I can go to either Mobile Tech Expo or Detail Fest. With my wife going along (to make sure I behave), Mobile Tech Expo is right at $1,000 room & air flight. Detail Fest is a little over $1300. Both have detailing seminars, both a products & manufacturers; Orlando in January or West Palm Beach in...

Dude, this is amazing

A guy brought in a Mini Cooper for a wash and wax. The process was CG Glossworkz, Pinnacle clay w/ONR as the lubricant, buffed with Optimum GPS; it turned out nice but I had a couple of issues that were beyond a car wash and wax- and I showed the owner. 1) on the painted white wheels was years...

I enjoyed the whole series of shows. The one thing that caught my attention was actually the previous episode, Mike asked the car owner something like, "How old is the paint and how thick is the clear coat?" I wish I knew to ask those questions about 7 years ago when I burned through some...

Hey Man, Welcome to the forum. In my opinion, I don't know that any online classes are worth the expense because the basics of detailing a "car" are evaluation and process. To me evaluation means, what condition is the car in and what is your customer expecting? Process includes: a method of...

Thanks for the answer- makes sense to me. Does anyone track sales after these shows. I have a pretty decent supply of products, pads, and machines but I'm watching the show thinking- "that product looks cool", "I'm gonna get me some of that". So after my wife goes to sleep I bravely place my order.

Mike, I have a paint question. When you arrived at Samson Design you asked the owner how long ago the Mercedes had been painted and he said a little over a week ago. You guys did your typical amazing job polishing and the sealing. I thought new paint needed a month to, "out gas" - something like...

What I like about the beginning part in the motor coach was the discussion about the car itself- the different types of surfaces and how each had to be addressed differently, the point of Mike being called in- auction? SEMA? hot rod show- all needing a little different outcome. At the hot rod...

Of the three episodes that I've seen, I liked this episode the most. On some of the Velocity and Discovery shows, on which cars are built or rebuilt, the cars look amazing, the craftsmanship is incredible but, sometimes, the paint has obvious swirls or the paint just looks flat. On this episode...

I saw episode 1, missed episode 2, saw episode 3. Currently, you can only see the episodes at assigned times. For the most part the current "car" shows are: 1) build/restore a car in 30 minutes or I'm going bankrupt, 2) built around an interesting or "charismatic" personality- make sure...

The worm towel is the microfiber wash mit: Supreme Micro-Chenille Wash Mitt, microfiber wash mitt, washing mitt

In answer to your question should you use, Iron-X, I think it depends. Are you doing this as an enthusiast or trying to make a living? As an enthusiast you can spend all kinds of money because it's a hobby that you practice on your own car and maybe a few others- that's me and yes, I use it. If...

I understand that's expensive to do the live feed thing and there's a lot going on, but I too miss the classes. Earlier today I was watching people go in and out of the bathroom- fortunately there were no wardrobe malfunctions. I checked out. Would there be a way to charge watchers for the live...

If there's a BOGO on microfiber towels around Christmas, I guess I know what to get her.

The other day I was cleaning the inside of my sister-in-law's car. I saw a "bird bomb" on the hood and told her I would take care of it. My sister-in-law said, "I'll go get a paper towel and clean it off." I said, "Would you clean yourself with a paper towel?" She looked disgusted and said...

Eldorado2K, so basically wash the bedliner and spray on the Meguiars' product, like sooner rather than later?

I purchased a 2016 Toyota Tacoma double cab and it came with a bedliner. The bedliner doesn't have a brand name that I can see. It's bolted in, not sprayed on. Do these things oxidize? Should I put some protection on it like 303 Protectant?

Hey man, Welcome. San Antonio also

I like and use their soaps and I've used their hexalogic pads but I've had some issues with the pads coming apart. They have some cool shirts.
