My parents are going to be buying a car soon and about the only car that fits what they want is a Subaru. I can see gas hitting $3/gal soon and they want to get rid of the Mountaineer at 16mpg. Right now they're inbetween a Forrester and Outback. At the car show my dad thought the Forrester's...

I just got the Odor Fogger kit from TOTL. It's the complete kit ($355). I tried it out and a really nasty smelling Grand Am. It comes with a manual to identify and then gives the steps for treatment. Step1- This was a food smell so I took the injector and injected the seats with the...

The secretary at work has chewing gum ground into her seat. It's been there for a month so it's really worked in. The seats are leather so I really don't want to use anything harsh on it. Any ideas?

I've decided to head back to college in Jan. to finish up with my BA and MBA. I haven't decided which college yet, but the two I would go to are 30+ miles away each. Having a truck that gets 15mpg isn't practical and I'm putting off going big on my business so I don't need to haul a trailer. I'd...

I've got a real good opportunity to make some money at work removing odors from vehicles. We've had a problem with minivans/SUVs (what a surprize) that we buy from the auction having a retched stench to them. It's reached the point that it's affecting sales of the vehicles. Our sales manager...

Steve, Have you ever thought about making car scents out of what you already use in your products? I brought some NL, Nattys, and Soap to work to do my truck today and everybody loved how they smelled. One of the salesmen thought the soap was really scent. BTW, the soap is the best I've ever...

I'm in the process of making brochures and have everything done but the back. On the front is just the business name, then it opens up to the price list and I'm stuck on what to put on the back. I'm thinking of some info on dealer paint sealant scams, quality of assembly line detail...

My computer died so I've been gone awhile but anyway, a customer at work was looking to sell his MINT 94 Mustang convertable (V6 :mad: ) to the dealership. Being in NY and winter coming up, it isn't worth much. I talked to the salesman that was looking at the car and I suggested he try ebay, but...

How do these compare?

Where would I buy car wash soap that's used in pressure wash car washes? I'd like to add a pressure washer to my equipment next year and would like to go around to dealer lots charging .50-$1 a car to wash them. There's a couple big dealerships around here, one with 500+ cars, and even at .50...

What does everybody think of those 5 year paint sealants? I know they don't last half as long as they say they do.....in WNY it's lucky to last 3 months. We're selling a sealant package that at least 10-15% of the customers buy that buy new cars at work. The price is $600 and profit is around...

My new trucks paint job is the worst I've ever seen. There's dust in the paint, blotches, and tons of orange peel. I didn't realize it at first but after perfecting the finish, it stands out even more. My first paint job looked better than this. Even the metal has waves in it. It's so bad I'm...

I did my truck last weekend and my hands went numb. Do I need another counterweight? It's so bad that I'm not using them until I fix this problem. I can't imagine the bearings in the PC lasting long like this either. With the regular PC pads I can turn it up to 6 and it's totally smooth.

I've got a 80's Firebird to do this week that has some of the worst oxidation I've seen. It is (was) red. The last and only gloss restorer I used was AM GS-1 and I don't have connections with AM distributor anymore. Would Meg's Color X be what I'm looking for? Or would I just be better off...

I finally broke down and gave in to common sense and am buying an 04 Ranger. I'd love a 325 but my business is picking up and I could really use a truck. I'm inbetween two colors, shadow grey and sonic blue and there's only two trucks in the area with the options I want (FX4 Level II 5 speed) ...

Does anybody offer this for late model cars? Here's my problem. I've got 3 cars and 2 are only driven on weekends, yet I'm paying full insurance on them like they're daily driven. My Mustang has only been driven 4 times this whole year. It only has 18k on it so it's value is much more than an...

I got a call Friday afternoon to detail a Vette's engine for a car show. I didn't realize I was out of degreaser and APC until 1 hour before I had to go. I stopped at a store and decided to try some Foaming Engine Brite after seeing the CD2 results and figured it would be the same. This stuff is...

I've got an offer from the owner at work to buy my SHO for his son. It's got 90k mi and I'm just about ready to tear the whole thing apart and most likely drop at least $5k into it. After it's still a 97 SHO with 90k and worth the same as before I started. So here's what I'm thinking. They've...

Here's another one. A regular customer I see once a year. Since I used Meg's so much on the last one, I figured I'd use Poorboys on this. Before:

Took awhile but I got ahold of a digital camera for last weekend. Anyway, I"m sick of all these $100k+ cars on here......lets get a real neglected cheapo. Here's a 94 Buick Park Ave. 90k, never been waxed and brush automatic car wash only if absolutly needed. This was so bad I had to wet sand...
