I stopped using traditional blinker fluid altogether; even the synthetic brands. Megs D114 works better. Not only do I already have it on hand, it keeps the blinkers cleaner as well. Just don't...
With the Absorber, it's probably best to blot only and not wipe. I use Cobra Guzzler Waffle Weaves and they're good, but probably not "the best." I've heard good things about the Microfiber Madness...
I haven't used either, but if I did, I would only use a sponge for the traditional two bucket wash. For rinseless, I prefer the Gary Dean method using lots of microfiber towels.
Unless you're born into a detailer family, most people start with what was sold at the department or auto parts store, yes? So probably the first WOW was from using an AIO for the very first time....
I suppose the "best" way is to use a machine of some kind, either a steamer or an extractor. But lacking either of those things, you might try using the...
I think it is due to the nature of foam being so open cell. I don't get much life out of them either, but I accept it as being a high-wear item that needs to be purchased more frequently.
You can't just wait for people to come to you, you have to solicit for work face-to-face. That doesn't necessarily mean banging on doors or other "cold" calling methods. Regardless, you have to talk...
I'd be afraid of using a metal cart, for fear of it getting bumped and scratching paint. I'd probably want to at least wrap some foam around the edges just in case. Regarless, I can't use a cart...
Some people top; waxes on top of sealants, waxes on top of coatings, sealants on top of coatings. Does it help? Some people think so. I just topped my coating with sealant,...
LSP, whether it be waxes, sealants, or coatings; they are not like sunscreen with SPF ratings. I don't think anyone can say what is "best" or has the maximum amount of UV or any other kind of...
When I got back into detailing a few years ago, I too bought a bunch of new toys, including a pressure washer and foam cannon. It's fun to cover the vehicle in a blanket of foam. But I never really...
Seriously though, I dunno. Some claim some LPS darken more than others, but I doubt the effect would be visible on white paint. I'll be interested to...
I agree. You can get the HF for what, $45-50 on sale? While I am sure the Megs unit works fine, it would be harder to use and take more time because it's less ergonomic than a true DA and it has a...
Is it necessary? Considering that the product didn't exist however many years ago, and detailers make paint shiny back then, I'd say no. However, now that it does exist, it's just one more product...
I'd be happy to lose my house if it meant I could have my dog back. Condolences on your loss, and happy to hear you and the rest of your family is okay.
My guess is bee poop. Don't let it sit on your car's paint for weeks, as it can damage the paint. You could try Mike's method for softening dried bird droppings to help remove the spots....
