    IK Foam 9 Sprayer, worth it?

    I've been interested in a few of the IK sprayers for quite some time now. One thing I quickly learned when I branched out into for-profit detailing is: a good spray bottle is worth its weight in gold. I can't stand leaky caps, poor spray performance, and failures in the middle of a job. I...

    Critique my setup

    To start off, I'm more of an enthusiast who recently decided to go for-profit. Granted, this will be a side hustle as I have a steady day job. I kinda went a little over board, picked up quite a few products to test them out and see what I liked, what worked and what didn't. Not shown in the...

    Badges, Emblems, and Decals

    I apologize if this has been addressed before, I’m sure it has but I couldn’t find much on the topic. Many newer vehicles are plastered with manufacturer badging/emblems and decals. How do you deal with these during a one step detail? I specifically mention a one step because on a high-end...

    Local detail shop's prices and an overall rant/future outlook

    Quick note on my background first: I've been a detailing enthusiast since I bought my first car, 15 years later and I'm just beginning to detail for-profit. I'm not advertising, just getting business by word of mouth, which is all I can handle currently, as work 50-55 hrs/wk at my day job. All...

    Looking to make another investment (polisher)

    I’ve been detailing as a hobby for quite a few years, and just recently began detailing for-profit. I started with the older model PC7424, I believe it was marketed as a sander? A few months ago I picked up a Flex XC3401, which I paired with some LC Force Hybrid pads. This tool has greatly...

    Flex 3401 & WGUC issues

    Hello all, I recently recieved my Wolfgang FLEX XC3401 ultimate polishing kit order from AG, and today was my first day using the 3401. This tool is amazing! Now, on to my question: I began with the 5-1/2" LC Cyan pad and WG Uber Compound 3.0. I spritzed the pad with the WG pad conditioner...

    What would you do? (possible damage from detail)

    I detailed my friend/co-worker’s car last week. 1 step polish/wax + full interior detail. I cut him a pretty good deal as I usually do for friends/co-workers. We didn’t discuss it prior, but I went ahead and detailed the engine bay as well. I’ve always detailed plenty of engine bays on both...

    Being more efficient during a detail

    I’ll start off by saying I’m by no means a pro detailer. I’ve been detailing for about 12 years or so, but never for profit, usually just my vehicles, relatives, etc. I recently detailed a co-worker’s vehicle, and he compensated me for the job, he also suggested I make this into a part time gig...
