A customer brought his 2011 Nissan Altima to me this afternoon for it's first clay and sealant since I told him not to pay them $500 to do it. When I delivered it back to him after claying it and applying a generous coat of EX-P the look on his face was like :drool: then when I told him that...

Well I live in a home with no garage but wanted to show off some of my detailing stuff. I call this the "Poorboy's Room". I recently was able to score this room when the tenant who lived in it was thrown out.:yay:rockon:bigups

Any detailers here worked at a dealership? If so, can you tell me anything about the products and process involved in the removal of cosmoline? Additionally what parts of a new car would you typically find cosmoline on?

I am looking at doing some quicker details and want to try out a variety of AIO products that contain heavy fillers. Can anyone here suggest some?

I spent the last few hours making this shirt up. I have a friend who get's his shirts made up and next time he orders shirts we are going to double the order (his and mine) to get the discount but until then here is the best I could pull off. Everything came from Walmart to make this. Here are a...

I recieved a call from a regular client this morning, he told me the sad news that he rolled his car yesterday. The good news is that he is just a bit bruised but otherwise ok. He is going to purchase a brand new Nissan Altima today. He questioned me about the paint protection plan that the...

A good friend called yesterday and said he just got a fishing boat and invited me to take it out for a night of river fishing. Being a spur of the moment type of guy I ran out and got a fishing license and off we went. This was the first time I have fished from a boat in over 10 years. We only...

I have not done any research into the solvent levels in different waxes. I have a few different waxes, some soft, some hard and some liquid. Generally speaking, I like to apply a sealant as a base protection but notice that bugs and water spots are more difficult to remove from a sealant than...

Hi DCers, I did a search on horse trailers here and found a thread from 2003, at that time it seems none of the DC members had detailed any horse trailers. How about now? Any of you guys polished a horse trailer? I am going to be detailing a Dodge Ram tomorrow at a farm where they stable race...

Hi DCers, My Mom called me today all shook up, saying she was scared and that a tree had fallen on her house and she didn't know what to do. Nobody was hurt so I told her just to call the insurance company and I would be over to help where I could. This is what I found when I got there...

Does anyone here reclaim their water runoff from washing? If so, what reclamation devices do you use, where did you get the device(s) and what do you do with the reclaimed water?

Hi everybody, I am working with some folks who are starting a dealeship of pre-owned Mercedes Benz, BMW, Audi and Porsche cars. His thought on the selling price range per car is between $15,000 and $25,000. There has been no property purchased or leased yet but they have their eye on one. I, up...

This Truck is used for farm related work so it got just a simple one step polish with the Flex and Poorboy's PWS using a white Poorboy's VC polishing pad. The wheels were cleaned with PB S&R and EZ Detail brush Tires and Wells scrubbed using Super clean and dressed with PB B&B PB Trim...

As the title says I am looking for a copy of a wiring diagram for my father's 88 Trans-Am. I could possibly go to the local library and look for one but thought I would ask if anyone here at DC might have a copy of one or knows of a site where I could find one to copy. Thanks for any insight. TD

This car belongs to a regular client of mine. He just got the car from his Father and the car has 200,000 miles on it. It rained both times I was over to work on this car. Today I was just able to get a coat of wax on it after doing the finish pass. One more trip over to do a second coat of wax...

This thread might appeal to our older members here at DC. Now I am not suggesting that any of our members are ancient but the fact remains that a lot of the younger members may have never seen let alone used any of these old waxes. Recently I was given a tin of 20+ year old wax made by BAF...

My room mate ran his uninsured harley into my car some time back. This Easter my brother gave me a Simoniz Pops-A-Dent kit. I normally don't mess around with as seen on TV kind of stuff. My scheduling got all messed up this week so I had some free time and decided to give it a try and give a...

This was a last minute call on a day that I thought would be a no work day. The client and I had been trying to get together on this for a while now. This was not intended to be a full paint correction job but more of an attack on the dry rubber trim and to simply bring the shine up to a nice...
