Here's my question... What is recommended in a detail of a 1964 Impala with original paint? There's no clear coat, only the original acrylic paint. It's my father-in-laws car and is 98+% original. He is considering selling it soon and wants it detailed to attract more attention. Any...

Care to share that info with me? I've been looking as well. :cheers:

Shaggy isn't the word...... my finger sank past the first knuckle into the pile!!!

I finally had the chance to detail a "high end" car this weekend. The normal vehicles I get are everyday daily drivers and work vehicles (Ford Escapes, Subaru's, pick up trucks, etc). It was a 2000 Jaguar Vanden Plas. The car is silver with black interior and only has 29,000 miles. The overall...

Thanks to all that replied. What I'm looking for is a more commercial grade extractor. I now have a few more options and leads as well. What I'm trying to still find is people that have and use the various types. Are them similar? Is one far more superior for the money? Who did you buy it from...

I'm just sharing my experiences. While I have never had a problem with MOST engines, if not careful and unsure of the engine make-up.... you could cause some major damage. While I'll soak the engine of my Avalanche and my wife's Santa Fe with no issues, if I took the garden hose to the LT1 motor...

$70!! Seven Zero??? This is for a hot water extractor?? I paid more than that for my wet/dry vac! Please tell me more about this LGM. Thanks for the tip on the DurrMaid too BTW, just need to find a price on it now. I don't want a huge machine, something small that packs a punch. Thanks for...

I installed an after market head unit (built in DVD player as well as many other options) and installed a pair of Vizualogic headrest monitors (9" screens). They aren't cheap.... I believe I paid around $1400 for the pair about two years ago. That was just the headrest!! Granted, they are a...

Zaino is too rich for my blood. I've never used it but have seen vehicles that have. Being the owner of a small part time detailing business, I can't justify the cost. Most if not all customers don't know the difference from one product to the next. They only want a clean shiny car. My prices...

One of the tools I've been considering getting is a hot water extractor. I figure it'll save me tons of time and do a much better job than the current process I do (by hand). I've looked around the net and found a few but wanted some other input from those that have or use them. The one I'm...

Hmmmm..... I was debating on either the DP or the Pinnacle. The only clay I've used thus far is from a local Detail supply distributor. I figured I'd give AutoGeek some business and was torn between which clay to go with. I suppose I could buy both and use each as needed (the DP for the more...

No opinion on that. I don't use any on mine and never needed to. I'd assume the same on a bike provided it's only driven on nice days and therefore not exposed to many elements.

That's how I do it. For example: A door that's curved just below center..... I will start at the top (near the window) and move the buffer down towards the bottom of the door. The curve of the door is horizontal. Rather than moving left to right it allows more of the pad to stay in contact with...

+1 On the Eagle One Never Dull. I use it on my chrome exhaust tips on my truck.

It's been a little while since I was able to post again. Thanks for the Welcome's. Don't get me wrong, I've been cleaning my own cars for nearly 20 years but that doesn't mean it's been as detailed as it is now. I'll be sure to try and get some pics of my vehicles as well as the ones I work on...
