    Great one dollar microfiber cloths!

    Thanks to HappyWax's suggestion, I went to dollar tree today and found some great microfiber cloths! I got 2 of the nice ones (they feel like basketball shorts material) and 3 waffle weaves. Very very cool find, and this would be a great kit for cleaning windows. I also got several...

    applying/buffing wax with a pad attached to a drill?

    I don't know whether this is a good idea or not, but let me explain what my question is. When I go to a client's house to wash their cars, I wax their vehicles (its included in the pricing). I apply the wax by hand and apply/spread it with a pad. I then buff it off with a dedicated microfiber...

    Environmental whackjobs and vicious dogs capped a great car wash

    Hey guys, you will literally not believe what happened to me during a car wash I was doing for a first time client. I first arrived at the place. It's in suburbia, nice lawns etc. I notice that the neighbor's house has all these solar panels and like four recycle bins outside, it was pretty...

    Used regular auto soap like ONR and got good results!

    Hey everyone, I am ordering the 32 oz. size of ONR, so don't flame me for what I am saying next. Yesterday, I was detailing a customer's black Nissan x-terra SUV. I was going to use a traditional wash, but I thought to myself, I'll try the 2 bucket method but ONR style and maybe save some...

    What was the nicest vehicle you ever washed?

    I washed a beautiful tan infiniti g35 today *drool* Even though I charge a low price, she (the owner) always tips me well, because I am so anal about making sure her car is in pristine shape. Even when I switch over to waterless, I am still going to wash her car normally. I am sorry to...

    making your own waterless formula spray

    Hey everyone, I am looking to make my mobile detailing business a waterless oriented one because: 1) I am a college student, and this is not a full time gig 2) I used to take an hour and a half to wash someone's car and at a horrible price (for me)... brace yourself... $20 So because...

    Am I charging too low of a price? $18?

    I know what the whole thing is about appearing to be cheap and attracting cheap customers. The problem is, I am starting to clean cars for my religious community and they do not make so much money. They do need car washes at least once a month so I am hired to go to their places. I do a...
