    Re: Tires turning brown

    Most dedicated tire products will do a good job. You just need to use a stick bristle brush to agitate and rinse. A second application will let you know if all the browning is gone.

    Re: vinyl tonneau cover protection

    I saw a video of a car show and Mike now works for 3D/HD. Not a company I am a fan of, but I am sure he will increase their presence on the market, like Yvan Lacroix did for Optimum. It's funny...

    Re: Risk question for the pros

    That is true. I have seen brands that have thick paint and no clear! For example, Range Rovers and Jaguars. I remember going through a clear on a Jaguar and was shocked. The paint was almost 200...

    Re: Risk question for the pros

    Two things:
    First, I would not touch paint for anything more abrasive than a cleaner wax or 1 step polish without taking a paint depth reading. My paint gauge doesn't tell me the thickness of the...

    Re: vinyl tonneau cover protection

    That makes sense. That product is formulated for leather, so interior and not exposed to the elements. I would put normal coating instead of leather coating on something outside the vehicle.

    Re: vinyl tonneau cover protection

    I use what ever I use on the paint for the vehicle. Any sealant or coating will do a good job. Just make sure to really clean the vinyl well first so the product binds to it.

    Re: Importance of Wet Sanding in Touch-ups

    When done correcly, a touch up that is wet sanded will disapear and looks as if nothing has ever happened to the paint.

    The difficulty with that is you need to let the paint cure before wet...
  13. Re: Mobile detailers... what do you guys pay entry level employees?

    I am planning to use a Rotary, not a DA. Nice to know that a cleaner wax can work. Saving a step would be a great advantage on a long job like this. I don't know if I want to use wool as a single...

    After watching a few of Yvan Lacroix' videos, I have decided to give the rotary polisher an other try.

    Re: Best way to clean exterior of windshield

    Glass polish might be a little agressive for just cleaning the windshield. That is designed to remove damage in the glass.
