Hi, folks. Name is Billy.

Been a lurker, learner, and Auto Geek store purchaser for a while now.

A business partner and I started a part-time detailing gig a few months ago. (He is on here somewhere.) We mostly focus on paint corrections and ceramic coatings or waxes, but also do other odd and end jobs ie. load leveling bags, light bars, audio install, misc. repairs...you get the idea. As of now we do this out of our garage's. We hope to change this by mid to late next year.

We have leaned a ton of info here and cannot thank each and everyone of you.

For polishers, we have the following,
2-Flex 3401's
1-Griots G21
1-Griots 3"
1-PC 7424xp
1-HF polisher (converted to 3")

Here are a few pics of what we have done recently. (Please excuse some of the photos, my partner needs to learn to camera better lol)

2002 Tacoma (Wash, wax, engine bay-de-clay) 147,000 miles IIRC.
Owner wanted it cleaned up to unload it.

This was a test spot, paint was very chalky.

Thanks all for the awesome accolades and the warm welcomes. I am that non-camera-ing partner he mentioned. LOL

We are hopefully getting a few more clients here very soon from a mustang club around us and perhaps even may end up getting a few traveling jobs as well.

If anyone has any tips and advise on anything at all with this detailing world.....we are always listening as we are continuously learning.....

Thanks again, all!
