    Working on my first interior

    Nice turn around on the mats! They came out great, and I'm sure the customer was happy with them. How does the streamer do on the carpets vs the extractor? I been thinking about getting a steamer for the plastics, just haven't pulled the trigger yet.

    My first "commercial" detail

    Just realized I half answered your questions. Trying to reply on my phone with two screaming kids, lol. I have a Griots Garage 6 that I got earlier in the year. If things pick-up, then I will definitely look into a Flex or something with a little more power than the GG6. I have starting prices...

    My first "commercial" detail

    good idea on tracking time, I'll have to do that next time I have a another detail job. No poishing. The truck really didn't need it. My uncle doesn't wash his truck except for touch less washes, and that's few and far between. 10k and I think the truck Had only been washed a handful of times...

    My first "commercial" detail

    So, I've been detailing my own vehicles and family vehicles for the past 10 or so years, and I've really started to step up my game over the past 2 years. To supplement my income I’d decided to start detailing on the weekends. This was my first paid “client” (my uncle). The truck was more dusty...

    Detail on the side

    Thank you for the feedback GSKR! I am planning on updating my microfiber and applicator selection after my first detail. I have enough MF to get by now with the ones I've collected over time which are all still in good condition, but I will definitely want to get new ones. I may give the...

    Detail on the side

    My wife and I are building a new house and I've decided to start detailing on the side to supplement our income (and as an excuse to spend more time in the garage whet its finished :laughing:). I do have a full-time job as a software developer which I really enjoy, but I am going to start this...

    Anyone know things and stuff about routers

    To keep thing simple I would get a router modem combo. I think this will give you the least amount of headache. I would look for something that says wireless N. There are different speeds that correspond to different letters. Wireless N is probably the best for what you would be doing. If...

    Dedicatedperfection: Schwarz Metallic Land Rover Discovery Sport

    That looks amazing! What do use to apply perl on the tires? I use a foam applicator pad, but I have trouble with even coverage and getting into the ribs on the sidewalls.

    D115 smearing ?

    I don't have any experience with d115, but the video of the Jason rose using d115 shows him buff the product with a dry MF as he finishes a panel to eliminate any streaks while the product is still wet. Not sure if that is the issue, but it's something I would try. Overall, are you happy with...

    What size are the brown bottles? Those are pretty cool! I'm thinking about putting a small travel kit together to have in my car.

    Custom labels for spray bottles

    I have to say, I really like the logos on the label! Well done! I think I might cover my labels with clear tape next time I do the labels. Let us know how they hold up with the tape protecting the label.

    Need to fix the finish on my Lexus myself, Ready to purchase PC or GG and what pads?

    I just did my car with the gg6, LC thin pro pads and m105/M205 and it came out awesome. I'm probably going to try the griots garage boss polishes next time around, but I was happy with the results. I actually felt like I got better cut with the thin pro orange pad vs the megs fast cut microfiber...

    Does it really cost $500 to detail your own car?

    The other thing to keep in mind is this is an investment in the future. Most of these products/tools will last you months if not years. It may sound like a lot of money up front ( and don't get me wrong it definitely is), but you have these tools and products for future use for another detail...

    Custom labels for spray bottles

    Those came out awesome! I really like the spray bottles and triggers. Well done! I hear you with needing a table in the garage, I just need my own garage to get my stuff organized. I am hoping to apply black label paint coating this weekend. With any luck my wife will watch the kids Saturday.

    Custom labels for spray bottles

    Just sent a pm. You can't get them through autogeek. I wish they would start to carry them as I would get all my materials in one order.

    Confessions of a tire shine junkie

    Which do you prefer? PERL is almost double the price, but I have also been using it at various dilutions for different areas on my cars. Once I burn through my PERL (still have quite a bit left) I may pick up a gallon of HyperDressing. I love everything else form the Meg Detailer line so I am...

    Custom labels for spray bottles

    I think I may take the advice both of you are giving and apply clear packing tape over the labels in the future. This is the one bottle that does get used quite often when I am working with water. As you can see water got to the label and the color is starting to run. This is the only bottle...
