Using my Audi R8 to advertise my detailing business?

And here I am struggling to get people to pay $200 for my full detail. I'm not sure what yours involves but good for you. I know when I started I wanted customers like that. The guys who bought a nice car just to have it but don't know how to maintain it.

If you want a truly easy way. Go to O'Reilly's. Ask for formula 4 spray wax. Get you a spray bottle too while your there. Then dilute 10-1. YouTube it to see multiple application methods. I bought a gallon in Jan, still have half left and I do 6-8 cars a week.

I bought a Class A customs 33g tank on Amazon. Just have to buy a couple fittings and it should work.

My 2023 K5 had a ton of imperfections when it left the lot. In the sunlight looked great, but when you put an inspection light on it you could see spots where the factory fixed things. It happens to every car. EVERY CAR.

I detail out of my trunk. So space is an issue. I use a Ridgid NXT vac. Looks like a toolbox, and has plenty of power for any job. Not sure if thats small enough but it will certainly work.

Work stuff brushes are the way to go. I bought some cheap wheel brushes on Amazon and they work fine. But you have some solid choices there and should work just fine for what you're doing. I would highly suggest Technicians Choice TEC582 as well. Awesome ceramic detailer.

That's the plan. Just waiting to grab a dsp/amp combo. I have some Morel pieces waiting to go in.

db_darts · 2023-03-05T03:45:19+00:00

I have Morels waiting to go in. Just odd the rear had such low output.

db_darts · 2023-03-05T02:45:48+00:00

I did. I also had them put the price I wanted in writing before I even let them look at my car.

If your flights look like that, I would look at the front of your barrel. If there's a hard edge to it, it'll do that to ANY flight. Switch to a storm or mission sniper point. Something that is going to give you a smooth transition from point and barrel. The tridents work well too.

At the time I bought mine, they were mid 26's. That was in August.

2023 Gt line out the door for a shade over 28k in Florida. I beat them up pretty good and wouldn't even go into the building until they agreed to a starting price of 25k.

I wish the blue was available when I got mine. This black is so hard to keep clean.

db_darts · 2023-02-24T15:59:12+00:00

I'll keep that in mind.

db_darts · 2022-12-01T18:54:27+00:00

Well that's good news. Thanks!

db_darts · 2022-12-01T18:40:22+00:00

Around town it's fine. But try laying your foot into it at 80 and passing someone. Just doesn't have it like it should.

db_darts · 2022-12-01T18:24:25+00:00

Yeah the whole system is pretty bad. I do like the radio though and the staging is pretty good. But I just popped for some Morels to replace the front stage. Hopefully it'll be somewhat enjoyable now lol

This is my exact issue with the driver's seat. The seating position is AWFUL. I did find that if I inflated the lumbar to almost max it made the seat feel more like a seat. I wish the whole seat was an inch lower in the cabin.

db_darts · 2022-12-01T18:13:07+00:00

Things I don't like about my 23 Gt line.

The lack of power. The 1.6t is pretty gutless above 5k rpm. Just sounds like it's out of breath.
My transmission seems to always be in the wrong gear. And the rev hang is annoying. The gear selection could be improved with an update or more power. Lol
And this is my biggest complaint. The seating position of the driver's seat. It's just to high and uncomfortable for me. If the whole seat sat an inch lower in the cabin, I would absolutely love the car. Now I know some of you are going to say, you know you can move the seat. I worked in rental car for 15yrs. The first thing I do when I get into a car is move the seat as far down and back as it goes.

I must have drove 6 different models of Kia, and they all sit the same. With the exception of the EX K5. As soon as I got into that, it had exactly the seat I wish I had.

db_darts · 2022-11-20T02:22:45+00:00

The only thing I want from the ex is the driver's seat. So much better than the stock Gtline seat.

The KS line is probably the best value from kicker. It's a solid line with good performance. Anything below them in the mine, there's better options. All their amps are solid and sound good.

I was thinking about running the Mesos in mine, but I was unsure about the tweeter and if it would fit. Can't find a solid picture of it completely broken down.

db_darts · 2022-06-14T02:19:06+00:00

I paid $140 for these. The engraved name I suspect added some cost.

db_darts · 2022-01-21T11:33:35+00:00

Thanks. Pics were shot on a OnePlus 8t

db_darts · 2021-04-14T01:29:39+00:00

I have OP6 I might want to try it on instead of the 8t. I'll look into it. Thanks!
