I have already done a few Tesla Model S’s already, also I have detailed a blue model 3. Recently, one of my customers took delivery of a brand new Tesla Model 3 in white. We discussed a coating and this is the first time doing it for a customer. The only other car I coated was my 95 Camry...

So no matter how much I shake it it’s permanently separated. I guess just get a different AIO and forget about it? Anyone else still use Poli Seal? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

So I’m getting used to this app called PhotoAffinity for iPad Pro. It’s like photoshop but for iPads. I’m going to town with it making some really professional stuff. After a few tries I got it to fit perfectly on my page and it looks very professional. By the way I took the mustang photo a...

This thread will follow this amazing project, which will then be in my YouTube series, The Art of Detailing. Detailing a motorhome is a lot different then detailing a regular car. I have learned a whole lot taking on this project. Someone in the NextDoor community found me. She tried to find a...

So I was about to file for my business name with The Desert Sun and I saw the other postings. All the others said they haven`t conducted business yet with that name, and if you say you didn`t do business with that name, but you actually did use it, there`s a $1000 fine or something. When I go...

Did a test spot with a regular polish the client had. I need a good aluminum polish and pads. The client said she`d pay for what`s needed. I need some recommendations. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Seriously autopia? How did this pass testing!? https://vimeo.com/201462076 It worked weakly when I first got it. This is a joke! A lot of other people are experiencing this as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I won some Rupes products, so I`ll review them, starting with the soap. The bottle is tiny! This is the most expensive soap I have (per ounce) I would probably reserve it for my car or maybe as a bonus if I`m detailing the customers car. This cost $20, you can get a gallon of gold class at...

Well I got some in laws coming back to Palm Springs this fall. last year I detailed their van. it was my first job for a customer. they paid $80 for the exterior but I went with 105,205, wax. now I know it should be about $175 or higher for that level. I usually don`t cater to cheapskates but...

Hey guys I am going to buy a vacuum for the customers cars. I was planning to get Home Depots 4 gallon one, its $80. I saw a Porter cable vac at Costco and they are only $30 and comes with what looks to me like a better hose and tips.... both are 4 gallon but I think the ridgid is lighter and...

Winter is fast approaching. In Alaska I would make sure to wash the car and vacuum it so you`re not stuck with a mess all winter. Also the glass should be cleaned and coated for less buildup. The paint should be protected with a durable sealant to protect it from the road salt. But here...

Finally! someone comes out from the shadows and has a discussion about money. This is some rare info you typically never find on forums. here`s some really helpful questions answered by seasoned detailers that is extremely helpful for the new guys! I have asked some questions on different...

This BMW is a daily driver that sits outdoors under the car port. I was washing a Jeep right next to it and the owner of this car wanted me to wash it. The BMW with average dirt and desert sand stuck to it after rainfall. The tires and chrome wheels coated in brake dust. A car this nice...
