    First Paid Detail. Corvette Z06

    i wouldn't worry about speed. if your process take a little longer because you want to do you best, then so be it. if this is a side hustle or even your attempt to go full time. you'll attract clients that care more about a correct job vs. a quick job. several shops take this approach and it...

    2012 Mustang GT in for Sale prep

    They started allowing that in 2012, dumb in my opinion as they don't "fit" the car but to each their own. Great work! Maybe they'll decide to keep it now!

    Removing chipping spray paint from wheels

    I'm going to try a pressure washer, as the original paint looks to be safe under this hack job spray paint nonsense. I can scrape the spray paint off with my nail so a pressure washer shouldn't have any problem on 3 of the 4 wheels. However, that remaining wheel looks to have been properly...

    Very nice work! I'm hoping my Race Red mustang looks half as good when I'm done with it.

    2009 Porsche Carrera S - Corrected and Coated with CQuartz Finest

    great results as usual! I too have purchased CarPro glass towels. How long do you use them for before you toss em? Do you wash them with the rest of your microfiber? Also, what's your technique on the windshield? I typically come in from the passenger side and use my right hand (top of my...

    Ready to begin polishing!

    Hey guys- I've been around some but haven't been too active. I'm a hobbiest/weekend warrior. I'm using my own cars to develop my processes and feel really good about all the steps leading up to paint correction (washing, claying, maintenance and etc.) I'm on the Meguiar's Kool-Aid and their...

    Removing chipping spray paint from wheels

    I'll look around, I think I may be up a creek though unless I somehow manage to remove the spray paint and not let anything eat through the factory clear coat/paint.

    Removing chipping spray paint from wheels

    Hey Guys- This is an odd situation but I know this land of knowledge will be able to help. I bought car this weekend and am very happy with it but the previous owner seems to have done a little modification work. I noticed the wheels looked either dirty or painted from the dealer's pictures...

    Does this look like a professional job?

    I would agree, those two do top notch jobs. They detail a lot of their work on this site and it's nothing short of correct. People don't typically post evidence of their lack of skill. You may want to let them take over on this one and find a practice car to get confident with the process.

    Finished Rides at Clarity

    Great work as always. Do y'all stick to the same products and tools on all cars or is it more situational where sometimes you might use Chemical Guys on one car and Adam's on another?

    Question for those who use a spray wax or QD when drying

    I have two 16x24 guzzlers but only use one at a time. They do their job really well. Typically I use about 1-2 full sprays (trigger all the way back) for smaller panels with 3-4 on larger panels (SUV's have huge doors). Less is more when I'm using anything. It typically performs better and...

    Question for those who use a spray wax or QD when drying

    The guzzler is great and it works well when wet (water attracts water). I can do my wife's Ford Edge using one guzzler easily. I'll wet the towel entirely, wring it out, and then begin drying. This technique works very well and leaves a small water residue that evaporates by the time you're done...

    PW/2B Wash technique

    Hey Guys, I'm looking to grab a PW for around the house and know that a cannon can be attached to foam a car. From what I understand people typically foam the car and let it dwell. Then remove after 3-5min. Then foam again followed by a two bucket wash. So, do you still fill a bucket with...

    Don't let family wash your car

    Yup. Extend Grace. Life is all about raking leaves that aren't yours and picking up messes you didn't make. I think you handled it well albeit the frustration.

    Mothers vs meguiars

    As someone who started with Mothers, I have now switched entirely to Meguiars. Not that they're inferior but Meguiars offers a more comprehensive line of products. If you're anything like me and like to depend on one manufacturer for all of your needs, Meguiars can cover anything from towels and...

    May have found a new process for myself

    I can see this working but having to touch each part of the wheel with your finger can get old. I remember, before I ever got into this hobby, using a microfiber towel to just wipe my wheels off! Meg's tire and wheel cleaner, let it sit for 15-30sec, wet my brushes and go to work. Rinse when...
