Does this occur regularly? Do you find many of your customers have a hard time either dropping off on the weekdays or complaining of hassles getting someone to follow them to your shop to give them a ride back? It seems to me this would come up often and I was wondering if anyone had...

When people refer to one-steps I get the impression that these are done fairly quickly (saw 40 minutes/car mentioned in another thread), not as many passes as say a polish for correction work. That they're not meant to remove all swirl marks, but just to add some more depth and gloss to...

Do you all check the weather and reschedule someone if it's going to rain the day of (after you've finished)? Even guys with shops can chime in. Thanks

Looking under the hood of my vehicle the other day I noticed clear coat failure on the lip of the fenders that bolt it to the rest of the body. This got me to thinking, would using a shampoo with wax in it really leave a light coat of wax on these surfaces that I don't normally hit with LSP...

I was wondering if glazes under a wax like Collinite 845 would decrease the adhesion or durability in some way? Or would the glaze still be looking good as long as the wax is there.

I have Leather Master's kit which has their foam cleaner and their protectant for heavy cleaning. But I want something that I can spray onto mf and give leather a quick clean of spills and food, etc. I have griot's interior cleaner for other things and it claims to be safe for vinyl and...

With these perm/semi-perm nano coating products I have a few things that I feel could cause a concern. Let me know if I'm way off base 1. Since the demos I've seen make the paint slightly darker/deeper color, what happens when you need a repaint of some panel. The paint is tinted to the...

Hi, I' just want some reassurance before I buy the McCullogh 1275 unit for steaming interiors, emblems, wheels, engines, etc. I just want to make sure that the heat won't harm any plastics or carpets. What are some tips to avoid any damage? The reason I ask is because a long time ago I tried...

I need to get some of this off a car tomorrow and though i've searched I couldn't find much on what solvent I should have available as a last resort. Should it be lacquer thinner or paint thinner or what? I wanted to have some on hand just incase no other methods work. The car is a newer...

When I use my PC on speed 5 or 6 for 5-10 minutes it gets super hot at the spindle. To the point where I have to waste time removing and cooling my pads so I don't cook them (did this once already). Is there something I can do to reduce this? I dont think I put excessive pressure on the...

I'm basically wondering about the consistency of the product. I use spray wax for quick touch ups, around emblems, etc. I wanted something that's going to hold up as well as my main LSP on the cars, which Meg's regular red bottle spray wax won't do. So can Optimum fill the gap?

I was looking at the options to do paint chip repair and the Applied colors kit, which looks very nice, contains bondo spot putty. The idea is to fill before painting and I suppose the bondo shrinks less than paint so youll get a better total fill. In the kit, they have a chemical used to...

I am starting to see some small dots of clearcoat failure on this daily driver toyota. They don't need it to look super, but would like the failure to stop where it is now and not spread and in my experience it can't be stopped with LSP's. Can OC stop it and keep it from spreading?

I'd like to see this thread turn into a reference for these types of LSP's. I'll try to add them to this first post as you list them. Collinite 845 is one I've read is ok on trim if wiped off before dry. How about sealants too...

Where can I buy either of these or something similar (Zaino blondes are expensive though)? I hear theyre really great but can't find the CBT anywhere online and the DF I've read people have issues ordering straight from them and I don't think PakShak carries the DF anymore...

Anyone try something like this? Pre-Fresh Spa & Pool Water Fill Filter You could even hook it up to your power washer. Says it'll flow 2.5GPM. A guy on a car forum I am on tried it and claims it's been working for him for a year.

How do you remove the "shadow" left behind after a decal is removed? I am thinking that it needs to be polished out to level the surface but I want to check here first. Thanks.

I read on another forum that someone was having luck doing this. I'd like to give it a shot, but just wanted to ask opinions to see if it would work and if you would do it by hand or machine? Could it remove wiper streaking? I also have some Meg's deep crystal step 1 paint cleaner that I...

So I'd like to do a few cars here and there for some extra money but I am having trouble with pricing. Basically I am wondering how to charge enough but also feel like the customer is satisfied. For example, a basic wash and wax plus interior vacuum and wipedown would be $100-120, which is a...
