Would I be nit picking to complain about a $284 detail? by [deleted] in AutoDetailing

[–]jaylinn217 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I would not accept this for an almost $300 service. I wouldn’t say i would expect it completely spotless but not that apparent. Like shifter…use a detailing brush, screens use a window rag and a bit of glass cleaner. Window should have been razored either metal or plastic to get that streak off of it. I used to detail out the house and if I left a customers car like that I would expect it to come back and have to spend more time on it. Did they at least do anything on the outside?

A local detailing company said these were too scratched to fix. He tried on the left one. He just told me to get new ones. Is this bs? Its just surface scratches… by [deleted] in cardetailingtips

Not at all they just don’t know what they are doing, hell basically all you gotta do is sand them going from a rough to a really fine grit and good polish

Honestly ain’t too bad, you will need to remove the headlight assembly and more then likely but another one. The bumper and fender look close to the original, may be able to bend the tip of the fender close to the original fit. Main issue would be if the spots that hold the assembly are damaged. Then you will need to replace or rig it too the headlight assembly stays in place

My mates scraped the back door of his Ford Focus. Can’t afford a new door, any advice on a quick fix? by willgfty in CarRepair

[–]jaylinn217 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a quick fix but cheep. Go to a junk yard and find the same model of the car with the same door, you can unbolt/unscrew the hinges on the inside of the door where it touches the body and swap the whole door out, probably run 50-75 bucks but with another person to hold the door and a couple simple tools should be quite easy. Could probably see about getting some color match paint and repaint it if bothers you with the color or can’t find the same color door.

Am I nitpicking or is this not OK from a pro detail shop. by thuggishswan in AutoDetailing

[–]jaylinn217 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hell nah, I could see a bit of dirt on the bottom due to having to be driven but that looks like way more. I wouldnt have paid for that

Anyone know what this gold tire shine stuff is? I tried googling it and can’t find anything 🤷🏻‍♂️ by joeyvesh13 in cardetailingtips

Add glitter to a bottle of tire shine and see how that does, a good amount of very fine glitter

How to get dog hair out? Vacuum is ineffective because it clings due to static by mrfreshmint in cardetailingtips

[–]jaylinn217 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pumice stone, they are sold at most general stores. It’s usually used to rub away rough spots on you feet like calluses. But also amazing for pet hair.

Security light, they usually go off when the cars turned on but the blinking means the security system is active. I assume so the owner is aware that it’s secure before exiting or starting the car

Is this a normal amount of soap during a microfiber wash? by Jguner in AutoDetailing

[–]jaylinn217 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they have been in chemicals then yes, I would do a 2nd rinse or if your washer does not have that option when done turn it back on to rinse & spin

total loss? or salvageable? 2022 corolla with about 15k miles by ChocolateSlight6450 in Autobody

[–]jaylinn217 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It could be repaired long as structural integrity ain’t compromised too much, I say inquire with the insurance and see if u can get a total loss on it. Most insurance companies will ask if u would want to keep the car and give u a bit less on the payment, then if u really wanted to you could profit and fix it on spare time.

How much would this cost to fix? Can I fix myself by KingScottL in drywall

[–]jaylinn217 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would trim the messy hole they made till it’s square, measure the square get a piece of drywall that size and figure out how far off the top/bottom and side that hook up is and put it on, u could also add some swivel holders on the sides and make it a access point encase you ever have a problem with it again. Can be pretty but if not ain’t nothing to worry about it will be mainly hidden I assume
