How do you handle an unhappy customer, and foster a possibility of retaining his/her business in the future? I have been detailing for profit since May and am trying very so hard to build a solid reputation for myself which I can use to move forward into the future. This is the subject...

Here is a 2002 WRX in Silver. Interior was vacuumed, panels and dash was degreased, and dressed with 303. Process: - Pretreat with citrus degreaser - Rinse - Wash with Meg's GC + double bucket + sheepskin wool mitt - Clay - Rims cleaned with Meg's Versa Angle brush and toothbrush...

Here is a 2001 Acura Integra GSR, owned by a good friend of mine who had picked up the car a few months ago. The car was in absolutely mint condition from a mechanical perspective, but appearance-wise was another story. I drove the car with my friend a few weeks before I detailed it and was...

How's everyone doing? Everytime I do an LSP on a vehicle, it's covered in dust within minutes! Right now I mainly use #26 liquid, and paste (thanks Paul!). I also have noticed this with Opti-Seal and Poli-Seal (not an LSP, but still attracts dust). What are some methods I can use to...

As I'm writing this, I am EXTREMELY pissed, so pardon me if I come across being a bit of an a-hole. To make a long story short, someone hot boxed my parents 2006 Odyssey and I NEED to get rid of the smell FAST b/c I am getting it appraised in the morning at the dealership along with some...

Hey everyone! This past weekend I did a detail on a car. I compounded it, and then followed up with PO106FF with a white pad. Problem is that I could not get the polish to break down properly. What ended up happening was as I was working it in, some parts would break down and buff off without...

Hello everyone! It's been a while since I posted a click & brag but I've found the time to put together this post of a car I did a few weeks ago. This car was brought to me by the owner who expressed his desire to bring the car back to its best condition possible given the circumstances and its...

Greetings! Today (and yesterday...and the day before), I had a very rough detail to do on an absolutely trashed car which you will see in the C&B once I get all the pics sorted into proper sequence. However I wanted to share my utmost satisfaction with Menzerna's Nano Polish with you all by...

Greetings everyone :) I had the pleasure of detailing this SLK230 that was covered in swirls and random scratches. It was a fun project that I did in about 12 hours using a PC as I don't have a rotary backing plate that will fit my pads at the moment, but no worries :) Here are some pics...

Here is a rather rare car, sold only in Canada (1.6EL) and Japan (called "Domani"), made by Honda. Yes it looks like a Honda civic, because it shares the same chassis, engine and a few other things. It is also sold by Isuzu under the name Gemini. I have a soft spot for these cars as we used...

Hello fellow Autopians! I posted in the Regional forums first but have not received any responses yet so I thought I'd put it out here. I'm looking for a new or used (must be in excellent condition) 6 inch rotary backing plate (5/8") to accompany my CCS 6.5" pads. Preferably flexible...

Hello fellow Canadians. I am looking for a 6" rotary backing plate and would like to know if anyone is willing to sell me one. It can be new or used. If used, it has to be in excellent condition. If it's new...well then I'd like to assume its not going to fall apart on me, as is my expectation...

Greetings! Could someone be so kind as to tell me of a place where I can order SIP in Canada? I REALLY don't want to buy from AG because of the shipping cost and possible crazy customs charges that may ensue. Thanks in advance! Kaval

Here is a very good friend of the soft cloth car wash; a lovely 2006 750i. I started this on Saturday at roughly 11am, and finished Sunday at around 3pm. I spent a ton of time on this car making multiple passes with products to get correction done. Process as follows: Pretreat with citrus...

Hello ladies and gentleman! I am here with my 2nd Click and Brag, bringing 3 cars to the showcase! Up first is a 2003 Lexus IS300 in Silver. The owner purchased it three weeks ago, used with 140K KMs. Very nice car; 5 spd tranny with LSD (yummy!). I was very pressed for time as I had planned...

Hey guys (and gals). I'm relatively new here and have some questions that my searching has not answered completely. I have someone who wants some polishing done on their 2002 Lexus IS300 in Absolutely Red. It is a non-metallic paint...seems to be flat (hence the name "absolutely red"). He had...

Did a friend's mom's 1998 Corolla. The carpets were neglected for almost 8 years, so I had my work cut out for me. This car had EVERYTHING I could think of, and more. I started at about 12, and finished at 9. In that time, I had my hose break, water bottle break (that I replaced the hose with)...

Hey everyone. I've been browsing this forum for quite a while and finally decided to register. I love detailing and I want to learn more. I'm currently in the market for a rotary buffer/polisher as an upgrade from my random orbit. I guess each serves a purpose, but I'd like to step up my skills...
