Unfortunately I'm too new to this to reject jobs. This is also a return client who is motivated to have some other vehicles done so it would be a shame to turn all of that away with it. I've been realistic in telling him that things like the rust won't get much better, but I can apply some...

I'll be detailing a client's Indian motorcycle on Monday. It's a beautiful bike but it lives in a salty environment and hasn't been maintained all that well. I'll have access to power on the job site but no pressurized water. I can bring 15 gallons though. I'm planning on mostly using 3M...

Clay lube or quick detailer on a microfiber towel, a little elbow grease, some clay bar use, and a quick polish and wax after. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Would Chemical Guys Barebones be a good option?

Any recommendations for dressing black painted steel bumpers/sliders? I've been using WD40 on my steel rock sliders and roof rack but am wondering if there is something more professional-grade.

I had to scrub A LOT and wash multiple times to get the mud off of a brand new tire. 1 week into owning them I helped get some people out of a ditch and I got super muddy while doing so. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I used Chemical Guys Orange Degreaser at 5:1 on an '02 Civic's engine that had never been washed and it came out great. I used a parts cleaning brush and a flag tipped brush as needed and avoided the air intake, alternator, and computer.

I've had luck with Chemical Guys Orange Degreaser and my Mothers Wheel and Tire Brush. Took a bit of elbow grease because my tires get pretty muddy.

I haven't started yet, I did find out that it's a '63, the owner doesn't know what type of paint though. Weather hasn't been great so I've been having fun on my weekends instead of detailing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Classic Techniques on Classic Cars? (and metal polish recommendations) I've been asked to detail a 70 something Chevelle, which I'm super excited about and honored to be trusted with. I just got asked, so I don't have many details yet about paint condition (based on what I know of the...

I usually use black or red for sealant and/or wax. For final polish/light correction I usually use white.

There shouldn't be any difference in any distilled water.

My main motivation for getting all of my own supplies was that I could do it all for the same price that someone would charge and I could do it multiple times and do other people's cars and get my money back.

I'm not really sure what to make of it, and there's no reason to think he randomly made it up for fun.

He ended up going to the dealer and getting the mirrors replaced and sending the product to turtle wax for evaluation. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

In a FB group that I'm on someone posted that they used turtle wax ice wash and wax and it melted their mirrors. What would cause this? I've never been a fan of turtle wax, but this is a bit extreme. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This isn't as it sits this second, it was about 30 mins ago.

Not on this one. The blower detaches from the collection can.

Plenty, but I'm assuming it's cheaper online.
