Crispy - I started attacking it with clay. It helped but didn't improve it much. I graduated to machine polishing. Again, it helped but didn't fix it. I moved to the heaviest compound I had... applied by hand. No change. That's where I left it. Ronkh57 - you may be onto something. The...

Here in the Northwest, spring brings pollen so thick, it turns cars green if they're stationary for a few days. If that coat of pollen gets wet it can eat into clear coat and more. My Prius has a black plastic wing on the back. I think it's plastic. The wing is circled in red in the picture...

I recently did my first two SUV's. Two Porsche Cayenne's. Ouch. It took me a long time to detail those vehicles and compared to the time I take and what I charge, SUV's look unattractive cars right now. Here's the data. I'm currently charging the following for a basic (single step) exterior...

Jomax - I shouldn't have said "polish". I should have said "wax". The car is fairly new and well maintained so it didn't need any abrasive. I just put a coat of wax on it. Bill

Thanks for the inspiration. I did a Porsche Panamera today and the result was a big improvement. Wheels - 30 minutes - I have no idea how I got them done so much faster today. Wash & decontaminate - 1 hour - I got some Nanoskin and used the recommended technique of combining the wash and...

Someone asked for a picture. Well, first I have to give a bunch of excuses. This was taken with my cell phone not my SLR, the lighting is far from good (note the blue tint on the side of the car), and I'm far from an expert at taking pics to show off detailing. I'll work it out eventually...

My Nanoskin stuff will be here in a couple days. I've been anxious to try it out. Thank you Calendyr, your posts have been helpful. Bill

If you say that you can do all that in 2 hours, I can only believe you. A couple comments/questions are in order: Wheels - can you really get brake dust off a wheel with just wheel acid and a pressure washer (PW)? Every time I've tried a PW on wheels it left a tiny film of dust that I had to...

I was going to say the same thing... That's fast... but it's not the first time I've heard numbers like that and that's why I'm writing this. Let's look at the claybar - I took 60 minutes and GSKR says it can be done in 30 minutes. Yeah, a simpler car could take 10 minutes or so off the time...

I'm new to the business. I know I can do really good work. What I'm unsure of is how fast I am. If I'm slow, I'm leaving money on the table. So read on and share your thoughts. The car - The car for this example is a Mercedes CLK 63 AMG Black Series. It's silver. The car was well kept but...
