I work at a dealership and need a chamois that will work best for drying off a lot of cars (3-4 an hour). I usually use microfiber towels at home, but we have "the absorber" chamois at work....are those probably the best choice?

Have the chance to detail the interior of this horrible Sebring. There is crap everywhere, seats and carpet are trashed and oil covered or something, crud all over the door panels, dash and center console. I'm guessing the detail will take at least 3 hours. Here are some crappy cell phone pics...

I just started detailing at a Honda dealer and was wondering if there are some good shoes to wear that will either repel water well or dry fast. The only think I could think of other than work boots (don't want them) are wake skate shoes since they are made to be worn in the water. Any other...

I have a yellow propel pad that is starting to tear...has a flap hanging on it. i know it isnt very good anymore but it isnt exactly junk and i can use it on other things. is there an adhesive i should use to attach the little flap that is hanging back to the rest of the pad?

my plastic OEM wheel covers on my malibu get really dusty after 1-2 days after i scrub them down. is there any type of protectant or something i can put on them that will help to repel brake dust?

cant find them anywhere around here....looking for those nice ones that spray a stream or a spray really well...they are clear and pretty big. anyone know where to get them locally...or a cheap price online?

This belongs to a neighbor who stopped by and asked if I would clean the interior of his Bonneville. This thing was pretty damn sick. Dirt and crap all over the carpet, like tiny piles actually. Crap all over the door panels and dash as well. Everything came out fine except some salt stains in...

I think my friend has some of this that i can use. im using a porter cable....so if im going to be compounding/cutting with this, should i use an orange or most aggresive foam pad, or should i try a wool pad? also....is this stuff strong than SSR 2.5??

wasnt getting any replies in the main forum, so i'll try here. a friend just bought this truck for 100 bucks..it runs and isnt in too bad of shape mechanically. the paint is just flat faded to hell and there is rust everywhere in the typical spots for the 1st gen S-10's. He brought it...

a friend just bought this truck for 100 bucks..it runs and isnt in too bad of shape mechanically. the paint is just flat faded to hell and there is rust everywhere in the typical spots for the 1st gen S-10's. He brought it over and I quickly washed the hood, clayed it, then tried SSR 2.5...

this is a black plastic gas cap for my kawasaki jet ski....it is really really faded.......how should i go about bringing back the original shine that it once had? the only products i have that might do the job are opt polish, nxt paste wax, and ssr2.5.

I want to try some new curved pads besides my regular flat propel pads that i have. are the lake country pads the only ones that are curved? and if so, where are they sold for the cheapest?

i really dont know much about wool pads...but would anyone have a link to a store with a selection of them to work with my PC w/ a 5" backing plate?? i know they come in different variants like foam pads.....i just want to see what is out there.

what seem to be your favorite polishing/cutting foam pads? i only own a propel green and yellow pad....but i havent really used them yet. once the winter is over...im going to be interested in trying out more pads. all i can think of are lake country and meguiars pads. btw....meguiars pad...
