This is how I do every wash, I bring my 2 buckets etc. and just use their pressure washer and bay. The place I go to is not maned, even in the day time, but it does have signs saying "no bucket...
My only issue with mobile is the fact that I dont have the space at my house. What you've described sounds fine, having your garage space to do details is the same as a shop in my eyes, as long as it...
I've tried several different microfiber cloths on glass, every one leaves small fibers. Whats the trick? I have to use cotton rags to avoid this. Speaking of You Tube, I've watched tint guys use the...
I haven't looked yet, but would like to find a good, honest detailer to do annual or bi annual details. I have yet to find one that is not just mobile and actually has a shop. The local car wash...
Ahh, that makes more sense. I wonder how many rags it would take to do a crew cab Ford Super Duty, 20? Lol. How many times can the rags be reused before they are just too loaded up with dirt?
Yep, unfortunately the truck is too big to fit in my driveway and I'm not into doing stuff on the street. The self wash is $3 for 4 min. and then $X by the minute after that. I fire it up twice...
That would work but also cost more, since I do it at the coin op. As it is, the initial rinse down and final rinse combined cost me about $12. This truck is a beast, my 2 ft. ladder barely gets me...
I recently found out that the Ultimate Quick Wax(spray) has some carnauba in it but its a very small amount. I've used the UQW and the X-press wax, aside from scent the same, neither would I describe...
Are there any soaps for maintenance washes (non coated vehicle) that don't dry as fast as others? I do my washes at the coin wash, mainly because of lack of space for washing my large truck, I bring...
Rather than starting another thread let me ask this, why does it seem like all the microfiber rags I've used on my glass leave small fibers all over it? I have to use cotton towels/rags to avoid it....
Can the products suggested here be applied by hand with good results? If yes, what is the best technique? I have this piano black plastic on the B pillars of my truck, its near impossible to avoid...
Maybe I will try it in the future. As of now I still have quite a bit of X-press wax and a bottle of Bead Maker. It would be nice to get some insight on the questions above.
My experience with UQW is that it's white, it also has no carnauba, it's a synthetic polymer spray "wax" sealant. From what I've read, not specific to UQW, the synthetic stuff last longer than a...
I should have specified, a synthetic spray "wax" like UQW, that is more of a paint sealant compared to a paste or liquid wax that I automatically associate with being a carnuba wax. I was under the...
I purchased my truck in May but it had been on the lot since January, I unfortunately don't have the space or experience to do the extensive prep and detail that some of you all do, so I might be...
For it to have clearcoat overspray would require it to be near a body shop, does that dealer have a body shop on site? Probably just that photo, and you would know better in person, but it looks like...
I did a headlight restore on an 02 Tacoma. Last time I used a 3M drill powered kit, this time I used a QUIXX kit that has been sitting in my garage for years. All elbow grease but it turned out...
Thank you for the feedback, I went ahead and ordered a 3 pack of the "Chinchilla. I also added a"Dry Me a River" towel. I'm hoping that will help me avoid having to stop to ring out my first drying...
It sounds like both options are good. All 3 are priced the same for the quantity and size I'm interested in, pretty close in GSM and same 75/25 ratio. The Chinchilla looks to have a different...
New guy here, not a pro detailer, just learning about products and techniques to keep my vehicles looking good for years to come. I'm shopping the AG store for microfiber rags to use for spray wax...
