    Thoughts on Sanding...

    I think wetsanding is an essential skill to have when detailing as a professional. Without it, many cars cannot be brought to their full potential.

    limo company

    Wow you guys have bad experiences with limo companies. On the other hand, I have had a limo company owner as a loyal customer for 3 years and he is one of the best customers I have ever had. He is very demanding with his business and has the mentality that if he has the best looking and cleanest...

    Nanotechnology - Safety Concerns?

    I'd be worried if the nano particles were not in a colloidal suspension and were smaller than 40nm. Because the product is in a suspension, it is not going to be readily inhaled and i'd assume with very high certainty that the particles are larger than 40 nm which is the average tolerance for...

    New Truck, New Paint - what to do??

    Rhino is a thicker, rubbery, and tough lining. Line-X is thinner and as less cushioning effect but looks smoother. Both are tough and great liners it just depends what you want from it. If you want some cushion, a little better sound dampening but a little bit of a clumpy look then Rhino would...

    Describe your first driving experience.

    My dad and I went for a ride in his old 89 honda civic 5 speed. I got to drive around the block and got back home safe. Left the car in 1st gear and popped the clutch before shutting down the car and took out the garage door with the bumper. Had to pay my dad for a garage door, bumper paint and...

    Nanotechnology - Safety Concerns?

    It all depends on the chemical compounds being used. Many polymers and nano materials are absolutely harmless, many solvents are harmless, and many can be harmful. There are very few products available to consumers that aren't at least marginally safe for use. Just follow the precautions by the...

    If you've never heard of Paul Dalton

    I'm with Flash, who is this guy? That car looks great for one of his first polish jobs, too bad he left a few swirl marks on the back left wheel.

    black infinity

    If it is self-healing, a trick I learned to make the work easier and take advantage of the self-healing is to wax-strip, wash and clay the car in the shade then put the car in the sun for the afternoon. Then later pull it in the garage and do any polishing work that needs to be done after the...

    Why do you detail?

    I detail my own car because I am embarrassed to drive a dirty car unless I'm on the way back from the mudhole. If my paint is not perfect, I feel like other people are looking at my car and myself saying "that guy has swirl marks all over his car." If my tires are showing brown it feels like...

    Wtf

    Don't try to compete with them. You have a different type of business. Mobile detailing is about convenience and a premium service for your customer. If you look at their "detailing" it is composed of an interior cleaning, wash, and AIO with dressing everything. They start at $200 and if you...

    Wtf

    You are undercharging by a long shot. You are in Naples and have potential to set up a pretty well paying clientele. I come down to Naples about once a month to do a few customers' vehicles in Port Royal and Bay Colony. They have nice cars, expect great work, and pay well for a quality job. If...

    Rim issues on Jeep Cherookee SRT and BMW 135

    You are correct about the bleach not being acid; it has a pH in the 12-13 range making it alkaline. On the otherhand pine sol has a published pH of 3-4; so pine sol is acidic. :props:
