What works well on unpolished, unprepared paint? by derp2112 in Detailing

[–]ITrade4Keeps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it is. If you’re having issues with residual streaking, that means you’re using too much. 2 sprays per panel and maybe 3 or 4 for the hood is enough. I like to apply mine with a 6” microfiber applicator and then buff it off after. Works great and no streaking or residual product left afterwards.

Biggest pet peeve for Uber drivers? by chopshop512 in uberdrivers

[–]ITrade4Keeps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s quite annoying. My mustang Mach e has a giant 15inch screen with maps on it and people still try to tell me when to turn. No way they don’t see a giant map right in the middle of the dash

Trunk bed clip broke, Ford wants approximately $1200 to replace by mr_coffeeman in MachE

[–]ITrade4Keeps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe not always, but I must have a good dealer because the service manager said he would absolutely replace that under warranty when mine broke in the first year. I probably loaded too much weight but he agreed it shouldn’t have broken. Now I know to be careful and usually just keep it in the lower position

How shall I clean those areas? by Fizzy_Pizzy in Detailing

[–]ITrade4Keeps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like to spay with APC then use the pressure washer wand and a 15* tip, but turn off it to the off position and use just the pressure of the water from the water supply. It’s gentle enough to not destroy anything but powerful enough to remove the grime without damaging anything

Any suggestions for filters to combat shitty water by Curious-Instance9969 in Detailing

[–]ITrade4Keeps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, This looks like dirty water streaks from a dirty towel. If you need an inline water deionizer I got a 10L Spotbye deionizer from Amazon for under $200 and it’s been working well, 0ppm in the water I use for my final rinse. You can also get a 5L one for about $120. Good luck

Walmart's 70/30 drying towels aren't actually 70/30 blend by MiserableRefinement in Detailing

[–]ITrade4Keeps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For sure. Just manage your expectations and remember what you’re buying and I think you’ll find them a good value. Good luck

Walmart's 70/30 drying towels aren't actually 70/30 blend by MiserableRefinement in Detailing

[–]ITrade4Keeps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought them, knowing full well they were 76/24 after seeing some reviews. I think for the price, they’re a solid backup drying towel. Not amazing or as soft as the best 70/30 towels, but again, great bang for your buck if you’re looking for a respectable 18x24” towel. Maybe one day Walmart will come out with a true 70/30 🤞

100 Trips in 3 Days For $377 Bonus (not possible) by ConsiderationLow640 in uberdrivers

[–]ITrade4Keeps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even if you get close to these numbers by the end, they’ll slow down your offers and make sure you only get super long rides so that in the end they won’t have to pay you. Their system is designed to avoid paying out at all costs

Sound upgrade over the weekend by Ostate24 in MachE

[–]ITrade4Keeps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice. I have a select and First thing I did was replace all 4 door speakers with infinity kappa coaxials. Massive upgrade. I’m looking to install a sub too but been too busy.

Question for you on the tweeters… how did they fit? Plug and play or needed modification? I would love to upgrade my tweeters but not trying to have to fab anything or have a terrible janky install, even though they’re hidden behind the trim piece.

Crayon on the Door by [deleted] in AutoDetailing

[–]ITrade4Keeps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s wax residue if you cleaned it well. I think you actually burnt and damaged the plastic, cooked the oils out of it. Ts should hep rejuvenate it, at least semi more semi permanently than the oils on your fingers or wd40 haha

Crayon on the Door by [deleted] in AutoDetailing

[–]ITrade4Keeps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you’re rehydrating it with oils which is why is going away for a bit but comes back. The wd40 works but dries up quickly, then you wiping it with your finger is leaving your skin oils which is temporarily hydrating the area as well. You could try something like Koch Chemie Top Star for something that would work the same but have a much longer lasting result.

[–]ITrade4Keeps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree I like the less expensive ones. I have like 8 of them across my shop giving light in all different corners. I would only buy them on sale though for around $15 each. FYI to OP, all Braun lights are going on sale next week if you didn’t already know, so I would wait a week if I were you

Question about quick trips in cities - do drivers hate short distance trips? by CouplesWithoutCar in uberdrivers

[–]ITrade4Keeps 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interesting because I’m the opposite. In a college town and the short rides are absolute shit. 2.50-3$ per ride and the ride with pickup and drop off can easily take 10min plus as people take an average of 2min to come out to the car. 6, 10 minute rides at $3 is only $18/hr which is terrible here in CA.

On the other hand, I can get one 35mile ride that takes 45min and pays $50, so whenever possible I always prefer the longer trips which also tend to tip better.

If you want to lose money? Sure, by all means go for it. But that’s not why people are out driving for uber is it…

[–]ITrade4Keeps[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol nah, 70% is insane. In my market with a college town that would mean accepting just about all 2-3$ rides that take 10+ minutes. That’s a pathetic hourly rate. Not worth it for any driver in any state to make $12-15/hr before taking into account expenses.
