It goes way beyond following instructions... Yes, the physical labor of applying the coating is about as easy as it gets. You basically wipe on a very thin film over the vehicle panel by panel, watching for and leveling any high spots or smears/streaks and you’re done. But the directions say...

Is this the Poly Pro? ;)

I actually know the guy who created this product and worked with him for quite a long time. He's come up with some very revolutionary concepts too. I think it's a neat idea as long as it lasts. Here's a video in case someone hasn't see it before...

Buff Daddy has an incredible selection of buffing pads: http://www.buffdaddy.com/buffingpads

Dealer paint sealants are nothing special. Choosing the right product will depend on what types of vehicles you will be servicing and how often. 1st off, no sealant is worthy of it's warranty. It's usually just marketing hype coupled with an abandonment of warranty. Warranties are usually a...

You shouldn't have to pay a deductible when a 3rd party (claimant) is making a claim. $1000 payout is a drop in the bucket for someone young to receive a cut on her head and damage her car. I hope there's not a permanant and noticeable scar or else it could easily be several $10's of thousands...

Auto Magic Hydro Shine works great. Especially when the car is wet. http://www.automagic.com/waxes.htm

Keep in mind that the Flex polisher circulates in reverse (opposite) from traditional polishers and can a bit harder to control. Anyone that has a rotary polisher looking to test the waters of Dual Action correction should look into the Dynabrade 61379/61384 Dual Action Buffing Head...

The only thing I use my rotary for is as a pad dryer/spinner. You can achieve 100% correction with much less time via DA. Wait til you try the new Meg's M101.....Game Over!

*Approximately what % of Car Washes are using Recycled water? *Which type of Car Wash typically use them? (self serve/tunnel/touchless) *What steps does Recycled water get used in? (soap/protection/spot free/rinse) *How clean is the Recycled water? (filteration) Thanks in advance!

I?m plainly going off your web-site description of what you claim to focus on: ?We do it right?.... not in 2 hours ? sorry. Spending 2 hours buffing an entire car is nothing more than temporarily hiding defects by glazing over them. Which I?m sure you know is not ?doing it right?. As long as...

I wouldn?t raise your prices; I?d spend more time buffing. There?s really no way any kind of quality correction can be achieved in 1-2 hours. I am simply at a loss for words if you believe that you abrade away enough paint to level the paint and restore a high gloss in 2 hours vs. actually...

From your website: Machine Buffing: $50 per Hour. Most vehicles require 1-2 hours for machine buffing. We do it right! From the initial wash and prep to taping up emblems and mouldings and final clean-up, we know how to buff. We were taught by industry veterans like Hank Stott and Rick...

It doesn't matter if I compound and/or do a light polishing. I still blast out all the polishing residue out of the areas that my hand/towel won't ever reach. There's no way of taping off every crack, crevises and body line that your buffing pad glides over/across. The products I use are water...

Paint looks pretty dull & needs a good polishing. Make sure you do the roof too!

Sorry for ruffling feathers and going off on a tangent. Just trying to discuss if a car can actually come clean at a self-serve if you don't use the foam brush.

Again, back to the false understanding of what is acceptable and what is understood in respect to a clean car. I consider a ?CLEAN? car one that doesn?t have a film of dirt left behind after being washed. Just because it?s shiny and reflective, doesn?t mean it?s clean. Regardless of the method...

So are all the touchless washes tricking their customers into believing they're cleaning cars then? What's the point in trying to offer something that's totally bogus?

I agree, but how are touch-free systems able to so-call clean "better" than the method I was instructed on (low-pressure pre-soak)? Especially when tunnel dwell times are much shorter? Are touch-free systems just as challenged when it comes to removing road oils and heavy dirt? Can anyone get a...

I see what you're saying, but if you let the pre-soak the vehicle with low pressure (more concentrated ratio) (not pulling wand trigger), will that substitute the need for friction? I personally don't think so, but the person I've argueing this technique with is insisting that he is able to...
