It seems things are changing at Detail City. Am I correct in stating that we are not allowed to post pictures of cars we work on that we do not own?

I found these today. These were taken the day my previous Saab went back on lease. This car went to the swirl chamber car wash once per week and was NEVER waxed or polished. I also NEVER dressed the interior. I owned this car for 30 months and drove it 30,000 miles. This was parked DAILY in...

I havent polished this car in about 7 weeks. I have been wiping it with 425 and Spray & Wipe after each rain here in New York. I think it looks good considering the conditions. Ill go over it with Menzerna FPII and Z5pro / NAtty's blue in a few weeks. I have a busy summer this year. This is...

Leaving for the race in a few hours, anyone else going?

This happened to me this morning, I told a guy in my office and he thought this should be a scene in a movie. Proud moron that I am, I call my wife to tell her of my recent accomplishment. She says, “You are such a child, what makes you tick?” It’s 6:10am: I am outside putting my garbage to...

Is this a swirl manufacturing plant or a deatailing tool?

Are those with foam guns noticing less paint marring since they started using them?

Anyone going to the F1 race in June? I just booked my trip and tickets. Should be an awesome show. I am in section 10. I didnt know anyone for pit passes, but if anyone here does, I am buying.

Is there any difference in construction or material between the DA pads and the rotary pads? I'd like to use my 6" Edge 2000 waffle on my rotary this weekend.

Since my wife's car was tolen, we borrowed a car form her parents for a few weeks so she can get to the train. Thses are the results of my happy Saturday. She took this (my only car now) to get her haircut My boy watching me clean the car we borrowed The results What I did to the...

Tonight at a communion, while drunk with my wife, I funded the detail garage. We will open profit or not in July 2006. Win or lose, the plan is in place. Maybe we will schedule "guest appearances" from the detailers on this site? The store will be called "The Joy of Detailing".

Please review and comment. This is my my process for this season. I am sure it will change as do the tides.
