    First REAL detail job on Thurs, how does my list of supplies look?

    Well, I was asleep, and I got a call asking for me on my cell... I thought it was a sales call, but realized it was my cell so it could only be one thing. Sure enough, someone from my school (not sure if she is a professor or just works there) got ahold of my number and wanted just the inside...

    Asking owners of vacant parking lots to use their lot?

    Second new post in two days... hope I don't get yelled at, lol. I did search and I couldn't come up with anything. There are two gas stations that I can think of off the top of my head that are right near my house and at the corner of VERY major intersections. Both have been closed down for...

    Special concerns when detailing classic cars?

    I posted a thread in the professional detailers section about the new business I just started. My dad gave one of my cards to someone at work, who collects classic cars. The guy seemed very inetersted, since I could detail the car in their work parking lot and then he can go straight to a car...

    Pop-up tent canopies

    Hey guys is $55 or so after tax a good price for a 10x10 pop-up canopy? I've seen cheaper quality ones that are like thin plastic for $15, but the pop-up type looks like it would definatley be worth the extra money. Also, is 10x10 good enough or should I look for a 10x12? I found some...

    Rubbing compound done by hand after wetsanding?

    Well, I practiced on a spare trunk lid and felt I was ready to wetsand my car... I did the fender and part of the bumper. Wetsanding went great and I could tell all the orange peel and roughness was gone. Afterwards, when I applied 3m rubbing compound with my new rotary, i burned through the...
