Hey guys. Stopped offering my services and don't have a garage to get creative in anymore. Been a while since I picked up a rotory or done any real detail work. Of course having done it for soo long, I seem to have a real itch for it lately. If anyone has a full detail going on or even a...

Detailing interior glass. Most of us just give the interior glass a wipe down. I've been using Klasse AIO on my interior windows for years, so most of the time I only need to use a QD to clean them and leave them streak free. What are you guys doing on the interior glass of you clients...

I've been using a rotory for a little over 2 years almost 3. My technique has changed, gone back, altered, then changed again. This is a recent clip I took of me polishing and included in a thread I made of the detail. What do you folks think I'm doing good and think I could do better with...

Found a huge stock pile of CD-2 engine detailer at a Autozone in Hialeah Florida. They had like 35 of them. I bought 4 but could pick somemore up if anyone would like... Send me a PM. BTW, this is the engine shine product that has been nowhere to be found.

Anyone local in the Miami Area willing to give me a few sample sizes of their Poorboy's SSR's. I will trade you same size samples of my polishes as well. I have Zaino ZPC, Optimum Polish, Optimum Hyper Compound, Menzerna PO106ff, Meguiars #80, Optimum Compound, and probably more. Along with many...

Ok, when I first began detailing, I would follow the trend of $150 Exterior (full size sedan) + $50 for interior. Well I haven't left that price range and I really need to start charging more. I have become pickier with the cars I detail and will only offer top notch work, but how should I begin...

I have always clayed vehicles in my garage at home, but need advise on claying when outdoors, specifically in full sun. Do you just use QD spray? I'd use soapy water as I prefer it to detailspray but Im sure the streaks would be harder to remove than the streaks from the DS once the sun dried it...

I've been taking a few more jobs here and there, even some basic wash and waxes (I would never offer only a wash and wax without a prior detail). A lot of clients cannot drop or drive their car to my home so i have been going to their homes. Because of this, I have found myself thinking long...

I have this customer who liikes to get a regular Exterior AIO and a thorough interior vacuum and wipedown. The customer is very nice and always gives a nice tip. Everytime I clean it I notice the customer's ceiling fabric of the car coming off and just hanging there. I would like to sort of...

While ordering some Tire Cleaner from TOL I picked up some "Interior Leather Scent: Orginal Condition". Interior Leather Scent OMG. I opened the bottle today and was very surprised by its non invasive scent. What surprised me even mroe was its potency. The smell from opening the cap still...

Audi A8L 4.2 This is my mothers NEW car. This car was super clean and in very good condition, nothing how I was expecting a new car to look like coming from a dealer, maybe is that hard Audi clear. It had a few light strays hear and there that quickly ghosted when direct sunlight would hit...

I have a 32oz bottle of Finish Kare FX100. I have used it a few times but because I don't know exactly where it falls in my detailing regimen I don't quite use it too much. This is a liquid (watery consistency) sealant. It works well over sealants and waxes. It gives off a very vibrant and...

Sooo pissed, I could buff a car dry. Got home early today, decided to clean up my car... I filled my bucket with 3 gallons of water and my pesticide sprayer as well, so I can go ahead and do an ONR wash. Well there is obviously a bit of standing water on the sides of the car and enough for...

i thought this pic would make you guys chuckle..

Eagle One Aluminum Wash & Cleaner. I tried it this weekend in place of my regular soap and water. The insides of my wheels were getting harder to clean, and the corners were taking doube time to leave nice... I bought this knowing it was made for aluminum wheels, but figured if its safe...

I have no idea how this thread might go, or how some people might feel in regards to releasing such information, but if you have a good idea but do not want to discuss it openly, please PM me. Recently I have been locked out of my house. Family away, cellphone inside, and neighbors think I'm...

Ok, friend of mine who was going to install my BBK on my car, has left town and I am far to impatient to wait. I know a good shop with good people, but as usual, these are people who no matter how many times you tell them, always end up putting their dirty grubby hands all voer my paint. Leaving...

Two weeks ago, I was detailing a car and the owner wanted to elarn and help. He brought a bunch of his tools, which the majority were no good for washing. He did on the other hand use a sheepskin wheel tool. It was pretty cool and did an awesome job holding in soapy suds and what not. I am in...

Been doing Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for about 2 weeks now. I weigh 215lbs, I'm 5'10', with about 12% Bodyfat. I always thought I was pretty fit and agile enough to defend myself. Lets just say, after every session, I have walked out a humble man. This sport is soo addicting, I itch and get...

I have a little issue with my girlfriends car. Last Holloween, a friend kicked a costume prop deep under her seat. The following weekend I tried pullin it out and accidently unplugged a wire that goes under her seat. Now her car has manual adjustments, so the only feature I disconnected was her...
