    Some of you guys who are charging so little, how do you guys do it?

    I'm going with 4 sets of arms, I just looked at his yelp profile and it just shows him and another guy, not sure which one is the owner Matt though. Photos of his work look good and at that rate if he live where I am he would be booked up a year in advance.

    Glue like substance on both painted metal & plastic

    Sap can and will drip like that in a hot environment. If it has been on there a long time it could turn whitish looking. Try some IPA straight if it is sap. May take a little work to get off though if it has been on there a while.

    Front Bumper Scuff, Deep Key Scratch - Audi A8

    Front bumper looks like an bad respray (improper prep bad adhesion), I'd get that bumper repainted the right way.

    Paint thickness questions

    Couldn't agree more, after compound and polishing paint for year and years now, I would never trust a detailer that didn't have one. I don't like playing the paint thickness guessing game with a $3K or a $450K car.

    Flex pe8 vs rupes mini

    I got my PE-8 last November and have used it a handful of times until it broke. The pinion gear is missing a couple of teeth. Getting Flex North America to help is like pulling teeth. I wish I had bought the mini instead.

    Detailing advertising?

    Website, good SEO, a good facebook page and you'll have the phone ringing off the hook. Potential clients LOVE to see examples of your work and you can show that off on your website and facebook page. If you can get to the top of google for your local market, it's simply amazing how much work...

    Pre-Prime Sales Event! 25% Off + Free Shipping Over $150 through Monday Night!

    Yup, same happened to me earlier tonight, was charged $5 shipping and paid with a gift certificate so probably WAY more hassle than it's worth.

    Road Paint

    Road paint can be a complete pain in the butt to remove as you have found out, those that "try" and recommend a one size that fits all solution are just plain wrong. You found a solution that worked so good for you.

    Hard water spots on glass

    If that stuff worked on all types of water spots, it would be worth way more than the current asking price. Sadly, badly etched glass needs something way more aggressive. I have seen water spots so bad the glass needed to be replaced.

    Ever reschedule a customer because it's TOO hot?

    I detail in all weather no matter the heat. I used to work doing drywall in 108°+ weather and no guessing what it was in the skylights. I no longer am mobile (thank god) and can control my work temp to a degree (fans etc, no AC)

    Removing Gum from microfiber cloth seats

    Yep, I have a specific gum and candle wax remover that freezes it super cold and then you can pick it out, works way better than trying to dissolve it with solvents.

    2008 Mercedes E55 AMG White Calcite correct and clean.

    Car looks great, and with a licence plate like that, I bet your lucky to get 90%:xyxthumbs: Excellent work and it looks beyond good for an 08.

    Holy Griot's BOSS G21 fail

    Just an FYI, Griots Garage went above and beyond to get me taken care of. Got a new polisher and have had no issues thus far with the new G21. One thing is for sure, Griot's customer service, as well as autogeeks has been great. If feel much better knowing Griot's stands behind their products...

    Topless Mustang getting the Finest love

    Great work on that Mustang. That car needed a lot of love. Skill and time are needed, that is what sets a professional quality detailer above an average one.

    Holy Griot's BOSS G21 fail

    Right before the backing plate and spindle few off it started to violently wobble. Just enough time for me to get it off the paint. Looks like the snap ring failed since the snap ring groove looks OK.

    Holy Griot's BOSS G21 fail

    Was half way through polishing this Mustang when the backing plate decided to fly off while polishing the door. This could have ended badly but no damage was done. Scared the heck out of me though.

    Detailing website and Google

    You will no doubt get a ton of phone calls if you have a good facebook page. That and a website (with good SEO) are the an excellent way to get your name out there, and potential customers can more importantly SEE what they are getting before booking an appt. Just got done with this bad boy...
