what are you using the armor all wheel stuff on?? don't say the tires

for washing go to lowes and buy some of these they are in the cleaning section

they work AWESOME and they will not swirl... and best of all they are only $2.00 each



i did 12 cars on monday and the sponge is still going strong

inside a good carpet brush and some resolve carpet cleaner

also tire swipes to level the tire dressing

for glass use - invisible glass

clay if the customer wants to spend the money - i like Mothers clay much better than meguiars clay

do you have a leaf blower? i love mine for drying cars fast..

a table is great for staging all your products

if you want to get real fancy get some wonder wafers and toss two under the seat when you're done - just ask the customer first because they MIGHT not like the scent

Bass,

Those Proline sponges are great. I like to cut small pieces off of them with shop scissors and use the pieces to apply tire dressing, vinyl dressing, etc. Use the piece once and throw it away. No more bagging up tire dressing applicators to reuse, etc.

This would be an especially appropriate use for sponges that you're retiring from wash duty.

This is the wheel protectant. They claim to protect the wheels from brake dust, dirt, etc. for about 2 weeks.

I tried this product and really like the results. Of course i dont think it works as well as they claim to be but it kept my rims nice and shiny for an extra week. I was my car almost every weekend too, but I like this stuff.

Downside of it is that you have to let it sit for at least an hour for it to settle. It even recommends just having it sit overnight, so i just spray it on before i'm done with the day and let it cure over night.
