    Anyone here drive a detailing van?

    Did you have to upgrade your suspension??? I have a 97 astro that I load down every day just about. It's not a cargo astro, it's an LS. I have a 55 gallon tank in the back, pressure washer, generator, I'm guessing there has to be 1000 pounds loaded in the back. My tires have been blowing out...

    Help making a clear coat shine...

    A couple of cars I've done lately have had clear coats on them. I've tried both polish and wax, but I feel like it's pointless to put it on because not much stays on when you buff it off and the shine isn't really there, no more than it already is. Would maybe something like a good paint sealant...

    Thinking about buying a printer....

    One of those cheap $100 ones that I can put some good quality paper in and start making my own brochures and flyers. With the kind of prices that sign companies charge around here it just seems like a better option to just do it myself. Does anyone else do this or know about this?

    Ways of not making a splatter...

    Just recently I purchased a rotary polisher in hope of doing a better job on my clients cars. I stopped using it when I realized that with all the splatter and gumming up of the polish it was not worth my time. I do around 5 cars a day, and time is of the essence. I can't tape the cars, because...

    Is this really worth it?

    A local radio station around here wants to promote my business for $100 a week. This includes 10 weekend advertisments a day, a free detail contest giveaway (5 days a week) which includes 10-15 live mentions where they actually talk about the business. This radio station has been here for about...

    First attempt with Max Wax

    Had a chance to try this out yesterday, which I can say this is probably one of the best waxes I have ever used. This stuff sells for around $35 and now I can see why. It goes on really slick and wet, not like your normal paste wax that dries up like a candle when it's done, this stuff is smooth...

    FLEX PE 14-2 VS The FLEX L3403 VRG

    Has anyone on here tried both of these out? Besides the fact that one is quieter and has cooling abilities, and has lower speeds than the flex L3403, is there really that much more of a difference? One is about a hundred dollars more, but really isn't phazing me as far as performance is...

    My experience with Poorboy's Polish + Carnauba

    I bought this product hoping to save a little time polishing then waxing. I've used this on about 6 vehicles now, and my feelings for it are 50/50. Everytime I've used it it's been applied with a buffer, I notice that when applied in the sun it doesn't spread too well, meaning I am constantly...

    Microfiber Towel Wash help

    What's the best way to wash my MF towels? And with what detergent? What is going to get me the best results? Keep in mind, I will also be washing my regular clothes in the same washer machine. What do you do to keep your clothes from getting soiled? I was thinking maybe giving those MF towels a...

    Pressure washer question...

    I'm looking to hook up this pressure washer in the van, and I was wondering how I should set it up. My pressure washer looks like this model; I'm just worried about the pressure washer being able to take water from my tank. Should I take the wheels off and stand so it's lower? Maybe get a...

    This 4 Runner I did today....

    Was freakin' horrible, the girl gave me her keys so I could take it out to get washed, and at first glance I was like "Oh yeah! I get to wash this tight looking little white 4runner, alright!" But then, after giving a wash with some soap I realized that it hadn't been waxed in probably 3 years...

    Streak Free Windows???

    I'm going to say this is the part where I have no control over. I mean, it seems like the harder I try the worse I make them. Is there anything I can do to make my windows at least better looking? I was wiping down a rear window the other day and it was like looking into a smudge factory, it was...

    Upgrade on Van Suspension...

    My 97 astro has got shocks in the back with no springs. This concerns me because I plan on hauling around a 55 gallon water tank, not to mention pressure washer and generator. I mean, we're talking around 700 pounds of dead weight. Now, I plan on lowering this van about 2 inches, frankly, I feel...

    Bug Etching

    I have this all over my car, and quite frankly, everytime I see it it just makes me want to start crying. For real, my whole car is nicely waxed but once you step around and see the front of the hood, it's like a kick in the teeth. Bugs everywhere, splattered and etched in the paint. What can I...
