One of my favorite customers just got an 08 shelby gt500 that is dark grey with black vinyl stripes. I went to see it today and removed the dealer sticker while I was there. She pointed out that there were swirls in the paint and on the stripes from the dealer :hairpull. She wants me to polish...

I know these kind of questions come up all of the time, but I'm really confused as to what polishes I should buy. I am wanting to polish my '05 torch red mustang and my mom's black envoy over the Christmas break and would like some suggestions as to what would work best on both of them. The...

Well, this past Saturday I detailed this 2004 Hearse. Man, it was a big job. Funeral home owner just wanted me to wash it, clean the inside :nervous: , and wax it. They keep them pretty clean, so it really wasn't that bad. Other than some crumbs and a spilled coke in the back :chuckle: (j/k)...

I am planning to buy some Boyd Coddington Smoothie IIs and the finish is polished aluminum (too bad they aren't available in chrome). I was wondering what I can do to keep them looking good. My mom has polished wheels on her car and over time they have lost their luster. When they get here what...

I just bought 4* UPP and 4* Paint Cleanser. What type of pads (polish or buff) would I use with these two products on the PC? Thanks!

I just got my '89 Mustang painted Viper red. I was very happy w/ the quality of the paint job. I was looking at the paint in the sun and I saw a good amount of swirls, so the other day I polished it w/ Meguiars Swirl Free Polish and that didn't seem do to a thing! I don't have a cutting pad for...

I'm doing a BMW Z3 tommorow that's going to be in a parade and they just want it waxed. I was thinking of just using NXT wax. Would that be the best one step product to use for black to try to hide the swirls?

This is a stupid question, but where could you get detailing product banners to hang up in the garage. I went to a huge car show this weekend and saw Meguiars and Eagle One banners? Where can you get them? Can you get them? Thanks

I'm going to do a complete detail on my dad's red GMC Sierra in a few days and I was reading Detailing according to Jngrbrdman(great post!). I know I'm going to clay his truck then use a polish to take the swirls out w/ my PC. I was thinking of using #83 DACP. Then puting on about 3 coats of...

Is there a good fragrance that you could spray in your car to make it smell new again. Not like cherry or something the actual smell of a new car. This may be a crazy question, but I'd like some if there is such a thing. Thanks

Here are some pictures of my latest work.

Today I washed a Jaguar S-Type and waxed and detailed an Expedition. I had to do the Jag quick b/c the lady needed it for lunch and I used my PC and Bissell Little Green Machine on the Expedition. I thought the Expedition turned out really good. I finally had me a sign made to put out while...

I use Eagle One Wet Tire Shine on all of my customer's cars I do. It's not the cheapest stuff and doesn't last very long. I absolutely love the way it looks. Does any one know where I can buy it in bulk so it would be a little cheaper or a product that works just as well that ya'll like that...

I was talking to one of my relatives about his '35 Chevy that was being restored at a custom rod shop. He told me that he just got it painted and he started talking to a guy that worked there about wax b/c they were about to wet sand and polish his paint out. He said the guy said not to wax a...

I started this Suburban at about 2:45 and ended at about 7:20. I didn't even wax it or anything. It was filthy on the inside, they have 3 kids but I still don't see how it could have gotten this dirty. Sorry about the pic. it didn't turn out well. The before pic looks like the after pic. but...

I'm 15 years old and I'm detailing cars all this summer. I've been doing it for a while now and when I wax I've always done it by hand. I'm tired of doing that b/c it takes forever and I have a lot of people wanting me to wax their vehicle! I was looking at PC's and I think I'm going to get...

Weekends' Work I got home from school Friday and my dad told me one of our neighbors left me the keys to his wifes' T-Bird and his Lincolin Blackwood. He wanted me to wax them and do everything to them while they were out of town this weekend. Man....those were some nice cars, and while I was...

I've seen pictures of interiors that have the lines on the carpet. I think that looks awesome. Do you have to shampoo the carpet then do the lines w/ the vacuum? Can you just do it w/ the vacuum w/o shampooing? You can barely see it, but like the carpet in the SL500(Great Job Nickc0844)...

I'm 14 years old and I started detailing cars about 2 years ago. This summer i'm going to start doing it all the time vs. just on the weekend. Here are two of the cars i've done. See what you think!
