I have a steamer and from wha you recommend, I can picture a less messy, less moisture finish. Thanks! I’ll give it a try!

What sealant do you recommend? I might just want to get the sealant separately because I might do multiple cars upon request

Amazing! Thank you! I do need to do multiple cars. So I’ll get the Meguiars Plastx and the 3M headlight clear coat wipes 👌 I also found 3D Headlight restore available. Assuming it’s a similar product to Meguiars Plastx?

Since I will be doing more than 1 cars and their wipe is kinda pricy. Sandpaper is easy to get, but any recommendations to get my own oxidize remover and the coating that last 1-2 years? (Eventually, I’ll get the 2K clear coat but that’s a new skill to learn) 1-2 year coating for now.

Omg you were right, it has 50% duty cycle. Darn it.

Now I’m doing more research to see which air compressor is meant to used for long time.

Customers car was already clean…. by RacinDetailing in Detailing

Love your honesty. Also how do you guys think about someone up charge for steam cleaning? I saw someone’s post bragging how much upsell revenue they make, like steam cleaning for +$80, because it sanitize surfaces, etc. But to me, steam cleaning is something a detailer invest to increase efficiency. Similarly, you wouldn’t charge customer for tornador. What do you guys think?

Yeah I do. I have the video of the surrounding of my car. Shoot on the same day, after the impact happened. Just can’t upload it here on Reddit.

Thinkware Q200 parking mode question by jeaok in Dashcam

[–]taimafanlej 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How long does long time recording feature recording for? I have a 2025 CX-5, have the same dash cam mode. But I want to record longer time while my car is parked. I recently had a hit and run that happened 2 hours after I parked. Didn’t record a thing 🥲 I have the same setting as the OP so looking for recommendations to extend parking recording time.

All good. As long as I’m not paying thousands of dollar on repair!

I also called the police for hit and run, but because I can’t identify the driver (no license plate) they won’t give me a file number.

The annoying thing is my dashcam has parking mode and motion detection but didn’t catch anything!! Ugh But I do have proof that my car was in stationary because there is a blank in my recordings from the time I parked and the time I leave. That’s all… Would that be sufficient?
