So, where do you stand when it comes to detailing?

Why and What I detail

I detail my own cars, my wife loves it. Also do some of my families cars as well as friends of the family. There is something about a 73 year old retired pastor who means a lot to me marveling at his gleaming Saturn. Also my daughters now expect it...

A hobby I enjoy completely.

Mostly my own, but last fall I started doing others vehicles on weekends. So, hopefully I will be doing others starting this spring.

Once I get some sort of DA polisher/buffer I am going to tackle my brother's 89 Vette and associated swirls. Until then, it's just detailing my car and washing my mother's.

I detail my own car within an inch of its life, and I also do side work (weather permitting) on coworkers cars, family and referrals.

I personally believe that the introduction of detailing clay is the best thing to happen to auto detailing in the last 20 years.

I definitely agree. The next best thing in the last 20 years is microfiber towels.

Back to the topic. I've had my own mobile detailing business 11 years full time come April.

I do my own as well as the wifes, but with all the products I've invested in, I will start doing detailing on the weekends for some side work this summer.

It's therapy for me as well and a stress reliever as well as giving me the feeling of satisfaction when I stand back and look at it when I am done.

I purchased a new car last year and I wanted to learn how to take care of my new investment, so I searched the internet and found a few good places to learn the art of detailing. Then a friend of mine told me about this Meguiars forum and it was like hitting the jack pot in Las Vegas for auto detailing. I had the great pleasure and fortune to attend the Mike Phillips car clinic recently at their corporate hedquarters and spent the day learning how to do it right. Thanks again Mike!!! I now enjoy detailing my wifes car and my truck and after a few more practice cars of my family and friends I think I might try to drum up some extra weekend money.

It's a side business with me, but I've been tempted to do it full time.

I get a lot of raves about my work, but I can see where I need to refine my craft a little more each day in order to make it full time.

My speed is not the greatest in the world, but it's improved a little.

Congrats! That is a lot of posts! I am not as active in anyother forum either, none are as fun.

Detailing is a side business for me. Being in school, the flexibility makes it perfect. Not to mention the perks of being able to work on some amazing automobiles.

Just do my own...
