I finally picked up a bottle as I needed a product for 2 jobs and I didn’t have time to order other AIOs. Has anyone experienced pad staining after using this product? Their One Step Sealant never had that issue. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Several Tesla models I’ve run across have matte trim (door handles, window trim, mirror holders, wheels, etc) while the paint is multi stage. If you coat the matte trim, will the coating resist spray on ceramic products like 303 Touchless, etc? Looking for a fast way to brighten the paint...

Today I did an all in one on a Honda van. While detailing it the client was smoking meat for dinner and an upcoming trip. Long story short, he gave me two smoked pork loins which are incredibly flavorful and tender. Anyone too that?

I had a prospective client contact me to detail (to be determined as to what they expect) a small fiberglass camper. Is there anything I need to consider when detailing a camper, fiberglass, etc? Best products to use? Pic of the camper below. Thanks for any tips and advice. Sent from my...

This is my brother in law’s car. It’s never garaged but sits out in NYC weather. My questions are about the paint on the front hood and roof top. The trunk looks fine (manageable). I can’t tell if the clear is gone, some detailer damaged it (he told me he took it to a place he thought was...

I have an upcoming detail and took pics of the vehicle as the owner babies her car. The pic I’m sharing is the metal border around the convertible top (sides and around to the back) and above the grey painted body areas. It appears chalky and wondering what’s the best approach and products for...

While getting my headlight replaced at a local shop, I looked into the shop bays. Check out this ‘71 Chevy.

As I was cleaning out my shop vac, I came across a piece of jewelry, several kids small toys, women's hair pins and ties, tons of coins, straws, and the usual (hair, dirt, Cheerios, etc). Made me wonder what's the oddest things detailers have found? If a duplicate post (I searched and didn't see...

I was was excited to have the opportunity to detail this vehicle for a client. This 2016 BMW i8 has two tone paint (grey and black) with frozen blue accents. Upon arrival, I took pics of the condition (just provided 3 pics of the before condition which are the first three pics shown). The 4th...

Good afternoon. I received a call from a gentleman who is entering his 2016 BMW i8 into a local show and he wants me to detail it. There's not a lot on the forum about this car. What I know so far is he's hinted at staying away from machine polishing but that's not a certainty. Also, the car has...

My brother in law lives in Bayside and is in need of detail work. Any detailers out there in that area?

Folks, The attached photo shows an area where the owner backed into a post and scratched her car. She asked me if I could handle it and I told her I thought I could do so but wanted to research it a bit and get back with her. I'm pretty meticulous and methodical, however I've not done touch up...

Last week after detailing 5 vehicles in 3 days (in the sun), I developed the most excruciating thigh cramp on the third day. Each day when I returned home I would weigh myself before showering and would lose 5-6 lbs. I thought I was properly hydrating as I had water, soda and watermelon. I read...

I detailed a couple's car recently and they loved the result. They then asked me to quote prices to detail 2 trucks. One is a 2004 Tacoma which I'm pretty sure is clear coat but the 1988 Silverado I'm unsure about it's paint. The Silverado is the husband's joy. Internet searches get me to a...

Mike, All, My brother in law owns this car in NY. He says it was covered in pollen so he took it to a detail shop. The result is in the pics. I've not personally seen the car and I know there can be many factors. I know it's a long shot but what could this be? My thought was beginning clear coat...
