So I'm gonna take it a step further and say that as far as the type of VEHICLE I like detailing the least..............RVs!!! Good $ but having to get up and down a ladder a million times really chafes my a$$. Cars etc...? So far I've still got a lot to learn as far as polishing goes so I...

Awesome thanks. I NEED it now. Booked a paint correction for Monday. Guy got a "paint job" on his ElCamino and it looks weird in some spots. Like "moddling" in some spots. That's what I found while researching what's actually going on with the paint. I hope I can fix with a three step process...

Happy Holidays! Quick question... which retail auto parts store has the biggest selection of paint correction products polishes, finishing glaze etc??? Thanks... Rob

Im trying to put up some pictures of a car that was recently painted. Wondering if anyones seen this. When I try to add the pic it tells me "failed". What can I be doing wrong. Please help... Rob

Thanks for your help. I've done some research on YouTube etc... on this but I feel better getting the assurance from guys that are currently on here. Great advice!

Quick question. Before polishing a car/truck, obviously I'm washing it first. As far as the road grime/tar on the panels behind the wheels... that needs to come off before I polish. Is it safe for me to use degreaser for this since im going to be applying wax anyway? Rob

Agreed. Just years ago at 39 I was doing 100K. But anyway.... There are many factors huh? Demographics of area, your work quality etc... This much is true... I WILL be asking for more based on my work and what my area can draw. I mean, living near the headquarters of PGA has got to mean...

You guys rule. Thanks for your help. dcjredline, I have to agree with you there. I like the "getting paid what your work is worth" approach.

I live right smack in the middle of the 3 wealthiest counties in FL.

So we started our business with the intent of primarily detailing RVs and boats. Were doing boats, RVs, bikes and cars which is great. Given the season is cooling off for boating and RVing here in north Florida, I'm happy with the calls were getting. Lots of cars/Suvs etc... How much in your...

For now were doing 75 for sportsters, 100 dynas, 125 touring. 50 for each wheel if spokes. No machines. Hand polish all. Can use a polisher but were staying away from them for the bikes. Elbow grease through and through....

Thanks. I'm new at this and getting steady business so I'm trying to get as much info as I can.

Ok. So what I'm hearing is Stoners Glass Cleaner and 0000 steel wool? What type of prep work are you referring to? Thanks for your help man!
