    hey man, on the way to the clients place he called me and canceled, so I turned around and came home back to bed since I need some sleep from the last couple of hectic weeks and lack of sleep, not to mention a late night with a lady friend...lol It was worth the sleep to me...it starts all over again tomorrow with 10 hour days through saturday, and then sunday for 6 and more detailing lined up for next week! Then I have a few cars to get ready for an import show later this month, so yeah, I slept in today...LOL

    go wax your left fender with divine and your right with DODO and let me know what you think...

    That is TOO fricken funny, I just did each fender and a door - one with Mystery the other with Blue Velvet.

    The SW is still my preference. DoDo is a tad harder to remove.

    Have you ever heard of a liquid SW???

    That was me. Our shop applies SW Crystal Rock on average about 3-4 times weekly on cars we see. Our customers love the product, I love the results and the customers dont mind paying a little extra to have their LSP be an $1100 bottle or canister if you will, of CR.

    THATS HOW STEAK IS DONE!!
    Now, a question of etiquette - as I pass, do I give you the ass or the crotch?

    Yeah, I'm just curious. I've been using Zintage, Crystal Rock, Mystery and Divine for a while and I've never seen SW in a bottle - liquid form. I've always heard and purchased SW in "pots" or, in the case of Zymol, a "chest" - that's what had me curious. Zymol cut off my Vintage supply when they discovered I was a business, Bastards!!! I'm currently giving DoDo a shot as well as Migliore'. If I decide to stick with Migliore' - I can already see DoDo isn't for me - I will likely do their Competizione' to replace Mystery and continue use of CR and Divine.

    Our pricing menu quotes $1800 and up for services requiring application of Divine or CR so, cost for the LSP doesn't bother me as much as the cleaning fluid. I use the fluid on most every car whether my LSP is CR or Concorso. So, although a few three coat applications of CR does see the pot empty fairly quickly, using the Cleaning Fluid on a few lower priced jobs starts to dig into margins when price of the entire service is only $600 or $700..

    Hey man!!!! So, I let the two set up over night and I just went out - like a kid waking X-Mas morning!!!! The DoDO actually feels and beads pretty nice. But, it doesn't compare to the sheeting that SW provides. Actually kind of impressed. But, it is hard to get off and you've a pretty short window to do it. I don't know that the savings is worth the hassle??!!

    Yeah, I've spoken to Richie and Rich about it. I may give it a shot. I just want to see how they do over the next few months after the initial, "Something New" wears off. I have heard pretty good things about their pads. I'm currently giving Scholl's pad a run. I Must say, I still love my PFW - don't think I'll let them go!!!!

    Someone mistook my post in regards to SW being in liquid form. I refer to it sometimes as a pot, bottle, canister, container etc. SW CR comes in one form. The one we all know and love. Sorry to have confused you.
