    Carpet extractor maintenance

    Does anyone know if I can get the Mytee system maintainer locally or would I have to buy it online? I've had my Mytee hp 60 for over six years now and have never done any kind of chemical flush of the unit. The water pressure coming out of the nozzle has recently gone down so I'm thinking it...

    Headlight Restoration?

    I am wanting to do the headlights on my truck and came across this site Headlight Restoration Kits - Headlamp Restoration Kits - GlasWeld I was thinking of getting their clear coat spray only instead of the whole kit which runs several hundreds of dollars. How necessary do you think that...

    What would you charge?

    For a one step polishing job on a 7x16 white enclosed trailer with moderate to heavy scuffs and scratches on one side? This particular trailer also has the painted roof edges that are in need of the most attention. The condition of the paint is very good minus the damage mentioned earlier. I...

    Is 30 days long enough?

    I had most of the right side of my Tundra painted last month and they said no wax for 30 days. Well, its been a couple days past 30 and want some opinions on whether or not I can go ahead and apply an lsp or if I should wait even longer than recommended? The paintwork turned out really good, but...

    Need opinions on this matter?

    So I have a 200 gallon tank in my trailer that holds all of my non-spot free water that comes straight from the garden hose. I also have two 26 gallon tanks that I use to hold spot free water for final rinses. I keep one in the trailer and the other one in my garage at the house. For the spot...

    Buffing recently painted panels?

    This is probably a silly question to ask since the paint is wetsanded and buffed at the body shop, but I have to ask anyways. The paintwork is very good, but in the right sunlight I do see the trademark body shop induced swirls in my white paint. Can I proceed to correct these areas now or...

    Method of dressing wheelwells and engine compartments?

    I see alot of guys here using Meg's hyper dressing for these areas and would like to know how you go about applying the product? I usually don't dress wells or engine bays(just clean them thoroughly), but may start doing so. For the wells, do you spray them directly and spread with a towel or...

    One-step product application?

    I would like to hear everyone's method of applying one-step products (KAIO, poliseal, D151, etc.). Assuming a DA is used, how thoroughly do you work the product on the finish and about how long does it normally take you to apply the product to a medium sized car, not including the time needed to...

    Meg's Ultimate compound?

    I went to Autozone last night to pick up a Clay Magic kit and saw 2 bottles of the Ultimate compound on the shelf. After trying the 105 amd 205 products recently and being very pleased with them, I decided to add this to my arsenal as well. I really like the micro abrasive technology that Meg's...

    Meg's Shampoo+ vs. Meg's Hyper Wash?

    I'm looking to order either one of these, but am not sure what the real differences between the two are. I am contemplating also purchasing a Foam Cannon that comes with some DP shampoo, but would eventually try whichever Meg's shampoo I decide to go with once the DP is depleted. Which Meg's...

    Buffing off Klasse SG?

    I think I will be using this later on today on a client's Infiniti after claying and was wondering if it would be ok to spritz OCW or Sonus detailing spray to help buff off the SG? IME with SG, it can be hard to remove fully when dry buffing even when applied thin and streaks will show up under...

    Meg's Wheel Brightner not just for wheels?

    I find that using WB on wheelwells works wonders. After spraying the wells with a 4:1 dilution, I let it sit for no more than 30 seconds or so and proceed to pressure wash it off. Afterwards, I can rub my finger on the inside of wheelwells and not get any film of dirt on it usually without...

    Wetsanding to match factory orange peel?

    I had the rear passenger door and bedside painted some time ago on my 2006 Toyota Tundra and the texture is just slightly off compared to the oem paint (slightly more orange peel on repainted areas). A few weeks after it was painted, I wetsanded the rear door below the body line, but above the...

    Looking to team up in the Orlando area

    I've been detailing part-time on weekends since early 2007. I pretty much bought all high end detailing equipment from the get-go...Pressure washer, air compressor, buffers, DA's, generator, carpet extractor, steamer and all other associated tools and products. I tow all of this in a 6x12...
