A client of mine bought his wife a used MB SLK. The dealership "detailed" the car. They drove it over to me through a rain storm and I set to work fixing the dealership's swirls and holograms. After a foam gun dwell, a proper two bucket wash and claying, I used my Flex and Wolfgang TSR 3.0...

At the end of October I did a winter prep on all of my personal cars along with some clients vehicles. I did the same process on all of them. Considering that I live in PA and our winters can be tough on vehicle finishes I went about the task of using products that are known for their...

Detailed a 2005 VW Passat (Northern Green) today. The paint was the hardest paint I have ever encountered. I lent out my DeWalt DWP848X rotary to a friend on Monday and really wish I had it today. 12 hours with M105 and M205 with my Flex XC3401 foamed wool and orange & white pads. I was so...

First, sorry for the long-winded post..... I am in the process of putting together a product list for winter prep/detail on higher-end vehicles (ex. BMW, Benz, Audi). I would like to get a deeper gloss on the darker cars from what I have in the past. I plan on doing an AIO after wash and...

I have a question: For those of you that detail full or part-time, do you have your clients complete any type of pre-detail questionnaire? I believe that this can be a valuable tool to familiarize yourself with the vehicle, meet your clients' desires and to help educate your clients. It can...

Hello, I just became a member of this forum this past week after lurking for some time. I took deliver of my new car this past week also and began looking for detailing advice. I ordered a bunch of products from Autogeek because of the awesome sales event. I have a nice selection of Pinnacle...
