This blog goes out to everyone who prefers two wheels over four. i know detail your motorcycle may seem like a scary thing but do not be afraid its a lot easier then you think. I know you probably have a lot of questions and i am here to answer them for you. the first thing everyone is afraid of is just wetting their motorcycle. YES it is totally fine wetting your bike in fact bikes are meant to be water resistant. i am not saying you should soak your bike but using a controlled amount of water will be alright. when detailing your motorcycle the formula is exactly the same as a car. so to start go ahead and was off the bike. this will remove large debris and other contaminates. next you would want to address any scuffs by prepping the are and polishing it. then lastly add your protectants. add your waxes, glazes and sealants. Now you are all done. wasn't as hard as you thought huh. now your bike can shine even more then before.

Easily the biggest thing to happen to the auto detailing community would the steam cleaner. the steam cleaner is the most versatile tool any detailer could have. You can use this tool on any part of the car from the paint to the seats. Not only does it clean but it is also safe only using the power of heat. Its easy to use for everybody from the experienced pro to the newby. Get a steamer today you will be glad you did so.
Its finally happen. you split you but none of that is necessary. t some coffee, your kids messed up your seats and dog hair is everywhere. what do you do? its time to shampoo your interior. cleaning your interior can seem scary but relax its easier then it looks. ideally you want to have a steamer an extractor and premium microfiber towels with you but you need none of that. if you do not want to spend all that money on expensive equipment this is all you need... some terry towels, your choice of any all purpose cleaner and a brush. the steps are simple first spray your all purpose cleaner on the upholstery that is stained or dirty. the next step would be to scrub the seat with your brush and lastly use your towel to mop up the mess. if the stain is still there you repeat the process until you get your desire results. be careful not to soak your seats as too much cleaner will get stuck in the cushions. please keep in mind that some stains may have sit too long to to remove completely but the results will be much better then before. now go and try it at home and be a professional detailer.
Many of you have a passion for detailing but why waste such a passion when you can be making money off of it! Here ill give you my list of the things to buy and services to offer to start your detailing journey. When i first started i drove a Mazda miata and carried a small card board box with a Walmart buffer and a handful of chemicals. Surprisingly people came and we got business. The amazing thing about detailing is since it is a laborious job it cant be replaced. Just like how theirs carpenters, plumbers and other experts people will seek your expertise. So its simple, be a expert in one thing and people will ask for your expertise. Now as far as thing you need to start i would recommend something as simple as some soap, a bucket, wash mit and some paste wax. Offer a waxing service for cheap and grow our following slowly. i hope this gave you some ideas of how you want to start your detailing empire!
As many of you know cleaning the inside can be a pain. There are so many thing to take into consideration when cleaning the interior of your vehicle. How do i clean the cup holders? Am i using the right chemicals? do i need to shampoo the carpets? Well here is the cold hard truth. ITS NOT THAT HARD.You can get professional level results with very few tools and chemicals. Sure it might take longer and the results wot be as good but a clean car says a lot about a person. With just a tooth brush, vacuum, microfiber towels, some all purpose cleaner you can find under your sink and a simple plastic dressing from Walmart your can receive phenomenal results. Generally when i start a detail i do a light vacuum and remove all carpets. next i would scrub down all interior trim with that toothbrush. Keep in mind you should mop up all the nasty all purpose cleaner as you go. Next go to town on those mats, if you have carpet mats that a section i will go over a separate time. Then with a clean microfiber spread your trim dressing over all plastic trim one section at a time. Once its all done give it one more thorough vacuum and your done. You got your self a clean car. Remember the results you get might not be as good if you had special tools like detail brushes and a steamer but your car will feel revived again.
