Scary enough I see this all the time in my home town, local "detailer" flaunts everywhere that he has 25 years experience at his job, yet thats pretty much exactly how they come out. Soon as I get some experience in doing it I'll be doing a big advert in the paper pointing out how cr@p that...

Hi Pete from Albany, Western Aus. It's a scary place this forum isn't it? So big & so much info. Wish the detailing industry was as popular down under as it is in the States. Convenient I found this thread actually, got a bunch of friends in/around Sydney asking for a detailer but I only know...

Funny how they steal the old guys bag....he has it in his hands when he goes up the front but then the girl with the camera picks it up & walks off when the old guy leaves.

Not my best but a great comparison for the customer, right side is after a wash, heavy oxidation & barely any shine, literally felt like sandpaper. Left side is after one pass of Double Deox (down in Australia, doubt you would have heard of it) with orange cutting pad. I was astounded at the...

Sad puppy face :( Please can I have it? I'll pay shipping to Australia lol.

Good read. Our old business owner insisted on using an aluminium brightener containing 1% HF & ~10% sulfuric acid for wheels, bullbars, sidesteps, aluminium trays etc...used it from an air gun so it was all atomised & carried everywhere with the wind. The couple of days I was there before we...

Hi guys & gals Wondering if anyone had any tips or tricks for vacuuming up sand...very fine white sand. I've been told a few methods - use a very stiff brush to agitate the carpet while vacuuming or use a weighted length (long screwdriver with heavy socket welded on the end in my case) to...

Meguiars Mirror Glaze #105 Ultra-Cut Compound 128 oz. Megs 105 for me. Please let me win :( I'll proudly hang it in my workshop in Australia.

I started doing it when I was younger, had a really nice car which I was trying to sell...drove 500km's to show someone who was absolutley keen as mustard, but refused to take it because of a few marks on it that could easily be removed. Even though I knocked $1k right then & there he wouldn't...

Good thread. I'm in a similar spot, bought a pre-existing business which didn't 'detail' as we know it. Went in there with high hopes of doing quality paint correction & restoration jobs....yet to do one, all have been general clean, polish & wax type jobs. We get alot of 4x4 drivers & work...

Couple of cars I've done: Heavy dirt/ciggarette soiling.... New 4x4 + fresh tar road....not good. Front door done, rear only washed. Rear bumper & tailgate End result + happy customer. My car...

Exterior of workshop: Rear doors open up to an underbody ramp...unsure if I want to keep. Only one in town who does under body cleaning but it takes up a lot of space.

Hi everyone, My names Andrew from Western Australia, pretty much right down the bottom. I had been a property manager since leaving schooling & after 4 years got fed up with the BS & quit. Now own a pre-exsisting car detailing workshop. Big Subaru fan, currently own a Forester GT (2002) with...
