Is there a certain temperature that once it falls below you guys bring your chemicals inside?  My garage is insulated but does not have full time heat and I've been debating whether or not to bring my stuff inside.  I'd rather not empty out my detailing cabinet, but I don't want to ruin anything...

Well, I completed my first paying job on Saturday.  Wasn't a "correction" type job or anything, but the guy drove away tickled and wants me to do his Black 95 GMC truck whenever I can.   Interior was vac'd, hard surfaces and seats wiped down with a diluted citrus cleaner, protected with...

Long story short, a product I was counting on having before detailing a car tomorrow hasn't arrived yet.  I stopped by several stores today looking for something to quick replace it but left empty handed, which leads me to my question...     Has anybody ever looked into being distributor of any...

The ole detailing cabinet was getting a little messy so I decided to tackle that little bit of a project.  I didn't have a real good way of storing my microfibers and pads, so picked up this 3 drawer bin at target to get all that stuff out of the cabinet:       The bin works great except that...

Got a chance to finally mess with HD Polish courtesy of David F. and 3D Products review program.  A quick description:     http://www.3dproducts.com/HD-Advanced-Polish.html       <span style="color:rgb(38,38,38);font-family:Verdana, Tahoma, Arial...

Well boys and girls, it looks like I've got my first "paying" job coming up with a second possibly after that, and the one product I'm missing is something that will work for a "one step" polish/wax job.   Up until now I've always done whatever polishing steps were necessary followed by a...

Hey guys, I jumped on the awesome opportunity to evaluate HD Nitro Seal, so here I am with a few thoughts. I will be using it on both of my vehicles, but my wife's 2010 Ford Fusion is first up as it spends more time outside. Here's a link to the product with a brief description: 3D...

I'm wondering what everyone is using for lighting in their garages.....more specifically for when you're correcting paint. I've got a typical 3 car garage that I do my work in and I need to make some improvements in the lighting. I've currently got about 7 or 8 4' dual bulb t8 lights on the...

I'm going to be doing paint correction and a sealant on my wife's car this weekend. I'm wondering what you guys do to polish up that fake chrome material that is used on grills and trim. Correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as I know there isn't really any "correcting" you can do with that...

For those of you who do details for money, how did you know you were ready to start charging? I'm in the process of doing some "freebies" to hone my skills, but not sure at what point I'll be "ready to go" and start actively pursuing jobs for cash.

Just a quick little background......I'm a complete amateur who's lurked here for years and just took care of our own vehicles. Over the past couple of months I've tossed around the idea of getting into doing some jobs on the side. I've got a good job, so I have no intentions of a full time...

I'm putting together a gameplan for my truck and my wife's car that are both daily driven and see a good amount of time outside. I've decided to clean out my old detail supplies and start fresh with some new products. Question is, what are you guys using for your daily drivers and what's your...
