Ditto what Van185 said. What is it you want to do or eventually learn to do. If you want a clean, shiny car- basic wash, clay, wax/sealant/ or AIO product. If you have the $$$, something like a PC7424xp. Vacuum and wipe down inside, dress the tires. That's a lot of work and your car will look...

At AutoGeek's, "Detailfest", Jason Rose, from Meguiar's gave a great demonstration on cleaning stain removal; it's available on this forum: http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/2014-autogeek-detailfest/77172-official-2014-detail-fest-live-feed-conversation-thread.html I use a steamer with the...

Thanks for the nice comments. It's a pretty black and it's a pain to keep looking nice.

Presoaked blue MF towels in ONR, Optimum Polish II on white Chemical Guys pad, Optimum Finish Polish on Gray LC Pad, alcohol wipe down, Opti-coated.

Just an observation: It's somewhat amusing that only on a detailer's forum will folks argue about washing cars.

Reservoirs aren't always the answer when the sun evaporates most of it. SA's water is an underground aquifer which produces very hard water but what's insane is we're growing faster than we than we can capture water; and we want a Tesla plant down here and we still plant St. Augustine yards...

There are cities that are becoming more restrictive about water usage and water waste and so techniques like the two bucket method or presoaked towel method are becoming a necessity. Where I live, San Antonio, Texas, we're in a drought and water rates are predicted to triple in the next three...

Somewhere I got the idea that about 3% of the people who own cars will have them, "detailed"; and I cannot remember where I read that. If accurate, that can give you an idea about the detailing market in your area. As I see it, how much is it going to cost you to do a car? Car Wash, (Clay, Clay...

Absolutely great pics, many thanks! I hope you folks found it successful. Short of something catastrophic in my life, if you have a 10th year detail fest I am totally there.

Oh yes, Audio S6 is correct and I forgot. I use an air compressor to blow the ONR out of the "cracks". It's frustrating to "finish the car" and then see a liquid streak down the side of the car next day.

New car: 1) Spray the car with a waterless product (Detailer's Pro Waterless Auto Wash or Chemical Guys Eco-smart), wipe down with pre-soaked, blue microfiber towels in ONR, dry with green microfiber guzzler towels. 2) (New cars, especially white) Carpro Iron-X Iron remover 3) Clay with ONR as...

From my perspective, and I'll assume the quality of your work was incredible: this was your first, paid detail job. The guy paid you $100 for experimenting on his car. You know you're good, but nobody else does. I've spent 5 hours on a full detail and got paid, like $50. When you subtract...

My suggestion is to contact Anthony or Ron at AutoConcours in San Antonio. I'm not trying to "plug" their business but they used Opti-coat before it was known to the public and, in the past, they've talked about spraying it. Whether or not they do, I can't say but my guess, they've tried it. San...

Dude, Yancy is the man.

Hey Guys, San Antonio here 1) Thanks for doing the Live Feed thing & doing it so well, this is uber cool 2) It's going up on Youtube? Uber cooler.

I use a steamer to clean wheels, love it.

When I wash cars, I almost always use ONR with pre-soaked towels (like 99% of the time) and I read somewhere a while back to use Iron-X on white cars. I turned the water on only to wash off panels as they were completed. Since it was overcast and cool the Iron-X drying on the paint was not an...

Instead of using Klasse Sealant, I opted for Menzerna Powerlock

Mike once said, If it has paint it gets touched. Door Jamb and wheel well

Yes. When I read your post I freaked out and checked it. Sorry about your product going bad. Don't know that location would matter but, I'm located in south central Texas, the product has been kept in the box in an enclosed garage, and it looks just like the picture shows. I haven't tried it so...
