Hey everyone, I just wanted to see how everyone has been doing? I have been MIA for a while. A month ago I started working full time at the family business so I put detailing on the back burner. I havent detailed a car since I started and its a weird feeling after doing it almost every day...

This client was a referral from another client of mine. The client wanted the exterior brought back to life and made as perfect as possible. The paint wasn’t in horrible condition but it needed a little TLC to make the paint sparkle. Products: Megs G110 MF cutting disc w/ d300 M205 w/...

Edging the DA... A Game Changer Before I get going I want to thank Kevin Brown for taking the time to work with me via phone and sending me backing plates to try out. He is a real class act and one of the most genuinely nice guys in this industry. He was always willing to help and take my...

Ok so here is the background to my question. In my garage I have several outlets but sometimes I can feel my polisher not working at its optimal level. It is like for a period of time it is not getting enough power so it is weak and then it will get a surge of power and run at normal speed. I...

Ok so I have another Marauder here. Mike (the client) was referred to me by Steve the owner of the Black Marauder I did last week. This Marauder was red with some minor swirling and just normal wear and tear of life. Upon inspection the top surfaces were in much rougher shape than the sides...

I was contacted by the owner of the Marauder a few months back asking about getting some correction done. He brought the car over to get an estimate and so I could take a look at what I was going to be working with. After a little bit we worked out our schedules and got the car in for the...

These are pics from just a few hrs ago. I woke up and had my coffee like I always do and my parets get home from breakfast and my Dad gets a call saying he needs to come to the office because a few of our cars had been torched. My dad and I show up to see 5 cars crispy and 3 others with...

I got a call from a client asking to have his car Opti-Coated. He actually had purchased 2.0. It was nice to work with someone who had some knowledge of some current products. Chris (the client) was a great guy! He was really nice and I really enjoyed working with him. This car didnt...

I was detailing a car today and though this thread would be a good idea. When I detail I have alot of time to myself and try to pray while I work. I will start the request off. I just graduated college not too long ago and I dont really know what I am going to do as far as work and the...

This very sweet BMW 550i belongs to my Uncle. He is leasing the vehicle through my families leasing company and since he lives about 2 hours away from Louisville I saw the vehicle before he did. I told him about the new Opti-Coat and how he wouldnt have to wax his car for the whole lease term...

Ok so recently I have run into a few cupholders that had some sticky gunk at the bottom and my interior brush just wasnt cleaning it fast enough. I needed something stiffer like a tooth brush but due to the angle it just didnt fit. This is where I came up with this idea. I got the toothbrushes...

Ok so I got the new MF system in but only the D300. I will be getting in the D301 soon but only had the compound at first. I was curious to see how it would work as a one step polish. I used a GG DA on speed 4.5-5 Compressed air after each section Before: AFTER...

My question is when everyone prices out corrections, if you charge per hour how do you handle charging for all the prep (wash, clay, tape)? For example lets say someone asks for a two step but you have to wash and clay the vehicle first do you charge your rate for washing and claying and then...

Yesterday I got my Gtechniq G1 glass coating from the Fed Ex guy. After reading about this I knew I wanted to try it out so I placed an order. This stuff is supposed to last up to 3 years or 30,000 miles. My windshield had a lot of wiper marks and scratches which made it hard to see at night...

I was doing a clean up on an M3 for a guy who dabbles in used car sales and is looking for a new detailer. He had me do this car and all I did was vac and wipe down the interior and wash it. The drivers seat leather was pretty bad so I though it would be a good chance to take some 50/50 pics...

I get quite a few cars in where there is some sort of smoke smell that needs to be removed permanently due to trying to sell the vehicle. Since smoke can be a real deal killer I have seen these ozone generators and read that they work. Does anyone have first hand experience with one? Any...

I just got my order of UIGP, UPGP, and UTTG. I had traded samples with Mark to try some UTTG and was absolutely amazed by it. I started reading more about the rest of their products and decided to pick all three up. I used the UPGP yesterday and wow does a WOWA sealant make the protection...

This is my friends Accord that I have been helping him work on for a while now. I have been teaching him how to use a polisher. I started him out on the Megs DA v1. He was getting the hang of it but needed some work. After several times practicing and working with him he began to get the...

Ok so I know everyone says 70/30 blend is the best and I agree. All the good towels I have and have used that are 70/30 blend are great. I have cheap Sams 80/20 for interiors as well. My question is if a towel is a 75/25 blend will we(Autogeekers) really be able to tell or see a difference...
