Thanks! That is a great point that I will add to my resume. At this time, I still have the entrepreneur bug in me but need to shift away from self employment for a while. I do enjoy the customer...
Hi everyone,
Thanks in advance for your advice. I am not sure what section is best for my questions here but figured the info would help others. I need help how to describe my detailing experience...
My shop vac has a blower feature on it. I would recommend using some sort of compressed air to blow dry these areas after washing to prevent the rust flash as you call it. Electric leaf blowers will...
I get the leftover buckets from the pool cleaners. The buckets come with a click locked water sealed lid and since they are about almost 7 gal they are a good height for a seat as well when polishing...
I live in Mt. Pleasant, SC right by Charleston. I am only about 1hr 15 min away from Myrtle Beach. I won Platinum award for best paint at last years Celebration Exotic Car Festival for my work on the...
Surbuf pads are great! I had 10 of those at one point and really didnt use much of anything else. They can do some major corrections or light polishing or even used to apply all in ones; its just a...
I drive around in a Town and Country minivan. I have the plastic storage tots that keeps all my stuff organized. I love having the minivan since once I pull up to my clients house I hit a few buttons...
ebay is the way to go for small things like that! One can find the protective plastic laid over carpets, the paper floor mats that say thanks for your service, seat covers,... anything. Any supplies...
+1 for the Powr flite p51. I just ordered one for myself and have been using it for about 2 weeks now. It is so much better than my 15 gal Craftsman shop vac I have and better than any other vac Ive...
Clean em good once then put a sealant wax on them. Klasse is otc one that will work fine for the wheels. After that just mild soap & water should work, if not bad, window cleaner will do too. If you...
I broke my wrist in 4 places a few years ago. I live in Charleston, SC by the beach so Im a total beach bum. My friends convinced me to go try snowboarding even though I had never skied or boarded...
For cheap and portable I've always been well please using the McCulloch MC1275. I got mine off of ebay for just $65! It died on me after a year (prob because it got run over twice oops!) but when it...
I just recently bought the PF51 vacuum online for only $129 with free shipping. Sears was a bit more and then you had to pay for shipping too. My vendor ships from Indiana. I sent you a pm with the...
Get the membership for the snack bar then. My Sams is located right in the middle of my mobile service area so Im in there about 3-4 times a week for lunch. 2 slices of pizza there equals about 4...
To full maximize the blower one must remove the back end and pull the bag out that collects all the debris to maximize the airflow getting sucked in. For the first 2 seconds blow it away from the...
I use the Sams club MF towels all the time. Granted though when it comes time for waxing and ultra high end cars I do use more high end towels. Sams has a few different colors. Ive color coded them...
Check out Collinite 845 Insulator Wax. Its a liquid sealant wax that lasts longer than the NuFinish while also providing a shine worthy of a carnauba based paste wax. Any of the Collinite products...
Only thing I know about them is that their tire dressing must be the thing to rave about it if you have a wholesale physical shop. Every high volume detail shop I've ever seen or heard about uses it...
A high powered steam cleaner will work quickly but in the process it will also spread the sap into one big glob spot on the paint which will have to be compounded out.I wish I hadnt learned that the...
I just got a hold of a dealership myself and did my first 3 cars for them at $75 per vehicle. The dealer buys about 100 cars per month so he said he could keep me busy. I was wavering at first...
No issues there. The riccardo claybar is a very high quality clay. I dont use it cause its expensive to obtain. The mothers wash would provide a sudsy lubrication. As long as he had already washed it...
Compounding always takes longer than a polish. Compounding is done to eliminate as much defects as possible via the transfer of heat & friction so a slower pace around the vehicle is definitely more...
It's hard to say how long it could take you without fully knowing much details about the current condition of the paint. Is it heavily swirled, badly oxidized... what color too? If its been sitting...
You can use a regular microfiber for cleaning the interiors without any issues. I have a large assortment of microfibers on hand and have 4 or 5 different colors. I use a different color for...
