Today, I finally decided to take the plunge and test out the DP 4-in-1 Rinseless wash (thanks Meghan & Max). After seeing Justin's (& others) results, I trusted it enough to do it myself. We've had a lot of rain lately so the car was fairly dirty. You would have thought that being in Indiana...

Hey all, I've been working on winterizing my '05 Mazda3 for the past couple weeks. The only before picture I have is of one of the wheels. The OEM pads dust a lot so I thought it'd be good to see before/after shots. Also, I did a half/half shot of the drivers seat. One half is before and one...

Hey all! I did this detail over the weekend. It's a black '04 Mazda3. This guy is a member of the Mazda3 board that I frequent. He's a college student so his car doesn't get to see a lot of TLC since it sits outside all the time. Process: - Wash with NXT - Clay with Meg's clay & DP...

When it comes to figuring out a rate to charge for a detail, most people suggest hourly rate x hours + product cost. But my question is, how do you figure out how much product you've truely used for each detail? I'm not talking about how to calculate cost, I know that part. I'm talking about...

Hey all! This is my mom's PT Cruiser. I did this detail as a "gift/refer some business to me" type of deal. Unfortunately, I don't have any before pictures. I forgot to take my camera with me when I went to their house. These photos are the day after when she came over. It gave me a chance...

This is something that I think doesn't get talked about a lot. So I'm wondering, how many of the professional detailers here tape stuff off when polishing? Or do you only do it on certain cars (ie - expesive cars) and not on others? Also, how much time do you typically spend on putting tape...

Recently, I visited the Chemical Guys website after seeing some people on here talking about some of their products. It appears that Chemical Guys would be a great value for people that have a detailing business. I'm in the process of trying to do just that. Ok, here are some of my...

Hey Everybody! I'm wanting to start detailing on the side because I love doing it and it would obviously provide me with a little more income. I've come up with a menu & some prices. I'd like your input on what you think about it. Please provide any suggestions that might help me better...
