Last fall I purchased a Dewalt 849 Rotary Polisher / Sander to meet the demand for my detailing and to expand my services, but times have changed. I am in the midst of beginning my career and won't have too much time for detailing anymore. If you want to get rid of the swirls very fast and get...

Well, I recently started to put my resume/cover letter together in an effort to begin my career mid-2006. I have never actually put one together until now, which is why I am looking for constructive criticism here. I have conducted successful research on the topic and feel more informed than...

My old boss finally gave me the chance to detail his 2005 Dodge Viper Hennessey 750 R. Stock power for the 2005 SRT10 is 505HP, but he had it sent to Texas to get the 750 R package, which is a crazy 750HP. The pictures don't even do this car justice, it is truly AMAZING! He also owns a...

A buddy of mine bought a new 2005 Graystone Pontiac Grand Prix GXP a few weeks ago and he wanted me to detail it. Here are the end results, which came out very well. He was very impressed to say the least... :) My process: Wash Clay #16 Natty's Wax #16 on wheels Mother's Billet...

I own a Silvermist-Metallic colored Grand Prix and would like to get the best shine possible out of it. I am asking for advice from my fellow Autopians of what products I should use to get that best shine. I will be doing car shows (not concours), but I still would like my car to have the...

I was seeing if there was any interest in fellow club members buying some discounted mf towels on a message board, and this is a reply I got from one member. "Its not wise to used Microfiber on your car. The only towels that your should use are 100% cotton, Made in the USA towels. I've been...

Before I found Autopia (few months ago), I've always used the #20/#26 combo on my Grand Prix and it's still on the car as we speak, but in a few weeks, while I'm on vacation, I'm going to clean, polish and protect every inch of my car. I just want to make sure this process is a good one to use...

I'm going to detail cars on the side over the summer, and I've gotten a lot of great input from my "constructive criticism" thread over in Autopia University, but now I'm kinda stuck. I'm unsure of what polish/sealant/wax to use on my customers' cars. Over the course of the summer, I probably...

Well, I'm going to try and detail on the side to make some extra cash this summer, and I just need some constructive criticism on my packages. I'm pretty set on my prices, as I think they are fair and lower than others in my area, but not too low where the work sounds cheap. I already did a...

I've decided to go ahead and detail cars as a small side-job once the weather gets warmer in my area. I thought of this because I take a lot of pride in cleaning my car, and everyone recognizes me by how good my car looks, plus they think it's a brand new 02, when it's only a 98. I just need...
