I'm at my vacation house in Las Vegas for the next month or so. I keep a small amount of supplies here just to keep the cars clean, and refresh the LSP so the road grime and bugs clean off easier after the drive back to CA. Got some wheel cleaner, CG spray sealant, and some leather care products.
cool... i always got streaks no matter how much product i used.

CQuartz F&L... Permanon Platinum... NanoSkin MegaTrend...
I guess they aren't all "new" but I personally have never used either of those 3 and I always like to hear people's opinions of other products so I can add to my ever growing wish list of things to try.

Heard that CarPro Pearl is great stuff. Hey Zach since you're a carpro installer can you help me out? I recently got some F&L but the sticker said that it has expired. So I called autogeek and they said that stuff will last 5-10 years, but I'm still skeptical. What do you think?

F&L hasn't been on the market long enough for any of the bottles to have gone "expired" from what I have been told.
As far as what the Autogeek reps told you - definitely false claims according to Corey. F&L should last for at least a year, but it is largely dependent on how the product is stored... it may last several years if stored properly. I would personally recommend storing it inside in an environment that is not subject to much temperature or humidity change. This is also how you should store your waxes, sealants, and any coating products.

Just talked to Corey @ CarPro-US... he said that the date is in European notation... so day/month/year. I would assume that is the issue and the product is not truly past its date

Corey said if the product is still completely liquid (ie nothing has started to solidify or anything weird like that) then it should still be just fine.

This may be a dumb question but how did you guys break into detailing? I wash and I guess you could call noob detail my car but I want to do it professionally to my car and maybe get good enough to charge people....idk what it is about it but I love seeing something dirty and then you spend time and sweat with attention to detail and it turns out like new lol maybe a little ocd but I could polish every piece of metal on my car every day. Any books or online guides you guys recommend?
