MF detailing clothing

D3mon · 07-02-06, 06:33

I'm always worried that while leaning over the car I'll scratch up a panel somehow with my clothes...

How about some Autopia-branded MF overalls!

I'm kicking myself in the behind for not thinking of this first.

The tagline could be: Tired of buffing by hand? Buff by arm, leg or butt!

Its 97 in So Cal! Are you kidding me?!?! The last thing I need is additional apparel! But maybe come Fall/Winter/Spring time!

Its better than what Griots mention in their catalogue, about going nekkid to avoid scratches

Eewww. It gets hot down here in S. Florida. I don't think I want somebody's sweaty/oily body rubbing up against my car!!!

That brings up the question...What do you wear to detail? My "uniform" (I'm not a pro) is a t-shirt and drawstring/elastic waist shorts without buttons.

Back to the original subject...If someone did make MF clothing, it would give a whole new dimension when you describe MF as "grabby!"

I wear khaki shorts and a polo - dont have any business polos for myself since I just work out of my garage just the casual Express,Abercrombie, whatever I feel like putting on. Usually with some white shoes to make sure I dont trip over my feet in flip flops

The solution is simple... DON'T LEAN ON THE CAR! However, if this is a problem withh some then just go to a housewares or kitchen supply house and buy light cotton chef's aprons to wear. You can buy them online or at the mall, all cotton, three pack, work great... http://ww2.williams-sonoma.com/cat/p...3293&cmsrc=sch

Wow!!! You must be making GOOD money with your business to be using Express and Abercrombie shirts for mucking about!!!

And to DFTowel....You must be over 6 feet tall or have an incredible wingspan to not have to lean a little to get to the middle section of the roof of even midsize cars! I'm 5'9" and I have to go on tiptoes to reach that area. I am careful not to just hang all over the side of the car as I'm doing this. I'll check out the soft apron thing the next time I'm in one of those home goods stores.

haha, I wish I had enough money to be muckin around in Express and Abercrombie out when Im doing hard labor and getting dirty. But with detailing I dont seem to get too dirty, the occassional polish will splatter on me or get some marks. But shoot em with the Folex and Im good to go

I dont really like wearing just plain tshirts, more of a polo guy. A tip to any of you looking to dress it up a little bit when detailing or looking for a good deal. There are some stores around here that are secondhand stores, but everything is name brand and checked for quality/stains. For $8 I can pick up an abercrombie polo that was new 2 months ago. There may be some in you area as well...Also, check ebay - brand new express and abercrombie shirts for well below retail. Sorry a little off topic
