I had a client come in last week for daytime drop-off and returned 2 hours later without warning and needed the car back immediately for a work emergency. I had finished the interior and washed the outside. I wanted to get the full detail in and not lose any money so I had to think fast. I...

Is Menz 3500 runny? My bottle is +3 years old, dont remember when I last used it and watery, wondering if its expired. TIA-

I've been using Collonite 845 as my go-to machine applied wax for clients who don't go for a AIO package. Are there any other non-staining trim staining waxes that can be zapped on a car with a polisher? I took a look at 3D Cherry wax but that stains.....

I got another odd quote request today I thought I would share. A gentleman wanted “his side” of the car detailed……only his side……. Don’t drag me into whatever domestic vehicle dispute you got brewing :laughing: what other weird requests have you guys had?

I was curious if any of the other detailers have had this happened. I opened up my Google business account about 9 months ago and every couple of months I'll get message: 1. Are you a detailing business? and 2. how much for car X. (I have standard package pricing loaded on there for anyone to...

I just finished a white Audi A-6 last night which was contaminated with a lot of iron from the brake pads. I made 2 trips around the car with Megiuars spray clay which has worked great for me in the past, but this time it really didn't touch the rust/orange spots. I upped things by using a...

Hi Guys, I have a E400 Merc coming in the first week of April and the last one I touched was in 2005 and had diamond-hard paint. The owner wants a one step and was curious if you found any of the current one-steps lacking on ultra hard paint? I'm thinking about hitting it with 3D Speed but if...

I have a Royobi electric pressure washer for 2 years, it looks like the GFI plug is dead. Does anyone make a replacement unit I can pop on there or are they so amp/watt specific that a generic GFI plug wouldn't work with my unit?

I had a client come in last week for a interior detail only on a 2020 Toyota Camry, Midnight blue fully loaded. During drop off she approached me about removing some "minor' scratches on her hood. The minor scratches were not minor, they were caused by snow removal with a garden rake....yup not...

I've got a Black Lariat coming in next week, black leather. I've used Griots 3-1 Leather spray on other cars but smeared in my black F150 but I never picked up a replacement product. Who's using what on black leather? 3d Leather Vinyl and Plastic conditioner?

With Flex EOLing the 3401 and just about backordered everywhere I'm wondering if anyone has intel to what is replacing the 3401 & timeframe or should I start looking at a Rupes Mille? I need to add a forced rotation to my inventory or Im going to have to bail entirely and add a DO machine with...

So I think I have my next project for later this summer. A 1977 Cadillac Deville. Its my FIL's car, was bought by his Aunt, driven and put into a shipping container circa 1980. It was occasionally checked over the years for damage but never driven or started. It was pulled in 2018, refreshed...

I hoping for some advice from you guys on my Black 2019 F150. It is kept outside but washed and maintained regularly. Protection since I bought it in March 2020 has been with Collonite 845 in the summer and 845 topped with 476S in the winter. The truck sat on the lot for 7 months before I bought...

Hi Guys, new poster, old detailer from the early 2000's but been out of the game for the last 16 years. My wifes poodle got a tennis ball stuck under our new Toyota Sienna and decided to dig his way through my front fascia to get it. I have alot of scratches in the clear coat, only a couple of...
