I prefer alone because I will end up starting to just talk to much and it seems that when I talk, my hands quite working, LOL.

Re: Do You Like Detailing With Others?

I've been detailing since 1965, and I've always loved woking with younger guys and picking up new techniques. I owned a detail production shop for about seven years back in the 70's, and I've watched automotive paint change quite a bit over the years. The day you think you know it all, a new product, a new method, a new paint process, or even a new type of buffer will ultimately come out that you don't know a damn thing about! You either keep up or fall behind, and I've always preferred to keep up. It's still a fun thing to me after all these years, and it's still a challenge. I recently attended one of Mike Phillips' classes and picked up a few new things that I've already incorporated into my detailing. "So you see, you can still teach an old dog new tricks!"

Peace,

Chief

To me, detailing is a private thing. I find it relaxing and satisfying.

My friends or family have never really shared my passion, so I prefer to just do it alone.

Alone for me.

Re: Do You Like Detailing With Others?

I must say I like detailing by myself. If there is someone else there, I can't have that special bonding time with my precious car, and every loving man loves spending some quality time with his baby. (Yes hun, of course I'm talking about you...)

Re: Do You Like Detailing With Others?

Yes, and no for me. I really like detailing with friends, but also like having that satisfaction of knowing I did it all myself

On my car, never. I dont trust people and I get way to immersed in it, and I like it that way. Its cool though to have a buddy do his car at the same time. Back when I had a 350Z the apartments I was in had a free 2 bay car wash station (spray only!) and we were always in there with some cold ones, it was a good time.

I perfer to work alone, unless I had a clone of myself.... Or another OCD detailer to do carpets and engine bays would be fine.

Re: Do You Like Detailing With Others?

If I could find someone that I could trust to work on a car then I would love some help. Short of someone from here or Autopia I would not allow it. I cannot guarantee the quality of my work if it is not all my own. Besides, it takes only one mistake to ruin a hard day's work detailing.

If I knew someone that wanted to help and had the experience I do, maybe, but then I would have to share the profits =]

Re: Do You Like Detailing With Others?

I generally prefer working by myself at my own pace. If I work with someone, it has to be a person that I personally have trained and who I know will do the job the way I show them to do it.

Re: Do You Like Detailing With Others?

I don't mind detailing with others as long as they're working on their car and I'm working on mine! This way I can tell them what they're doing wrong!
