Sonax Perfect Finish is not going away anytime soon for a reason. It does a wonderful job finishing well with everything I have used it on.

I am very glad that I am not the only one who feels this way. I respect all these professionals and their contribution to the detailing industry. I personally have experience with RUPES DA System and a lot more with Todd’s approach to paint correction… Currently, I prefer using Jescar...

Find a bit of resistance. When they are taken back by price but they end up doing it anyway, that is a happy zone to be in. It means you are getting your worth and it also allows you to deliver a better experience for them. If you raise your prices and you still have about 7/10 people paying for...

Then again, you can easily always remove the washer to begin with. A while back, I was using my RUPES as intended. I personally had mine with the washer mod for over a year after a while using the Bigfoot Polishing System exclusively for some time. Eventually, I went back to using my machine...

The iBrid Nano is one of the most useful tools that you can add to your arsenal. You will be glad that you have one. My most favorite preference of usage is in rotary mode using the 1” pads.

When it comes to ceramic coatings, it is all about checking for high spots in the right type of lighting. The wrong lighting can wash it out. So it’s not the high spots that decided to show up at a later time. It’s just a matter of making sure to have the proper process and scenario to install...

If I had to choose a user-friendly coating, I would go with Optimum Gloss Coat.

How many ceramic coating packages do you install per month? This is what these companies will ask you. As mentioned, many pro detailers will install CARPRO UK 3.0 all day before they are able to get in with there certified program. Besides that, UK 3.0 is a quality coating. How much was the...

Welcome to the Thunderdome!!!

If I was putting in time for anything, I would work for a minimum of $100/hr to cover cost of living, overhead, and taxes. In terms of (exactly) providing the services you stated above, it requires a special person or the most high-line type of clients to really appreciate something like that...

What speed are you using your machine on? Their pads are phenomenal. I am hard pressed to find any issues at all with the set up you have. It is a proven system. I used it almost exclusively— including the pads minus the green one. Their yellow pad is one of their most popular pad out there...

GYEON Tire Cleaner. I have found this to be highly effective. This is the product I find myself coming back to the most.

I have denied plenty of good paying jobs because of a paint depth gauge. Not worth the risk of polishing out thin paint for no reason.
