It's now in the works. I got 3 PMs asking me to do the same thing. It'll be done by Monday. There may be a pop quiz on Tuesday. Exam on Friday.

I'll post the products that I use to and some best for the bang ones. I will also put up links for the stores I recommend and I'll get an HMT code for a discount cuz I know we are cheap here.

This sound ok?

It is really good. I use it sometimes if a customer is just wanting to sell their car. After the first wash though, the swirls reappear.

I'd appreciate a write up as well, I've been thinking about doing a motorcycle detailing business, I always get compliments on how clean my bike is, how the spokes look etc. But I don't know if I know all the products good enough to charge people to do it on their bikes. Plus people are extremely picky with their bikes I know I am, and the poser *** guys with big dogs and iron horse bikes have to get their ---- done somewhere.

why are the headlights still hazy? That plasti-x product works nice for that stuff.

Truck looks wicked clean afterwards though. And I too enjoy these threads.

Well, other than the water freezing.......no. My work hours change a lot. 10am-4pm. I'm actually busier because no one wants to do their own in the cold. I raise my prices to in the winter to compensate for the hours missed. The big job become less and I do more wash/vacuums.

I can still knock 4 of these out at 50.00 a piece in a normal day.

Thanks bro.
I ran out of time today plus he's getting rid of the brush guard so I told him I'd take care of them in 2 weeks when I do his wifes CR-v.

PlastiX is good but I have a Wolfgang headlight kit. Here's a link........

I can knock out the lens in 20 minutes with this.
