Is it a spray on product? That is the only thing that could compete. This cash wash produces FAST and SHINY. I just bought some Meg's D156. I hear great stuff about it....

Nextleveldetail- I get it, I do. I know its a temporary fake shine. I just want to explore options for customers that might not want to pay for a 8hr detail. If this allows me to give customer two options and informing them thoroughly: 1. I can remove your scratches, take time and money...

I drove by it today and looked closer on the assembly line. I did not see any Lava advertisement, placards, or foam being shot down. It could of been that the car was not at that stage in the process, but I would thing the Lava advertisement might stick out. To be clear, I see the cars come...

Hi, I drive by an "always packed" drive-through car wash. Personally, I would never use one for reasons obvious to everyone here (It is NOT touch free...) I am amazed though at how shiny their cars come out. I know it is an artificial shine, filling scratches, swirls (maybe even squirrels...

I do mobile headlight restorations primarily. I am just getting into detailing (because I do it on my car and enjoy it). Just did a older 2000 XJR this weekend and the customer thought it looked like new (Gotta love that). I did not get into it JUST to get detail customers, but I had thoughts...

:agree:This Think about it like this. You have Wholefoods, Walmart, a local grocery store. They all sell groceries, but in the beginning, each one leveraged themselves to be a certain place in the market. Not that one is better or worse that the other. Walmart obviously has to do volume...

Thanks Mantilgh! -I'm so glad they were happy. I tend to look at all the things I wanted to get into, but couldn't because of lack of time. I worked from 8am-4:30pm without a lunch or bathroom break. Not sustainable, I know. I did drink plenty of water and Gatorade. It was a great learning...

Well I did the detail and the customer was very happy! I spent the full 8 hours, by myself and had to hustle to stay on task. Audios S6's time table helped a lot! I though about taking pictures, but only did the leather before/after, I was really flying to try and stay on my time table...

Great! Thank you!

"I was pretty generous with time for both interior and exterior. Don't bother with the IPA after claying unless you are using an unorthodox clay lube." -I plan on using a Meguiars quick detailer as that's what came with this kit. Is that ok to polish over after wiping dry with a MF?

Great tips guys, I really CANNOT THANK YOU ENOUGH for your support. I will try my best to take pics (I need them...) of the before/after of really dirty areas, leather seats with a tapeline before/after, and the paint. One blessing/curse of doing a car as you all know and experience is the...

I literally just threw away the Lexol conditioner before I saw your response. It does have a STRONG, UNIQUE smell that I can assume most will not like. The cleaner they make is smell free, so I have a new bottle of that and I tested it on my couch. I'll use that to clean. I also bought the...

Hi Ducksfan. I don't have nano skin yet (It "seems" expensive but that's just because I have seen personally how much faster it is yet) And are you saying rinseless as opposed to waterless? I haven't read the BF instructions yet, but do you "rinse" a waterless wash, but not a "rinseless"? I...

WOW!!!! Audios S6, I cannot thank you enough for a crystal clear, and highly detailed response! To your question: How are you planning to clean the wheels and arches? They are factory silver painted wheel, multi spoke (7 spoke if I remember correctly). After the wash, Tires: Scrubbing the...

Hi. I am a novice here and a mobile headlight restorer (LLC). I just got into detailing because-1: I do my own car and 2: My customers are asking me for the service and I really like doing it. I have a 2002 Jaguar XJR that I am doing Friday. I am learning every day, and LOVE this forum. I...

JUST spitballing here and I am NOT experienced in detail yet... What about Johnson and Johnson no more tears baby shampoo? If it is safe enough for a baby's eyes....maybe a Lambo??? I'm just thinking out loud? There are probably a few solutions, but non of use have the liability so good luck...

Gentlemen, any of the before/after pics possible with a PC or do you NEED a 3401 type polisher to get THAT good results? I have a 7424 and a detail rotary (Flex PE8). I know I NEED a 3401, but have to wait to save up for one.

I have used a carnuba wax on top (Mothers...gasp) and just the HD speed itself. The Speed is amazing and beads up water just fine on its own. I couldn't tell a "deeper" look from the wax on top vs the HD Speed by itself. HD Speed is my only AIO product (Also my first AIO instead of the...

I have the PE-08 and it will (like all rotary's) leave holograms. It doesn't do it 100% of the time or anything, but depending on: -Compound I'm using -Me -Pad -How much compound -Moon's gravitational pull Etc. Great too for small spaces and POWERFUL. Even though I run speed 1 mostly, and no...

Thanks Haris300. I'm guessing by your signature pic that's your 300ZX? One of my favorite cars...
