This is the new logo I'm thinking about using. (small, black and white version). As you can probably guess, the design was "inspired" by a particular product's logo. Do you see any problems with using this design? I have a color version but I need to find a new color scheme for it. PM...

I would like to "try" a more aggressive product than DACP with a PC for scratch removal. Has anyone tried thes products with a PC or by hand(Scottwax)? 3M SUPER DUTY RUBBING COMPOND HEAVY CUT 39004 (sounds dangerous) :scared 3M PERFECT-IT III RUBBING COMPOUND 05933 Thanks

I have to wash and wax a grocery-getter that I haven't seen in six months, tommorrow. I'd like to save some time, so instead of going with clay, DACP, carnuba, I'm actually considering just going clay then cleaner wax with a Meguiar's burgundy pad on a PC. Has anyone tried an agressive...

:( Well after my first spring and summer in business, I've decided to pack it in. Things have not gone as planned, mainly due to me not being able to give a new business as much attention as it needs because of my crappy full time job. I'm pretty sure that the business is out there and...

Thanks to everyone who was of assistance. PM me if you would like more information. See ya!

With all the endless discussions about PC counterweights, I have to suggest that EVERYONE with a PC using ANY backing plate and 6" pads or larger, invest $1.99 and go get the 6" counterweight!!!! It makes a world of difference in speeds over "4". There are now zero vibrations. If you...

:bounce I just got my order of Jacques Villeneuve (Sonax) 2 in 1 shampoo in the mail and the receipt says that the Jacques Villeneuve products will be carried by Canadian Tire "this spring". Since they aren't there now, can I assume that this is Spring 2004? Regardless, it will be...

I have to go look at a customers' Ford Windstar tonight to give them a quote on an interior only cleaning including carpet and upholstery shampoo. They describe it as "very dirty", so what would you charge, worst case scenario? (I'm thinking of tacking on an extra $30 so I can rent a real...

Do not make a great big sign with your prices on it. The only people that like to see this info. is your competition, like me. This guy saved me a phone call in which I would pretend to be a customer and proceed to find out what he offered and how much he charged. If you post your prices...

Has anyone used Meguiar's #66 Quick Detailer(one step wax) and Mother's Cleaner Wax? Can you compare the two? Which is more agressive, more durable, better shine, easier application? Which do you prefer as a one step product for dealer jobs? Thanks

I'm thinking of getting a new detailing truck, I like this one:;)

Mostly interiors, nothing spectacular. I'm getting ready to add them to a gallery on the website so I'm looking for any feedback, good or bad. Do you think they are appropriate before and after pics for my business? http://www.geocities.com/cmorrisse/images/sample1.jpg...

Just wanted to relay a bad buying experience for your benefit. I just ordered the wax test from guru reports online for $9.99, when I completed the credit card transaction, it added $41.57 in shipping. I am trying to get them to cancel the order now but they don't reply to emails and don't...

Does anybody want to provide some input on what different waxes and sealers look like? You know, if you had two pick a couple of words to describe how a wax or sealer makes the finish look. I think it would help (me anyway) in choosing products to get a desired effect. Here are a few that I'm...

Bonehead move # 1: Locked myself out of the truck. Bonehead move # 2: Used a very sharp coat hanger to get in. Silver Lining: Now I can practice my paint touch up and wet sanding. Here are the before pics. Any suggestions? I was going to fill with touchup paint then clearcoat, sand with...

I just had a "lightbulb moment": Has anyone ever tried one of those pump-up pressurized garden sprayers for applying chemicals like carpet cleaner to a large area? I would think it would give you great coverage and save a lot of trigger squeezin'. If you could regulate the flow, I'll bet you...

Just had an idea: Has anyone considered showing customers test panels of different finish options? If you had a small section of a body panel from a scrap yard divided into three sections and finished with 1. a one step wax, 2. a paint cleaner, swirl mark remover, polish and carnuba, and 3. a...

I keep 2 oz. bottles of Degreaser, Vinyl Dressing, Carnuba Wax and Odor Eliminator in my truck at all times as well as a bottle of QD, a microfibre cloth and a Califonia duster. At stop lights, I detail the dash, steering wheel, or anything else within reach that looks a little dusty. I...

Having a hard time getting a light grey carpet clean: There really aren't any stains just some heavily soiled areas. 1st attempt: Brushed thoroughly with a stiff brush, vaccumed. Sprayed with simple green 1:5 ratio and brushed again. Let set for 10 minutes and extracted with hot water...
