There're some people I won't charge on basic principle for all they've done for my car. And those that I do charge will get the Zaino treatment that my car gets and what Mike's 5th gen got. Even then, it'll be a reasonable price, depending on the vehicle (trucks, minivans, etc. will be more than a sedan or coupe)

Well, you've started another 'addiction', Ty!
As Hector said, a rolling stool is almost a necessity, IMO. Also a small table of some sort with wheels to hold the polish/wax and MF's. (I got sick of knocking over the bottles when I just set them on the floor)

fine chill in the shade and take pictures of us working on our car. Also maybe you can learn something about Nissan. I know your dad is a a domestic guy so you don't get too much knowledge out of him about NIssan.

I'll bring the camera. I have my lil bro giving my car a mini detail today. I actually had drop me off at work. I was messing witht the Meguiar's 3 step steail, and topped it off with 2 layers of S100. the car feels smooth, looks clean, and it doesn't have the waxy feeling to it. The thing though is that I don't like how my hood looks. If you don't mind I would like to try Zaino on my hood.

Oh so you think you are too good to do with us on the meet day. I see how it is. Enjoy doing it on Sun.
Mr Grey
08-09-2006, 11:09 AM
Waxing or polishing is usually not recommended to be done in the sun. I'm not planning on doing anything more than a suspension swap at the meet.

He's taking my setup. I'm currently riding on H-Techs with GR-2's. I ordered some K-Sports...hopefully they come in before the end of the week. I was told they are made to order. basically every time they order some, then they are made. It will be shipped any where from 7 to 10 business days. I ordered them last Thursday.
Mr.Duck
08-09-2006, 12:13 PM

Speaking of shopping, I ordered up a few cases of Redline stuff for my car. Yeah its that time of the year again where I wanna do all the fluids etc on my car. I dunno if I will do my coolant- already did once this year, cause I plan on doing my water pump when I do my camshafts sometime soon.

I think I've still got 4 bottle of redline gear oil in the garage :lol:
I'm an Amsoil whore and I have tons of the stuff laying about. About 1.5 cases of oil (mostly the p2000 0w30), ten qts of gear oil, and a couple EA filters.

It's a lot easier when you get stuff at cost. But, that comes with having a Meguiar's small business account. :D I have a 30 gallon rolling toolbox that is FULL of waxes, polishes, QD's, QW's, etc., etc.
I used to have a mobile yacht detailing service last year when I lived in Jacksonville, FL. Did a lot of work for a yacht broker, he'd buy a 50' boat for $500,000... have me detail it, NO OTHER WORK DONE TO IT... and sell it EASILY for $650,000.
I miss those days... soaking up the Florida sun... working for 3-4 days and making almost $2K.... *sigh*

I was born and raised here in Bloomington. I'm a chef by trade, detailer by hobby. Last year I took a "working sabatical" from the service industry, and got into detailing professionally. Got certified by Meguiar's twice (one for automotive, one for marine), set up an account with them, and get into detailing fairly heavily. I washed 15-20 boats a week, waxed 8-10, and did full details on 2-4. It got to be WAY too expensive in gas/commuting (average 300 miles/day), and that was back when gas was $3.00+/gal. I was actually *losing* money on all of the wash jobs. And, naturally, when you rack up 65,000 miles in 4 months, the car couldn't keep up. Car blew up, couldn't afford to fix it, got back into the restaurant industry. Did that for another year, got an offer to relocate home, took it, the restaurant went under before I even got there, had to find a new job. Got one, and now I'm looking to move again to downtown Chicago to work at a *real* restaurant.
There. Just summed up my entire last year in one paragraph.
Bought some more shizzle.
Pinnacle Souveran (paste)
10 microfiber applicators
P21S wheel cleaner
Collinite #476
Wool wash mitt
Spring needs to get here soon...

Nice choices, Ty. You're gonna love the Souveran........

I think I'm going to use it on the Rav4. I've found that I prefer my Z5 Pro mix on my Maxima without a Souveran topper. The Collinite will top my Z5 Pro mix on my girlfriend's car the next time I see it.
