I was doing a polish at the local chrysler dealer a couple weeks ago when this charger rolled in. Apparently a young guy won it, but didn't want it so he sold it to the dealership. This thing is brand new with less than 100 kilometers on it. Anyway obviously what struck me is the flat black...

This isn't an important topic obviously and i'm not trying to start an argument here, this is just my point of view. Calling a detail customer a client has always made me scratch my head! We aren't lawyers, plastic surgeons, or real estate agents here, pure and simple we clean cars! I have been...

I bought my first flex 3401 a few years back when I owned a detail shop. Well it was running pretty much daily for a couple years until it had enough and died a horrible death! So for a year after that I was using a porter cable 7424xp which was ok but I really wanted another flex. Anyway I...

I have been using Menzerna for 4 years now and I love it. I've got a big job coming up so I figured I better stock up on my polish! Anyway I was completely out of 106FA, so I ordered a new bottle. (not from here, from a canadian store!) What I got was a black bottle that says super finish 4500...

Ok I've got a Flex 3401 that I've had for a year and use it almost daily. So pretty much it has lived a hard life! Anyway a couple days ago I was polishing an 09 ferarri, I noticed every once in a while small blobs of grease hitting the paint. I assumed it was maybe due to a truck getting...

I got a call today from a restoration shop and they want me to come look at a camaro they are working on. I haven't seen it yet but they said it has just been painted red and they have fully wet sanded the entire car. Their issue is the guy they had doing the polishing has quit. Anyway I have...

So a while back I asked a question on here about what the best wax would be for use in a detail shop. I recieved a lot of great suggestions, and decided to go with wolfgang deep gloss sealant, and collinite 845 for a wax. Had a customer come in on friday, he didn't want any polishing done cause...

Hi everyone! I need some help, I recently discovered that the products I've been using through my supplier for polishing/waxing are not what I want at all. The big problem I am having is the results do not last for very long at all, like less than a month, guess they are for high volume shops. I...

Hi everyone! I joined the site a week ago, and wanted to introduce myself! My name is Chris. I started detailing full time 8 years ago for a honda dealership but have had the vehicle care bug for most of my life. I can remember being 4 or 5 years old and trying to wash the dirt off the door of...
