    What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    i'm not considering a career change, and in fact was reluctant to take this job on so soon after I got the last one done, but you make hay when the sun shines, and the sun was shining :D...my goal is just a job a month to start i'll tell you this though, If my currently opportunity went away...

    What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    I closed my 2nd detailing job today. Being dropped off tomorrow. It's a 2021 HD Trike. My jam. It's been a while since I've had to sell my services, nearly 25 years in fact when I painted professionally. First thing I did was anchor him. What do you know about detailing and how much were...

    i busted my tail and gave him way more than he paid for I gave it a final bath as it was getting dark, and would have put at least coat of wax on it but no time the agreement was, a bath, and some clear coat correction on sides and front only Steps Washed in with Reset by Carpro Iron by...

    What speed on the DA do you guys use with a clay pad?

    I'm here to learn, guys I really enjoy clay barring a vehicle with a wad of clay and some lube, it appears to be a really effective method....i use plenty of lube, check the clay and pick out particulates frequently, and I twist and mead the bar regularly to make sure I have a nice clean...

    A small deal that is a pretty big deal to me.

    We looked at it together last night. I talked to him about perfect and better. I ran my hand down a scratch and then caught the edge of the scratch gently with my fingernail and I told hm "When I'm done, scratches like this will be here. You have damaged your clear coat in places so severely...

    A small deal that is a pretty big deal to me.

    A fella is dropping his truck off on Saturday when he goes out of town. It's a small job that I got by word of mouth. He took his truck through some brush, and just wants some spots on the side panels and front end corrected. The deal is to wash the truck and correct the clear coat in some...

    Never know when a bike magazine is going to get a shot of you on your bike :)

    It wasn't perfect, because i'd spent some time on the road to the event. It had gotten some attention before I left from Detroit. It got a thorough cleaning with McKee's N-914 and then a reapplication of PA's High Gloss. There's a little bit of evidence of 5 hrs on the road from MI to...

    Time to retire my edgeless towels?

    i have two big storage bins, one are mf cloths i would use on paint, the other bin are ones that are dirty but when I wash them properly, I will use on paint again the rest are rags, and many new MF's get used once and become rags, if I use a MF to clean road grime, brake dust, and dirt out of...

    Swirl remover

    he's the reason I'm using it, indirectly a fellow forum member on another site had some issues with a cloudy result when trying to polish his Vivid Black Harley Davidson....Mike turned him onto Wolfgang and the results were fantastic, he shared the story, and I decided if it worked for him, i'd...

    Swirl remover

    Wolfgang's abrasive technology is very user friendly, I'll try some others eventually, but when I find a product I like and dial in on how to use it, I am usually pretty loyal I use their Uber Compound as a hard hitter for spot correction, it comes out of the gates pretty hard, but the...

    Feedback on a great suggestion - McKee's N-914

    I recently coated the bike with Polish Angel Cosmic V2 Glass Coat, and then topped with PA's High Gloss. It's been ridden and has been filthy and cleaned a few times already. ECH2O is my go to regular wash. When I'm done, I dilute it a bit more and it makes a great detailer for the final...

    Time to retire my edgeless towels?

    in another life, i painted and I was pretty picky about what I left behind....lint off rollers are a thing, and they can leave boogers in your newly painted wall before a new roller cover went into paint, I wrapped it in tape, then pulled it off, pulling everything that is loose with it, maybe...

    Polish before coating?

    when i got the detailing bug a few years back, i felt like it was like that children's book "If you give a mouse a cookie.... If you want a brilliant shine, you need a good LSP, but if you put an LSP on it, you should prep the surface, before you prep, you may want to correct and polish, but...
