Detailing , I do it all.

I am a professional detailer , certified at 10 years expirience in 3 years of the profession. I do new vehicle fallout removals (the very best way possible) I made step by step documents on how to power polish better and more proper than any body shop can. I find that auto body tecs have very little time to make coin and rush damn near every job they get. I am yet to see a true quality body shop other than the one I played at in a museum. I have extensive product knowledge through several different franchises and was involved in some product developement. I take calls from other detailing shops on a much regular basis on do's and donts for product applications and trouble shooting methods. If you have any questions dont hesitate asking the guy with all the answers.

Re: Detailing , I do it all.

Well , you get involved through a franchise that handles applicable warranties , they teach you to use there products and tecniques of the trade. I work for ford , so when I got 100% C.S.I.Ford made me a quallity certified detailer blue oval gold.
There are work shops and training courses one can take to learn as well through some colleges and body shops.

Re: Detailing , I do it all.

Theres courses in claifornia that are world renowned for painting tecniques ill try to dig that info up for you. A good idea for you would be to try as many aspects of the buisness as you can. Example , Take a museum quality resoration course , the hands on training your attaining now , then specialty training like the one ill try to find for you. In the mean time you can play with a junker and experiment on it you might come up with something new. I have been incorporating enamel and laquers to my factory paint , I almost the got the bugs worked out. I will even attempt air brushing with spray paint(please dont pick on me).
If you get into paint guages you may be able to figure out on your own how to butt paint. But before you get into the painting aspect think about how important metal finish repair is. Ill get back to you as soon as I find that course name and location.

Re: Detailing , I do it all.

Mark, what do you mean airbrushing with spray paint? Spraying the paint out of the can into a jar then airbrushing it? Its been done many times in the modeling world.

Re: Detailing , I do it all.

You need a product that disolves the fallout and rail dust. If your in an industrial area the pollution that builds up on the paint is called fallout that pollution exsists at the car plants too and gets on the paint before its aged then they ship the cars on trains. The trains wheels and the rail make friction and small iron deposits shoot off and stick to the paint on the cars. I use acid sollutions then nuetralize the solution with a ph balanced soap. The product I use is available in the US and is called Future Wash.
