<HTML>Bud: I agree 100% on everything you said except the respect department. I do see where your point is coming from though. Luckily, I haven't experienced any disrespect or been looked upon as an inferior due to my occupation (though I feel that sometimes compared to my customers.) But that feeling goes away when I remind myself, "I'm a businessman, detailing is the serviby Brian Angelucci - Auto Detailing: Secrets of the Experts
<HTML>Ryan: Bud is right, you can use any aggressive cutting compount of a boat's gel coat. Remember, the gel coat is very thick and durable so you don't have to worry about removing too much or causing damage. For the severely oxidized boats I use Auto Magic's XP Compound (about $20/gal.)

Hi Stitch: Definitely use a water-based dressing as a silicone solvent based will destroy your O2 sensors. Auto Magic (Super Dress-It), Stoner and 3M make great dressings for all rubber, vinyl, and painted parts of the engine.

Remember, polish shines while wby Brian Angelucci - Auto Detailing: Secrets of the Experts
Hi Joe: You may want to consider using "Wet Wax" by Auto Magic, after you have cleaned & polished the paint with a pure polish. Wet Wax is a pure carnuaba wax, with special polymer agents to create a wet look. A pure polish contains petroleum dissilates and natural oils...no wax! The best solutions is to polish the paint liberally so the polish will actually shave off the dead and oby Brian Angelucci - Auto Detailing: Secrets of the Experts
Hello fellow detailers, I am new to this forum but have been detailing for over 7 years now. Here is my question: Has anyone had any experience with an Ozone Generator and if so, how well does it destroy the bacteria and mold odors. Also, are the health risks as serious as I've heard? I'm starting to advance my business with add-on services and heard "permanent odor removal"by Brian Angelucci - Auto Detailing: Secrets of the Experts
