Just thought i'd share as story.. i work for a dealership as an inventory manager, i had to go to the gas station to fill one of our cars. as i'm standing there, a beautiful women in a Maserati Levante approaches me asking if detail cars. long story short, i say yes, we exchange information. i...

Good day friends, its been quite a while. unfortunately life has gotten in the way of getting things done. you know how it is. question for my northern friends. i left some of my compounds and other products out in my unheated garage over the winter, oops. i live in Minnesota, so it got cold...

I'm looking to get a new/newer car? i've always wondered, are there facts to back up import vs. american made, ford vs. chevy, etc....... is one brand really better than the other.

I have been trying to find a thread where someone has used and compared coatings, specifically the new(er) PBMG brand coatings vs. ceramic pro, cquartz, etc. Has anyone done this? thanks guys! Happy detailing.

I need to get some feelings out....I live in Minnesota, and have tons of salt on the underside of my car. Since i have no way of getting 100% of if off the car, i need to go to a car wash with a under wash. wish me luck!!!

Logic would tell you to use coatings. As someone who has yet to use them yet, besides the difference in application, why do people not use them more? they seem to protect more, right? am I missing something?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems like the only way to make good money is by doing high end detailing, on what are mostly high end cars. Am I wrong?

It's not much, but i thought i'd share. Have my mom's Jeep Liberty, and had these scratch marks that a MF cutting, itself wasn't able to correct. Items used- 1. Meguiar's 3000 grit sanding paper with water 2. Flex 3401 3. Meguiar's Micofiber cutting pad. 4. Meguiar's 100 then... 5. LC...

Greetings from Minnesota, As I cannot be the only detailer who has to work at a dealership, I want to hear some stories, ideas, tips, and tricks from detailers who have to work at a dealership. Thanks!

Hi all, How many of you have had to work at a dealership? or are working at one currently? if so, maybe some of you can relate to my little story. Had a 2010 suburban come in for a complete detail, interior and exterior. as some of you know its all about quantity not quality. This car was...

I have used one for a few years, and I have never seen a problem. I've never marred the paint, or scratched the paint. I do have a CG drying towel which i use on some cars, but the I use the Absorber the majority of the time. I don't get the hate on it!

I want to starting working in my garage, but my lighting is horrible, besides the obvious of getting new lighting, what are some good, cheap work lights?! does anyone else have the problem? thanks!

Happy holiday's, Just want thoughts on my pad routine. I generally have a pad for every polish, wax, and compound. therefore I dont need to get my pads 100% clean when done. Is this bad as long as i dont cross contaminate? thanks!

I just moved to a new dealership, and upon finishing my first week i've come to the conclusion that the guys i'm working with are pretty amateurs. They use dirty wash brushes in dirty water, only have a blue pad and dirty wool pads for buffing, just little things. obviously they do enough to...

I had to use some solvent to take off some paint over spray, did I just remove the Klasse I applied a few days ago?

Good evening gentlemen, I was wondering how you deal with car's that have touch up paint on it. My mom has a black Lincoln mkx and it needs a good swirl removal and polish, but it has a few places with touch up paint. Do I need to be carefully of the spots.

what are your experience with them? good? bad? ugly? thanks!

Hello all, I was wondering if anyone has had to deal with a job with a deadline? I was working on a car yesterday, and knew I had a deadline. I have to say, that this customer wasn't picky, so I really had nothing to worry about. I was just wondering if anyone has had this happen. what do you...
