Lately I have been offering engine detailing to my customers, but from now on I want a rock solid price so they know in advance. What are you charging for engine detailing?

After seeing a few writeups on engine detailing on here I figured I would take a shot at it. The customer requested that I wiped down the engine but I did a little more than that. Doesnt look too bad for eight years old: 30 minutes later: And heres a few more pictures I snapped in the...

A while back I ordered the Blackfire Midnight Sun Ivory Carnauba Paste Wax kit, I used it and loved the results, Its definitly the easiest paste wax I have ever used and its very slick and wet looking. I love it. So whats this Blackfire Wet Diamond stuff? How does it compare to what I have...

Whats your process for really soiled and dirty door jambs, what products and process do you use? What do you do for light dirt and dust?

Well, its not the coolest thing available at Lowe's but at 99.99 it serves its purpose. Should I have bought the diamond plated one for 349.99? :scared: I think this one will work. I can only fit about half my products in here, my G110, pads, Microfibers, brushes, wash mitts, etc are on...

Not sure how this happened but either yesterday or today I may have parked close to a tree. Got some mild tree sap on my hood, roof and some side body panels, I noticed it when I saw little dots on my hood, felt the hood, you guessed it: lots of bumps! My truck was fairly dusty(4 days worth)...

I thought this would be a fun thread, so I'll go first Before: After: Before: After Before: After: :)

Yesterday i bought some BF Goodrich All Terrain tires for my truck, and they are awesome!! They ride nice, make the truck higher in the air, and gave it a whole new look. I am very happy with them I also cleaned my interior and bought new floormats:

I tried my Blackfire paste wax kit the other day on a Jeep Patriot I detailed. The customer wanted a wash, clay,and wax only. But I polished out the hood with M205 so I had a prepped surface for the wax. This stuff applied very nice and buffed off so nice it was unreal. And you hardly use any...

I decided to give my Silverado a simple detail tonight, nothing too big. I did the interior as well. Once July comes around I have to remove the minor swirls in the paint with some M205 and my G110, or I may even have the new XP Porter Cable by then. I am really dumb for waiting too late to take...

I am looking into getting new tires on my 2007 Chevy Silverado. I have 20,000 miles on the truck and the factory tires from GM arent that great and arent too big either so I want new ones. So What brand of tires accept dressing pretty well? The ones I have on my truck currently are General...

For me, its either gatorade or ginger ale. Usually after washing and claying I take a five minute break and crack open a ginger ale and sit on my craftsman creeper. What do you guys do to keep hydrated?

It seems whenever I go to do a car, by machine or by hand, I am terrible when it comes to taking things off such as trim, cracks, windows, etc. heck, I dont even know If I am using the right tape :scared: On the Dodge Power Wagon I recently did, I only taped up the real important areas and was...

This was my first time using the G110. There was some light swirling on this truck but it was just mainly dirty. The interior was dirty as well. I did a test spot on the paint with a SoftBuff 2.0 polishing pad with M80 Speed Glaze at Speed 4, the result was a flawless swirl free finish. Looks...

I was just browsing through PAC and I think its time I place another order. APC is marked down at 12.95. And M80 Speed Glaze is only 29.95. Plus I am gonna get some Meguiars brushes. Maybe even some more Blackfire products.

How many pads do you guys use per vechile? obviously it depends on the size of the car but how many would you say on average?

I did this about a week ago but forgot to share it over here. heres my Process: 1. Wash With Gold Class Shampoo and Conditioner 2. Clay With Smooth Surface Clay Kit and Last Touch Spray Detailer 3. Meguiars ColorX 4. Meguiars NXT Generation Tech Wax 2.0 5. Hot Shine Tire Gel on the Tires 6...

What do you guys do to clean your pad on the fly? and how often do you do it when working on a car, every two to three panels?

Just saw this movie today. I thought it was a worthy entry into the series. Definitly some awesome action sequences and Christian Bale did a pretty good job of playing John Connor. I dont want to spoil it for anyone so I wont say much. But overall I still like the first and second one the best...

Whats your favorite degreaser? I like Purple Power or Greased Lightening. PP is only 6 bucks a gallon too. PP works excellent on tires too by the way.
