Today I detailed a 96 Impala SS, love these cars! I usually charge pretty low because I'm 17 and trying to get a name out there. So I have no idea what to charge this time, its a neighbors friend. My neighbor brought it to my house and told me to shampoo, do engine, leather, dash etc. Polish...

So I detailed a car today(friends mom)and all was good. Well she had a lot of stains she wanted to remove but I told her I didn't have a extractor, told her I'll try by hand but no promises. Well the floor matts came out good but I did a few seats with APC and a shop vac. I told her it could...

Well I hve a black f150. A few months ago I tried polishing a fender and hood with Megs. MF kit ad a 7424. Took me hours and well the swirls came back because my dad had newspapers all over my hood doing something and rubbed it in, then he washed it! 0.o Never again, haha Well seems like I...

I just got my first polisher. Got the 7424XP and the Megs. MF kit(5") from autogeek. The polisher seems pretty weak on speed 3, I have no idea how I could use a polish for that. Four is almost the same then 5 picks up, 3 and 4 seem to stop rotating rather easily but then 6 can take twice as much...

Once of my friends mom said she want her vehicle detailed. She said it was pretty bad but when I went to look at it, it looked fine. Just a few stains, some bad paint spots, and a lot of swirls. I doubt they know what swirls are. I'll post one pic below then please click on the link to the...

So I am starting my own mobile detailing business, I'm 17. I got some neighbors to pass out business cards after I did their car and people want to know prices. I am located and Charleston SC, and mostly everyone around here is just a car wash. I don't want to charge to much cause I'm not...

Below is the link. I also attached the images. By the look of my paint which pads should I get for paint correction. I can't tell if I should get the orange or the yellow ones. It has no oxidation, just swirls across the whole truck. Its a F-150 so its kinda big, how many pads of the...

Yep, the title. I am only 17 years old but I always am washing/detailing my families cars and neighbors. I don't have a high speed polisher or anything tho. I am tired of my job and make nothing sine I only work weekends. So I want to start my own little car washing business. My...

Yep! Thats right! All you have to do is wash your viechle and boom! RAIN! I spent about 4 hours on my trucks exterior, wash, hand dry, wax, wheels tires, trim. As soon as I get done with my trim I turn around and see this! 0.o So how often does this happen to you?

Well my mom has a older white Camaro, and being a women didn't think about something first only the now. lol :razz::wavey:wacko: So, she decided she wants me to take it off, well she got one of those maaco paint jobs 3 years back and on the side skirt it has a little chip of paint missing...

I bought a cheaper random orbital buffer today cause my truck is black and has swirl marks. Well I used some ultimate compound to try to take them out and worked, but only did 2sq. ft. b/c I was in sun and it dries to fast. So I just waxed it, I used the buffer, I didn't notice anything...
