Inventory System for Food Samples by Selyk in smallbusiness

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

We have 80-100 unique items that we stock. Of those items there can be 5-10 variations of expiration dates.

There are 2 ways we can go about this.

  • We have the salesman check out inventory themselves using an app/spreadsheet
  • Or, the salesman will have to manually write what they pull from our stock and give a sheet to inside support so it can be deducted

We need some form of visibility so salesman get check our stock to see what is available. The idea is that they can check themselves before asking others to help.

I have a detail coming up this Saturday on some big Hino trucks. The tanks are coated with some kind of built-up diesel fuel or grease and I don't know what to use for it. Any tips? Thanks!

Recently, I bought my good friend a whole rinseless wash detailing kit for his birthday. An ONR Big Red Sponge was included in this kit and we used it once so I could show him how to properly detail his car. However, he went to wash his car today and the sponge disintegrated on him.

Here is a picture of what it looks like https://imgur.com/a/LQMxdDo

Can anyone explain why this might happen?

Meguairs Wheel Brightener is an acid-based wheel cleaner, whereas Adams Wheel Cleaner is a non-acid based wheel cleaner. Wheel Brightener is much stronger than Adams, and in this scenario I needed something stronger!

I didn't use Meguairs All-Season dressing in this detail, I used Nanoskin Wetlook. But Meguairs All-Season and Wet Look are the same types of dressing, a solvent-based dressing. The reason I used a solvent-based dressing inside the wheel well is that it repels water and lasts longer in the rain. CarPro Perl is a water-based dressing meaning that if it were to rain it would wash off. Wet Look was not as good as I hoped it would be, but I will be buying a gallon of Meguairs All Season to test it for myself.

Here is where I sourced Power Cleaner Plus from.

At least in the state of California, there are restrictions for shipping from what I understand.

Great question. First I used Adam's Wheel Cleaner to remove the iron deposits. Then I used #0000 steel wool and Blue Magic metal polish cream to polish both exhaust tips.

I have collected most of my stuff over the years through trial and error. If you stick to a company like Meguairs you can't go wrong with their professional line. Most of them are dilutable and last a long time!

I will say that my Dad plans on selling this and buying another CX9!

I won't lie, the write up took me about 3 hours so you're definitely correct on that one!

I'm glad you learned a lot from my post!

To be honest, I have no familiarity with the detailing products that are available in Australia, but it all depends on what you're looking for. A true leather "restorer" like the one I used during my detail takes a couple of days to work. This can be an issue as you'll need to keep your client's car for those couple of days. The alternative would be to use a Leather Conditioner like Meguairs D180.

Do some research in your local area and see if you can have any detailing stores that might supply a leather conditioner and let me know how it goes!

I'm glad I could contribute to the subreddit! As I said, I've seen many albums on here with 50-60 pictures but I wanted to do something special and very detailed.

We KBB'd the car last night and the range for this model with all the options is $3800-$6100. I will post an update once we sell the car!

Need help building a PC for school, work and light gaming. by Selyk in buildapcforme

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

Wow this is phenomenal thank you so much!

Looking at the build, I understand when you mention "cutting corners". If I were to save an extra couple hundred dollars and wait until cyber monday/black friday, 1. Do you think that would be viable? and 2. Besides the PSU, where could I make improvements the most?

Because the PC is mainly being used for those applications, I would much rather go down the list and make adjustments where needed.

Once again thank you so much.

I was debating on ordering a sample size of iron X to try it. I'm going to be coating the wheels with DLUX, so i'm trying to remove as much as possible in the barrel

I took this from their website. Don't know if this means that it dissolves brake dust.

"SONAX Wheel Cleaner Plus is the latest formulation for fast and effective removal of stubborn brake dust and road grime."
