    One thing missed that could ruin a day long detail job?

    It depends. First thing is the exterior cleansing ........ I usually like to get the interior finished up first after the wash.

    One thing missed that could ruin a day long detail job?

    Absolutely agree. I also have a friend of mine that will give me a hand 1 or 2 days per week. I keep it very basic as far as what I need from him and I haven't had any problems as a result. Besides, he wants to learn so I take that as a decent indicator as to his capabilities.

    Water reclaim system for mobile detail?

    Water reclaim system for mobile detail?

    I can't imagine Wisconsin would ever have water restrictions where you would need a reclamation mat. Besides, being Eco Friendly doesn't always allow for optimal cleaning/detailing under all conditions.

    A little help

When you consider the work you're doing; it's best to use a single MF towel for each process to lessen chances of any product transfer where you...

    I realize I typically don't post my work here, however I thought this car was deserving of some fanfare for its individuality of being the only model in this particular color within the state. This BMW received my New Vehicle Protection service along with a Clay Bar Treatment. 1100 miles on the...
