    Anyone here detail or own a Montero?

    Thinking about possible SUV's I could use for my mobile detailing company. I would be towing a trailer so I do not need something with tons of interior room. What I like about the Montero is that the engine is on the small side, so the gas mileage and emissions are somewhat lower. I have never...

    Any of you guys dream of detailing?

    I know it sounds odd when you really think about it. Dreaming about cleaning. But last night I had a dream about detailing this blue lifted (i think) truck. I can only remember compounding the door, but I remember doing multiple passes and feeling so good when the paint came out flawless. I...

    What would you use/do to get rid of these scratches?

    Buffed a door on my Jeep to see if the products and pads I have would work to give me the result i was looking for. Some parts of the door look flawless, but there are other parts of the door there are little scratches - I don't know what what they are from, i think someone may have tried to...

    How wrong is it to not put on a wax?

    So yesterday I compounded the front bumper and hood of my 04 G35. 2 passes with rubbign compound on wool pad 1 pass with Meg's swirl remover 2.0 on a polishing pad I look in my cabinet and no wax. Maybe a friend of mine 'borrowed' it without telling me. I dont know what the reason, but I...

    Sometimes you just gotta let the monkey inside you out...

    In this case when at work... I truly did not like the size of this truck while detailing, driving in it is another story :dance

    Gorgeous girl detailing next door...

    So I walk out of my house yesterday morning to see this STUNNING girl detailing my neighbors new Jag. I have seen some beautiful things in my life, but nothing as amazing as a beautiful girl buffing a new Jag. And the body on this girl - holy hell. And you might think she'd be wearing some...

    Having some problems getting my 95' cherokee paint gorgeous

    I have a 1995 white Jeep Cherokee. What I love about it is that I do not think that it has ever been detailed. I took the clay bar to the roof and hood just to see what I was dealing with and OMG there was soo much stuff in the paint. It was unreal - unlike any other car I've worked on. So I am...

    Talk about a turn around...

    This is the trunk to my G35. The previous owner loved to put their crap on it and the damage was outstanding. I sanded the CRAP out of this trunk, and there are STILL some minute scratches. But I'll get to those guys another day. This is AFTER a wash: And after all my hard work:

    Why do you think you love detailing so much?

    I love detailing. I don't do it for a living or anything, but I will detail anyones car if they let me. I just love starting with something that has been neglected, that has dirt everywhere, then stepping back after I am done to see something that is as perfect as it could be. Great sense of...

    I have been trolling this site for a while now and get so excited when i see some of your guy's results. I mean, wow, it is truly beautiful to see the transformations you guys can deliver. But I need supplies. Hell, I see that some of you use like 7-10 different products just on the exterior...

    So here is the next project - PIC Heavy and Swirl Heavy!!!

    Hey there guys. So I just finished giving my 03' Subaru a all around detail. And let me tell you, it was a BIT<H! I was using some POS random orbital buffer I bought at PepBoys a couple years ago. And it took me FOREVER! But after 10+ hours of work the paint looks A LOT better than what it did...

    What should my last coat be?

    I have just spent a good 10+ hours doing clay bar, paint repair, wet sand, compound, swirl removal, plus mothers 3 step polish. What should I put on to protect the paint? I want this finish to last as long as possible.
