    Stupid things your customers have asked

    I did some work for a dealer. An old red bmw. For the most part the clear was in ok shape except for the passenger side door and front grill. He wanted it polished up and I told him it wont last long. He didn't care, he just wanted it to look ok till he sold it. I hit it with my DA, slapped some...

    Ford F-150 plastic grill help

    Mothers back to black. Make sure it's clean first. Then apply a generous coat. Let sit a few minutes and wipe off. It may need another coat. But what I have noticed, the longer you let it sit, the better it works. It does a great job so long as you give it some time. I apply it with a cheap foam...

    Stupid things your customers have asked

I normally dont like charging surcharges but with groupon I need to get my moneys worth. Anyways, a customer with a hummer asked me if there was a surcharge for his hummer. I said...

    I'm having some problems cleaning really really bad carpets

    I'm thinking pull the carpet out, lay it out on the driveway, get a power washer, degreaser and a good scrub brush lol That way you don't even need to worry about the water getting any deeper

    Stupid things your customers have asked

    HAHA! I've had people think cracked bumpers would buff out. The first time someone said it I went along with it because I thought they were joking. Then I realized they weren't kidding lol I've also had one lady say I didn't clean her headlights well enough. They were oxidized. I tried to...

    The most over-rated products?

    The funny thing is I can't find a bad review about it. I was surprised. I followed the directions so I can't figure out why it's not working. Most reviews that have anything negative to say about it refer to the price. That wasn't even a big deal lol If it worked I would have been fine with it...

    The most over-rated products?

    meguiars wash and wax anywhere. I was out of ONR and on my way to a job a few weeks ago so I stopped into auto zone to see what I could find. I trust Megs products so I figured it would do at least a decent job. It did not. The first thing I noticed was the horrible smell. I don't know how to...

    White Ford F250 (lots of pictures)

    I'm not sure exactly what you mean but I go over it with the vacuum to suck up any extra water. I don't find myself emptying the tank. I usually refill my tank 2-3 times for the whole detail. But then again I'm only extracting with the water once I've scrubbed everything down first. I don't use...

    Iron Man PT Cruiser 50/50 shots

    I just did the hood. You couldn't see the swirls easily on the gold paint and ironically the swirls weren't too bad on the roof. It took me about 30 minutes. I got my moneys worth on the detail but I didn't make anything off of the correction. Again, I did it because I wanted to, and because the...

    How much to charge for paint correction?

    If I were to use 105/205 method, I would start out at $100 for a mid size car. That's what my market seems to accept.

    How much to charge for paint correction?

    I charge depending on the job. But generally it's $50-100. $50 for fixing a few scuffs around the vehicle. $100 for 105/205 over the whole car. Bigger vehicles, the price goes up. Sometimes people are just interested in fixing the scuffs. Or if I cant sell them on that, then I offer a 1 step...
