    Anyone who does pro detail on weekends while having a regular 5 day 37.5 hour a week job?

    I work 50+ hours a week and detail on the weekends. As it's been said, you are you're own boss and can always decline a job if you want a weekend or two to yourself. I enjoy the luxury of taking on jobs I want (coatings/paint correction). It can be done, just be smart about the number of hours...

    Some panels won't get a perfect reflection

    One of the reasons I'm going to a Flex polisher. It's not the end all be all, but another tool added to my warchest.

    Trying the Flex 3401

    Been using Rupes ES and Mark II for the past two years and really appreciate the quality and smoothness, just not the stalling that comes with it. Want to try the "beast" with some LC Hydrotechs and see what it's all about. The feedback and information I've read on this forum is amazing and...

    How to remind customers to pay for a detail.

    Don't let kindness get in the way of getting paid for your services! Give them a time hack of today by xx time and include a copy of the invoice. If they don't like it, as others have said, you just got rid of a bad customer. Think about all that time you spent on the their vehicle! Maybe...

    RV rinseless wash

    That's what I was thinking, I have a lot of WG Uber Rinseless that I can use and then hit it with a one-step. Any recommendations/tips?

    RV rinseless wash

    I have a customer who asked if I can detail/wax their 2015 RV. This will be my first RV detail and I'm going to look at it tomorrow. I haven't committed yet, but want to ask if I can rinseless wash the RV? Or is the traditional foam cannon and pressure washer best.

    Rinseless Washes

    I personally use WGURW on my 07 Z06 and am sold on it. Can't speak for the other products mentioned. It has multiple uses and leaves a great shine and slickness. Give AG a call, maybe you can purchase samples of each product to help you determine which one is best for your use.

    Portable sprayer for waterless wash

    Hi all, as I gain more experience in mobile detailing I find myself leaning more towards waterless/rinseless washes. I currently use the hand held pressure sprayer that is sold on AG. The sprayer is working well, however, I am looking at other sprayers that hold more solution and have a more...

    What happens when you use a steamer on leather too long? and other stuff I need help with.

    I did this same detail using the Vapor Chief 100 on my sister's pick-up over the weekend. She had blue jean dye transfer on her tan leather on the edges of the seats. Used the steamer to clean and disinfect (key selling point) and still used some WG leather cleaner with a soft brush to clean...

    Rupes 21 markII backing plates

    Yes, just swap out the 5" backing plate. I tried this combo a few weekends ago and felt it provided better control, slightly more vibration. Use mine with the BOSS thin pads.
