8675309'SS Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Please dont grab detail spray and use it in your foam cannon. According to my Pops, cars n coffee detail spray is not an effective car shampoo. ?? bikeryder007, falcaineer, RayS and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shane@detailedreflections Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Yup. After removing and installing wheels on a clients car, don’t take your gloves off to do something inside the car quickly (like start it) and set the gloves on their cream leather seats. Oops. Luckily it came right off with leather cleaner. mc2hill and falcaineer 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was trying to get it done and wasn’t thinking while messing with the air suspension lockout. I always wear mechanics gloves while removing and installing wheels and just didn’t think of them when I was working.

Captain Slow Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 ^ Looks like it has Rinseless Wash in it. ^ Don't, under any circumstance, use a wheel towel on your black paint. It won’t be flawless afterwards. Ask me how I know...🙄 tlbullet, mc2hill and falcaineer 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RayS Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Anyone notice how similar in color Tire Shine and Ceramic Boost 2.0 are? I didn't either, but I can tell you it takes multiple rounds of Tire & Rubber cleaner to get CB 2.0 off the tire once applied. Weren't we all taught to Read the Label before we use something - It seems that with age, I forgot that lesson. kaj41354, falcaineer and cwp2016nd 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could go by the smell if you don't want to read the label In a related note, do make sure your Tire Shine is completely dry before driving the vehicle. falcaineer, MichaelN, RayS and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kraterer Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Don't disassemble your instrument cluster to repair the heater controls, then reassemble with your Adams flashlight still inside. kaj41354, Marylander, Captain Slow and 4 others 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beemer Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 DON'T assume that ca$h found while cleaning someone else's interior was left for you as a "pre-tip". People get a little touchy about that. Especially family members.... mc2hill, ObsessedDetailer, falcaineer and 2 others 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtymarcus Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 When switching out your foam cannon to the spray nozzle on your pressure washer, make sure the spray nozzle is secure in the gun. A 3200 psi sprayer sends a loose spray nozzle flying at about 8000 MPH. Luckily it didnt hit my window or damage my truck.......errrrr my friends window/truck. I would never make such a stupid mistake. falcaineer, Bscott94 and ObsessedDetailer 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If she does see the bill, say it was on sale so you got a big discount... A “Don’t” I have would probably be: Don’t think you’re going to order one thing and stop there. You’ll put few more things in the cart for minimum free shipping. Then once that arrives you’re gonna see a new sale/product and place another order that also qualifies for free shipping. Positive point of this is, you never run out of Adam’s. 🙄 falcaineer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayS Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Don't get Ceramic Wax on your convertible top, especially after you have spent a couple of weeks restoring to being nice and black. You will find that the amount of effort to get CW off the top will far exceed the effort it would have taken to put the top down or tape it off first. falcaineer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
