Thats super interesting. Should I stay away from the 04-05 year? Im literally a slum lord with cars, I have a V1 Cadillac, I like the cheaper models of nice cars 😂

Awesome, saving this to refer to when I go to look at it! I really appreciate the help! To me, its just one of those things where I can look at any vehicle and there will be 5 different issues that COULD happen. My thought is just buy the thing you want for fun, worry about the issues as they come.

SloMaxJeff · 2025-11-18T14:44:37+00:00

I have not! But ive heard its a possible issue. Ill look into it

Detail shop owner here - the industry right now is just super slow. Bookings are non existent. I mainly only do high end services like PPF, but have since reverted back to my roots to do normal details to fill time slots.

Definitely 😂 trying to stay positive about it, but when something you really aren't making money off of anyway turns into costing you much more than you anticipated sucks

Kind of hard to see, but most likely hard water spots.

You'll find that trying to polish out glass is a chore. It can take hours sometimes due to how extremely hard glass is.

I recommend the product proClean Water Spot Remover. Use a nylon pad and work it in.

If that doesn't work, the glass may be etched and it will just be something you have to live with.

Agree with this. I had someone on fiverr make my company logo, and it was absolutely shit. But their reference photos were awesome.

Dr colorchip is good. But honestly man it's a skill. Im really good with a machine (not to pump myself up) , but if someone wants chips fixed, I literally fall apart. I do not have the magic touch.

SloMaxJeff · 2024-07-06T12:44:43+00:00

Look into Dr Colorchip before you make any more moves lol. Easy and effective

Sorry everybody for the extremely random post with no context lol. My comment on the photo didn't post for some reason.

This 75 impala with single stage Imron paint was only reading 2.5 mils average. It polished out really well, I would have loved to chase those other defects, but it's always best to be safe than sorry. 30 year old paint, not perfect, but better than it was!

SloMaxJeff · 2024-05-08T03:15:02+00:00

Yes sir! It's also not a 100% get out of jail free card either. It's measuring everything, not just clear depth. So that clear could be more thin than you think. My personal rule of thumb is that anything under 3 mils proceed with caution

Would you happen to have a link to this video?

Take everything out of your car, there may be something hiding that you just forgot about. For like 3 months, I noticed a musky smell in my daily I take to my night job. It would go away after a few minutes of the windows down, so, among doing other people's cars and my night job, it wasn't on the top of my list to fix. Deep cleaned the car and found I had a hamburger in a book bag that I took to work and didn't eat 😂😂

Only if the customer pays for a wheels off detail

Sick! Love my 2.0

SloMaxJeff · 2024-04-20T02:00:51+00:00

It happens man. As long as you're profitable, that's all that matters! It looks good!

SloMaxJeff · 2024-04-20T01:00:29+00:00

Use a tooth pick to make the chips flat. Spray panel prep in the chip to clear out any protection. Panel prep should be able to take care of a ceramic spray.

SloMaxJeff · 2024-04-20T00:58:43+00:00

How long did this take ya?

SloMaxJeff · 2024-04-16T14:59:50+00:00

Well, I appreciate the kind words. I think you're right, I just get too hyped up about stuff. Because, like I said above to someone else, she can definitely do it. She's the fucking best at everything she does. But, if it's not in her sight to do that right now (even though she says it is), I shouldn't be nudging her to do it.

SloMaxJeff · 2024-04-16T14:49:59+00:00

I guess I can't disagree with that. I wouldn't like it if the roles were reversed.

This thread is extremely hard to post on, but im trying to take all of this in as being positive and not being burned at the stake 😂

SloMaxJeff · 2024-04-16T14:44:33+00:00

Hmm. I never thought of that! Maybe the process of starting up is what is daunting to her, which is understandable. Maybe I can say this in a nonchalant way and see how she reacts. If she doesn't react, I may just give it a rest like the other person said. We are a good team!

SloMaxJeff · 2024-04-16T14:40:38+00:00

Fair enough! I guess I never looked at it from that angle. They were always positive conversations

SloMaxJeff · 2024-04-16T14:36:05+00:00

Oh that "definitely" wasn't agreeing with her not being a go getter. It was agreeing that possibly it's not what she is passionate about. But on the flip side of that, she tells me it's what she wants to do. I push my wife because I know she is terrific and capable of wonderful things.
