2-3 Passes with a polishing pad and an AIO. Takes me around an hour then I seal with Opti-Seal because it's polymers penetrate existing protection to bond to the paint. I don't look for correction percentage or thoroughly inspect every panel. The light hazing and oxidation is removed from the...

Interesting take. Any specific examples from your detailing business and experience that stand out to you? I don't think there is any one area that is more important than the other, they all needs to be balanced to what you want out of your detailing business. Do you want a job or do you want a...

I strive to make a certain dollar figure per hour and price every detail differently. Paint correction price is determined by % correction results and the time it takes to produce those results. 4 Honda Civic - $300-350 for the service you've listed assuming it gets detailed annually.

Optimum No Rinse the tires and apply another coat of tire dressing over the original. If you're using a high quality, water based dressing it used be lasting 2-6 weeks depending on milage and conditions. I'll do a full wheel wash every 1-3 months depending.

Quickbooks. I also like using the stop watch to time myself as I work. It's also nice to have to show customers your website/services/etc.

I haven't but I would use it following the same logic behind using m105 or any other clear-coat safe compound. How do you like M101? What machine and pad type do you typically use with it?

Great job. Makes such a huge difference on newer vehicles to keep the plastic clean and detailed.

New one's were coming along with a new bumper but it didn't line up with his work schedule for me to complete the detail after the bumper install. This. :xyxthumbs: Glass is really hard, M105 does great at mechanically cleaning the window. I don't really try to remove any scratches as I just...

Great work and photos.

Sure thing!

I just bought the same truck for a similar purpose, but I'm going to use it without a trailer. 60-70 gallon water tank. (2) 2000EU Honda Generators With the seats up in the back I can fit 12, 66 gallon containers, meaning I know exactly what will fit in the truck before I even load it, and...

Thanks! :xyxthumbs: I'm close to the School Complex.

ONR with a little bit of hyper wash mixed in. Just a drop or two. I've noticed the pad works faster (takes 2-3 less passes to remove the same amount of contamination, at least this type of paint overspray). Still nothing beats a clay bar for it's ability to conform to surfaces and fit in...

This. :xyxthumbs:

Around $160 shipped.

I just bought one of these kneeling creepers. I should have it in the next week or so. I'll let you know how it goes.

Meguiars M105 is a great compound that will need a finish polish after. I believe it uses SMAT (super micro abrasive technology). There are DAT (Diminishing abrasive products) that cut like a compound and finish like a finishing polish. An example would be uber compound or menz fg400. What...

There is no right or wrong answer. I typically stop using a pad once its too saturated with product. It might be one panel or it might be half the car it just depends on the condition, the products I'm using and how many passes. Once you see a decreased performance switch to a new pad...

Have you ever tested anything on just one panel to see if just one product will clean your vehicle? If it scratches the surface, then add something to make it more lubricated and so fourth. Play around with things until you get the right combo down for the average amount of "dirt" you would...
