I wouldn't be doing this for free. A simple detail can go from 4-6 hours to 8-12 hours or even more if you start taking the swirls out for free. Make sure you charge accordingly because your time is worth money and so is your product. It's perfectly OK to do this for free on your practice cars...

I like the slickness of the Ultimate Quick wax. I use it after just about every wash.

Have you posted this on any Camaro 5th gen boards? When I first read this I posted a link to it on my local forum. They think it's a repaint. Question for black metallic 5th gen owners - Chicago 5th Gen Camaro Club

Never heard of Shoe polish on trim. BUT, I worked on this Expedition that was in pretty bad shape and the trim was so faded it was almost white. I tried to do my best and used a ton of Ultima Trim and Tire Gaurd on it. So what does she do? She says "I know an old trick" and proceeds to get a...

D.Acker had one last year but I didn't find out until the day after. Sucks cause I only live a few miles from him.

Congrats on the new car! They tried to pull that crap with me when I bought my first new to me pre-owned car. I told them I already got approved for a certain finance rate through my credit union. The sales guy said "No problem, we can match it". Well when I went so sign and pick up the car the...

I have an 03 Buick regal and I know that we have plastic coated leather. My 2 front seats have cracks in them but the backs are perfect. I still add some aero 303 to my entire interior every few months.

I also applied 845 back in October on my black car. Every 3 weeks I apply Ultimate Quick Wax after a wash and it looks absolutely amazing. The surface is very slick and wet looking and stays that way for a while. Even with all of this winter salt we get

Oh yeah I Forgot to mention if you go on youtube just search Optimum No Rinse people have demonstrations on there.

Well different people have different methods. I personally will just put 2 gallons of water in 1 bucket with a grit gaurd. Then fill another bucket with 2 gallons of water and an ounce of Optimum no Rinse. Then I dip my wash mitt in the bucket with the ONR and wash one panel and then dry. The...

Hey welcome fellow TCGer!!!

I could not find myself working under any kind of dealership. To them time is money and the faster you go and the more cars you finish the better for them. I take too much pride in my work. I would rather it take twice as long and have a phenominal final result then to rush through it and do...

As long as you keep up with the maintenance of your wheels and clean them weekly you will be fine using ONR on them. Just use a rag in the solution or do what I do. I use some ONR diluted at quick detailer solution in a spray bottle and spray it on the wheel and use a microfiber.

Wow that looks great! Love the color!! Are those after market wheels? Check out my brothers mazda 6 that I did some work on. http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/show-n-shine/37476-2003-mazda-6-a.html

What do the products have to do with anything? Maybe you haven't swirled your car because it could have a harder clear coat. Mine is very soft and if you look at it the wrong way it gets swirls. That's why I use a leaf blower to dry it now.

Ya I would also vacuum as well. I hate doing interiors. It seems like I get the real nasty ones too. At least you can avoid doing the little compartments that kids tend to stick gum and lollipops in. This way you wont have a ton of extra work and it will still appeal to the customer.

Whoa no interiors? Seems like people by me mostly care about their interiors being clean. Not to be sexist, but mostly women. I usually end up cleaning up after kids messes as well. If you have tired this in the past and been successful then I see no problem.

Wow looks like you guys had a busy weekend! Does he race it? Any idea what it's supposed to run?

Hello there fellow Illinoisn!

Tires I apply with a foam tire pad Trim- it depends on how big the trim is but I will either use the foam applicator it came with or one of those foam paint sticks and paint it on. Then a few minutes later I buff it with a microfiber. You may need to do a second coat. If that doesn't work I...
