    Do i use the orange pad that came with my Griots Da polisher OR the "fast finishing microfiber" pad WITH Reflect polish

    IMO if you are using a GG-6, it also depends on the paint condition and wax you are using. On my wife's 2005 Honda Accord, I use the orange pad with the GG one step paint sealant. I use light pressure due to the car has some micro scratches and I don't want an aggressive cut. For my 2015 Escape...

    Reinvesting into your business.

    My question has probably been asked many times before, so let me ask this again... I am now starting to generate income from part time detailing, and I would like to expand some on my equipment. From the money I am making, I would like to take maybe 50 percent of the income and invest into items...

    Finally purchased my Griot's Garage 6" Random orbital

    Absolutely love my GG-6. I pretty much keep on hand the gg orange, and red pads. My only problem is that I am debating on converting my GG-6 to the 5.5 inch pads, or going for the GG-3" random orbital. I like the 6.5 " pads for larger vehicles, but would like something to get into tight spots as...

    Nasty 2003 Nissan Quest

    So I took on a challenge of getting this 2003 Nissan Quest back to a decent ride. This thing was down right nasty, but the customer was as happy as a pig in poo. Not to mention that he even threw in a fifty dollar tip on top of what I charged him. eyecandyautodetail

    Do friends ask you to detail their cars?

    This thread is ironic to me, the other night my neighbor asked me to detail their mini van they are getting ready to sale. He told me just to make it clean, and as nice as you can, and tell me how much I owe you.

    I picked that car because my dad worked for Mr. Shelby back in the 60's. He repainted this Shelby Daytona back in 1964.

    I would tend to think that godaddy would let you redirect the url without having to purchase any premium package.

    How old is everyone? (kind of a poll)

    My wife will say the same about me. Sometimes, she says I'm her 4th child. Lol

    How old is everyone? (kind of a poll)

    What you mean? Hell I am 48 years old and just starting out. You are only as old as you feel. I work full time and a lot more at my regular job. Then trying to get my part time detailing company going. I only wish I was 38 again. 😀

    So far I like Word Press and wix.com. Been designing my site for the past few weeks now. Once I purchase the domain name, I will throw it out here for critiquing. What I am liking about wix, is the ability to edit in mobile site design and not affect your desktop version of your site. IMO, more...

    Web Hosting Services For Web Site.

    Found wix.com this morning and so far I am really liking it. Pretty easy to build, but on some features, you have to think a little outside the box, but overall, I give it a thumbs up.

    You would think that working for the 2nd largest cable company in the U.S. as my full time job would offer some type of hosting service. I would love to see a tutorial on Word Press. I will have to look deeper into that and start playing around. Thanks everyone for the input.
