Let that door close ever so softly. Open it back up once in a while to see where he's at on getting them done. Try to get him to have the worst one done in the meantime so he has something in which to gauge the quality of your offering with. Good luck!!

+1 on the CeriGlass. I have to deal with windows that are often worse than that. I used to compound with M-105 which can take a long time on the bad ones. I bought CeriGlass and kicked myself for not buying it sooner.

Welcome from the the Harrisburg/York area.

An OTC wheel cleaner like suggested above should clean them right up. Spray on, dwell for a few minutes, keep wet, agitate with brush, keep wet, rinse thoroughly then wash with your regular car wash mixture. Did I mention that you should keep the wheel wet with cleaner the entire time you work...

Razor blade is not a good idea. If it's coming off with your thumb nail then lacquer thinner will most likely wipe it away very easily with zero chance of scratching. If you get a slight haze from the thinner just follow it with a light polish. Using a razor blade is jumping to the most...

One of my first details. customer gave solid ten.

Two words....Test Spot. These SS white Toyotas are typically fairly easy to get a shine back on them but difficult to correct because of how hard the titanium dioxide pigment makes the paint. I'd use a foam light cutting pad and an all in one product like Evan suggested and call it a day. Be...

There are a lot of areas on bikes where a pressure washer can be a real liability, they can definitely be an asset in other areas as well. A lot of bike owners are aware of these dangerous areas where pressurized water can enter wheel bearings, (blowing past seals) ignition / electrical areas...

There would be a few questions for you like, Do you have any competition in your area that could / would underbid you on this work? Are you an exclusive detailer for this client already? Does he come to you through direct knowledge of the quality of work you bring to the table? Can you bring...

Depending on the year of the Vettes and the Caddy's you could be dealing with some really hard clear coat that could take lots of time to correct and finish. Given the cost of having a coating applied, which is all over the place in different markets, the surgical cleanliness necessary to...

I normally can't find finer than 2000 grit at some of the listed retailers. This could be different geographically though. If you can't find 3000 grit at those places, look for an auto body supply business in your area. They'll have it and finer I'm sure. Or of course you could order it from the...

Welcome to the forum Matt. Indeed a great introduction post. My brother lives in upstate New York in Watertown. I love going up there because the area is so beautiful and relaxed. He's tried getting me to move up there in the past and the offer is on my mind more than not. Again, welcome and I...

Hey Ron, it was really nice seeing you again. I'm very glad we ended up having dinner together at Twisted Tuna. I really enjoyed seeing and talking to Stephan and meeting his wife and finally meeting Pat and the others there. Hopefully next time I come down we can do it again. Nice cars too guys.

Finally got off the water at a place called GuanaBana's (spelling ?) I like terra firma. Pretty cool place. Adventurous afternoon/evening.

I'm in total vacation mode, leaning back letting someone else be the mechanic for once doesn't get any better than this.

one of the carburetors sucked up water in the boat up in Jupiter maybe get it fixed, maybe get rescued, definitely not making dinner this evening.

nice, out on the boat, probably won't make it for dinner. not too sure yet.

hey that's awesome, really glad to see you having success with these methods. lucky dog? yeah I suppose so. having a real nice time so far and detail fest hasn't even begun.

thanks for the recommendation Mike, hope to see you at the social tomorrow.

I'll figure out what they're doing and post back a little bit later.
