Another good tip, thanks integritydetail Would a typical garden type sprayer be sufficient? Should I invest in one with a removable handle/nozzle?

Thank you A4 1.8tqm, Conor, and tuscarora dave for the very detailed replies. Lots and lots of good tips in there. Here are some things I'll definitely be considering: - Protection, so the need for extensive cleaning isn't even an issue in the first place - Don't be afraid to dedicate some...

As always, nicely done. What do the neighbors think of your driveway decorations? :)

Hey guys, I live in an apartment complex without access to a hose, so all my car washes used to be done at the local self service car wash. I pretty much just used their water with my own bucket, soap and mitt unless it was an emergency/hurried washing. Well a couple weeks ago I ordered some...

Great job, dsms! An absolutely stunning vehicle to work with.

I don't have my own detailing business, but it's a pretty easy formula to figure out how much to charge and how to make a profit. (Profit) = (Amount Charged for Detail) - (Expense per Detail) First find out how much you want/need to make and plug that into (Profit). Next find out exactly how...

Wow, great job. Good colors, spacing, lines, images, everything. Is it being professionally developed? Or did you have a professional design it? Purchase a template? Or is it all developed yourself?

I replaced the headliner in my first car when I was 16, a 92 Olds Cutlass Supreme. My Dad and I found a suitable headliner at a U-Pull-It junkyard, I doubt it cost much more than $20, then had it installed in practically no time at all. I don't remember much about the actual install, but I think...

Those after pics are great, that beautiful paint color really deserves a gloss like that. One thing I would suggest is to distort/delete all instances of the owner's license plate in the pictures!

Nice work, Juan That shop seems like a great place for you to be associated with, lots of nice high end exotics :xyxthumbs:

How about Megs Ultimate Compound? Also, what's a safe time to wait after the engine has been running to be playing with the exhaust tips?

Yep I don't much like to drive in Chicago either. Usually just take a train or taxi for where I need to go.

Wow great job on a beautiful machine! Do you use a brush with ONR for the wheels?

Thanks for providing the correct term, Dwayne :thankyousign: Here are some informational links if anyone is interested in further reading: HowStuffWorks "How does safety glass work?" Wikipedia Entry for Tempered Glass

Try applying the product with a foam paint brush. Let it soak in for a few minutes, then wipe the excess and buff with a MF to a nice, even finish.

That's very likely, and I forgot how those sunglasses can affect glass, but I seem to think I've seen the pattern without them on, too.

Hello, I'm trying to get some information on car windows and those dot patterns that you can see in certain light. To be frank, what the heck is it? On my car, I've only seen them on my side windows but I've seen Bimmers and VWs with the entire rear glass having very visible dot patterns. Is it...

:welcome: I agree with Meghan, beautiful shots. Did you take those yourself? I really dig the movie mural.

I have to agree with the Ultimate Protectant, as far as protection and endurance goes. However, it is not for restoration. I applied it to some mildly faded door pillars and the next day they were mostly back to their original state. I have a bottle of Mothers Back to Black but haven't tried it...
