    Re: What is your method for using a drying aid?

    GD Method with Uber (bought D114 but haven't used it yet). Panel by panel, spray D156 then wipe it off (which also dries). Flip towel to dry side to buff.
  3. Re: Some of you guys who are charging so little, how do you guys do it?

    1) Get customers at whatever rate the market will bear

    2) Pay that guy $90 to detail cars

    3) Profit

  4. Re: Glue like substance on both painted metal & plastic

    Think it's likely glue and not sap. Comes down straight from license plate area, as if something had been glued into place and the glue ran.
  5. Re: Glue like substance on both painted metal & plastic

    Tried a generic fabric softener sheet; didn't help.


    Tried Magic Eraser; didn't help.
  6. Re: Glue like substance on both painted metal & plastic

    Isopropyl alcohol had no real effect.
  7. Re: Glue like substance on both painted metal & plastic

    Does sap dry almost white like that? Would it drip down like that? The drips are why I thought it was something like glue.


    Have not tried a tar remover. Is TarX the best one?
  8. Glue like substance on both painted metal & plastic

    2006 Prius with gray metallic paint. Has some glue like substance on the metal hatch near the license plate and on the adjacent plastic bumper. No idea what it is or how long it's been there.

    Re: Iron-X on bare metal?

    Any when those wheels get scratched up, there's now bare metal exposed. Not going to repaint unless someone is paying me to do so, but don't want to make things worse either.

    What about on the cheap steel wheels many econoboxes have?

    What polish & wax have you been using?

    How have you been polishing? By hand?

    Re: Question about Opti-Lens

    I was thinking of doing clients' cars, and wanting to maximize timespan before problems arise. If a little layer of Opti Seal extends the life of the lens, so be it.

    How long after applying Opti...

    A master list of "sun friendly" products would be very useful.

  16. Re: EXTENDED! 20% Off + Free Shipping Over $195 AND a Free Gift Valued at $50!

    It was an audiobook of The Art of Detailing, which I would want in print if at all. Can't use an audiobook as a reference. I'm guessing they were just stuck with a bunch that weren't selling.

  17. Rinseless with distilled water = no need to dry?

    In another thread, someone said they used deionized water to mix their rinseless washes so that they wouldn't need to dry the car. The water just evaporates without leaving water spots.

  18. Re: EXTENDED! 20% Off + Free Shipping Over $195 AND a Free Gift Valued at $50!

    My "free gift valued at $50" was something you're selling for $13 which comes free with orders over $250 (my order was $235 before discount).


    Not happy.

    Re: Rags to Riches

    The only color coding I do is black towels for wheels & tires.


    Other towels are "coded" by softness. Have a ton of general purpose towels bought at HD & Costco used for interiors, rubber trim,...

    Do you put wax or a sealant over the Opti Lens once it has had time to cure?

    I read the idea to use a full bucket of water attached to bungie cords to weigh down your canopy and keep it from moving.

    Re: A long lasting headlight lens protectant...

    I, personally, don't plan to guarantee for 2 years. But I would like something that actually lasted that long or longer. Much easier to get referrals if customers are happy with you.

    Re: Optimum No rinse mixing ratio !!!

    That strong might strip wax.

    Pour the 32 oz into an empty gallon jug. Fill it the rest of the way with water. Shake. You now have the proper proportion.
  25. Poll: Re: Which rinseless wash? ONR, ONRWW, CG Ecosmart, DG w/AW, Meg D114, or 3D?

    Pnnacle was $25 for 64 oz; $80 for 128 oz; but they sold out of the 64 oz.
