Just thought I'd share the greatness :D

So I have been taking about 2 to 2.25 hours to do a "wash and wax" on a customers vehicle. This job consists of (and in this order): Interior vac, dash wipe down, qew wash, wipe out doorjambs clean wheels, wax exterior (usually with the regular sun friendly waxes), dress tires and...

Well ive been hearing about RMG for a while now. Mostly from Scottwax. Has anyone else tried it so far? Well I thought I should mention that I saw it for sale on Excel Detail for those who want to get it first. I find it odd sine it isnt even listed on the official site yet... And for...

Through random searching, I found this site. I thought it was really funny. Its a guide on how to wax your car. Check out picture number 4. I think they used half of the bottle on the hood :D lol http://www.ehow.com/how_1327_wax-car.html

I went to the San Diego International Auto Show today. This was the first car show ive ever gone to and it was pretty cool. Lots of nice cars. You got to sit in most of them. But they werent detailed all too well and the guys walking around dusting them off werent doing a great job. It was...

I tried out some Mopar detailing products as you can see :D I found them in a car that was maybe 7 years old... the products were never opened and I donâ€â„¢t think the car was ever detailed! surprise surprise. So I thought I would post what I thought about them. Wax Treated...

You may have seen this foam gun in other threads. It seems to be a good choice. When you go to their website (http://messnerinc.com/webcatalog/detail.asp?item=BAQ%2D4165900) you see that they dont list the price! Well I emailed them and this is what they said.

I will be purchasing a rotary soon (Makita 9227CX3) and I'll need some pads to go along with it. I would like to try out Edge Pads due to the centering feature. Right now I have a PC with a bunch of Meguiar's Cutting and Polishing pads and some LC finishing pads. When I have the rotary, I...

I've been using the Poorboy's SSR line with my PC for a while now. I do a number of details on hot days in direct sunlight. I've had no problems with this combo so far. I would like to step up to the rotary now for these details and for other work as well. I haven't seen anything...

Here are some recipes I found on a web site: car soap 1/4 cup vegetable oil-based liquid soap warm water mix ingredients in pail. Wash car on lawn instead of the drive to reduce runoff to the street or storm sewer. car wax 1 cup linseed oil 4 tbsp. carnauba wax (available at...

I have been using Stoners Invisible Glass and Eagle One 20/20 for a while now. They are both nice, but I cant get just a gallon or so of them, and I dont feel like buying a ton of bottles of each. So, I have been looking for something else. Meguiars Glass Cleaner is what I found. I was...

Alright, I finally got through with the searching stage, but it appears that there isnt much info on cleaning and protecting the roof of an rv... maybe because this is a Car web site? lol Next weekend im going to work on some cars for a customer. At that time i'll also look at her 33' RV...

As requested, here is my review of Spray and Wipe vs. QEW (used as a QD type product) I don’t have any pics of the car that I tried this stuff out on because they don’t really show anything :) The dirt that was on there was hard to capture, am I wasn’t using the best...

So I have been using 303 on my own tires. I have always liked the results, and it lasts a long time for me. On my customers cars, I have been using Bold N' Bright. Which I like a lot too. I was helping my friend out with his car, and I used 303 for him since it will probably last a bit...

Here is a brochure that ive been working on. Those purple/blue lines are guides to show where the page folds, and they dont show up when its printed. the first page (110kb) the second page (127kb) I made it in Microsoft Publisher, so if you have that and want to look at it there...

....when people say "oh, what do you charge?"? Should I say "What do you want done?" or "I charge based on what you want done, and the condition and size of the vechicle." or maybe "$X for a full interior/exterior detail." or should I carry price guides around with me and just give them...

For reference, im in Oceanside CA. The water regulations look like I can't let any wash water (because of the soap) go into storm drains. For the most part, this is fine since i'll be using QEW. The only thing that im concerned about is mud and stuff like that that is really caked on. What...

I need to get some sun friendly products, so poorboys fits the bill. I was wondering which ones I really need to get to start with. I'll be using a PC/my hands... no rotary. I was thinking of getting PwC for one step jobs. Then the SSR 2 and 3 for sure, but I was wondering about...

Here are my prices. I'll be starting business real soon, but I want any input that Autopians might have for me. #1 Wash $25 for most cars, $35 for oversized vehicles Hand Wash, Bugs and Tar Removed, Rims and Tires Cleaned, Exterior Trim and Tires dressed, Windows Cleaned #2 Quick...

I'm looking for what people think about the Carpet Scrub Brush for the PC. I havent been able to find much about it in other posts. I was wondering if it really is that much better than doing it by hand? and if there are any dangers to using it in one spot for too long/using it a too high...
