Thank you all! Folex and scrubbing did the most on the upholstery, then the extractor with the massive carpet attachment did help! On the carpet I used Folex, lots of scrubbing and the Tornado. The...
Instead of posting a ton of pictures again, please go take a look at my Facebook page where I posted everything. It came out darn well! Sorry it took me...
You'd be surprised how clean I have already gotten it! Oh, and the floor mats, not including the small rear one pictured, came out really nicely!! I'll see what I can do with the hot water extractor...
Here is some of what I'm dealing with. Already vacuumed the crap out of the upholstery, the pictures are before, to get as much dirt out as possible. Folex seems to be doing the best job, so I am...
I have worked on a Mazda 3 hatchback once and that carpet was impossible to get all of the particles out of! I am going to do my absolute best with what I have. The guy understands that it is not...
I did not take pictures, but I just confirmed a detail job of a Mazda 3 with the worst soiled interior that I have ever seen. I have a Tornador, Folex, 303 Spot clean and brushes. It is a light tan...
As you may have read already from Richy's "19 year old BMW" show-n-shine post, he had another member on this board come and watch and learn. That member was me, and I had a great time. I have deep...
Now, I'll admit, I was enjoying the weather and never really rushed, but as much as I do, there is no way that it would ever take me close to 4 hours! The wheel wells, wheels and tires took me a...
Thank you all for the feedback on my website and all of the experienced advice! I listen to it all and take it to heart. I want to succeed and get the right customers too. I will take some time to...
Wow, now that is some money, although I have not had a polish or coating customer. And, I did inspect the vehicle, I am just new to assessing stains and issues and how long they will take. I added...
Lately my detail jobs, no paint correction, have turned into 8 plus hour deals. Yesterday I detailed a Ford Ranger for a total of 10 hours and made $175! It was a gorgeous day, so I enjoyed myself,...
I just bought a Tornado Black and have a 13 gal 6.7 cfm 3.5 HP compressor. One thing to note, make sure that you have good tight fittings, as a leaky fit causes way too much air loss and the Tornado...
I appreciate the advice and guidance. Nothing wrong with being as prepared as possible, though. Roanoke, Va is definitely the south but I am definitely getting out there shortly. Working on a...
I detailed a truck not too long ago and it decided to hail like I have never seen before! Thankfully, it was at my shop so it was already inside. Now, the good part!
Wow, if only I could start making a third of that at a time! I will definitely offer demonstrations to people. To some degree the pricing is almost more for us detailers so that we can stay honest...
I am insanely jealous that you got to work on this beauty, Rich! I always love to hear how you adapt to different paint. The results are simply stunning!! Great work!!
Thanks guys! I forgot to mention that I also still work at a feed store and often lift a ton of 50 pound bags of feed. That really gets to both my back and wrist! I am hoping to drop the job all...
I do have a rolling pneumatic seat, which is nice to use sometimes. However, sometimes sitting on the ground is just needed to get as low as possible...
