I have an account with a used car dealer to do His vehicles for $140 per car. What is a good asking price to charge for Explorers and a H3 Hummer? What a out Minivans and larger SUVs? Thanks

Yeserday, I loded up the SUV with my winter tires and wheels in the rear the vehicle. While doing so,I hit the roof liner inside the vehicle and now have dirt there. What product should I use to remove it? Thanks in advance.

I've NEVER scratched the paint of any car using clay. Don't know if the clay was too cold being the temperature dropped into the lower 50s last night in the garage or was it due to being a Single Stage Paint. What can I do to remove the scratches caused by the clay bar on Single Stage Paint...

Today, I had the misfortune to work on a Single Stage Paint; in red. My foam pad and mircorfiber towels have quite a lot of red paint on them. I can only hope they come out in the wash. I tired to remove oxidation by hand first; wanted to be very careful. Nothing came out so I went to the...

Well, I got a message this evening asking if I detail motorcycles. My first reaction would be to tell him no but is it difficult to do? What products would I use? Waterless or Rinsless wash? Clean wheels with? Clean seat with? Anything else I should know? I don't know what type of bike he...

Didn't see this happening as we had plenty of rain; grass has been green for a while here in NJ but be that as it may, I would like a recommendation on a Rinseless wash product. I have used Meguiars Ultimate Wash & Wax for cars that aren't very dirty; usually just a little dust. In the event I...

So, I have an old Powermate 1100 I found after cleaning the basement and it's in real good shape. After all, just found it. Anyway, what is the PSI I need to use with this foam cannon? Would 1100 PSI be ok? Also, I don't know if any of the fittings that AG sells would work. I called the tech...

I was just referred to a big rent a car agency today; they left a voice mail. I hope I land this account as I'm hoping to get steady work. Anyway, before I contact them tomorrow, does anyone here do small, meduim or large accounts? Are they any potential downfalls to taking on a client like...

I've seen several posts on members mentioning they have Detailer's Insurance. Before doing just a search, I thought I would post on what companies you detailers use and what can I expect to pay; I guess that depends on what I want covered but I guess I can decide on that a little later. Any...

Well, today was sunny and I really wanted to get the car done so, not waiting was an option so I thought I would give Poorboy's products I purchased about several weeks ago. Being a little apprehensive, I figured since I did by it, I might as well try it. As mentioned before on these forums...

Just wanted to say hello and a really big thank you to all of you that have provided advice to not only me but to the others as well. I'm really glad I found this page, not only because of the advice given here but also it's nice to have a one stop shopping location as opposed to ordering this...

Besides word of mouth and taking out adds in the County Newspapers and dropping business cards to Body shops and other related auto shops, I ordered these license plate frames which I will use on my cars as well as a few customers of mine. The license plate frames are $8.95 each. A little high...

First let me say that the customer has no idea how he got these scratches but he did take it to a detailer who temporarily removed them. But after a week, they were back on the car. Not sure what process the detailer used. Here's a picture of the car. I felt the scratches and they are NOT...

I had a SUV in today that I detailed and all went well except the tires. I used a tire cleaner that isn't sold here; had it around and it worked for me but I always keep my cars clean. Anway, even after applying tire gel, I started to see the brown showing through the gel. What's a really good...

I don't know how everyone does it but after spending about six hours detailing the Buick Enclave, I have a new found respect for people that work outdoors all year. It was 90 today in Northern NJ and I must have lost about 10 pounds of water. I drank approximately 2 1/2 gallons of water and...

Greetings! I have a friend who knows that I'm detailing cars so they asked if there are any kits that can be used to repair a leather and/or Vinyl repair. I've had one rip in a vinyl area many years ago and just took it to this shop that specializes in this type of work. Any suggestions? As...

Well, I received my washes, polishes and waxes from Pinnacle and Wolfgang. Since I had an opening today, I figured I owe myself a small detail since my car was getting dirty and everyone else had a clean car to drive. So, I started with the Pinnacle Liquid Souveran Car Wax. No matter how much I...

I have purchased the Mytee Hot Water Extractor and it does a great job on the not so dirt mats and carpet. I saw a video where someone is using the PC with a pad to clean the mats and carpets prior to using on the extractor to really get that dirt out. I searched the AG site and found this pad...

I'm not sure why they're doing well in TV ratings but I guess it's just me that's not interested. Perhaps, they're really geared for females? Anyway, I was thinking why not have AG do a reality show? Several members of AG will serve as judges and each session, have a representative from each of...

Is it possible to inflict orange peel to your paint buy using a DA? I did several cars and have not seen any orange peel on their cars but yesterday, I was walking out of a 7-11 and I guess I caught a look at the car in such a way, I notioced Orange Peel which I've never seen before; although, I...
