ceramic coating is the newest technology available for maximum longevity. If you wash your vehicle weekly the older style wax should provide about 4 to 5 weeks of UV protection before it wears off. The ceramic coating I applied had a manufacturer claim of 5 years of protection. Not sure I...
Being a weekend detailer on my vehicles and close family I’ve tend to keep the exteriors looking good. I’ve found a diesel pusher motorhome that I am going to go check out next weekend. The seller states that it has sat for 5 years and the clear coat is failing. I recently purchased a 29 gallon...
Toland76,
I've seen them advertised and would like to stick with factory leather if possible. In my care I know that I'll be able to keep the factory leather interior looking show room new for decades to come.
First and foremost leather is not like paint. You do not want to place anything over the top that will seal it. It needs to be able to breath. Conditioning leather basically keeps the leather soft and supple. When leather gets oil from human contact and binds with dirt and dust particles that...
History first. Scroll down if you want to skip the story of how I came to my new car. Last year I went on my first traveling assignment. Was gone for about five months before getting laid off due to my training supervisor taking off for a family medical emergency.
Drove 2,200 miles to get home...
With that car going to car washes and not done by hand it doesn't surprise me that the CO failed on the wheels. Car washes typically use strong stuff on wheels that can even take off paint over time. Their theory is make it shine for the customer & the quicker the better. A strong solution, of...
Nice 300ZX. What build date is yours? My 1990 300ZXTT has a very early build date with the smaller rotors :( How long have your had yours? What kind of miles do you have? I'll be visiting this forum quite frequently over the next few months while I pick up as much as I can on detailing.
Also look into bulk ordering to save some money. Size up your clients. On your higher end clients, might want to give them a polo shirt. If you notice the client wears a lot of print t-shirts give him one of your print shirts with some business cards. Make sure it has logo & business number on...
Very true. Ideally I'd like to focus on full corrections. A few smaller jobs might also be more useful time wise with my current schedule. I'm a newly wed and have a very time consumption wife. Currently working for an engineering firm on a 9-80 schedule. So every other Friday off would be put...
Wondering if anyone here has feedback on the following cart ($69 with shipping):
ATD Tools 7016 Heavy-Duty Plastic 2-Shelf Utility Cart 16" W x 30"
It looks to be like a stout contender for a home detailer. I'll try to pick up a few paying gigs in the future. As for now I'm just...
Hello everyone.
New to this forum but not to a clean vehicle. This time I'm committed to making sure my vehicle is properly taken care of. Pain on my sports car has greatly diminished since I've taken ownership due to the 1 buck wash repeatably over my 11 years of ownership. Swirrl galore and...
