Concerning the original question, I have tried a few different self healing coatings and they have been very intensive installs. I’m not familiar with any consumer versions and I would not fault any...
1. As a more general comment, it doesn’t matter to me if it’s sap, tar, paint, etc. my pricing is based on a thorough process and if that doesn’t remove the contaminant, then I do need to charge for...
AG is awesome for car detailing stuff, but when it comes to fabrics, I go to those experts. Find a carpet cleaning supply store near you, they will have an ink remover for fabrics, you will want to...
I use my steamer, and a degreaser if necessary. I clean them early in the process since gunk can splatter, then tape over them so crap doesn’t get back in there when vacuuming.
Exemplary response Todd. Responses I have seen from other reps have turned me off from other brands and, sadly, rupes. So glad to see this kind of class and professionalism.
I do not bother with any panel prep products prior to wax or sealant. I consider that to be more potential for introducing marring, and that is working backwards.
Nice job! That would be a B6 generation, 2003-2006. Not sure if the vert was offered all those years in the US though, may have only been through 2005 here.
It’s a good point. I expect my pre-wash routine to address that. A snow foam that is normally alkaline or at least has pH buffers to address acids and dwell time to bring other chemicals into...
Not sure about the current versions, but with previous versions there were complaints about water spots on the pro version. But, my understanding is that the coating would absorb/reject them after a...
If your wife is going to continue to take it to the brush car wash, I would say don’t bother trying to get all the swirls and scratches out. Just do what you can in a single step to improve on the...
I don’t think it’s well above 2000, I think the difference you feel/perceive is a higher flow rate compared to the average stand alone pressure washer.
I agree with this completely. The test is not necessarily on a geek level. The 'correct' answer is often better aligned with production type work. That is to say, something you may consider...
Not to take away from the quality of the work, because it does look fantastic, but, the reflection photos are a simple photography phenomenon you can easily replicate.
I love the wool mitts, but you gotta wash them by hand, brush them, take them for walks, give them mitt food, potty train them. Not really efficient for production work or even doing a couple cars a...
I think water spots are really an issue for any LSP that will bead water. The SiO2 coatings do seem to be worse for this than traditional LSPs. I would expect some of the new generation ones like...
