Thanks! Luckily my home will have a three-stall garage so I know that will help a lot. Is it too hot even with a tent to detail in the summer??

Hey everyone, in about 2 months I will be relocating to Arizona to be closer to my brother and his wife (help with the incoming child). With that being said I will be reestablishing my mobile detailing business there. Does anyone have experience working in that climate? I have operated my...

Thanks everyone, I ordered a new batch of towels this morning. I appreciate the replies! Next time ill try not to flush my money down the toilet!

Just a recent mistake I made that maybe some of the senior detailers or experts may know a trick to. I am typically very careful with all my microfiber towels. I keep all my high quality polish and wax removing towels in zip lock bags and in a sealed container, wash them separate from everything...

I am currently looking to bring on or work with a experienced detailer in the north New Jersey area. My business is currently located out of Pompton Plains, and we have too many clients to handle. As most of you reading this will already know, not too many people are happy to hear they would...

Don't stress, just read the comments above! These guys pressure washed engines and caused no damage, no nerve needed!

I covered the alternator and battery, then used a hose with low to medium pressure to start and hosed off the engine (while cool) and the rest of the engine bay, used Meguiars all purpose cleaner diluted to 4:1 as the degreaser, scrubbed with detailing brushes, re sprayed it, removed the...

Should have said cool instead of cold, thanks for the share!

Thats what I am saying! I see some rag tag operations as well as professionals use a power washer. I just use gentle hose water and degreaser. Someone told me that "experts" don't give modern engines the credit they deserve on durability and resilience.

I should have added that even in my inexperience I never sprayed the alternator or near the intake. But yeah I just think back on the expensive cars I worked on and gringe over the damage I could have caused!

Just a funny observation I felt like sharing. A few years back when I was learning how to detail I was taught that when cleaning the engine bay to have the engine running during. I was told the heat would seal off the vulnerable compartments by making any water turn to steam before entering. I...

Would rather spend the extra money and do it right!

So far in Jersey I haven't come across a vehcile yet that didn't need compounding, but per your suggestion ordered a white pad and finishing polish and glaze last night! :D

But you're living the life in Palm City! I lived there for 5 years and learned how to detail in Naples Florida. But I appreciate it!

Like 7 hours start to finish, but yeah with the orange. I have been reading everywhere about how most use a 3rd pad for the finishing, but the orange pad on a two step correction works great for me!
