Eswear

Have you tried some 0000 steel wool and glass cleaner as lube? That worked for me with some bad water spots.

I was about to post something about this and decided to search instead, glad I did lol. Yeah I'm getting the site not secure messages also. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't the only one.

Thanks for your input guys!!! It made the most sense to me to use it the foam cannon since we let that dwell on the paint for a decent amount of time.

Welcome to the forum buddy!! This place is great for info and the people are awesome!

Did you buff it off after wiping it with the gray towel? The suede towel is to level it and you should buff it it with the plush polishing towel that was in the kit. I think that’s what happened.

When we bought my wife's Honda Pilot (used) the finance guy insisted on us having it and I told him absolutely not. He asked why I didn't want it and I told him I detail cars as a side business. He didn't bring it up after that lol. Like Adam said on this post, detailing a car is like therapy for me so I wouldn't want to rob that from myself.

Do you guys use the foam cannon to do part of the strip wash? I usually use a strip soap (from another brand since I got a lot for father's day lol) in the foam cannon and in the bucket. I'm wondering if just using it in the cannon would be enough since I can let it dwell on the paint for a good chunk of time.

They told me it wouldn’t effect performance, the replacement bottle they sent has the same thing. If it works the same I’m not going to worry about it. Chalk it up to the nature of the product.

How do you guys clean your tires? I’m dabbling in trying this out as a more efficient way to wash but I’m worried about the tire cleaning suffering because of it.

I'm sure you could but I don't know how long it would take to clear it from the lines though.

I can definitely have my stuff more organized and set out to grab easier. Thanks for your input Dan. Totally random question, what would you recommend for a ton of water spots on the glass? I was able to get it off the paint with a diluted acidic wheel cleaner but it didn’t work as well on the glass.

Yeah an express detail is more of what I was talking about, it seems like I’m pushing 5 hours easy and that’s without shampooing the carpets or seats. Granted I do this as my side hustle/hobbie I wanted to know if I was really falling behind or what the general expectations were on how long it would take.

I'm curious to see how long it's taking you guys to fully detail a car. It's taking me like 6 hours from start to finish. I'm just wondering where I can become more efficient. Thanks!

I have a white 1988 Rx7 10AE that I'm doing detail with paint correction that I will try the PS and G&G combo on, I will post the results once I'm done.

Thanks everyone for your input and advice. That’s why I like this forum board.

I’ll have to practice on some personal cars before I’ll do it on customer’s cars. She was very happy with how it turned out so that’s all that matters.

I would have if I felt more comfortable doing it. I haven’t done any wet sanding so I didn’t want to risk it.

The hood was the worst part, I spent like 2 hours claying it.

This stuff is tough as hell to remove lol. Still plugging away at it though

The front and hood have a ton of rock chips so those big spots are them.

I searched and found some posts with some ideas but the ones I tried didn’t work. Im doing a car for a friend and they painted some patio furniture and got overspray on a good portion of it. The paint is not is great shape so it’s not coming off all the way unless I wet sand it but I don’t think they’ll want to pay me for that lol. I’ve tried claying it with no luck, I also tried some acetone in a small non noticeable spot and it still didn’t come off. The pic I uploaded was a part I did with the orange pad and spray able compound. It looks good but you can still see some overspray. Any suggestions? I’m going to call the friend and let them know that realistically this won’t come all the way off.

What do you guys use for larger bottles? Just curious to see what you guys are using.

After doing some more reading I came to this answer also, I was in the 3-4 speed area when I was getting stalling. I will try 5-6 next time around.

Anyone have issues with their SK 15 stalling fairly easy? I know i barely put any pressure on it and the pad stalls, I made sure to have it level and it still seems to stall. Any troubleshooting tips?

G&G is more like meguairs hybrid ceramic wax, I haven’t used anything in the Adams collection that makes the paint feel the same way. I use it as a topper for waxes and ceramic coatings. The only draw back is that it requires an 8 hour cure.
