    First clay job in progress

    Like, O M G, I can't believe what the Clay Magic did to my 6 1/2 year old OEM painted hood and fenders!!! It's like they're made of silk now. Totally smooth, and I mean totally, as in there isn't a dern thing to interrupt the silky smoothness as I was running my hand across the paint. I...

    King Ranch F-150 Leather Conditioner

    I did a client's King Ranch F-150 last week, but didn't want to use an off the shelf leather conditioner on those wonderful seats, so I ordered a bottle of the conditioner from King Ranch's web site. I asked them about cleaning the seats with anything, specifically 6:1 Woolite and water, and...

    Ford King Ranch truck leather seats

    I have a King Ranch truck I'm doing tomorrow, and while I haven't actually seen this particular truck yet, my neighbor has one and the seats are unreal. Is there any special leather cleaner/conditioner I need to use on it? I was planning on using 6:1 Woolite (thanks Scottwax!) and Meguiar's...

    The flyers worked!

    Today I put out around 100 flyers, just in my neighborhood. On about the 5th house, my neighbor says, "Hey, take mine when you're through putting those flyers out." So I finished the flyers, did his car, and got a check for $100. He told me to get hime some of my business cards so he can give...

    Question about putting out flyers

    I'm going to be putting out some flyers this week, and was wondering if walking is the best way, or riding a bike? What method did some of you use? I'll be going to upper-end neighborhoods and since I myself live in a golf course community, I'm going to hit the parking lot there as well...

    Protect-All Quick & Easy Wash - from a noob

    First I want to thank scottwax and all others who have posted on here about how to use this product. I bought some last week at the local Camping World, and used my black Stang as a guinea pig about an hour ago. It does just what it claims to do, and I really like the idea of the "dry as you...

    Why does #26 continue to haze after it's wiped off?

    Hey gang, today I put a coat of #26 on my Mustang. I used a blue YoSteve MF towel to wipe it off, still in the garage. Once I was finished, I pulled it out into the driveway to look for spots I may have missed, and wiped them off as well. I went inside for about 10min, then went back out...

    Full time/part time pros - need your critique

    OK, long story short but since WorldCom laid me off, and the telecom market is in the sewer (way past being in the toilet), I figured there aint nothing better than working for yourself. I've been working on a brochure/flyer and have the front done, with the back being 90% complete. Yes there...

    Eagle One protectant lotion works in a spray bottle

    Hey gang, back before the server crashed I had posted a question whether anyone had ever put this stuff http://www.eagleone.com/products/products.asp?catid=5004&itemid=1030 a spray bottle. No one had, though a few folks thought about "watering" it down with some QD, then putting it in a spray...

    Can I do this? ->

    Hey gang, a fellow Club member has offered to pay me to remove the swirls from his car. It's a '99 Mustang GT convertible, medium shade of blue. I haven't seen the swirls yet, so I don't know how severe they might be. I don't have a PC (yet), but what I do have is a Waxmaster 7" random...

    Why is Z6 leaving a smeared residue on my car?

    Hey gang, if anyone can offer any insight on this, I'd be truly appreciative:) OK, last Saturday night at a Club gathering, I was using Z6 to go over my car. The sun wasn't out, FWIW, and it was around 6pm. Today, in the bright sun shine, I see what looks like a smeared residue everywhere I...

    Anyone ever detail a Ford Escape?

    My wife's car is an Escape, with the plastic cladding on the lower 1/3 of the body. What can someone recommend to get stains/tar/misc crap off of it? It's stubborn!

    Meguiar's Body Scrub vs Clay Bar - any comparison?

    Hey gang, I used the clay bar system on my car once, and wasn't impressed with the results. Perhaps I did it wrong though. Any way, I do however get great results using Meguiar's Body Scrub a few times a year to prep the paint before using Zaino. Would the clay get anything that the body...

    Thoughts on this stuff?

    Has anyone ever heard of Transtech Services Clear Coat ? A few members of my Club have tried it and like it, but I was wondering what the experts here thought of it, or if anyone has ever heard of it. Thanks for any input.
