    Re: Flex 3401

    Is your new Supa a corded or battery? I'm torn between 3401 or XCE8-125. There have been a few mentions on this forum of the battery powered XCE being a bit down on power compared to the 3401. I...
  2. Re: 15 Minutes Kosmetic Engine Detail - With 303 - Wheel Woolies and Metro-Vac

    I love 303 for engines.

    I do it a bit differently though as I'll usually give the cool engine a light mist of cleaner / degreaser or soap. I'll agitate the dirtiest areas then give it a nice...
  3. Re: Is there an easy way to treat inner plastic fenders on trucks

    I buy 4 gallons at a time Bill :)

    I'm not big on dressing interiors either, but if a client requests it, well, the customer is always right!

    Re: Beadmaker question

    Thanks again for posting that Guz. I do think I may be getting a mix of products on the paint and they're not getting along. Could be the Chemical Guys soap I've been using. I've used a very basic...
  5. Re: Is there an easy way to treat inner plastic fenders on trucks

    I've always been a big fan of 303 Aerospace Protectant. It's a little pricey but does a great job. It's fairly water soluble but once it's completely dried and cures, it seems much more durable. ...

    Re: Beadmaker question

    I actually did change to Chemical Guys purple soap recently. Hmm. . .



    I'm using the same Costco yellow microfibers that I've been using for twenty plus years. I have a few other microfibers...

    Beadmaker question

    Mike, I'm a professional detailer since 1985. I've been using Renny's Beadmaker product for the last couple of years. I love it. Recently, I've had some issues with slight hazing after...
  8. Re: how to do you guys reapply sealants if you are using a QD on top every car wash?

    I can go over client cars with Beadmaker just as fast as I can go over them with quick detailer and in my experience Beadmaker offers incredible durability and protection along with looking and...

    Re: Topper to add to 303 Graphene for slickness

    The 303 Graphene is a neat product, but I am right there with you on the stickiness. Very odd. I haven't tried topping it with Beadmaker. I'm a professional detailer since 1985 working at a very...
  10. Re: Review: The Leatherique Treatment - Leather Rejuvenator Oil and Prestine Clean

    Looks nice. I've used this stuff on a few interiors. A classic Range Rover and a '73 Rolls Royce. Great results on both and yes the technique is kind of odd. I'd like to try it on some truly...

    Re: How to apply cquartz? - complete video guide!

    Just applied CQuartz 2014 formulation (not UK as far as I know) to my 2007 Mini Cooper S. I've been a professional detailer for over thirty years now in the San Diego area. Did a full paint...

    Re: Mobile Van still in progress!

    Romans5.8, I was in no way denigrating the guys' setup at all. I think it's awesome. I've just never had a problem with a client allowing me to plug in if electricity is available close by. In...

    Re: Mobile Van still in progress!

    Get a 35' pool hose from Home Depot or wherever and just adapt it to your vacuum. No more lugging the vac around:xyxthumbs:

    Re: Hello from North San Diego County

    Very cool!

    I don't know why it's taken me so long to join a detailing forum. Lots of shared interest here. Probably because I spend enough dang time on the internet as it is!!!!!

    Re: Please give your piece of advise

    Mike,

    I run a couple of sportbike forums and do the same thing. We're pretty wide open but occasionally you still have to give someone the boot. Of course they come back under a new IP, new...

    Re: Please give your piece of advise

    Why would a Corolla need an oil cooler? They're pretty much indestructible.
    I think that was an odd attempt at spam.

    Re: Mobile Van still in progress!

    I almost always plug in but a generator is nice to have if you're totally remote. As far as the water goes, I would never use tap water to wash a car, at least not the ultra hard stuff we have in...

    Re: Review-Collinite Double Coat wax

    Bob, no doubt you are correct. It's not 100% carnuba wax, so no doubt there are other ingredients. I just meant that it's not going to pull much of anything off your paint. Maybe a tiny bit of...
