I tried a new method of advertising that seems to really have paid off so I thought I'd share it here. I have a good repore' with several automotive repair shops in the area, and I made thes great looking one sided color flyers specially made by myself on a color laser printer. I then stick...

I have a full time job as a network administrator from 7-4, then I do to my scheduled detail appointments after 4 and on the weekends. I recently picked up a contract for a major truck leasing company to polish wheels and Aluminum gas tanks. The wheels arn't so bad, and I get $100 a wheel to...

Here is my Girlfriends Brothers Mini Cooper. The paint was "pink and faded before I started, but look how nice it looks now! I used a Lambs wool pad on my Makita Rotary with P&S ultracoat. Then I put on a Black foam pad and used PB EX and finally topped with Eagle NXT wax. The red pops out and...

I am curious what methods you guys use to sell your services and get good money doing so. In the Madison / Milwaukee WI area, everyone is more concerned about price and they still want the best quality. To 99% of the population, my details shine as well as other shops, yet I use chemicals and...

I ordered a bottle of EX sealant to try out and am 100% satisfied. I have been using P&S products for several years and they do make an excellent product, but upon using the EX Sealant, I was surprised to find out that this sealant is better then what I am use to using! It also was shipped so...

I got home from work, and there was a box by my front door with PB EX Sealant in it:) I ordered it Friday , and got it today, thats fast! Anyways, I tried it on my SHO. I applied the sealant at 1000 RPM with a black foam pad and this sealant really makes my Red paint POP! After I was complete ...

A guy called me today and setup an apointment to polish the 25' pontoons on his brand new pontoon boat. I have done it on crappy pontoons before and use my high speed buffer and either metal polish or medium cut compounds and a wool pad. I told him $150 and this was based on an hour and half...

To start off, I was born and raised with a high speed polisher. These pictures are posted to show you that a faded 13 year odl 165,000 mile Ford taurus SHO can be buffed and polished with no swirls. Now mind you i did not dress the tires and I still have to put a coat of sealant...

In all my years of detailing, I find this website, and a wealth of information. I am very loyal to the products that I have used fro my customers at my shop, but always kept my ear open to hear of new products.

I don't get it. To get the absoulte best results in a reasonable amount of time, an 8" high speed velco backed high speed buffer/polisher is the way to go. I personally prefer the Makita variable speed polisher myself. Its lightweight and has a nice speed rampup/ramp down feature. The speed...
