Every wax is the best wax when applied properly :xyxthumbs: Just depends on the desired look & purpose desired. Cleaning Quality Shine Quality: Mild/High gloss, deep color transparency (pop), durability/protection length, repairability of damaged single stage, etc... I personally prefer the...

Nice video, more concise than some videos I've seen. Good job showing the uses of multiple tools on there. :xyxthumbs: Wheels look great! P.S. The Papas y Beers t-shirt definitely drew me into watching the video, haha. We need more clear videos like that, always nice to see good sunlight...

I already thought about ideas to educate customers with a basic info pamphlet at the end of a detail. Possibly offer a small cleaning package for daily maintenance with or after the detail. This actually came up in a thread of mine months back for this idea, I think it's a good way to help...

A good suggestion that some places will let you do, is ask if you can set up a little holder w/ biz cards/fliers/pamphlets at counters to places that have car specific customers. I.E. Auto Zone, Oil Change stores, Jiffy's, Wheels Tire/Rotation stores (Mich, Goodyear, etc...) places. Also a...

Had a pretty interesting idea that I've not seen on here before. Thought I would throw it out to other people on here and look for feed back. Underbody Carriage Washing: Buy an adjustable pressure washer nozzle, use the lowest PSI setting and lightly blast under areas of the car (maybe only...

I came about this close: ll to asking if it was an old EVO because they have SS paints... but nvm :xyxthumbs: Saw the tag, haha. In case of any doubt, just be sure to use more lube and you're good to go. I would always carry a couple types of lube and clay. Also, make sure you have a...

Ah, yeah... seems it would just make more sense to do it that way and have a fee for extra dirty vehicles. I've already got a full price list lined up for when I get started, always have been curious about how to upcharge for the rougher jobs. Thanks! :xyxthumbs: Yeah, I'm in sales now, always...

I'm just curious, for these 3-4+ hour long interiors, how do you explain to the customer how pricing works when quoting it? I'm assuming saying it would take X amount of hours, and the going rate is X per hour. It'll be a minumum of X hours, and then bla bla for each hour after? Feed back...

2 year life span on this product if maintained from what the info said: Q: Wash interval periods on this product? Q: If applying coats of wax, does it shorten the life span of this product? Q: Says it's resistant to most cleaners, alkaline, and detergents/dish soaps. How do I remove it if need...

As SeaJay said, knead more often, use an additional piece of clay if necessary. Maybe do smaller sections at a time and don't make your strokes as big so you have less chance of pulling microabrasives across the CC. Switch to a different light-clay and see if that helps, or change your...

I know this thread is already slightly old... however, anyone else find it funny that one of the pics is a guy using that on his glasses while they're on his face. Yeah, 15,000 RPM's and you'd put it right on your face, awesome :xyxthumbs:

Megs SMR Swirl-X/Ultimate Compound with light cut compound pads might be a good start. 3M 3000 series is for light swirls, as well as Pinnacle Ultra Fine SMR #1 is for ultra fine SM's, use with light 6.5 CC pad. There are others, just look around. I'm sure someone else more knowledgable...

Sitting in an office is not all it's cracked up to be. Been in an office setting for a year now, do detailing on weekends. I feel lethargic... somehow have developed a small 1 cm size cist on my right hand top side on a tendon (no pain though, luckily). I have mild pain in my hands now and...

Dave- Might I ask how you present the opportunity to show them your binder? I love the idea, people seeing credentials would make you memorable because no one else has done it and it shows professionalism (very nice). I am just curious how you incorporate that into a walk up customer that you...

So... it is possible, neat :xyxthumbs: Just have to re-wash those areas and compund filler it if I mar it. Nice article, thanks for the feed back.
