Hi Everyone, Been awhile since my last post (Been crazy busy with weddings, family functions, getting engaged, wedding planning, etc...). Anyway, my fiance just bought a 2006 Audi A4 which is in great shape (Needs a little TLC from me, but we can get to that later) for the most part. Of...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I will post pics later, but this past weekend I finally started my weekend warrior detailing season (Better late than never) on my GF's dad's 04 TL Nighthawk black pearl (What a great color)! Background: 04 TL...

I don't know how many of you have a HARMON Drug Store near you, but there are a few on LI. I am sure other drug stores have the same thing. They were (3) 4oz bottles in a pack for $3. They are supposedly for holding shampoo etc when traveling (I guess it's one of the better side effects of...

Just some shots I took that I figured I would share. For anyone who hasn't been to NYC to see the tree at Rockefeller Center, the snow show on Saks, and all that other sappy stuff....here are a few pics. I had a video of teh SAKS show but it was taking forever to upload onto photobucket. I will...

Well, I decided Saturday was the day. I finally pulled it in! It was a tight squeeze, but it was good. I got her a lil wet first, then proceeded to rub her all over. Of course I used protection as it was my first time. I sure did need alot of lubrication. I couldn't believe how well the ONR...

A few months back someone posted a question about these certain marks on their car after polishing/waxing(I searched and couldn't find it). I believe he posted pics and upon seeing them I was almost excited because I constantly got the same marks on my car after detailing and couldn't figure out...

Not the best before and afters for depicting the polishing. After looking at it more yesterday, I should have gone more aggressive, but I figured that could wait for the spring since all I want to do now is build a layer of protection for the winter. Yeah I know I'm not the best...

A vendor of mine bought a hooptie for when she is home (IE not living in Manhattan). She picked up a mid-late 90's grand prix that was a former station car (Read: Never washed and about 50lbs of rail dust). Well, my brain filter wasn't working and before I knew it, I offered to detail her car...

This has to be the HOTTEST taxi cab in Manhattan! Sorry for the blurry pic, I was trying to get to my train and take a pic at the same time!

Okay, so what do you get the dade that has everything or if he doesn't, he buys it himelf??? You guessed it, a free detail! I decided to do the exterior for my old man for father's day on his 2004 Black Expedition. Sits outside 24/7, sees tunnel car washes often, parked in Queens all day for...

I couldn't find the click and unbrag section so I figured I would post it here. I apologize in advance for nottaking the same photos before/after...I think I have 1 set. It was my first time using Menzerna which I really liked except the dusting...pretty friggin bad dusting. I started another...

Background: Saturday I polished my sister's black 2006 Subaru Impreza. Apparently she ordered the dealer SWIRL & SCRATCH option. The car only has 200 miles on it as she can't legally drive for another month (only to and from work until then). I wanted to test my new detailing supplies from...

I am trying to find somewhere that has propel pads in stock. The few sites I found that carried propel all have I believe the lighter cut ones out of stock. Also looking for the best place to buy some unigrit so I can 86 a long scratch that will require touch up paint. I don't really need...

I was at the detailer that sponsors my car club over the weekend (same place that got me hooked on the cyclo) and they had new backing plates for the cyclo. I have never seen them before but they were traditional backing plates (I'm guess 3.5") red plastic material and considerably flatter then...

I tried searching and couldn't find exactly what I was looking for. To be honest, the more I read this site, the more confused I get especially since before checking this site out, I thought I had a good idea of what I was doing. Anyway, like most of you guys out there, I have tried an array...
