Figured I'd reintroduce myself. I'm still doing cars, but I've really got into large fleet detailing. I've been away so long that I had over 21k new post since my last visit. What's crazy though is the forum is like a soap opera, you can come back after 2 years and start right back again...

Would anyone mind composing a list of polishes in two categories? One w/ polishes that are easy to remove and one w/ polishes that are difficult to remove. I've been having a tough time lately getting all the residue off the vehicle. Seems like I may even add some light marring trying to get...

REFLECTIONS MOBILE DETAILING The following details were completed over the last two weeks, but I haven’t been able to post them. Working till dark and then helping w/ my daughter has been getting the best of me. Toyota Sequoia: Process: - wash w/ ONR after rinsing and washing lower panels w/...

REFLECTIONS MOBILE DETAILING: Truck and Trailer Set-up I’ve had a few requests to take some pictures of my mobile detailing set-up, so I finally found some time today to clean everything up and snap some pictures. I started out detailing as a side job while teaching elementary school Health...

2006 Hummer and 2007 Silverado Here are a couple mini-details I’ve been meaning to post for a while, but just haven’t found the time. The Hummer usually gets washed by me at least once a week, but most of the time every Tuesday and Friday. Process: - washed w/ foam gun and Schmitt - dried...

I've got a few questions about polishing, so I figured I'd put them in one post. Menzerna users: Can I follow SIP w/ APO60 to remove any marring and give more gloss? I know 106 is recommended, but sometimes there are clients who don't want to spend 300 bucks. Or should I only polish w/ 106...

2005 Burgundy Corvette This Corvette was for the most part finished yesterday, but I asked the owner to put it in the garage for the night so I could come back in the morning and top the sealant I put on the night before. I did his F250 and his wife’s Lexus the day before. He claimed it...

This is another quick detail by Eric and Bradley. Once again we decided on a quick foam wash with DP Extreme Foam and a quick degreasing and cleaning of the wheels, tires, and wells. Products used on the exterior include orange citrus cleaner, MEG’S wheel brightener 4:1 and formula (21)...

2005 Roush Stage One Mustang This car belongs to the daughter of my client who owns the burnt orange Vette and the Arlean Ness motorcycle. She was down for the holidays, so I was lucky enough to give it a quick wash, clay, polish, and wax. Process: - Wash via foam gun...

At first glance, you would think this car had immaculate paint. The mirror image from the $15k paint job that had been wet sanded to perfection was just jaw dropping. Bradley with RMD landed this client through two other details he had done on the previous week. Eric from A2D came down to...

F150 King Ranch I got this detail from a referral from a customer I did 3 details for a few months ago. This is his old truck that he sold to the guy in October. I can’t believe he sold this truck to get what he’s currently driving. The 10 mpg probably helped make his decision. I...

Customized FLEX in Action!!! I was fortunate enough to be able to get my FLEX while there were still some in the U.S. However I did get it w/ the old red backing plate. It works very well w/ the LC CCS 6.5 pads, but I prefer something a little smaller while trying to correct. I’m still...

LOTUS Elise I finally got the chance to detail this ride. I’ve asked the lady numerous times, and she always tells me I like to clean my own car. However every time I see it it’s filthy. I ran a Holiday Detail Special ad in a local magazine and she broke down and call me. Process...

Hydrophobic? How does this look for sheeting?

REFLECTIONS CARRY-ALL BUCKET After using a traditional 5 gallon bucket for years of car washing and other household chores I came up with a simple but extremely effective idea. I actually had a dream about this bucket about a month before last year’s Detail Fest in Florida. I was dying to...

2007 Corvette convertible and 2008 Arlen Ness I detailed this one a few months ago, so some of you may remove them but, the owner called me Saturday for another quick detail. He doesn’t drive them very often, but it was his birthday on Sunday and he wanted them looking good for a drive...

FLEX CORRECTIONS If any of you are curious to what the FLEX can correct, here are a few pictures of a Corvette a worked on today. The lady asked if would clean her car and of course she opted out of a wax or detail. I’m so tired of all these cheap SOBs! Anyway back to the topic. I am very...

2003 Corvette One of my weekly wash customers who owns a used car dealership just got this Vette last week and wanted me to come detail it last Friday, but I told him to please let me wait until I got my FLEX. I also got some Menz SIP to give me the one to punch of SIP and 106. From...

KING RANCHED!!! On Tuesdays I normally do a lot of wash and vacs for a local construction company, but w/ the market sucking right now they had to cut back and I got cut. Oh well, I was able to pick up another Tuesday gig today. I know a lot of you only want to do full correction details...

The customer wanted a wash and wax for his 2006 F 150, but I went a little farther. Process: Degrease tires, wells, lower panels, and grill w/ purple power Meg wheel brite on rims Wash w/ citrus wash DG 501 w/ white pad DG 105 w/ blue...
