my attitude has hardened a bit over the years towards people who make a mess at my wash. However, I still recognize the janitorial aspect of this business and smile as I clean the mud and trash. Save the anger and hostility for the wife during your 'no-no' time.:D

The Flex spins opposite of what I was used to but after 10 or so buff jobs I've gotten to like it. I am buffing cars faster and better than ever and with no hologram swirls. I used to dread buffing certain vehicles but no more; my love of buffing has returned and is greater now than it ever...

swimming or hiking or driving (40 min commute daily).

My PS has always been aerated. Need to reprogram some wash recipes then test!

I got the security 'door' w/medeco lock over my cleanout door hinges on IVS vacs when new; never had a problem.

What product is Toluene in? Can I go to the hardware store and get it? I have used "graffiti remover' by Simoniz. Maybe it contains Toluene; not sure.

Just buffed a black Jetta covered with sap stains. Beautiful result with the Flex. Going up on buffing prices, as I am the only one in my area offering swirl free buffing.

Not sure about that. I say try some sfr in a trigger bottle! Also, I use this trick to clean and sanitize my tub in my 'mans bath': I fill the tub with 2-3" of hot water, add a couple glugs of household bleach and let it sit a couple hours. Then I drain and rinse and it all sparkles, even...

Yes I have titrated my soaps but admit I don't do it as often as I should. Cars are coming out good (I see them every day while on-site) and I'm using a reasonable amount of chemical, so I leave it alone. My first p.s. pass is heavy and the next one very light. I get very good results with...

I have been thinking of doing what Bigleo did in boosting up the presoak strength and eliminating one presoak pass. I wonder if the dwell time of one cycle of soap (10 sec after it's applied) will be adequate. Also I have thought of 'stacking the chemicals' like high ph soap then low ph foam...

I was getting a bad feeling inside every time I scheduled or performed a buff job (snap on rotary buffer). Then I switched to the Flex. It has brought the joy back into my detailing life. Now I am turning out the results I like and want with no swirls. I still feel like I can use the rotary...

That makes sense.

The repairs I have seen are nothing to write home about; still can see the chip or bulls eye and it just looks like a visibly repaired spot. It's not a service I'd feel great about offering, personally. I'd rather do things that make a bigger visual improvement like headlight restoration and...

Wash B for sure. And anyone who says that the customers will learn that it brightens up when they pull in are not looking from the customer point of view but their own as the operator. That's a mistake.

What do you mean by #6? If 1 is down you still have the other?

I would run it. Thanks for the replies. Good info so far.

U-Haul wants to put a dealership on my lot. Should I do it? Yes or no and why/why not??? Thank you!

Mine are from APG (not on a laser) and are about $500 new. They can be reprogrammed in some cases; you may want to check this.

A push is needed to convince the motoring public that a dirty car is gross. It relects poorly on your self image. It makes people want to un-friend you on facebook and no longer send u texts. We can't say you'll get cooties; that's out-of-date terminology.

Start with a list of pros and cons; environmentally better, faster, vs. the cost which is the main objection. Throw in some spiffs (wheel cleaner, chamois, etc) and a couple 'free to try' tokens and go see them in person.
