I was just sitting here bored as hell looking threw post of how all these guys recomend this X product for undercarrages, this X product for engines, This X product for door jambs And so on. if you guys want to no the the true secret to all this is. its called degreaser. I so so many people on here suggesting products because of a label brand or something. Truthfully you really don't need all this stuff. what you need is to learn how to properly dilute your chemicals. per say. most apc's or degreasers can be diluted 10.1 for interior cleaning, 50/50 for motors/ 4 to one for wheel wells and and door jambs! As a pro I actually use degreaser to wash paint off during a decontamination phase. I just had a huge rant and thought i would share. your comments are welcome im sure im gonna get a few!
 
Well Barry... what's your real gripe? :p

Glad to see you not buying into every specialized spray, ointment and lather :2thumbs:
 
LOL.. Shhhh Barry you're going to wreck the marketing scheme's that are aplay on these boards....



Don't listen to this rambling lunitic... You need all those specialty products... Buy often in mass quanities... Otherwise you'll never get a perfect detail I promise



HAHAHA!



;)
 
lmao! thanks grungy. gee's jake now your calling me a ramblin lunatic. lmao im serious ine person uses x product and says its good the whole forum uses it. maybe we should have a thread on what truthfully to buy without getting ripped off! lmao
 
Have to do that on another forum I'm afraid there Barry. The paying sponsors of this site wouldn't really like it if you did that ;) Although I fully agree with the statement..
 
hmmm..... I missed the 55 gallon drum of degreaser on autogeek?



hey, you should do the math and post the results on what you paid for your drum compared to a gallon of some other degreasers!
 
its not that polished and wax what it is is that i see so many people on here using on thing for tires and one thing for wheel wells and something different for jams and something different for in teriors and so on. the truth is properly diluting degreaser will do everything practiclly, next i see people buying these crazy 200- 500 dollars waxes yet its not the wax its whats underneath it and so on. i think we are victems to some serious marketing.
 
LOL.. Barry just calls it as he sees it and I'm better off because of his and other's honesty. Where's Jesse tonight??
 
if your talking jesse from apollo detailing i would love to see his comments on this to. i think we should make this a lets get real thread and have an honest point to pruducts.
 
barry -- I use some ardex products also because their store is about 10 minutes from me, but I'm not sure how to properly dilute new wave. Could you post what dilutions you use for interior, engine, etc? Currently I just use it for the tires at full strength, but I would like to be able to use it for more..thanks for any info you share
 
first off always dilute new wave 50/50 on motors and tires and undercarriage. tires and door jams i like to go 4 to 1 and for interiors 10 to 1 anything else i can help you with let me know.
 
Barry - yes Jesse from Hungary. I'd also like inputs from Scottwax, Autoconcierge, JoshVette and some other high-end folks like yourself.
