I like the KD Cloth idea... I'll definitely give that a try. Besides that, I'll stick with terrycloth towels as backups. The "clean twice" rule is a good step and definitely always using dry cloths...

I CANNOT get a clean windshield. I've been detailing since 2010 and have not once got a perfect windshield. I get haze and holograms in the windshield every time. I'm using Rain-X and a MF cloth. I...

I have a Karcher Electric Pressure Washer that I'm hooking up to a 55 Gal drum. Do I need to pressurize the tank and/or hook up an external pump or can I gravity feed?

Let me start off by saying my decision to go into this business is directly in relation to the knowledge that has been shared to me on this site. I've been reading about automotive detailing on here...

Thanks for all the friendly advice guys! I am going to purchase Meg's All Season Dressing next and see how that works!

I hope I didn't create a monster here! LOL.

So I CAN admit that I've actually been using it incorrectly. (I didn't dilute it. I will probably do the 1:1 (50/50 Mix?) and try that. But my main...

Yes, I was trying to achive the Wet Tire look. And Vegas, I actually did not dilute at all. I figured using concentrate would actually be better... Guess not.

I just bought a gallon of this stuff and I went to use it for the first time. Used with the proper tire applicator. I first tried spraying it onto the tire and it foamed up white and looks messy....

Friendly bump! Still wondering what items to use! I think I read that a waffle-weave MF towel is best for drying??

So it is okay to machine wash? I usually hand washed them because of the added expense of running the machines for such a small load. (Five to six MF's). Can I use the same process for the pads too?

Hello, I had a question about cleaning and Maintaining Microfiber towels (and pads too!!) What should I use to clean them? (Detergent? Nothing/water only?) Should they be machine washed? Machine...

I can tell that my Zymol is still on the car because the water still beads off of it very nicely. However, it just doesn't have the shine to it anymore.

Hello, I had a question about Microfiber towels. I find myself screwing up alot of jobs with a hazy finish, or left over streaks, wipe marks etc. I am trying to figure out what type of Microfiber...

I browsed around for the Blackfire Wet Diamond and all I can find is a kit of different chemicals. How is the Blackfire Wet Diamond actually applied?

I have a somewhat off-topic question about the Flex Polisher. I wanted to confirm that it is actually a DA Polisher. I keep seeing different models of the 3401 (XC3401, 3401 VRG, etc). Does the 3401...

I'm not looking to make this look professional. It's a fleet of construction vehicles. As long as the paint doesnt go anywhere, I would just use Krylon.

Thanks guys! Are Hybrid and CCS two different models? Also, why do you think I need three of each? Do they really get used up that quickly?

I'm looking to purchase a set of LC pads for my Flex. What size is best? Is it better to go smaller or go large? Also, which colors will I use the most? I am aware that the pads have different scales...

Absolutely. I plan on covering the entire vehicle with tarp and doing one door at a time. I am also going to seal off the interior with tarp as well so no paint gets on the interior. How about brand...

Sounds like a great idea. What paint stripper would you use? Would mineral spirits or Acetone work? I already have those items.

In a previous thread I asked a question about painting door-jambs. I wanted to start a separate topic about re-moving auto paint from rubber exterior trim. A customer purchased a fleet of used rental...

I have a customer that purchased a fleet of used work vans from a rental agency. They were originally orange or yellow and were repainted after the customer purchased them. However, painting the...

Purchased this car a couple months ago and it was beat on. In addition to that, I drove it over 800 miles during Hurricane Sandy. As of right now here are just some photo's to start with. It's...

So you're saying to use a sealant, followed by a wax for LSP? What type of sealant do you recommend besides Colly 845? Is there anything out there that's better?

Thanks for the replies! Right now im using Zymols $49 basic wax. Im looking for a wax that will give off an obnoxious show car shine, last for about three to six months in both shine and protection....
