    I Have Finally Seen it All. ..... hopefully....

    I wouldn't even know what category to put this in so here goes..... I had a twin interior/exterior yesterday. 2 SUV's . Upon arriving saw that the one was in pretty severe shape on the inside due to what I can only assume was food and coffee drippings everywhere and a ridiculous amount of dog...

    Audi A6 Delivered by Carmax..... Compound sling included.

    Thanks so much ! Yeah, I don't know how that car got out the door like that. No clue what Carmax policies are as far as detailing, but this one slipped through the cracks for sure.... or they did it in the dark

    Audi A6 Delivered by Carmax..... Compound sling included.

    One of my regular customers received this A6 from Carmax. It arrived with compound sling literally on every panel AND the interior door gaskets. Easy enough to remove, but made me wonder why they would have compounded the whole car unless it was resprayed and not reported. Used 303 Tire cleaner...

    Flatbed Pricing?

    Yeah, once you get in with a HOA the calls start coming in like crazy. As soon as I see Nazareth on my phone or messenger I know within a couple of blocks exactly where I'm going .

    Random Orbital question # 10,000

    I learned very early on that all pads/pad colors are not the same. Some pads also don't hold product the same way as others. For this reason, I have stayed with Lake Country Hydro Tech pads. I get the same results almost every time (some cars are taking more effort than others). I also try to...

    Flatbed Pricing?

    I had them at $460 for what was basically my base interior/exterior package for the cab and wheels, and cleaning the deck and rails. It also included a slight upcharge due to it being outside my normal travel range, but we had discussed that up front. I thought it was fair for both sides taking...

    Ceramic coat residue on glass

    My son did the same thing. He was "helping" me with my own car. Any cleaner wax and a buffer will take it off. I used Meg's and my Porter Cable DA

    Flatbed Pricing?

    Yeah, I was also thinking I may have just dodged a bullet. If my price was too high for them and they had gone for it I'm pretty sure they would have been standing over my shoulder the entire time.

    Flatbed Pricing?

    Taking everything into account, I gave the customer a price and they promptly stopped answering my messages. My price was extremely reasonable and literally listed everything that would be done. Customer was hot and heavy to get it done by this weekend and I happened to have a cancellation on...

    Flatbed Pricing?

    So glad you guys chimed in. The first thing that went through my head as far as what to bring was "ladders". What I wound up doing this morning was laying down a basic list as far as what I would normally do for an interior / exterior as a guide for the cab. Once I had that laid out I had to...

    Flatbed Pricing?

    Good point. Will absolutely take that into account. Pretty much the reason I need to see it first. The main variable for me is going to be what kind of shape the deck is in as well as any leaks or grease on the frame. Hopefully will be hearing back from them shortly.

    Flatbed Pricing?

    Hey all. I just received a request for a detail on a flat bed tow truck. Having never even thought of this kind of work, I really hadn't thought about how to price it. I was thinking hourly rate plus travel time and fuel (it is outside my normal travel range). They are looking for full...

    New to Detailing - Wash/Microfiber/Device Recommendations

    What works for everyone else may not end up being your preference. I switch products here and there but my 2 mainstays are my Porter Cable DA polisher with Lake Country pads and 303 Speed Detailer
