I know this sounds crazy, but I am curious on what type of product and towel, you would use to clean a dashboard. Now the crazy part is that on this model vehicle, the dash is like a rubbery compound, and not a traditional plastic. Would definitely use some sort of lint free towel, but I don't...

This past summer, I started detailing as a part time side business. Now that my full time job is slowing down, and winter approaching, I am wanting to focus on next year. This past summer, my business was strictly "word of mouth". I have been working on my web site, but I feel it needs...

Well, the nice days in Cincinnati, Ohio are numbered, so I wanted to get one of our cars ready for winter. Here was my process... Washed car with Griots Garage Brilliant Finish Car Wash. 2 Bucket Method w/ grit guards. Cleaned wheels with GG Heavy Duty Wheel Cleaner. Dried off with The...

I finally got the chance to use HD Speed. Washed with 2 BM, then squeegee dried along with my GG PFM towel. I used my shop vac to blow water from the cracks. Once dried, I used HD Speed with my GG-6 with orange pad. Once completed Speed, wiped down and then applied Pinnacle Souveran wax by...

Well I am trying to decide to use Pinnacle Liquid Souveran Wax, or my HD Speed? Machine wax, or by hand? I have sealed the paint about 2 months ago with GG Paint Sealer. Finishing up with the clay bar. Although the paint really does not need claying. Going on my 2008 Dodge Nitro that is a light...

Looking for a wax that will make this color pop, or looking for that wet look. Sorry that these may not be the best of pictures. Paint is in very good shape.

My question has probably been asked many times before, so let me ask this again... I am now starting to generate income from part time detailing, and I would like to expand some on my equipment. From the money I am making, I would like to take maybe 50 percent of the income and invest into items...

So I took on a challenge of getting this 2003 Nissan Quest back to a decent ride. This thing was down right nasty, but the customer was as happy as a pig in poo. Not to mention that he even threw in a fifty dollar tip on top of what I charged him. eyecandyautodetail

Well, I finally got my website put together. Now, I would like some constructive critiquing on my site. Attempting to keep it simple, please let me know your thoughts and what you might change. I realized that on my photo's in my galleries section plates should be blurred out. Thanks for your...

Curious as to web hosting sites and prices. Looking at Mikes sticky from 2010, I find the hosting service no longer available. My question is what is a good web hosting service, and monthly rate you are paying for? I am currently designing a web site, but they want 6 bucks a month for upgraded...

Wanted to throw this question out to you all. When using a spray wax as you are drying a vehicle, can you use a chamios as you dry and apply spray wax? I do majority of drying a vehicle with a chamios, but I am not sure if the spray on wax will affect the chamios for future use? Or is it better...

Detailed the exterior of the Ford Esacpe SE. Did a 2 bucket wash system, dried with chamois, microfiber towels, compressed air. Once dried, I clayed the paint with Mothers Clay and Griots Garage Speed Shine. Applied Meguiars Gold Class Carnauba Wax with my Griots Garage 6" random orbital buffer...

Pretty new to the forums here, but I am curious on what product to use to remove these types of scratches? I will be using a GG 6" polisher, and currently have GG orange pad. Or what setup and product would you recommend? Any suggestions is greatly appreciated.

So after being in the work force for some 35 plus years, i can say that I have found a profession that I enjoy. Don't get me wrong, I work in fiber optics as my full time job, but I would like to make some extra coin on the side. Been reading alot of good stuff here on the forums here of what to...

Well being a Newbie here, I spent the past couple of days asking a few questions around here. Want to thank everyone for their input. So after washing and waxing my wife's 2005 Honda Accord, I was just not happy with the outcome. I noticed that the paint felt gritty. A person on this forum...

Since this is my first post, let me start by saying Hello to everyone. I am not a professional detailer, but I enjoy taking care of my 3 vehicles. Well I used my old orbital buffer yesterday for the first time in a few years and the pad just went to crap (dry rotted). For years, I used a cheap...
