    If you do decide to go that route, just be careful around the areas that are normally painted aluminum. Usually around the slides, door, and storage compartments.

    Gel Coat/ Fiber Glass / Top Coat Question - Any experience please respond!

    A friend of mine wet sanded his RV, it wasn't as much work as it sounds (a lot of flat big area and he did it by hand) but he didn't have to remove a coat of Clear. Maybe you could try that on an edge where the peeling and gel meet to see what it would take. If the customer is willing to pay for...

    Gel Coat/ Fiber Glass / Top Coat Question - Any experience please respond!

    I have been told Gel coats are usually 15-20 mils thick and companies usually don't clear over gel coat being gel is harder. Can you see any fibers showing? Can it be an aftermarket coating that is peeling? Can you post some photos? I had a few that had fiber showing and just worked enough to...

    I'm taking over my friend's detailing business!

    What happens it the business grows (double or triple, New clients) will he get 40% of that business? What if 40% doesn't cover expenses? There should be a time frame where the business evolves into a partnership where you get paid for your labor hours, then expenses get taken out and then...

    $10.00 hand car wash/detailers

    I stopped by your webpage (very nice) and I noticed you do quite a few RVs. Great work on the RVs and Buses.

    Duragloss...what is they hype about? OPINIONS???

    The main issue is the prep. Heavy Oxidation is almost impossible to be removed by hand and with using a swirl remover you would probably need Tommy john surgery afterwards. If you are not claying you will not get an exceptional finish like explained earlier. If you can only do it by hand you...

    Hologram Free with a Rotary Buffer

    I'm pretty new to detailing, but have been doing a lot of RVs for the last few years, and a few cars and trucks. I guess I started off like most doing my own and then a friend or two and before you know it you are getting business. They are mostly in very bad condition; I started off with a PC...
