www.waxonwheels.ca running a summer business, just want to know your thoughts. there's definitely a few thigns i'd like to add. lemme know!

detailed a friend's moms car. paint was in pretty rough shape from the coin-op brushes. friend's dad vows to never use one again :D. ALL the trim including the bumper was heavily stained with wax, used VMW and pink eraser to get most of it out. (friend did most of the trim and the wheels, i did...

where? i got some from ranney but even that's expensive as hell once you figure in conversion and shipping

i was checking out my friends hood, it's a yellow Nissan NX. the hood was replaced though, and near the bottom you can see a line where a car bra must have been. above that line is very dull yellow paint, below the line is better paint. is this oxidation? or just paint damaged beyond belief...

i spent an hour on the front passenger side carpet alone. ugh. some of the trucks are immaculate save abit of dirt. some have grease rubbed into the seats and god knows what else. ugh.

got my first "real" customer today! my co-worker's husband is district manager for a tire/maintenance company here, he needs 20 vehicles washed, $15 bucks a pop. not huge money, but this could get me some leads, and it'll be easy work, just wash and wipedown the interior.

currently using DACP and #9 for all my prep work. I also have AIO but i'm using that sparingly. thinking of picking up some power cleaner (step above DACP) what are you guys using for prep work?

doing a full detail, do you guys strive to totally take out any imperfections like swirls? or do you just do 1-2 passes with something like DACP and then problem area treat as needed? just wondering because polishing my own and my family's cars it's very time consuming even with a PC to go over...

how much product would you guys use for a hood? I just got my PC so i've been experimenting with it, I work the DACP in until ther'es pretty much no residue on the panel, however i'm not seeing the "powdery" result from the broken down abrasives, perhaps i'm using too much product or not letting...

just wondering what you guys do in order to get door scuffs out, also some of the vinyl has been scratched from past usage of a bad brush I think. a woolite solution does nothing for it, nor does scrubbing with an MF.

I found that if I apply too much lube, then the clay won't pick pu much at all, i find if i jus tapply a light mist it will "stick" better. what about you guys? btw i was kinda pissed to pay 20 bucks CDN for my megs clay kit and see it only came with 100gs of clay. so small :( :(

Hi, I have an order of EX-P on the way. I understand that it is a sealant and contains NO carnauba vs. EX. I'm just wondering what situations would I use it for? from other posts it seems as if the majority of people use EX-P as a topper? what situations would I use it in? I also have...

I'm looking for a good vacuum and deciding between the home depot Rigid model which has 5.0 peak hp and 12gallons (i could get higher hp but 16gallons is getting to be too big), I could also get the vac n blo car vacuum (model VNB-83BA), but am wondering if it's powerful enough to suck water out...

canadian customers ONLY! ordered a PC, backing pad kit, pads, AIO, lexol, 303 from them. order was confirmed on friday april 16th and I got it today tuesday april 20th(burnaby BC to Edmonton AB). :up to them. great service and they even threw in two MF towels. (altho my order WAS 370ish)...

when you're drying, do you notice dirt residue on the towel/MF? while the washmitt takes away most of the dirt, i still get some dirt accumulation on my towel.
