    Does it really cost $500 to detail your own car?

    The forum can help you better if you state A) what is your ideal budget B) what exactly you are trying to achieve? i.e - just a sparkling new car, restoring a beat up daily driver, or making show car perfect paint?

    Are my prices to high?

    Perhaps you can put a FAQ section on your website or a page where you can describe what sets you and you work apart from "the other guys." Consumers love to be educated. Maybe a couple of "before" and "after" paint correction photos next to the description of correction. Also pictures of...

    POLL - What's the number one most important factor when it comes to polishing paint?

    As someone relatively inexperienced to polishing paint compared to the veterans on this website, I firmly believe that the tools and abrasive technology make it easy for even the greenest detailer to produce nice results. With that said, you can give me the greatest tools and abrasives, and I...

    2016 Lexus is350 f-sport snow shovel damage!

    Oh man. This made me feel so guilty because a few weeks ago when we got hit with the blizzard, I accidentally put a deep scratch along the bottom of the door to my Father's SVT Lightning. Last summer I did a full correction and coated it with Gloss-Coat, so I am going to wait until e warmer...

    BLACKFIRE Crystal Seal (New Formula) - Review

    This is my experience with the original formula Crystal Seal. The marketing behind it is great, but I haven't experienced very good durability on even properly prepped paint. At the price point of these boutique, higher priced products, my expectation is that the testing has been completed by...

    Hey Mustang guys...

    KMG has my favorites covered. I find that Corral is a great resource for drivetrain/power adder type questions, and MustangForums the best for questions regarding setting up your suspension.

    Blackfire Crystal Coat problems...

    I tried it yesterday as I had some areas of paint transfer on my Lexus that I had to correct and I obviously took go the Cquartz in doing so. I opened a brand new bottle that was sent to me a few weeks ago. Like the OP, the product turned sticky almost instantly while applying and I could not...

    1993 Nissan Skyline GT-R (Godzilla!!)

    An AOI can only perform so much correction. They work well for bringing well kept cars back up to a nice shine. But if a vehicle's paint has been neglected then you might need to step it up to a more aggressive compound. I do understand your predicament considering that you already have clear...
