I use alot of products by Pro Car Beauty Products http://www.prowax.com/ I also use a lot of products by Stoner http://www.stonersolutions.com/. For engine's I use Stoner's wheel and tire cleaner, it works the best!
what about some tricks of the trade?
A chef never gives out their recipe lol
What tricks would you like to know?
Other than chrome polish what's good for chrome wheels? I have 20's and want to keep them top notch. I use windex after I hand wash them and it works wonders(believe it or not) just wondered if it was something else.....
what equipment do you recommend for wax on wax off. Takes me forever to wax a car.
For wheels I use the Chrome Poilish by Turtle wax. As far as waxing I use a tool called a Cyclo, it works miracles and never leaves swirl marks. The only thing is that those tools and pads are expensive, but worth it.
I was in the auto-detailing business for 8 years in my younger days (ran two different shops) anybody that recommeds using turtle-wax products needs a hell of alot more experinece in their trade (that's the sh-t 80 year old grand-dads use because they dont know any better). The cyclo is a over priced gimmicked out piece of junk, if you want something to remove wax, this is a much better option (apply with a foam pad and remove with a microfiber bonnet) to wax a car 100% you are going to have to do it by hand, the orbital is only good for flat and semi flat surfaces impossible to get in all the nooks and crannies.

Wow! So how do you really feel?
ok.. so this is to both of you..
on my maxima i have these "chrome strips" that run on the top of the car.. now the other nycmaxima members who have the 6th gen maxima say that its better just to replace them.. cus they fade made quickly and they cost about $100+ to replace
do you know of any product that will bring it back to the way it was.. if u want pics.. let me know

I dont know what you are dealing with for sure (dont know if its just plastic coated chrome or real chrome) but if their is any chance of slavaging those pieces this will do it.

Good Luck
Sorry if I came on a bit strong, just trying to help, stay away from turtle wax it will reflect bad on your business. If you want to talk shop sometime I'm here, or over at GFOriginally Posted by Galant313
It's ok, I am always open to suggestions. I appreciate the tip. Sometime I will get a hold of you and pick at your brain. So far the products I use has made me the fastest and most busiest detail shoip in my area, so Im making due with what I got. I didn;t take any offense to it, it's cool. Thanks.
what do you guys recommend to remove what seems to be like dried up pollen thats stained the weather stripping on the car and the window sills that prevent water from entering the outside.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ That sounds pretty weird, try rubbing alcohol or denatured alcohol you can get it in any hardware store.....
