So most of my details have been taking too long because of my wheel regime. I'm spending close to an hour with setting up and starting on wheels, rims & wheel wells first. I've been using Meg's super degreaser and it works great but it takes me two maybe three passes to get them where I feel...

Got my new WW towel and used it once to dry a car. Haven't washed or dried it yet and it's got this going on. Is this normal for a brand new WW?

This is my third week in business and so far I've done 5 cars. No paint correction yet but hopefully soon. Mostly washes and sealants applied with interior details and some quick vacuums. Today a guy called me about his 2015 BMW i3. Says he's doing a photo shoot on Friday and wants it to shine...

Who's got some tips for me? I've watched several videos but if you've got some pointers for this rookie please fill me in. I'm also doing a single stage paint correction as well. Gonna use Pinnacle XMT to get r dun! One of the scratches

Went to my local auto detailing store today. They gave me a free sample of the flicks pre clean. I used it on my aluminum lug nut covers. Here's the before and after, I think it turned out pretty good for an 11-year-old car. They have a lot of pits and deterioration but overall for a daily...

So I opened for business today and booked my first appointment for Thursday & Saturday. I'm doing a wash and wax on Thursday and wash and interior detail Saturday. Wash and wax I'm charging $85 (no interior) and the wash and interior detail is booked at $125. Excited and hope to over deliver...

Just curious which one you guys like. Gonna grab one for the warehouse. 10g, 50' sound about right?

A good friend of mine brought me an old door and headlights off of his junker. It's was a 2000 something Geo Metro. Exactly what I needed to play around with my new polisher and DP AIO headlight restoring polish & protectant. Been a good Christmas so far!

Ordered one from the store mostly because it looked fun. Got it in the mail a couple days ago and busted it out today. I really had fun washing the truck with it. My neighbor came by and was asking me about it as well. It gave me an opportunity to tell him about the business launch next month...

I've been watching all these videos lately and I said I wasn't gonna buy one to start but I've changed my mind. I'm gonna go with the 7424 and a combination of pads. Most people seem to say you need at least two pads of each to start. I've already got people wanting me to remove swirls and water...

Gonna make my first purchase soon and looking for anything I'm missing. I'm brand new and won't offer buffing yet. I have no experience and will have to educate myself more before I can offer this. Just looking to wash, wax and interior detail for my first few months to gain some experience. Let...

Being new to detailing some of you may get a good laugh from this. For my interior I've always used q-tips, old toothbrushes (mostly) and MF towels with multiple interior protectants over the years. Now that I am working on doing things the professional way is there a kit (you'd recommend) that...

Just wanted to take a second and introduce myself. Been lurking for a couple weeks now and found this site to be the most comprehensive forum. Lots of good info for newbies and seasoned detailers. I'm looking to start up early next year and working on my business plan as we speak. My wife says...
