I have learned over time, that when customers call for quotes, there are some cars that you can bank on being a mess, without even having to see them. For example: Any Ford SUV...especially Explorers are typically trashed. Must be due to the fact they are economically priced, and the owners...

I decided to take the time yesterday to get my detailing vehicle all cleaned and sealed. The process went like this... Dawn wash on wheel wells, wheels, tires, and undercarriage. QEW wash to exterior followed by Meg's white clay. Polished with Menzerna P203S with the Flex and a Green LC...

My client just picked this one up. It's a 99, with only 48K miles. It appeared to have never been polished. It was in pretty good shape, but had what appeared to be a lot of wash induced marring, as well as swirling. I compounded it with M105 and an Orange LC pad at 1000. Most panels...

This is probably my favorite BMW color. The car was just purchased, and was covered in buffer trails. I vacuumed, used 1Z LeatherCare on the seats, and Meguiar's QID on the hard surfaces. For the exterior, the wheels were soaked in P21S, and then washed with Dawn. I then did a 2 bucket wash...

On my way to a job this morning, I passed this Tahoe, and had to stop and get some pictures

Has anyone used this? I know it is an AIO, and contains some abraisives? Any experieces with this stuff?

2 weeks ago, I arrive at a client's home at 7:00am to work on his car. He told me the day before it would be unlocked in the drive, and to plug into the power outlet on his porch. He said he'd wake up around 8:00 or 9:00. As I tiptoe across the porch, trying to be quiet, a stupid motion...

My wife and I work with a local dog rescue. They house @ 300 dogs. My wife and I have a soft spot for the large hounds, and pitbulls, so whenever they get in one of these that is an abuse or abandonment case, or has a health issue we'll take the dog to our house, train and rehab it, and once...

This car belongs to a forum member. It only has 9800 miles. It was a factory delivered car, and still had buffer trails. The interior only needed a vacuum and wipedown. 1Z Leather care was used on the seats. The wheels got P21S, the top was cleaned and sealed with Raggtop, and Meguiar's...

Does anyone know if Honda uses a tinted clear on these? I did one this weekend, and was getting color transfer onto the pad. It wasn't as much color transfer as I typically see with single stage, so I assumed it was a tinted clear.

Hey guys, Anything similar to this product that can be purchased in bulk (or in concentrate form). I am looking for something to used on maintenance details, and don't care about long term durability...simply looking for a natural look.

Meet Brightmare. This is "stylin99"' (Steve Shrader's) 99 Mustang GT (don't let the Cobra nose fool you). This is the car that started the Yellow Mustang Registry...car number 1 of over 7000 now. This car has been on the cover of Mustang Enthusiast Magazine, as well as Modified Mustang...

This car belongs to "droptop216" (Mike). I detailed the car back in May - a full rotary job. Well, Mike had entered it a while back in the Carolina Regional Mustang Show that was held yesterday, in the concours competition. We detailed it last weekend for the show. There was a driver...

Every once in a while, you run across a car that you just feel sorry for. This '99 XK8 was repainted 2 years ago, at a reputable shop, due to some deep scratches it had received from a cat that jumped on, and slid across it. The paint job looked pretty good, but you had to look pretty hard...

I have never used a Flex before. I typically use a rotary or PC, but I figured I would give the Flex a try. I liked it...it was a little heavy, but I could definitely see that it had more power than the PC. For this detail, I washed with the 2 bucket method, and Duragloss 901. I then...

This truck has 46,000 miles on it, and belongs to a builder. He frequently takes his dog to jobsites with him. The area we live in has a lot of red mud, so the interior was really dirty...there was a layer of red mud gunk on the leather and carpet. The exterior wasn't bad, but there were...

I met up with "BoostedMopar", aka Justin, because he wanted a little training with using a PC. In addition, he had just purchased some Zaino products, and wanted to give them a try. Justin washed and clayed the car last night with the Z7 soap, and the Zaino clay, then tucked it into his...

This bike was a little dirty and swirled. I used a Surf City's metal polish, along with the Mother's Powerball Mini, various rags, and 0000 steel wool on the chrome. For the painted surfaces, I used the PC with a 3" polishing pad and SIP. For protection I used CMW, buffed off with OCW. The...

I didn't get before shots of these. In both cases, I was so pressed for time, I only took afters. First up is this 2000 Vette. It has been heavily modified. Exhaust, Z06 wheels and brakes, Hurst shifter, and several other engine mods. It has 60K miles, and had your typical wash induced...

A client just picked up a used 2000 Vette that I am detailing next weekend. I saw it Friday night, but didn't have a camera with me. It has the glass (Lexan) roof. It looks like the top of the roof has been sanded with a rough grit sand paper - no better way to describe it. I was thinking of...
