    Detailing a boat on a lift??

    Most boats that I detail are on lifts here. Over the years I've used ladders clamped to lift railings to polish sides. I've also used my 9 ft aluminum ladder in the water and worked my self around boat. I've used a small skiff to do undersides when needed. I purchased a gheenoe for it's...

    The next level for my white car...

    I think you will need a more aggressive product such as menz fg400. I've had really good success on your paint with the 400 and a orange pad for the conditions you described.

    Stupid question

    Once the vehicle is stripped of everything then you will know where to start. Most likely being a new car it will need to be clayed and lightly polished and sealed. To get better results I would steer more towards the Menz./wolfgang line and put the cleaner wax back on the shelf.

With two seasonsed dealers trying to squeeze evety dollar they can out of you.Contracts are worthless unlless you have the funds to enforce and pursue them and most lawyers can undo them for whatever story they invent. These dealers probaly have...

    How does he do it???

    With a good system and plenty of endurance. Thinking 2/3 steps ahead so you are not doing steps/action twice. Being already set up saves alot of time and knowing where everything is helps too. Knowing what the customer wants and being able to overlook issues not being payed for. Also I think...

    Single-stage white paint question

    The ss super white (040) I'm referring to is my favorite color. We have a love hate relationship.When its polished and has a couple layers of sealant in full sun its blinding literally. However, there seems to be alot of confusion about what years, vehicles and colors are SS. I've read several...

    I'm very familiar with Manheim auctions. I did the whole auction thing for several years. It was always a rat race making sure cars were ready for auction and transport. We always shipped cars to Orlando and whatever didn't sell made their way to Bradenton by end of the week. We would only pay...

    Single-stage white paint question

    I'm kinda shocked thats all you have done to paint it looks perfect. The white I'm familiar with as being ss is super white. I have a 2010 and 2011 vehicle both ss super white I am constantly battling. Seems like darker ss paints show transfer paint more?? Only a guess.

    Did I hit a jackpot?

    Do you really wanna detail dealer auction cars?? I know all money spends the same but dealers are cheap period. I've had tried the shop thing twice and being mobil has so many more benefits. You can just figure $1500 a month in costs before you make a penny. If you do hire/partner up it's still...
