Hello, I've decided to restart my detailing business this season after a 4 year hiatus. I have since created a Facebook page and redid my menu. I am looking for feedback on my services as well as any other tips for my Facebook page. You can find it by searching for Tull's Auto Detailing. Any...

I have a quick question regarding backing plates. I currently have a GG DA. I'm going to try and use 5.5 inch pads. I may be able to get a 5 inch plate locally and save on shipping. I don't know the details yet but are all backing plates the same? Or can they interchange from one DA to another...

I finished polishing. I think I was mistaken about the metallic. Paint transfer appeared black on the pad. When I took it outside in the sun it was a dark green. But for whatever reason it was still nearly impossible to restore the paint. It looks a tad better than before but not what I was...

The car I'm working on has a little more gloss the pics above. But still faded nonetheless. Amazing that even a rotary wouldn't cut through and bring back the gloss. Next time I do a SS car I need to make sure it isn't metallic paint. I would have never guess an Opel would be metallic. I...

I have some ultimate polish. I'll use that with a polishing pad like you mentioned then finish off with wax. I would like to see at least some improvement. Thanks so much!

I only have meguiars products. The paint is a dark green. However the pad surface looks almost black. Would this its a metallic paint?

I only have a da polisher and various pads and compounds.

I need some help with a car I'm currently detailing. Its a 1969 Opel GT. All original including paint. I wiped #7 on it last night and let sit. I just wiped it off and started polishing. I started with a white polishing pad and M80. Zero change in the paint condition. Then tried M83. Still...

I have a price set. On a different note. After number 7 is wiped off what is the least aggressive polish to use? I was thinking M80 but maybe something even less aggressive. Where does scratch x and swirl x fall in relation to M80?

I try and base my other services around $20 and hour. That's why I was think around $30. Maybe $25 would be more reasonable.

If your referring to pics I do not have any. I was thinking charging a rate between $30-40 an hour. Seems reasonable to me considering the labor.

I may be detailing a late 60's Opel gt. car is very clean and very original including the single stage paint. It's a dark green color and is very faded and oxidized. I am very interested in trying Mike Phillips method using number 7. I just don't know how to charge for something like this. I was...

I see that auto geek sells some plastic spray cleaner. Detailers Plex All for example claims to reduce glare. Anyone have experience with this product? Detailer's Plex-All™ Cleaner & Polish for All Clear Plastics 19 oz - Case of 12

I have an issue with my car and the gauge cluster. On the gauges there were some nasty smear marks. Glass cleaner would not remove them at all. Looks like an interior cleaner splashed on the lenses causing smears. I tried plastic x and that seemed to help after a couple applications. But now the...

Sounds good, I can just add starting at $90.00. I do have listed any seriously neglected interiors will incur additional charges. But most people would probably look at the price before they see that. thanks

Fixed the spacing, thanks I would say I am obsessed with cars. But I tend to lean a little more towards classic cars. Not sure if there is a market though. I have two myself and enjoy detailing the old iron. Around where I live there seem to be a lot of small judged shows. During the warm...

I finally have a website! I'm very happy with it. Thought I would post here to get some opinions. Not just the website but my menu as well. I have put a lot of time and effort into designing my menu. So far I am happy with it. I need to post more pictures but those will come in time. So right...

I did a test spot of just m105 and a polishing pad first. This was being done with a DA. I wasn't quite satisfied so I stepped up to a maroon cutting pad. There were still some very light pitting I wanted to remove so I tried wet sanding a spot. I used 2500 then went over with the cutting pad...

I should have mention, the car was repainted long before I bought it. It's bc/cc, not single stage. The flat surfaces seemed to be the most faded. I used a Meguairs maroon cutting pad with 105. Next I used a white LC polishing pad with 205. I clayed beforehand then tried some wet sanding. Mostly...

Looks fantastic!
