This is a great idea. I own an old Corvette convertible and the car is far from waterproof. A full wash means a wet trunk carpet so waterless washes work great. I am positive a lot of other older...
Don't know if this was mentioned or not but sometimes it's not even a driver that frustrates me. Here in PA our highways are under continual maintenance (don't even ask about our Turnpike which they...
Wow, I thought I didn't like my neighbors but they are a blessing compared to that. Unless we were close friends I'd be hard pressed not to grab my old Louisville and give him a few areas to polish...
I would think word of mouth is huge in the detailing business, both good and bad. See if you can detail some friends and family cars at a lesser rate. Assuming you're going to do an awesome job, have...
I've used that line myself. I have a lot of employees too (I'm not a professional detailer) that ask me to detail their cars, but I have a real hard time taking money from them so I pass.

You can find it on Autogeek by going directly to Optimum's page. It is a pretty good tool except you need to use a 32 oz bottle with it. An actual paint gun would be more universal.
Not that I'm defending this guy because I agree with everyone here. He should be in jail for admitting on camera that he murders 15 cars in 28 days. BUT, he did make that old beater look better and...
Little obsessed? I am full blown crazy obsessed. I run out to the garage every few hours just to see the different reflections as the sun changes. Then I wonder how I can make it even more shiny!
Thanks! It truly is sitting today. I have the carburetor out and I'm currently re-building it. Well, my buddy is doing most of the re-building while I make sure the beer is cold, lol.
No problem, to each there own! I personally like everything shiny on my cars. Shiny paint (especially polished black) and matte wheels just doesn't look right to me. It almost makes the car look...
Here are some pics with Optibond on two of my cars using the spray method. I don't know how they compare to Z-16 since it is one of the few tire dressings I have not used, but this method delivers...
I'm currently using Optibond and really like it. I bought every tire dressing known to man and never found one I liked. I honestly didn't like Optibond either. That is until a man named Richy shared...
I really appreciate all the information. I have tried every method mentioned so far. Here's why Hydro2 falls behind Permanon in my application. I use a CR Spotless system connected to my pressure...
I agree those towels are not for waterless washes. Great for everything else though. I loke the 600 and have plenty of them but I also like CG's Sasquatch Maximus. Try a couple of those next WW.
Careful what you say. Bare aluminum is highly reactive with certain alkaline cleaners. I know a thing or two about electro plating aluminum and one of the first steps in the process is etching the...
I appreciate the tips but I did try what you suggested. Every time I applied it i was in my garage under shop lights. Sorry if my sun light comment made it seem different. At first I thought I was...
That's it. It is hard to describe because it's not a typical streak mark. It's kind of blotchy and really shows up in sun light. The first car i applied it to looked like it had leopard skin spots. ...
