Glass (inside and outside) is the last step for me as well. What I do is spray the glass with a glass cleaner, wipe it, let it dry for a minute or so, then go back with a dry cloth and "buff" it Mr. Miyagi style...No streaks but a P.I.T.A. process! I agree with a lot of you saying pet hair and...

Ok, for fun..What is your least favorite thing to do during a detail job? I'll start it off..My least favorite things are scrubbing wheel wells and cleaning the glass (inside and outside)..Next?!

Me and my toys :) My '99 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS-T and my 2015 Chevy Colorado Z-71 crew cab, short bed. Took my Eclipse to a car show that day

Awesome write up, man :) What I always do is constantly keep the vehicle wet during the entire washing process even when you are cleaning wheel wells, wheels, tires, etc. Keep spraying the vehicle down! Don't give the water any time to dry at all until you are completely ready to towel off...

Hi Dave and welcome! Feel free to ask anything :)

Thanks guys! It's cool to get to know everyone in our detailing community, from us experienced guys to even the detailing newbies :) I am about to book the entire month of August with appointments with me tonight..My normal job is in sales at a Chevy, Cadillac, Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep, Ram Trucks...

Thanks Mike! Here is a pic of my new truck as well. I just got this one a month ago. 2015 Chevy Colorado Z-71 crew cab, short bed. It's loaded and is an awesome truck :)

Hi Ron and welcome! :) I just signed up here as well and am from Franklin, PA in Venango County..I think Dauphin is across the state from me? I'm about an hour and a half north of Pittsburgh

I'm new at this and don't quite know how to post up pics yet..But I have attached a pic of my '99 Eclipse GS-T to this post here..I have owned it for 12 years now and bought it bone stock and have customized it from there..It only has 54,000 original miles on it and the paint is still immaculate...

Thanks everybody! Your kind words and welcomeness are joyously overwhelming! :)
