Mid Suffolk County!

Very cool, there's a dealer out in that area I believe. They go by the name detailgiant on instagram and they've got solid deals.

Welcome Brian I'm from Queens what part of LI you from

I was going to say the exact same thing...

I AM NOT A PRO DETAILER, I DONT EVEN DETAIL FOR PROFIT:\

My 2 cents is this, depending on where you see your clientele trending, I would go that direction. If your clients are bringing you higher end cars for detailing, maybe it's worth going into PPF, if not perhaps wait it out til you build a bigger clientele and then proceed. Not that all cars that get PPF are high end but most regular car owners probably won't go more than a clear bra to the front end.

If your clients are bringing you high end luxury cars every day then perhaps it's worth looking into expanding your service offerings. Logically a customer who buys a brand new $25K car isn't going to have the money to shell out another $5K for a PPF wrap. (I say $5K based on what I've seen some companies charge, again **NOT SURE**). 

I think if you're interested in expanding, start small: start doing partial wraps, i.e. mirrors, high risk areas (for paint chips), then depending on the business move further. 

Although training won't be cheap and neither will materials (as you stated) so I'd make sure you're in the market for it before you jump in...although I've seen your work and it's fantastic so I'm sure you guys would be solid 

What if steam is not an option, as this person is in a different state, IDK what detailers in the area are proficient

Hey guys, so someone I know messaged me today asking how to remove pen marks from the inside of a mini-vans leather door panels. While I do have leather and interior cleaner, I don't have leather in my car, so I don't know if it would work, does anyone have any experience removing pen marks from leather. I initially suggested Leather and Interior Cleaner or APC but then reneged on the APC as it might dry the leather out...any help

Much respect to Adam on the humility, what a great guy, one of the main reasons I'll always love this company

No cost? That's definitely very interesting

EDIT:

Also mad props for that it sounds very cool; that's probably how all the big clinics started

I hope they are wrong I been in my house for three weeks fell on the ice on my driveway and slightly fractured my hip and banged up my shoulder had to use a walker to get around just started to walk on my own it will probably be two more weeks till I’m fully recovered 

FEel better Bob, praying for a speedy recovery. Especially since thank God the weather is changing

I thought there was some orange peel then I realized I was looking at the diamond plate...This is literally goals...Great job

interior detail spray is good, I usually do H2OGG and then if I want to put wax on after a wash, other than that unfortunately my shine skills aren't great

The only issue is that clay barring can sometimes lead to marring so I would just take a look around and double check. In terms of the protection layering is a great idea.  Although I have heard some layering procedures aren't great

I had a problem with my nozzle not releasing back to the original position and when I contacted my Adam's dealer he got it changed out easily

can you try the odor neutralizer bag?

Welcome to the forums. Sorry about all the money you'll be spending, especially living in the same state as Adam's HQ

My mouth dropped when I saw your car, welcome to the forum

Welcome to the forums, it's good to see that white cars can still pop

I hope so, I really am not too big a fan of the mystery buckets, but I'd love the look of a clear bucket

Gotta be honest, that's a novel idea, great creativity

When you get this products use down to a T it's amazing. Honestly I have a friend who uses mostly other products but I lent him some H2OGG to try and he couldn't stop raving

I was just washing my towels yesterday and saw this towel and was oging to post about where I'd be able to get more...That towel is so versatile I love it

Congrats on the car!!! you said the paint is perfect and now you want to perfect it...I'm confused lol. Is it swirled out, or is the paint marred. Is it coated?

So here it is Christmas Eve, I was going to come up with some cheesy poetry but way to much going on around here to get a poetry groove going. So plan and simple here it is. 

 

Its been a good year for me overall and Im deciding to share that with several more folks. 

In the spirit of the holidays I am opting to donate some products to some of my fine detail hobbyists. 

The following are available for you, I am not capping a limit but just asking for everyone to take what you will use. 

16oz Bottles:

3 Glass Cleaner

2 Blue Shampoo 

1 Leather and Interior Cleaner 

1 Old Formula Buttery Wax 

 

And for the first "geek" that names a sequence that was used somewhere in this post I have a Gallon of Detail Spray. 

 

So there it is some holiday cheer passed along from one to another! Keep the spirit going all year. 

thanks for the gift got it the other day, greatly appreciated

Well this all happened yesterday but now that I’m finally home again after 3 months, we went and got the wifey a new car. I’ve never been a GM fan but damn she looked too good in the Camaro to pass it up, so here she is. Breyanna names her Hydra. It’s a 2018 2.0L turbo, plenty for her and honestly for me as well. With the paddle shifters this thing will pull you back in the seat.. pretty insane really out of such a small engine.

 

 

Congrats on the new car she's quite the looker..

I agree with Rich.  The Revive isn't a true abrasive polish, so there's no benefit to machine application.  It's more of a "chemical correction." If you want to machine polish, there's plenty of polishes designed for that purpose.  I don't think you're going to gain anything with Revive and machine application.

Is it actually chemical correction
