    Detailing INSURANCE

    No prob, I go through Columbia. My rates just went way up for no reason, so I'm shopping around. I do occasionally drive client's cars. Especially clients who I've developed a good relationship with. Recently drove a shelby GT cammed, lowered gears, headers, exhaust. It was crazy...at least I...

    What is this and why is it happening?

    Tato, made excellent points about how to correct the issue. I can't really expound on it any further.

    What is this and why is it happening?

    It's marring. I like to call them DA holograms. Instead of long, thin rotary holograms, they tend to be vertical and only a few inches long. Most likely a soft paint and the finishing step is not correcting the compounding step. I had this problem when I first started working with mf pads...

    Detailing INSURANCE

    Insurance is super important. When choosing a plan, read the fine print. There are lots of "million" dollar policies that actually don't cover much. Look specifically at how much of that million applies to damage to the vehicle. Also look at what type of damage it covers. Garage keeper's...

    I am new to detailing

    Welcome. Acronyms are just part of it imo. Annoying at first but quicker and easier in the long run. i usually just use the most common ones, but will spell out less common products or new products.

    specific questions about starting a side car cleaning company.

    Stay away from groupon. It has the capability of putting you out of business. If you are insane enough to run a groupon deal, set the maximum details that you sell, very low. Sell too many and you'll never catch up. You'll have to hire somebody and the expense of that WILL WILL WILL put you...

    specific questions about starting a side car cleaning company.

    Starting a business and spending time with your family don't mix very well. Also, your main obstacles are not equipment or how to's. . . It's figuring out how to run a business. Get your $h!@ straight dude. Figure out how you will do your accounting. You need to decide if you are going to be...

    Full Detail in one day? Is it possible

    Pro/full time. Most of my jobs are AIO's and single steps, but I do quite a few multi stage paint corrections a month. I have very demanding clients as I charge a premium price. I manage my time wisely. There are lots of guys that would agree with my view on the necessary time for paint...

    Opti-coat/Opti-coat 2.0/BFWD

    You can't go wrong with Opti-Coat Pro. I think you should definitely go with a coating for a car that is driven that hard. Being a brand-new car (without defects hopefully), see if you can talk the guy down a little for the pro application. I think there may be some wiggle room there...but...

    Full Detail in one day? Is it possible

    I do "full" interior/exterior work including an AIO polish all the time. . . no problem. That said. . . The following correction took 15 hours. I polished EVERY SQUARE INCH of the paint. NO interior. A good solid, average paint correction takes me 8-20 hours. Some cars are more complex, some...

    Full Detail in one day? Is it possible

    Pureshine is plenty experienced. It's possible to do a production paint correction and interior in one day, working yourself to the bone with only very short breaks. . .and all you will get for it is mediocre work. If the interior has special issues like pet hair, red stains, etc or the wheels...

    Removing Polish From Scratch Sensitive Black Paint

    Hey Scott, I've switched from 151 to d301 for my go to AIO. Yeah, 151 has a slight cutting edge over 301, but it can be a pain to remove, which ultimately causes marring. 301 will remove light swirls, light bug etching, etc and it's insanely easy to remove. It also smells so good you will want...
