<HTML>Joe, The finished results looks incredible!! GREAT WORK Just curious if using an acid wash would have removed any significant amount of oxidation to have sped up the process... Just a thought</HTML>by waynestowels - Auto Detailing: Secrets of the Experts

<HTML>Hi Bill, I checked out the link. I have not tried that product, so I can not comment on it. It looks interesting and I bookmarked it for future reference ( I will have to try it out when I have a chance</HTML>by waynestowels - Auto Detailing: Secrets of the Experts

<HTML>As a painter by trade, a salt test is a test used for paint, not wax. I believe the intentions were good, just the procedure was flawed in that wax and or sealants are for paint, not bare metal. Case in point- When painting, you will have bonding issues if the surface is not prepared correctly(ex. primer, sealers, etc.) Applying paint to bare metal to test for durability would not beby waynestowels - Auto Detailing: Secrets of the Experts

<HTML>Rod, The guys at the tire shop "blackened" the tires..., I didn't even ask, LOL!! I have to go back for an alignment, but if I am not mistaken, just a regular paint spray can..., may have been vinyl paint??</HTML>by waynestowels - Auto Detailing: Secrets of the Experts
<HTML>Rod, That is what I finally did..., I reversed the tires and painted the whitewalls black. (Not even noticable I then cleaned the tires several times, as the inside was much dirtier than the outside (and wheels), then applied dressing to the tires and Klasse AIO/Zaino to the wheels..., looks great!!!

<HTML>I use a water based cleaner and a pressure washer, no scrubbing and amazingly fast cleaning(3,000psi, 2.7gpm), not huge, but not small. IMO, the right size for what I use it for. This is my 3rd one and the first one with "enough power" I use a 15 - 25 degree fan of water and works great on the wheels also (I do not recommend the turbo for cleaning cars, but it does work grby waynestowels - Auto Detailing: Secrets of the Experts

<HTML>I am fortunate that I am able to "pick & choose" who I detail for. I turn down Lots of people..., just cuz it is not my main business and for the reasons stated above...

<HTML>Oh No... Some believe this is not possible with the PC... If you like the PC, you will love the Dewalt DW443 As always, it is best to use a rotary for major defects, however, when the paint is in fairly good condition, I grab the DW443 first and only use the rotary for "big boo boo's" Glad I am not the only one that can make the orbitals work, LOL!!</HTML>by waynestowels - Auto Detailing: Secrets of the Experts

<HTML>I agreewith Anthony's post... Just to add- NXT is a "cleaner wax" product and will remove any of the glazes you previously applied If you are set on using a glaze, you may get better results applying after the NXT.

<HTML>No problem at all..., sooner or later we will connect. Looking foreward to trying out some of your products</HTML>by waynestowels - Auto Detailing: Secrets of the Experts
<HTML>Ketch, I am interested in your products..., just have not got around to ordering... there are soooo many products out there, it is hard to try them all I did try to contact several times in the past, however, we played phone tag and email tag as we were either both out of town at the time or other business commitments..., Sooner or later we will try your products out.

<HTML>Maybe we should all get people to "purchase" our advertising in a "creative way", LOL!!! Looks like someone is trying to "preach" what is best..., AND have you pay cash to read it...., WOW!!! what a plan I bet all the folks that send out flyers in the newspaper would really love it if we all paid for them instead of it being in their advertising budgetby waynestowels - Auto Detailing: Secrets of the Experts
<HTML>Have you tried 5 Star Shine? According to their tests, their product is the best... Lad tested, Navy Approved, Patented Formula, etc, etc... C'mon, LOL!!! Every manufacturer that has a test is going to say their product is the best, just marketing and advertising... I don't mean to bust your bubble, but the "test" was for DetailPlus and financed by DetailPlusby waynestowels - Auto Detailing: Secrets of the Experts
<HTML>Bill, I agree!! A lot of the "tests" are slanted to give the testing party an edge..., Products not applied as directed(such as using ZFX in Zaino, not proper application, the finish not properly prepped, etc, etc...

<HTML>I have to agree with you..., However, there is no "perfect wax test", someone will always find a flaw. I prefer to conduct my own tests to see for myself what works and what is not a quality product. There are soooo maaany products on the market and everyone has different needs and live in different climates that there is not, IMO, a "perfect" wax for everyone...by waynestowels - Auto Detailing: Secrets of the Experts

<HTML>My answer is the same as Mark's..., you beat me to it A cheap fix- try Lysol first to kill odor causing bacteria, it just may fix your problem. It will work many times, for the "hard one's", Marks suggestion is tops- (and an ozone generator added for good measure</HTML>by waynestowels - Auto Detailing: Secrets of the Experts
