Just wondering what everyone is doing to dry wet interiors after extraction. I hate giving a vehicle back to a customer when it is still damp so I want to find something that will speed up dry time. Currently I will extract, do a couple dry passes, use a clean terry cloth and rub down the...

I currently have a promo that I am running that includes an all-in-one on the exterior...it has proved to be very popular and is keeping me busy. I am currently using Pinnacle XMT 360 as my AIO because it claims it will not stain trim (saves time on taping off trim). I like how easy it is to...

This is a question more for the detailers that operate in colder/rainy climates. This is my first official winter operating my detail shop and I have been experiencing a terible slow down in business since December. I expected business to slow down during the cold and rainy season in...

I have a customer that needs me to get his Silverado done before going on holidays. I only have about a 4 hour time slot for him so I need the best one step polish followed by a wax or sealant. I was thinking of using M205 and then KSG, but not sure KSG would bond properly without Klasse...

I recently bid on a contract for cleaning the fleet of vehicles for a care home/supportive living home (8 cars bi-weekly for wash and vacs with interior wipe down, and 40 units for full details twice a year). Anyway, I got the word today that I won the bid which is great. The problem is that...

I did a search and could not find much info on XMT 360. I just got a bottle of the stuff on Friday, and on Saturday I used it on a black Ford F350 Crew Cab, Long box. Having no previouse experience with the stuff I have to say that I am impressed with the results for an AIO, but just wondering...

Just wondering if anyone is certified to offer biohazard cleanup of interiors (ie. cleaning up blood, needles, vomit, etc). I was talking with the owner of a body shop today and he told me that whenever a car is stolen or in an accident and there is blood, needles, or other biohazard materials...

Hey guys, I came across this detail van that I am interested in buying. I thought I would try get an idea of what ya'll think its worth. I value the van alone at $9000 (2003 Express with low mileage) but I'm having a hard time putting a number on the equipment. He wont part it out so I...

Up until recently I have been detailing out of the trunk of my Mazda3 sedan...by the time all of my gear was loaded into it I was left with no room for an air compressor. I finally got a van (Mazda MPV) with much more cargo space and would like to get a compressor for doing interiors. I...

I started my mobile detailing business this past winter and due to insufficient fundalation I did not buy a pop up canopy to work under during the rainy season. Business has been fairly good and I want to buy a canopy of this winter. Initially I was planning to buy a cheap $100 canopy from...

I searched the forum and could not find any info on how to polish a painted aluminum boat. Should it be treated like automotive paint or more like gel coat? I'm just not sure how to best tackle it. I have not actually seen the boat yet, but the customer I am doing it for says it needs a...

I have an Hummer (H2) detail coming up that has miles of black plastic trim on it. My plan is to use Klasse AIO followed with Klasse sealant...do I need to worry about taping of the trim? I think I remember reading that because it is an acrylic product it will not stain black trim...true or false?

The other night I threw together a website for my detailing business. I used a template program that gives limited control over colors, fonts, etc so the layout can not be changed too much. What I would like is some input on the actual content. I will be updating the pictures soon with higher...

Last week I stopped by a new customers house to take a look at his boat...it was built in 1976 and appeared to be in reasonable condition with "minor" oxidization on the top side of the boat. I don't have a lot of experience with boats but I have polished about 5 in the last few months. With...

Hello all...I got a sample of a bulk solvent based tire and trim dressing that goes on WAY to glossy. Just wondering if it can be diluted down with water. Thanks a bunch.

Last week my PC was out of commission so I had to use my Makita on a few used cars that I was doing pre-sale details on. I usually only use the rotary after wet sanding and follow it up with my PC to eliminate holograms, but this past week I did not have that option and was forced to use the...

To date I have not got too involved with full correction jobs but I want to get some experience with it so I can offer it to my customers and hopefully get new customers. I already have a PC and a Makita rotary but decided to start fresh and order a bunch of supplies. After reading a bunch...
