One of the dealerships I do work for took an old 1988 Winnebago on trade. They called me up to see if I could clean her up a little bit for the auction. I did a regular wash and did a citrus degres on it. Question in what should I charge them for it? I never did one. Thanks for the help. It's a...

Ok so I know it's common practice to remove all wax from the finish before polishing a car. I know this because it's the Autopia way. Now my question is....... Why is it so important to remove the wax from a car before polishing? Another question is. Have you guys noticed how 205 is so...

Ok well I've had this M105 for about a month now and no matter how I use it, it will not work the way I have seen it work for other people. I use it in the sun and it turns out dusty almost instantly. I use it when in the shade and everything is cool to the touch and still the same results. I...

Hey guys. Just wanna see what most of you guys are doing when you get to a customers house or Work place. Do you guys use the power at the home or business? Or do you guys use your generator? I have a generator but only use it at a place of business. If I am at a customers home I will more then...

One of my dealers contacted me about a trade in that just came and asked if I would be able to make her shine again? I told him I will try my best and see what can be done. When I first saw the car you could tell the paint was extremely thin. The whole car felt like 220 grit sand paper. I...

This person calls me the other day and tells me he would like me to remove some swirl marks on his New I.S left behind by the dealer. I asked if this way the only thing he wanted done? He said yes. I offered to Vac and wipe out the interior. I explained to him that I would be doing a 2 step via...

Ok guys I received my Flex 3401 the other day and I so stupidly did not order some M105/205. I did a friends car a 2005 E500 benz. I washed it, did the whole clay thing, And went to town with some Ardex "Hard at it" along with a LC orange pad. Then since the car with black I used some...

I been wanting to pick up a water softener for a while now. Due to lack of funds and lack of wanting to spend $700+ for one. I just gave up on the whole idea and kept on rolling the way I have been for a while now. I do lot washes for dealer ships. Basically for those who don't know. It's when...

Ok this lady calls me up today and asks me how much would I charge for a full detail on a ford Taurus and another car in it's class. I asked her what she thought a full detail means? She said she wanted the interior spotless and she wanted one done on one day and the other on another day. I...

Does anyone have any experience with this product? I used it today for the first time and I have to tell you that it actually removed dirt from the leather. Leaves it with a nice rich color and not all greasy. I am actually happy with it. Another one I would like to ask about is the Zymol...

I ask this question cause I see that most people on here charge prices that around me are just nuts to people when you quote them. I think we should share what is being charged and your location. You can post from a outside wash to a complete full detail. Thanks

I noticed that a lot of people on here do not use wheel acid to clean. Is there something I don't know about? I been using it for years and it will bring up the worst grime on the whole wheel. Since I been looking at videos on line I see that a lot of people sit there cleaning the rims by hand...
