    Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    Decided to give my sweetheart a maintenance wash but I really wanted to test out this P&S Frostbite and see what it can do. I don’t expect it to be on par with Auto Foam or Touch-less but if it’s...

    Re: New Rupes HLR Battery Polishers

    The 15 is exactly what I've been wanting someone to create. It's an instant buy as soon as I can buy the tool and batteries without the other stuff I don't need.

    Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    The 650 does everything I need and does it very well but I can always use more batteries. That's my only reason for buying. And at some point I plan on buying the Ego generator just to have a nice...

    Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    After staring at this deal for a month I went ahead and pulled the trigger. I figure with selling my 650, which is only 4 months old, the cost to me is about $200 for two batteries and the top of the...

    Re: What did you do today non-detailing related?

    I’m chaperoning a field trip with about 250 middle schoolers to Busch Gardens and words can’t describe how much fun I’m having.

    Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    I decided to throw caution to the wind and do a touchless wash on my car, instead of experimenting on my wife’s. It’s been rainy this week and my car was covered in a light layer of mud and a ton of...

    Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    I used Auto Foam followed by Reset on my wife's RDX and it worked great. I used my Ego to remove all but a few drops of water and mopped up the rest with my towel and drying aid. My car could use a...

    Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    I've done this my wife's SUV but I'm scared to try it on my own. I fear that I'll have some dirt left over and even with using a drying aid I might scratch something.

    Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    I don’t think this is normal. The front wheel was just as bad with curb rash and tire gashes. My neighborhood is mostly Indian and most of the women don’t drive and I don’t even think the majority...

    Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    I should have listened to chilly and walked away. This is the vehicle from my lowballer rant thread. This thing got the works; CSL + EXO, a trim coating and window coating. The application of EXO I...

    Re: Tunnel wash rant - Free speech thread

    This is was shared in a facebook detailing group. Looks like they've moved on from wash and scratch to ding and dent.

    Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    I really had no intention of working on a car today but my wife got back from another trip to Alabama last night. When I went into the garage today and saw that she had hit every bug on her way home...

    Re: Glad someone noticed

    My goal is for my car too look better when I trade it in than when I bought it. With the exception of a mysterious ding that has appeared out of nowhere and a set of small unexplained scratches on a...
  17. Re: THIS REALLY CHAPS MY HIDE - Another Rant Thread

    I actually do budge on my price but it's never for the hagglers. I had a nice guy who took the time to visit my website, check my prices and submit a request via my contact page. We talked and I came...

    This is why I no longer do interiors, except for a very few pleasant customers. The people with the absolute worst cars want them cleaned for insanely low prices.
    I was trained by a couple of guys...
  19. Re: THIS REALLY CHAPS MY HIDE - Another Rant Thread

    I think they're just cheap and it's a cultural thing. Several people in the service industry in my area have had the same issues. The guy who maintained my lawn when I first bought my house had many...
  20. Re: THIS REALLY CHAPS MY HIDE - Another Rant Thread

    I've done work for quite a few friends but I pretty much do it at cost. I don't want it to ever feel like a business transaction and thankfully none of my friends have ever acted in this manner....

    Point taken. I think my wordiness is a carryover from my days preparing 4th graders for the NC writing test. It was all about elaboration and that has stuck with me ever since.

    I'm fine with my...
  22. Re: THIS REALLY CHAPS MY HIDE - Another Rant Thread

    I entertained both of these options. Sadly, due to the payroll department of Cabarrus County Schools royally screwing my school, I will have to go a month without pay this summer. While I have enough...

    TLDR: I hate low ballers and people who want work done for free

    I was doing some yard work and noticed my neighbor across the street hand washing his car. I've been in my house for 9 years and...

    Re: Tunnel wash rant - Free speech thread

    I like this one. It’s a great undercarriage cleaner but doubles as a water broom for patio and porch cleaning. I also discovered that if you invert it, it makes a fantastic concrete cleaner. It...

    Re: Tunnel wash rant - Free speech thread

    I frequently see people get their vehicle returned to them and pull out their own towels and finish drying or wiping off some of the dirt. Damn near every person I’ve told not to go through a tunnel...
