Yes thank you to everyone. More pads. Makes total sense. A saturated pad will loose its cutting ability. I did my first boat the other day and it presented LOTS of challenges to me that I have to start a new thread on. Man.... I need some advice... Ill put it on the "Making money detailing...."...

CJ.... Won't I be able to use these pads again? For another job? What will they be good for? I've been told they can be used until they break apart. Is it that they are too saturated at the moment? Use again as normal when they dry? Honestly asking. Rob- Route 66 Mobile Detail

What's up Bill. Actually no. Been using one per vehicle. So I should be using at least 2? Please help. That's why I'm on here. Lol.... How many should I be using for an RV (say 35 foot with decent paint or gel coat), Boat (25 ft consol)? Thanks for your help. Rob- Route 66 Mobile Detail

As usual... You guys amaze me with your help. Thank you! I will post pictures. I was worried about it but now... Not at all. I was ready to get rid of the pads. You all have a great, successful week! Rob- Route 66 Mobile Detail

Thank you sooooo much for your info! Rob

Hey guys its Rob (Route 66 Mobile Detail) again. I hope you have all had a great weekend. I had drill (with the Navy Reserves working on the Boeing 737) this weekend so my weekend was pretty jammed up. I have a question about my pads. So far I've detailed 2 vehicles with the white pads. (One for...

Thanks for your help! Great info!

Great pics. Great job! Thanks for your help. Rob- Route 66 Mobile Detail

Great help! Amazing. I believe I will quote my details down to the waterline and charge accordingly for below the bottom. Thank all of you!!! Rob- Route 66 Mobile Detail

My god all your info is AMAZING. You guys are truly so helful. I've been in the military, worked with teams in the car business, guys in the shop while building aircraft... but none have made me feel as welcome to join the community as all of you. Seriously. Thanks! Rob- Route 66 Mobile Detail

Thanks for the info! I've got the Exp citrus. Love it. Ever use Meguiars Super Degreaser?

Question about the hull. If the boat bottom is not painted, are you detailing right down to the bottom. Or is compounding, polishing and waxing left to mainly ABOVE the water line?

Patriot, I really appreciate your post. Here's why... Even though it was just a car... Being my FIRST detail made my so anxious as well. I'm sure my first boat will make me feel the same way. Once I get started I'll be fine. Wow... 550!!!! That's great. Amazing. How easy or difficult was it to...

Wow thanks! All your info is great. I will do my cars first. Motor Kote. Nice!

Engines, who's cleaning that area... Who's not? Is there some sort of liability reason people don't (wires etc...) Should this be done with any auto detail gig? I'll be honest.... I did my first gig and didn't do the engine and I'm feeling pretty bad about it.

One step cleaner wax?

Thank you cardaddy. Yeah I will say for the level of detail, I did think I may have quoted a bit on the light side. Im a bit OCD so I couldnt look further from each aera without getting all the tight spots as clean as I would have expected (having a detailer come out to do MY car). For sure I...

Thanks buddy....

Exactly. It was two people. My wife and I. As for the hourly pay it isn't great but it was the first gig so..... I've been focusing soooo much time concerning with the local RV / boat rates that I was caught off guard with the auto equation. I guess I was being a little naive to think I...

I've got my first boat prospect for this Thursday. Wants hull only. Need to know what I should be asking. Said had barnacles but removed. Left staines from barnacles. Not sure as to what the gel coat condition is. Any input will be helpful. 20 foot.... I will get more info from him in a few...
