    So, those of us who are not doing this for a living, have you done your first full on detail of the season yet? I have kept up all winter because I have a warehouse, but this Sunday I will be going in and doing the full detail. Polishing, correcting, etc. I am really excited about spending some time behind the buffer again.

    Nothing so far this season, both cars are still looking OK but the Explorer could use a light polish...

    I washed our cars this past weekend and put a quick coat of optimum spray wax on them. Probably won't due a full fledged detail until it gets a bit warmer here

    I have three cars in April, I've done two details on friends' car last fall, one on my own, some practice on panels from body shop. Im traveling to MD with all my stuff in NJ. I took a week vacation just for this and chill with a few friends. Detailing cars is fun to me, my other job is a Audi technician, so im a car guy all the way.

    Emile Welcome to Detailing

    I recently re-did my protection, but I'm proud to say that I was maniacal throughout this whole winter about weekly washings (wheels outside, ONR inside). Unfortunately, all that washing has taken its toll on my paint and my car could use at least a one-step.

    I would like a week off from work to do a full polish, as well as a nice spring cleaning (under-carriage wash, wheel removal, engine cleanup, etc.). You guys seem to work extremely fast, it takes me so much time just to do a one-step polish on my car....that and I really hate polishing.

    I hear ya buddy ... My car needs a 1-step, interior detail, and engine compartment cleanup. My wife needs a 1-step on the hood and a 2-step on the roof.

    I can't find the time to dedicate an entire weekend to do a detail on my cars. It breaks my heart spending all that time on car when I barely see my daughter during the week. I love detailing, but family is first. I can get away with doing a quick detail for a few bucks, but I spend so much time cleaning a vehicle, sometimes it's not even worth it.

    I am quoting a 4-door black jeep on Monday. I've seen the outside and I'm in for a treat. There are plenty of scratches but I think the owner just wants a good cleanup in and out, so I'm going with poli-seal on this one. The jeep has aluminum rims that haven't been cleaned in two years. I'm expecting to spend 2-3 hrs on those only ...:yikes:
