I suggest you go to Walmart and get Meguirs Ultimate Compound, and Ultimate Polish. Also, pick up a few foam applicators, and a soft microfiber. It sounds like you have clay, if you do not, get the...
I got scratches and wiperblade trails out of my windshield glass by using Ceriglass and glass pads, plus boatloads of polishing with my PC for literally hours. It works well for major flaws. But,...
At car shows, I find that a wider lens is the best, because you are typically limited to how far you can get from cars. A wide lens will allow you to get much of the car while being quite close. The...
Yep, gonna be a bit more interesting this year. I am a Hamilton fan, but I still hold out hope for Jenson Button, even though McLaren does not look like it made a big leap. Obviously hoping for a...
As a new(er) member, I completely agree. Where to start, and with what is mind numbing. It is very difficult to figure out where to start, and even though AG has videos, etc, its very difficult to...
Sounds like you are doubtful about what product could work, so my suggestion is to simply use the product Mercedes recommends: the Mercedes Benz Interior Cleaner. Note that they also make a Leather...
Somewhere here there is a post about mixing KHGS and Quick Wax for touch ups. I really like this solution. Basically you add a few oz of KHGS to a small spray bottle of something like Meguirs...
I just cover areas I am concerned about with 3M blue painters tape. Things like pinstripes, raise areas, windshield washer nozzles, etc. For really tight areas, I just do by hand, haven't gone to the...
This something I look for in small business websites: info about the owner/principle. I dislike the 'we' approach, and would rather read about the actual people that will do the work.
I don't think there is anything 'too aggressive' for windshield glass...short of a diamond tipped grinder. I use the Carpro rayon pads, and find nothing else works to get scratches out of glass.
Lots of suggestions, here is what I did. I bought the PC 7424XP value pack, which came with an orange flat pad, white flat pad, a blue pad, and two bonus red pads. I bought Mequirs Ultimate Compound...
I have Gladiator storage cabinets I got from Lowes. Work well, and have held up well. Bought a modular hanging thingy too, and its built very well (for hanging stuff on the wall). It is better...
Acetone won't harm glass. In fact, it is usually stored in glass. Acetone is a solvent for most plastics, and is usually a component of 'paint thinner'. It used to be what was in 'nail polish...
If you are going to try to strip whatever it is with a solvent, you should consider trying several options, rather than just alcohol. If whatever it is isn't alcohol (or water) soluble, you need to...
I have no idea if there is any difference in the performance of the coatings, though I suspect there is. But clearly some of the programs mentioned are designed to be warranties that a customer...
I always got the impression that a dealer coating was essentially an extended warranty or even added insurance for the finish. I have had this on two cars so far. I never requested it, it was just on...
The flow chart you mention is not a bad idea, but in order to do it, you need to understand what your customers want, what they value, and what they don't. Only then can you get the 'menu' right.
