I know a lot of people use leaf blowers to help remove some of the water on the outside of the vehicle, but I wonder how an air mover might work? Do they have more force than a leaf blower? It seems like the air would hit a larger surface of the car.

What have any of found to be the best way to dry the tops of larger vehicles? My current drying process is as follows:
flood vehicle
cali water blade
absorber
WW to get smaller water spots
The tops of F250, Hummers, Expeditions, Suburbans just take too long for me. Thanks!

I was reading on the paint care site that one of the member's has done, and he was talking about the different LSP's (wax, sealent, and blends). What blends have some of you used and what do you guys think of them?

Is the following a decent sequence for paint correction and protection? Or do I need another finishing step after the easy on/easy off w/ carnuba?
Wash, clay, SSR2, SSR1, easy on/easy off w/ carnuba, and QT to remove let over residue.
Thanks!
Anyone ever used their products? If so how do they perform? I noticed they've got a Teflon type solution in them made by Dupont. Here is the website: Final Detail Made by Car Buffs for Car Buffs
This is directed towards mainly full-time mobile detailers, but others can chime in as well. How many jobs (washes, w & w, details, etc.) do you do a month? Most of my business will start out being washes in/out and wash and waxes, and I'm hoping to do 150 to 200 a month. Hopefully I can get...
I've recently bought a 5x8 enclosed trailer, and I want to have the inside very organized w/ shelves, bottle holders, etc. Does anyone know where to look for these type of things? I've seen some aluminum ones online but they're way too expensive. I'm wanting to mount some type of bottle...

I'm currenlty doing some car detailing on the side, but will be going full-time starting in June and I'm trying to come up w/ a brochere for my business. I don't want to overload the client with a lot of choices, but I want to have some good wash options for them to choose from. I know I need...
I recently bought a PC and the edge 2000 pad set. This weekend was my first time using it and I really like the results I got from it, but I was wondering if there is a quicker way to apply the different products? The total process (applitcation and removal) seems a little quicker because the...
I'm looking at buying either Meg Hyper Dressing or PB's dressing. Has anyone had any experience diluting either one and how does it look? I was thinking of diluting it 1:1 to make it last longer. Thanks!

After reading everyone's posts about how good PB products are I just made my first order for them from autogeek. I ordered 1 of each: SSR1, SSR2, and polish w/ carnuba blue. I hope their as good as everyone says!

I'm currently using Mother's cleaner wax, and it's a decent product. What are some of your favorite products to use on a basic Wash & Wax package for your customers? Thanks!
I've read some earlier posts discussing a by-pass valve on a water tank, but I was hoping someone could add some more information to what it is, where to get it, and how to hook it up. I think the valve is used to help prevent the water in the pump from getting too hot and hurting the rings.
