    Re: Headliner disaster...suggestions?

    Low pressure and work quickly. The steamer gets it much less wet than a spray bottle

    Re: Headliner disaster...suggestions?

    At least its not blood.

    I would use a steamer but you can try lightly spraying with stain remover and lightly rubbibg with brush and towel.

    Re: Cleaning engine bay?

    Most dealerships use a garden hose to clean the engine on a used car built after 2000. You will be fine with a spray bottle and rag.

    Re: Looking For A New Polish

    I agree Griot's BOSS is good. But professionally I use Meguiar's more than any other for paint correction. Reasonably priced and you can find it anywhere, including Harbor Freight. I think you...
  6. Re: Best source for custom printed business card license plate.

    If its aluminum it should be pretty light. I think a little duct or masking tape loop on the back would keep it in place long enough for pics and video.

  11. Re: Which product do you still use by Chemical Guys?

    No I am sincerely asking how many towels people generally have. I'm a pro so towels are my #1 tool.
  12. Re: Which product do you still use by Chemical Guys?

    I just grab a clean towel when in doubt. I estimate that I have 50 glass towels, probably 150 drying towels (bought by the case wholesale from TRC), 60 polish removal towels, 30 rinseless wash...

    Mine is to actually try to do better at online marketing. Most (all?) of my customers are word of mouth referrals.

    Re: Air compressors

    Yes that would work. I'm not trying to convince you to buy a steamer, but it has a lot of uses around the house also. It's unbeatable for cleaning the bathroom, tiles, shower door, etc.

    Iron decon is not cheap. Clay lube is cheap. I can't see using iron decon as clay lube. That's probably 4X as much iron decon as you need to use.

    You will need a compressor that size to adequately supply the Tornador. For just tire maintenance and pads you could use one much smaller.

    How much air it delivers is the important part for a...
