Thanks a lot for the response!! I'm always very humbled by you fine folks of this forum.

Yes, I know I was wrong. I didn't mean to get anybody aggravated with me and my lapse in judgement here. I just thought I'd share a story and get it all off my chest. I didn't take advantage of the situation on purpose, I just kind of got carried away on it. That's why I pulled the car outside...

What about applying wax by hand only, with no applicator? I seen the video on Dodo's website demonstrating waxing with your bare hand... Intriguing to me T

Oo, I really want one! I could've had one by now from my detailing profits if my wife understood that my business finances are separate from our personal finances. Right now we owe my business around $400. I keep very accurate accounting records. She's a go on some things occasionally, like she...

Box 5!!! Im the MAN

I see. I'd say my application is uneven. Obviously I do it in long strides, like Mike P says, instead of circles. Do you think it's the pressure I'm applying on the pad, the amount of product I have on the pad, or something else? With the cleaner wax, I usually put some pressure on the pad when...

Yeah, $10/hr. They don't do customer cars, just cars on the lot, cars sold, dealer trades, etc. Normally it's my dad, and he has 47+ years detailing, but right now it's the guy our owner calls Moose, and is one of the dumbest people I've ever met. He asked me in his first week- "They didn't tell...

Yesterday I waxed a black Lexus SC hartop convertible. What a sharp little car! I clayed the whole thing, then used Meguiar's Gold Class Carnauba Plus Paste wax by hand. After I let the wax dry and rubbed it off with a MF towel, I noticed these long, thick stripes on the paint, mostly on the...

-The following story is an account of my workday yesterday, and may end up being a waste of your time, or possibly an interesting read. You have been warned.. I work as a Service Writer at a small GM dealership. I really don't have much to do throughout the day, since we have only about 8-10...

Our owner calls him "Moose" or "Mongo". They don't take wash or detail customers here (thank goodness) it's just the lot vehicles and sold cars. Moose is about to get fired, since my father will soon be back from his surgery. He's detailed for 47 years, but I'd say he puts swirls in too. He just...

:mad:Well, CarBrite just came by and informed me I can no longer get their Tire Sheen because Indiana has gone to VOC-compliant only on detailing products. They sold me this Purple Dressing II instead. Shame, because I really liked the Sheen. Also got this awesome mango scent, some more Cherry...

I just wanted to post a little tidbit that may help someone else out. I live in a small and fairly rural area. About two weeks ago I emailed someone at my local area newspaper about starting up my detailing for the area, and my services that I offer. Yesterday in the Sunday edition, she...

Awesome! Was considering getting some Natty's Red this weekend and you just sealed the deal. Even at 7.99 shipping it's not a bad price for the wax, but gosh the shipping is half the cost of the product! Oh well. Many more to come after that. I just wish I had it already for the car I'm doing...

:iagree::iagree: Amen to that!

I just got the Meguiar's ScratchX in a kit I ordered. I used the ScratchX on my car and got some serious scratches out of the paint. I was pretty impressed with it. I don't have a DA and I'm wondering if this ScratchX would be worthy of using as a polish to apply by hand before waxing? I'm doing...

Is there some sort of clear coat touch-up, where I could put some touch-up paint on first, then a coat of something clear? Or would that be totally unnecessary? I just want it to look smooth and natural. It was a loaner car at the dealership I work at, and they sold it to me pretty cheap...

Ok, it got kinda late on me, and it's also dreary and rainy, but here are two samples of this issue on my hood.

Hello! Yeah, when I get home tonight I'll take some from my wife's cell phone and put 'em up on here. I forgot to say that.. I don't have a way to until I'm off work tonight which should be in about 2 1/2 hours, if anybody wants to countdown!

My car may not be the nicest, prettiest, or greatest car ever, but it's still my car. It's a 99 Lumina with a Pewter Metallic paint. On the hood it looks like there are actual little tears (like rip-tears, not crying tears) in the clearcoat, and the paint chipped under that. Is that actually...
