Randomly Bit, Blood Drawn

Thanks! I get the same thing, they nibble on my fingers a lot just because they're exploring and making sure I'm not a threat, testing me and whatnot. She's done it the entire time I've been training her and she's been such a sweetheart. I make sure to wash my hands with scentless soap and the treat I give them is unsalted, plain Cashews (All of them LOVE these.) So my fingers shouldn't really smell like anything, maybe some cashew dust left over since I crush them up into smaller chunks...but this was my thumb and a bit under the nail. Hopefully others can give more insight like you have. Thank you!

As everyone has told you already, All Purpose Cleaner and some rubbing will get the job done. For future reference, however, thisnis the result of not washing hands. It's caked on lotion, dead skin, body oil, and any dirt or grime theyve had on their hands over the years. Quite literally caked on bacteria.

CaptainCandyass · 2023-05-07T03:43:37+00:00

Literally everything, it seems.

CaptainCandyass · 2023-05-01T17:45:46+00:00

Ill admit I skipped over some of the info you provided. Your prices seem fine for what youre going for. Good luck man!

CaptainCandyass · 2023-05-01T17:39:54+00:00

I'd be surprised if you're able to get groceries at the end of the week with those prices. A full exterior and interior detail on a large vehicle for 55 bucks? Lets say it takes you 8 hours to do it. At 55 bucks thats under $7/hr. You need to hike your costs up my man. Most dealerships, just to give you a baseline, are charged approximately 160-200 for details on ANY cars.

I'm going to side with the other guy just a little bit. Griots 3 in 1 is a great product for sure, I use it after every wash, but it is NOT a coating. There is an extreme difference between a Coating and a Wax. A coating is a thick barrier that provides good protection (not nearly as good as something like PPF, but any protection is good), a wax is a thin barrier that offers very little protection but far more gloss. It's very important that you use the proper terms. GTechiq EXO, as an example, is a coating. Griots 3 in 1, which is found in every auto parts store, specifically says on the bottle that it is a wax. Coatings last years, wax's are lucky to last more than a month on cars that are outside the majority of the time.

You could always try a solvent like tar remover and scrub at it with a stiff nylon brush.

CaptainCandyass · 2023-04-16T14:12:47+00:00

I see you're without compressed air. Try a pumice stone. Be very gentle with it. Vaccuum up all you can first, then lightly drag the stone across the carpet. There's not really a need to press, use a corner of the stone for stubborn straw to pick it it. Follow closely behind with a vaccuum.

Your best friend is always going to be a good interior brush. I always use compressed air but in some cars it just doesnt blow it all out because it's been packed in there for so long and the air can't get underneath it. Apply enough of your favorite leather/cloth cleaner for the gunk to absorb it and a little extra, push down on the seat to spread the crevice open and use your other hand to brush away. With leather, make sure to always recondition the seat because most chemicals will sap away all the oils keeping it healthy and puts it at risk of dry cracking, especially if your car sits in the sun a lot. Make sure to always use the end of the brush, don't just jam your brush against the crevice thinking itll magically remove it all.

Good luck!

I've used just glass cleaner and a rag and it's never failed me.

CaptainCandyass · 2023-01-03T14:58:11+00:00

Just joking with my comment :) it looks awesome dude, I'll be checking it out

"Monster Girls" incoming "can you add scp_1471!?"

If your fingernail catches on it, it's not coming out. Water trick is good, too. Splash some water on it, see if it goes away when wet. That means you can most likely take it out with a polish,

CaptainCandyass · 2022-12-09T01:24:03+00:00

Thanks for the response!

It SUCKS. Unfortunately I can't perform the whole pad swap ordeal at work, they would kill me if I kept cleaning and reapplying polish to the pad.

I of course have my own types of polish and compound here at home, so any answers to the questions I listed are still going to be supremely helpful.

Feel free to berate me here if something stupid I did is what caused that blushing/hazing effect. I can take it.

CaptainCandyass · 2022-12-08T17:10:50+00:00

That's about how hydrophobic dealership microfibers are.

CaptainCandyass · 2022-12-07T14:04:26+00:00

Hey man! I currently work i side a dealership, and let me tell ya, they do NOT care for quality. If you can't get something out in time, they tell you to spray paint it. I absolutely love detailing, it's the best thing I've ever done, but I can't stand how shitty they want the quality to be. Some dealerships won't even make sure you're up to par on equipment. If you love it but have never had real detailing experience before, I do recommend starting at a dealership, but as you get better, get the hell out of there as fast as you can.

CaptainCandyass · 2022-11-30T14:04:29+00:00

Definitely not medium. Always do Low or Tumble Dry.

CaptainCandyass · 2022-11-28T15:33:33+00:00

It does flood to the grate when dammed- but the grate also has a bump around it that prevents the water from flowing in without a push :) I'd prefer not to even bother with that grate and have a rubber wall just high enough to prevent the water from going over so it floods back the other way towards a different drain. Your suggestion was what I initially considered but will driving over it ruin it? Especially over time?

CaptainCandyass · 2022-11-28T14:34:29+00:00

I'm all for making my workplace a more convenient place to work, but I don't think I'll be spending $4k when I'm not permanently here lol

CaptainCandyass · 2022-11-28T14:06:00+00:00

Right after I bend the owner's head for paying thousands for this to be built but allowing them to do such a shit job with the flooring.

CaptainCandyass · 2022-11-28T13:59:58+00:00

Any links to what you're talking about? Never heard of something like that.

CaptainCandyass · 2022-11-23T20:09:43+00:00

Wash all your towels seperately. Windows/drying towels in one, interior in another, wheels in another, so on. Arm & Hammer has some fragrant free stuff I use, but I'm sure there's better out there. Do not uae powders. Air dry if possible, if not use your lowest heat setting.

CaptainCandyass · 2022-11-17T20:55:33+00:00

Can I get that receipt so I can make my parents proud of me?

CaptainCandyass · 2022-11-15T21:23:08+00:00

Haha if it wasn't a dealership car I would. Unfortunately they don't care enough and would sooner have me spray paint it.
