I am a firm believer in if it's too good to be true.... I can see the way this company may benefit in the long run keeping a customer. But with everyone else charging $600 for this unit plus the monthly fees, I don't see why they give it away. I am going to be offering cc payment. But I...

I am interested in diversifying, trying my hand at dent removal and vinyl/leather repairs. Can anyone lead me in the right direction on a good supply house for products and supplies? Thanks guys.

What is the hottest you want the surface of the paint to be while buffing or polishing? What is the ideal temperature while working the product? I am looking for actual temperatures. I mostly use SIP, NANO and Ultra Fina. (Adjustable speed Makita) Thanks

I could not think of a better forum to post this in. I would like to spend -$400 on a camera with changable lenses to take nice photos of my work. I see most here do the same so I wanted to ask my comrades. Mods, if you could let this stay that would be awesome. ;)

I got a call from a member asking for a lot of work to be done on his 330i. He needed it done before Thanksgiving Day and the only time we could work with was starting at 3:00 yesterday. It was raining and cold but he loaned me a jacket to keep the water off my back for the wash. I have to...

I get a call or two a day from my website and it usually pans out to be worth-while. Yesterday, on Friday, I had a job scheduled in Midtown(Atlanta) that took about 4 hours starting at 9:30am. I had lunch with my sister in downtown Decatur(about 2:00) and made my way back to Conyers. I met my...

For those of you that use a hot water extractor. What is the chemical you use for cleaning cloth?

This is my mobile detailing rig. I am sssso happy to be done with the f150 and trailer. This van is the TA-DOW. It's so comfy and handle well for it's size. It certainly does better than my old e250 did. That and my mammoth 5'8" frame can stand upright in the back. Everyone that sees it asks...

The new work van I got had some vinyl letters on the glass. I scrapped the vinyl off but there was some adhesive still on the glass. I have used scrubbed with a nap and used a bug sponge and they got most of it off. But there seems to be some amount still on. Almost how holograms look on...

I've come across quite a few jobs where the car was totally neglected on the inside. Spending 30+ minutes just to get a thorough vacuum job done kinda-work. Sand and heavy soiling. I personally have a hard time cutting myself off. Vacuuming is such a "basic" on interior cleanings. How in the...

I carry my own water in a 200 gallon tank and I may be in a situation where I will need to retrieve my used water(or as much as is reasonable). What options do I have? Thanks fellas.

I found a fantastic deal on a 2004 diesel Sprinter with 34k miles for $18k. I've been working out of a F150 Supercrew and a steel trailer for months. I tote around my own water, generator, pressure washer and all the other stuff you guys would. I would love to work out of this Sprinter. Being...

Here's a Yukon I did full paint correction on yesterday. Enjoy! I did not get to take any pictures of the whole truck when done because I finished at 10:30 at night. The fun stuff: Taped up ready for some correction: After some polishing: Rear panel...

I've been using a rotary for a bout 2 months now. I have not had any issues with holograms while using the foam pads. Using a rotary is awesome, I love it! But, at the same time I have not got the hand on using wool pads. I did a full paint correction job on a Yukon yesterday and the one...

What is a good price range to charge a customer for removing 2 front seats from a Mitsubishi VR4 and giving them the full treatment with leatherique? Thanks fellas.

Hi there fellas. I have been lurking for about a week. I just started my own mobile detail business. I have been detailing friends and families(and my own) cars for about 4/5 years. What I would like to throw out there is my experience today. I've been working at making contacts/business for...
