Been detailing for a long time (20+ years) - professionally for about 4 years. I'm so tired of car washers calling themselves detailers- note: there is nothing wrong with being a car washer. But if that's all you do then don't call yourself a detailer!! Case in point- I got called for an...

I'm doing a wash/polish/wax + wheels, tires, trim/chrome. And full interior on the tractor part of a Semi. Any advice on how to do it quickly? This is the biggest detail I've ever tackled.

I'm trying to figure out where I am vs where I need to be with my processes. I recently started subcontracting for a company in Tampa- I'm in Jax. They are saying a full detail, which includes: wash, clay, polish, wax/seal, wheels, tires, barrels, trim and glass, inside and out, carpet...

So my 3401 died after 2.5 years and over 120 details..... I had a Rupes 15E and it died after probably 30 details. I have a PE-14 rotary for my heavy duty jobs but I'd like to have a good DA for my regular jobs. Is the Rupes 21 worth the extra $20? Right now the 3401 is $299 @ AG (which is a...

I seem to go through cars at the cyclic rate. It got me wondering, how many cars have you owned so far in your life?

So I've done 2 of 3 details so far this weekend. First detail is on a Black 370Z - typical swirls and scratches but those water marks/etchings were a different story. So I'm going through my usual process for test spots after washing and claying and my LHR 15 stops in the middle of it's second...

I'm still over here in Japan but my friend in Myrtle Beach SC has my Audi - she just picked it up from my ex GF and its thrashed on the interior. Ink, crayon and food stains on the leather and on the door panels. Cat piss on the carpet. A real mess. I'm not really worried about exterior but I...

I've been a pro detailer for a while now but I've never used a rotary. I have a Flex 3401 that I'm very happy with and get great results. How much of a leap is there between the Flex and say a DeWalt DWP849X? I have great technique so that's not an issue. Is it just a matter of keeping great...

My 19 yr old Step-Son is considering joining the military and was wondering what his best options are. Of course I was able to give him the skinny on the Corps but I told him he needed to keep his options open. Are there any current signing bonus's for specific occfields for example? Not sure...

Figured I'd ping the forum to see what some members may have experienced with these vehicles. I'm leaning towards the Escalade but will consider the Gator for the right deal. I'm looking at 02-06 models. This would truly be a utility vehicle- with a catch. I'll be using it for my detailing...

Jas's homebrew wax made me think of the DoDo wax kit. Has anybody tried this? I've heard great things about DoDo products in general but haven't seen any feedback from detailers or enthusiasts on this particular product. Dodo Juice Home Brew Wax Kit, wax making kit, car wax...
