    Music for Videos and Commercials

    As well as detailing, I'm also a musician. I've seen quite a few videos that had to remove their soundtrack as a result of using copyrighted music. For a limited time, whether you're making a video for youtube, or you're making a commercial, just send me a copy of a song that you would like to...

    Totally Odor/Chemical-Free

    I have a friend that needs his car detailed. He was in an industrial accident a few years ago and you can't even be around him if you've showered recently, or if you're wearing deodorant. We also make our own laundry detergent so that we can be around him without causing a reaction. I can...

    Damn. Missed a spot.

    I've been detailing out of a shop that I'm renting for about 6 months. So far, it's been mostly a hobby. I got an account with a dealership that has me do the recovered vehicles for a credit union, as well as the dealership itself. I've done almost 10 rigs for them so far. A couple of days...

    Best on CF for depth?

    Okay, I've searched and searched. I've got a Seibon Carbon Fiber hood on my 350z and it's the first time I've really done much with CF. Seibon is a cleared hood and not a gel coat, so it's just like detailing the rest of the car, finish wise. I'm wondering, though, if there is a better...

    Wow. Put a shop out of business.

    Well, I opened up in a small town a few months ago, and just learned today that I put the other shop in town out of business. I've been just doing this as a hobby to supplement my income for a while. I'm not sure I'll be able to keep up with demand. I also gained a pretty big account today...

    Polishing over vinyl lettering

    Today I'm doing my buddy's Scion xB. It's black and he has quite a few white vinyl stickers on his car. Do I need to really avoid these stickers when doing polishing, or should they be okay with and orange/white CCS pads and Menzerna IP/FPII with PC? Thanks.

    Question about interiors

    Okay, I'm pretty confident about the exterior of vehicles, but I'm hitting a brick wall with the interior. Mostly just spot removers. I've been using Folex and Megs Quick Out carpet stain remover and the Little Green Machine by Bissell. Is this about all I can expect from these products...

    Viper paint question

    Is there anything special about Viper paint? Well, I've searched, but I can't find any info specifically for Dodge Viper paint. There is a red Viper that has been sitting at a local stealership for over a month. They sell a LOT of Roush Mustangs for such a small town. The Viper has some...

    Dream come true?

    Well, I've been intrested in getting a business going for quite some time. I've been doing family and friend's vehicles for a while with the PC with great results. I'm getting started with the rotary and had some pretty good luck on my own 350z (DB), but not confident enough to really make a...

    Door Jams/interior brackets

    Okay, sorry but I searched and searched to find the best process for door jams, but I couldn't find one. What do y'all use to do door jams quickly? It takes forever for me to get my big sausage fingers in there to detail the hinges and wiring stuff. What's best practice? Also, inside what...

    So, this was my cousin's rig. He owns a log funiture business. I'm just about to start to doing customer's rigs that I don't know, and haven't tried to recover black paint before. I asked him if I could do it for free. He gave me $50 and I'm going to do the interior tomorrow. So here's...
