I got into a pretty bad crash on my bike last weekend and wrecked it as well as myself. I broke my collar bone in half, tore up my shoulder, and badly bruised my legs. I was doing 30+mph when I went down. My bikes derailer is trashed, seat's tore up, wheel wobbles, and lots of other stuff is...

If anybody isn't marketing to these, they're a great steady account. Think about it, people always die no matter how the economy is acting. They usually have 3-5 vehicles each. These cars must be it top notch shape for funerals so you can count on washing every one every funeral. If you wax once...

After a lot of thinking, I ordered an Mercury Milan today. Tungsten Silver (medium silver) with a Black/Grey interior. I've had Fords forever and know them inside and out. I'm getting killed in gas mileage with my truck and needed a 4 cylinder. Luckly they're offering a 5 speed, which I HAD to...

Has anybody noticed a slowdown in shipping times? When I used to purchace my Xpel kits, they would be here in 3 days from Texas exactly. Now it's 4-5 days. Orders from PAC would get here in 3-4, now it's more like 5. I'm still waiting for an order placed last weekend! I ordered a steam cleaner...

For those looking for a steam cleaner, I just picked up one of these baby's from Sears. Only $70, $30 off!!!! I hope it lasts longer than my Bissle LGCM, it STB after only a year and died on Monday. I just found a free shipping rebate!!! Check under the price...

Here's a V-Rod I did for the owner of the Harley shop I detail for. It's his own personal bike. I put an Xpel kit on the tank/fenders/headlight and detailed it. This thing gets ridden a LOT so I had to polish with IP/FP before I installed the kit to get rid of all the scratches. After the kit...

Has anybody done one of these? I may have one coming up...the guy hasn't driven it in 10 years. What do I use on the outside? I'm thinking S100 polishing soap......or some Wenol and a PC?

I just got done painting my bumpers for my Mustang. I was doing a BC/CC, but decided to go with the original color, which is single stage. I've never prepped fresh single stage paint before. They didn't come out too bad except for a couple pieces of dust because I wasn't in a paint booth. I am...

I'm still looking to get rid of my truck. After getting back from Xpel training, I HAVE to free up some cash to buy my start up equipment. +-$8000 :bigscream :bigscream As of last week I'm also 100% on my own so I'm driving to peoples houses 3-4 days a week and my two wholesale accounts the...

I was just informed that I am going to be moved to the dealerships new body shop in a few weeks. I've been using Hyper Dressing for litterally everything and I'm pretty sure it's not body shop safe. I need to find a body shop safe water based dressing fast. Solvent based is just to expensive and...

Does anybody have one? How sturdy are these polishers? They seem very inexpensive compaired to other polishers. I'm just wondering if they're that cheap, how well built are they.

What would I use to polish the clearcoated metal on Harley's? (Located on the heads/tranny cover/etc.) I've been doing a lot of bikes and haven't found a product and/or technique that gets the scraches out. The bikes come out looking absolutly gorgious but that cleared metal just takes away from...

I just got a Coleman generator and it's WAY to noisy. It sounds like a lawn mower. It was cheap which is why I bought it, I couldn't see spending thousands for a Honda. Is there any way I can quiet it down? I'm thinking about building some type of foam insulated box to mount it in. Or possibly...

I'm going to be in San Antonio from April 25th-27th for my Xpel training. My friends are all broke and I'm sick of floating them all the time so I'm going alone. If anybody is from San Antonio, would you care to hang out/show me around a bit?

Here's a 98 Bravada I've done every year except last since new. She got a gift certificate for a detail shop in town last year and said it looked horrible after they gave it back. Never again she said. It's daily driven, outside 24/7. There was lots of holigrams and some buffer marks from the...

My Bissel S.T.B. over the winter. Don't ask me how, it just doesn't work anymore. I really need an extractor but I can't go much bigger than the Bissel. I have a truck now but I'm looking to get rid of it and will be switching back to a car sometime shortly. I am thinking about this one-...

I ordered some QEW to get me by until I can get a water tank and all that goes with it. My only question about this is how do you do wheels/wheel wells? After I'm done do I go back and clean them with QEW too? I'm going to be doing some work in a couple office parks and don't want to have the...

Does anybody think there is a basis for a class action suit against these companies that sell "5 year" paint sealants? You can't really fault dealerships due to the fact they could have been mislead by one of these companies. I figure the basis could be two reasons- Faulty claim- nothing will...

I've been drawing some blanks on a name. I currently have a dba under "mobile magic" but I think it sounds too "commercial". That and I'd like to possibly open a fixed location so the "mobile" negates itself. I'm looking for something that's sounds higher class and up scale. I have one...

I'm looking for something just for dealer accounts. As everybody knows, they want everything for nothing. It's looking like I'm going off on my own very soon and I've got 3 dealerships wanted me to do cars. What I'd be doing is using a PC with an Orange pad so there's no chance for holigrams but...
