I have a client whom recently had a ziploc bag of fish get caught up under his gas pedal while driving. It fell from the center console and onto the floor and then popped open once it got smashed underneath his foot and the gas pedal. I've thoroughly cleaned the carpets and treated all areas...

I have recently been offered the opportunity to become the statewide sales agent for a national detailing supply company Malco. The guy whom wants to hire me says he only paid the last guy 8.5% commission but the last guy only had 20 contacts that he worked with & never properly worked the...

I have a client whom had a friend vomit multiple times while sitting in the back seat area of a quad cab Ram truck. I vacuumed, wet the surfaces, went over with Folex, let it soak and did the regular interior detail, then scrubbed the folex areas, wiped with microfiber, went back over 2x with a...

I live in a coastal city and the majority of my clients are always taking their dogs to the beach or wherever and the carpets & upholstery are always so full of pet hair, loose grit and debris that its impossible for me to get it all out. I've been noticing the new toys out by Tornador and...

My local craigslist has an ad running for a 72 Mercedes 220 for only $2,000 but it comes without an engine and oil pan. How much could an engine cost for this? Ive been searching around for a little bit now trying to find a good deal on a car that I can flip. I have friends that build race cars...

I have a detailing customer of mine whom has asked me to polish her corian countertops. I've been told that its possible with a rotary which I have and also with sanding discs. Im out of the discs at the moment but was wondering what grit I should get when I order more. Im sure its a bit harder...

So after spending the last several days punching holes in several hundred rack cards and then putting rubber bands on them, I went out and stuck them on the front of my neighbors mailboxes. I spoke to one of my neighbors in person and we walked around her sons car and I pointed out that I could...

Thinking about tweaking my business name a bit from Sahr Car Details to Sahr Car Detailing. Someone pointed out that Details just sounds like its about knowledge and information whereas Detailing is a bit more proactive and hands on. It seems like the majority of detailing companies out there...

So yesterday my project of the day was a black F-150 that a guy was passing down to his 16 yr old son. He didn't want any interior work done and just wanted the scratches removed from the exterior paint. Upon inspection it looked like this truck had been a hunters truck due to all the scratches...

I just purchased a set of the Leatherique duo and before I start using it on cars I thought I'd test it out on a nice executive leather desk chair I obtained for free from a random guy I helped move. I covered it once with the Rejuvenator and saw that it was still not fully clean so I added a...

Hi I need some help in figuring out a water pump setup for my mobile rig. I currently am driving around in a town and country minivan but I've pulled all the seats out of the back to fit my generator, pressure washer, 125 gal water tank and all my detailing supplies. Vehicle was cheap and gets...

I am starting up a mobile auto detailing business and am trying to figure out how to constantly get enough water pressure into my pressure washer to use properly. My current setup is a 125 gal tank inside a minivan. The tank has a lid on top which can be screwed on or off and also down at the...

A friend of mine has a 99 toyota camry that has been sitting outside for awhile. He had it cleaned and detailed once before to get rid of some mold issues that were going on. These mold issues have now apparently resurfaced and we have discovered that the weather stripping at the bottom of the...

Hey guys I went to a clients house the other day and I showed up only expecting to do a quick wash and wax for only a 2 hr gig. Well his neglected BMW wagon needed a bit more work than that. I restored its grace to it as best as possible but I did have to leave the roof looking a bit rough as it...

I have been detailing cars professionally I guess one can say for about 2 years now. I get paid here and there but cant seem to generate enough business to turn it over into a full time endeavour. Maybe only get a few cars per month Id say. Its nothing about my skills its just that other places...
