The straight line thing is to reduce swirls. You can see swirls from every angle because they are circular marks, so there is no hiding from them, some part will show up no matter what angle you stand at. A straight line scratch is much harder to see. If you "follow the line the air would take...

Are you at the point where you're turning down customers as you don't have enough time to do their cars? If I were you I'd want to be pretty busy before I made the jump. Also, I'd be telling your current customers that you'll be going "full time" in about 6 months (not sure how many you have...

I was thinking of trying no rinse wash, but how clean does the cars need to be for it to be "safe"? These cars get pretty dusty, they are parked outside in industrial type areas (ie, one is parked down a road with a lot of trees that has trucks driving by all the time)

I was thinking the powerlock for the durability, then something on top for the looks. Sounds like 2 coats of powerlock then a wax. So, best wax under $50? (epic argument begins hahaha)

Well, not completely lazy. I take care of a couple of daily drivers that only get washed every month or so. I'm wanting to do something (maybe every week) that is quick and easy to get rid of most of the dirt/grime (mainly dust) so that when I wash it properly they aren't so dirty. So, my...

I'm looking into getting a wax with my next purchase to put over a paint sealant (most likely menzerna powerlock). Is there any point putting collinite 845 over the top of powerlock, or should I be looking at a different wax, like signature series II or something. Don't want to spend "too"...

Yeah the half push of the button trick is always helpful ;) Thanks also for the comments guys :)

It's easy to capture the reflection, it's hard to capture the paint. Think of the surface of your paint as a mirror. If you take a photo of you standing in front of the mirror then you (the reflection) is in focus. This is what happens when taking photos of your paint, that is why so many people...

I assume you've seen this table Menzerna, Menzerna Polishing Compounds Products, Menzerna FMJ, menzerna polishes, menzerna car polish, menzerna nano polish, menzerna final polish, Also, here were my results with menzerna products, I found 2 steps worked, i went from PG1000 to SF4500, then...

All I've ever asked for was an honest weeks pay for an honest days work.

One comment on why you may want to go with quality over quantity is "word of mouth" advertising. It is the bet form of advertising known to man. The comments from your previous customers will either win or lose you future customers. Up to you how you treat them.

1. Get a very bright light (the sun works). 2. Aim the camera at the reflection of the bright light (maybe a little off to the side). 3. Now for the hard part, focus on the paint, not the reflection in the paint. Best thing for this is to put something on the paint that you can focus on first...

Maybe it was only the passenger side door and seat ;)

Thanks guys, that's kinda what I thought, the idea of polishing without claying seemed wrong... Vegas, I can't believe the colour of those pads!!! Also, I've heard of Iron X and am thinking of getting some, if only to make claying of a daily driver easier ;)

I was reading about AIOs on here, mainly to use on friends cars where I can't justify a weekend fixing the terrible things they've done to their paint :nomore: The main questions I have are: 1. do i need to clay before I use this? It's implied that it is a cleaner as well, but not sure what...

It kinda sounds like you want to make $800 a day detailing doing everything by yourself. Is this correct? If you do that 5 days a week that's $4000 a week. Do you currently make $4000 a week and need to replace that income with this new venture? Also, sounds like you're a hobbyist, like a lot...

I looked at this on my phone. The flat one was much clearer. The white around the name helps (I.e. the second 3D one). As a previous poster said, 3D can look tacky at times. Also consider where you want to put it and what size it will be. If it's going to be small I'd go 2D, but if it will be a...

Couple of suggestions. You could go with "wait until you see it on your car", and ten just make sure the car is perfect. OR Lie. Tell her you got a whole bunch of stuff with the order, unless she receives the package...

Hey Guys, I think this is a stupid question but i'll ask it anyway. I've got Menzerna SW-PROTECT (their sealing wax, not powerlock, I'm gonna buy powerlock!) and have applied it to my car. I've noticed it doesn't bead very well, but does sheet water fairly well. My question, can I top it with...
