Personally I use Zoho. They have a (ridiculously) large selection of apps available, and their support seems good as well. I'm currently using the Invoice app, and will be upgrading the CRM soon. Fantastic mobile applications (as well as a powerful browser counterpart) easily make it easy to...

My feedback will be similar to the others, but here we go... What I would first ask yourself, is what type of detailing will you be primarily performing? Production? Or show-car? We all know those differentiate considerably, and knowing what your primary focus will be will only help determine...

I can highly recommend Auto Obsessed. They generally have plenty (and I mean lots) of stock, very fair pricing and free fast shipment over $150CAD. Always had great experiences with them.

I've been a long-time fan of einszett 1Z Cockpit Premium. After trying various interior treatments, this one, for myself, had the longest lasting effect and leaves the surfaces with a natural, factory feel and sheen

I can agree with your overall point. As I had mentioned, I use it for some of my customers. Recently I took it on as a request, as the customer was knowledgable on detailing as a whole, but simply did not feel comfortable working on their own vehicles. The charts are definitely not for every...

How many of you currently use, or have considered using a Process Breakdown chart for some of your customers? I have recently taken on a new software program which allows me to easily make a Process Breakdown chart, where the customer can see in brief the steps I would be taking on their...

My brother built a large 40x60 shop that I so conveniently have at my disposal. Works out great for jobs like these. LOL - no harm done, & thanks! For whoever was wondering - For the Mustang, I used Sonax Perfect Finish for this. Incredible polish, really. I haven't experienced something...

I had out Ford Raptor in the title as well, but unfortunately I do not have all my photos with me currently. However, the vehicle was brought to me by someone who worked in the oil industry for quite some time and used the vehicle there on a daily basis. Over time, the natural elements (amongst...

Yes - correct. That was my bad. It's been a long night, lol. I didn't copy/paste my job notes. Thank-you for correcting that! Thanks! I really appreciate that I too love single stage paint restoration. It's hard to explain, but the 'instant gratification' of working on this paint really...

Hey everyone. Haven't been very active on here (busy with detailing!) so I figured I'd throw up a couple jobs I've done. I'm an independent detailer working out of Saskatchewan, Canada. And yes - we do have detailing up here! It's not winter all the time ;) First: 1971 Ford Mustang Fastback...

For the most part, just use common knowledge when doing engine detailing. You are correct -- cover up the intake area, as you do not want any sort of moisture getting in this area. Also, look for what sort of raw open-type wiring connections may be in the area, and simply use caution around...

Hey everyone. I'm currently working on a customers car, that has 3M black matte vinyl on it, pinstripe design. It appears that someone hit it with a buffer at some point, as there are some minor lines going down them that are shiny and a normal wash doesn't seem to remove this. No buffer did...

Thanks everyone for the information so far! From what I understand, the Little Green Pro Heat is the same as this one, except this one has the car crevice tool: Bissell Auto Care ProHeat Vacuum | Canadian Tire They look almost identical besides colors from what I can see

Hey everyone. I'm currently looking at getting an affordable carpet cleaner solution, and have read a few great things about the Bissell units. Currently I'm looking at these 2 units: Bissell Auto Care ProHeat Vacuum | Canadian Tire &...

I should mention that this will be a learning experience for me with a polisher, as I have only ever done my waxes by hand, but have heard the many benefits of using a polisher

OK, so here is my current list. Let me know what you think! -- Griots 6" HD Polisher Kit: - WG Total Swirl Remover 3.0 - WG Finishing Glaze 3.0 - Various pads - Griot’s Garage Random Orbital Wolfgang Duo -- WG Deep Gloss Paint Sealant -- Menzerna FG400 -- Menzerna SF-4000 --...

Just a couple pictures of my car, for reference. Lots of very small swirl marks that you see on most vehicles. I'm looking to get rid of them, and make it have a nice wet, deep gloss shine!

OK so I will try to make a general response to everyone: Firstly, I thank everyone so far for their contribution. Secondly, regarding prices, experience, etc., I am not extremely experienced, and have not really used a polisher much yet. Have up till now been doing things by hand. As for...

I took a look over your list there, and it seems quite nice to be honest. I'm a little wary about spending $400 on an orbital, though. Otherwise that is a great list. I generally like sticking to a limited amount of brands, but again, I am looking for a great job. Don't exactly want to break...

Can't edit my responses for some reason, so I'll just add this in. I believe I will go with the Wolfgang kit as Pikki suggested, just as it has everything needed to get going. I was thinking of the Wolfgang duo kit, plus this kit for the wax, sealant, and pre-wax: Wolfgang Fuzion Estate Wax...
