QD, Megs wheel brightener 4:1, DP's Vision glass cleaner, and DP's 4:1 clay lube.

Will be filling up another 24 oz. with PB's S&W.

Three more 12 oz. spray bottles will be filled with 303 Prot., DG's Oder Eliminator, and DP's Wheel gel cleaner (will use instead of Megs Wheel Brighter for more delicate wheels).

What do you the purple power for? engine or something else?

Whitethunder46, how do you like Duragloss#371 OE?

Have not yet tried it, but it is on order.
This is one area of detailing that I researched extensively and asked about many products (some not available on AG:o). Keeping in mind price at gallon sizes and that this doesn't "mask" oder or leaves a "scent" to cover anything up, this is my best choice.

I'm just ordering the smaller bottle for now to make 100% sure this is what I want to use.

Tires and engines.
I was going to get Megs Super Degreaser but have heard it's not terribly strong and PP is cheaper. $5 for 1 gallon or $11 for 2.5 gallons.

I also wanted to combine a tire cleaner and engine cleaner/degreaser all into one product. I very easily could have gotten a dedicated tire cleaner and another degreaser for engines, but that just wouldn't be the best business choice.

Smart thinking. I am currently looking for a engine cleaner/degreaser for my business but I already have a tire cleaner. I was thinking PP or SG...but I think I will go will PP people seem to like it better. Thanks for the reply.
