Been awhile since I last did a car, so I started off todays nice weather with my own car, which has been through a lot of nasty weather since it was last detailed in August. Being single stage white (AKA extremely hard), I didn't care to get all the marring out, just cared mostly about all the...

Well, unfortunately I seem to have a leak somewhere in my non running car thats been sitting for a month or two now, and theres a small amount of mold on the headliner. What steps should I be taking to eliminate it and protect it?

Washed 'er today and threw on a coat of S100, looks good :)

Haven't posted for awhile, has anyone else had difficulty with Subaru paint? I always thought they were one of the softer ones out there.. Even Hi Temp XC on a LC orange VC pad had difficulty with this paint. Wash Clay HTXC via rotary on LC orange pad HTXC / OP 50/50 split via rotary on...

Creating a business plan for detailing in one of my courses, wondering if you guys had any useful advice. Some stuff I'm looking for is legal and insurance considerations, and a management team section, though I'm the only employee (job descriptions, qualifications etc etc for running the whole...

My gf bought her bike today so of course we had to clean it up. First time washing and detailing bike for me. Used #9 by hand and #83 on some tougher spots, sanded down and polished the exhaust piping (It was pretty rusty, cant see it really in the pics), polished all plastics and signals etc...

Some of you may have seen the black 240sx that I've been working on. I posted it on a local forum, and a resident detailer has started talking about her work, but time and time again, I'm amazed and sometimes confused as to what shes talking about. Here are some quotes: quote: Originally...

Edit: Updates on last page I'm amazed how neglected this car was. Apparently it was never washed in its 15 year life, and it came from Ontario :eek: Right when I saw it, I almost died. Hood, roof, trunk and spoiler were covered in extreme oxidation, but throughout that, it looked like...

What a difference on this car! Bumpers were oxidized, along with the hood, mirrors, trunk lid and some random places, and then there was some pretty good swirling going on as well. Tried HT Extreme Cut 50/50 with OP for the first time as well, and I love it! Process: Wash Clay AIO on LC...

Neglect! Engine took awhile to do, degreased and dressed with Stoners Trim Shine.. Exterior was in pretty shoddy condition, swirly and some parts were pretty oxidized. Process for exterior was: Clay Megs #83 via rotary @ 1300-1700rpm on a Megs polishing pad OP via PC on a LC White pad...

One wheel fully done, took me about 2-3 hours. Stripped the black paint that the previous owner sprayed on, and the factory clearcoat. Then I had to sand down the texture that was on the wheel (you'll see in the pics). I did so with my PC and some 80 grit paper, then did 180 grit by hand...

Just afters for this. Not too bad, light/med swirling and some deeper stuff on the hood and assorted scratches. Rotary w/ #83/OP for the deeper stuff, and finished with OP by PC on an LC white pad for the whole car after that. Glazed with RMG and sealed with KSG. After OP After OP + RMG

First off, my GF's mothers '90 Cutlass Ciera...Man what a task this was...Car was absolutely covered in sap, oxidized, and swirled to no end. Right side rear door and fender had a sloppy repaint on them as well. Process was: Clay Sap removal (Took almost 2 hours for most of the car Megs...

New here, strangely never had heard of this site before! Just wanted to say hi to all of you :)

So I bought a Makita 9227 today, and could only get an 8" Megs polishing pad, AND I had no test panels, so what better to test it on than my old van :heelclick :D Took a broom to the hood and went to work :chuckle: Used Optimum Polish on that area, starting it at 600rpm, then moving up to...

I've been interested in creating an article on detailing for a local magazine thats starting up and just wanted to see what some points you guys think I should touch on are. I'm going to talk about how a clean well cared for car reflects on your personality and how people judge you but I need...

Ok, I found one of these in the closet downstairs and I can't find any specs on it anywhere on the web, does anyone know about it?

Ok, last night I was doing a photoshoot of a black civic that belonged to a friend of a friend; he told me that this infamous detailer that I've had questionable moments about her technique and knowledge of her products on another more local site (revscene.net) , and he told me that she said to...
