Re: Mike Phillips - Vehicle Inspection Form - Version 2 Can someone send me a copy please. [email protected]

Does anyone have a check list or inspection sheet for when you do you walk around on a vehicle? If you do would it be possible to email it to me?

I totally agree with you on over thinking it. It's a bad habit of mine for sure right along with perfectionism. But what you said makes sense and it's what I'm going to do I'm just going to keep it simple.

I believe I have the tools to do great exterior and engine bay cleaning but as far as interior goes I'm pretty bare bones I get it really clean but I know I need to seriously improve so my interior detail as starting off will be very cheap since I am so novice at it. I'm not going to lie...

I'm thinking I am mainly going to focus on exterior first then interior I will do basic interior cleaning but specialize in exterior. services I am going to offer: Hand wash and dry which includes fender well scrub and door jam cleaning $35.00? I will be using the griots orbital and...

I think that's the idea I'll go for I think I'm reading to much into it it's something I love to do so I'll enjoy it and make a few bucks just see where it goes from there! :)

Hello all I have yet again come to everyone on here to save the day :) For over a year now I have people stop and ask me who details my cars and once I tell them I do they want to know if I do it as a business. I do no I am just your weekend enthusiast but I am thinking that maybe just for the...

Thanks for dropping in on this subject Mike! I am still fairly new to doing actual detailing I always keep my car spotless but it was always wash throw on wax and go. That being said now that I am researching other products and how they work I am almost overwhelmed by it all. I mainly chose...

Oh don't be mistaken I love my cyclo but sometimes I need something with more power to cut with or I'm work a tight area where the cyclo is just to large

I was thinking maybe try pinnacle xmt or the griots machine polish

I don't know for sure but if I am doing it after every section is that to much? I might be ok maybe I'm using to much pressure I just know it concerns me :(

I'm using a firm orange polishing pad and I prime it like Mike says to in the book using a circle around the outside of the pad and with my finger cover the pad so that there isn't any dry spots. My next question once you make your six passes Mike mentions cleaning your pad by using a terry...

I recently bought the griots farad orbital polisher with uber soft pads. I'm using meguiars mirror glaze 83 to remove defects and I also have mikes auto detailing book. Once I'm polishing I have a few different issues arise I my pad seems to dry before my six passes so I have to stop and re...

I totally agree with you there as far as wax and sealants I think they could improve but as far as the product to get the best appearance from your paint meguiars has it. I've noticed myself lately leaning towards companies who've been in the business for many years like meguiars collinite and...

Valid point I should have been more lest on what I meant I was referring to the more expensive products. I am very happy with the products of theirs I have tried especially the 205 polish

You hear those names really often through out the other forums but seems like meguiars stays under the radar

Just something that hit me the other day as I was polishing a car with (meguiars 205) and I got to thinking. How does meguiars professional line stack up to the competition? I've used or use griots,chemical guys,poor boys,collinite and others those are some of my main ones. So shoot me some...

Oh yes I will take my time for sure I've always loved having a clean care but thanks to autogeek I now think I have an addiction to auto detailing

Awesome I'm hoping to post some photos soon! i think i might do my car this week see if all the help I've been given has sunk in :xyxthumbs:

So to take care of the swirls start with a light polish or what I think best if that doesn't work go to the next or start with a compound then swirl remover then polish then sealant and last wax? Do you have any links as far as techniques with the cyclo?
