South Jersey welcomes you to the Forum. 57@borntorun Its funny, I met Quincy when he and his band played a show for the students at my school.

All this is very disheartening. I did heavy research, contacted the manufacturer, and then made a large purchase to properly perform this entire job. I'm still able to fix the diamond plate and the uncoated metal fender wells, but the largest portion of the trailer is untreatable. wow... I...

I got to work early this morning. I wanted to do another round of test, to better show what I'm dealing with here. I'll describe the photos below. 1. Taped out my test areas / before photo 2. Post Polishing Left - GG6", Surburf Pad, Megs 105 Center Top - Flex Rotary, Surburf Pad...

@Tuscarora Dave Thanks for your links...I actually read through these prior to receiving the trailer. I took another look, and a closer look at the photos and two things stick out to me. First, the second link, second photo that you asked me to look at. The upper left corner looks very much...

No, I wont be wet sanding this project. The customer knew going in that the trailer was trashed and doesn't expect it to end up being flawless, but I certainly expected a bit better results.

Continued working on the trailer this am, as I focused on the top. Similar to the rest of the trailer, nothing wants to clean up. I was using an AIO and it was being absorbed quickly. So, I switched gears and applied Megs #7. I allowed it to dwell for a while, then polished the are with the...

I spoke with the manufacturer and they told me the aluminum isn't coated. I'd beg the differ from what I'm seeing on my test panels.

Thanks funx725. I'll be workin on these vehicles at the customers homes and I always do a thorough walk around with the customer and have them sign off on my form.

300$...was a no brainer. One interior detail and a basic exterior and I've made my investment back.

Thanks rmagnus...the roof will be receiving my attention tomorrow am!

This past Friday, I was contacted by Good Life Media, as they are putting together their preferred vendor list for next year. They wanted to feature a mobile detailing and they contacted me! Below is a blip from their webpage. Good Life Media - Our Company...

I could go 105 and a Yellow CCS Pad

I was contacted by a client that asked if I could detail her horse trailer. I'd never had the experience, but why not give it a try. The trailer was dropped off and I have it for almost two weeks, while she is away on vacation. I'll be plugging away at this, around a few other jobs I have...

Look at what the Delivery Man dropped off...a "NEW" Flex Rotary Polisher, along with all the tools and products to properly polish metal! This kit was purchased for an upcoming 17' Aluminum, Fiberglass, Diamond Plate. Included in this package are the following: Flex PE14-2-150Rotary...

It's also a write off, so I'll make a bit of that back come tax season.

Even a properly polished and protected metal trailer will eventually succumb to oxidation. The difference on the second go around, it may be less work because the condition is improved upon its initial detail. The owner is also heavily involved in the horse scene an travels regularly to...

I have a client requesting their horse trailer to be detailed. The trailer is 17' and its entirely brushed aluminum, diamond plate, and fiberglass roof. I quoted the job at 800$. I would have qouted 1k but I'm close with the family and they've given me a lot of business. Anyway, in order to...

Good Afternoon, I have a client with an odd collection of vehicles. One of them being a 1978 Toyota Cressida. The owner explained that he took the vehicle out, ran into a store, and returned to a wet vehicle after a quick rain came through (he was pissed at the weather man to say the least.)...

Your exactly right. I got to a point where I stopped working on all customer and used car details and focused on new car prep, but eventually, I became tired of the entire dealership production mode and left after graduating college. I spoke with the lady that is doing the leg work on filling...

I'm stuck on this Toyota Water Spot Removal. I started out as stated, with the least aggressive product and pad combo, slowly workin my way up, when the combos didn't work. I ended at Meg's 105 and an Orange LC Pad. It had absolutely no effect and I'm honestly surprised at the little amount...
