    So, you're wife is on your @ss about the $$$ you spend on detailing supplies?

    Yep...me too.

    But here's how I beat that issue....

    I just spent 2 hours with my PC7424, some orange and white LC pads, and some Menzerna polishes. On my car? No. I ended up polishing up the shower and tub enclosure on 2 of our bathrooms. Then proceeded to get out water stains on the glass shower door, and made it perfectly clear. I finished with a coat of Blackfire Wet Diamond sealant. She was blown away by the results. And I, am off the hook for my "detailing supply" addiction.

    And no, I refuse to post any before/after pics!! It's a shower, not my Camaro!!!

    If you do the toilet next she might let you buy a new DA polisher or something.

    Don't get too smug. It never takes 'em very long to find something new to us about.

    Which polish and pad did you use for the glass shower doors?

    I've been using the DA on our tile floor with a carpet brush attachment.

    Will also try out a MF pad on our leather sofa, see how it works out.

    This is really the only thing i have the upper hand on in my marriage lol. She got upset when i first started out and i just said listen, This is my business, i put money away to invest into it to help it grow and thats just how it works. The money i make from the business right now goes back into the business. And that was the end of it.

    That's hilarious, I did the SAME exact thing on my shower stall over the weekend. I used a glass polishing pad with my PC and some Rain-X extreme clean. Then I used the same pad on the floor and tile walls with "Comet" powder. Maybe worth mentioning that I set aside this pad for household duty and never let it touch my car
    I used Collinite paste wax on the glass and on the chrome fixtures and trim around the shower stall. Took me a good hour top to bottom.

    May have to try some 845 on my fixtures after a nice polish. Dunno that I can go into the whole tub/shower polish though.

    Showers make great test beds for sealants, etc. I used Aquapel on our shower doors. I used OG on the toilet.
