    The spring detailing bug strikes!

    I was out today and happened across this beauty, the Makita 9227C, I couldn't help but add it to my collection. Now I am set with a PC and Makita 9227C. Where is the best place to order pads for these two machines? I need to get set up for some correction work coming up. Thanks in advance.

    Recently Started in the Business - How am I doing?

    I recently started a detailing business with a friend of mine. We are college students who are looking to make a few bucks between classes. One of our first customers was a woman who owns this civic. She was mostly concerned with the interior so the exterior saw a quick wash and dress while...

    Reflections, have you seen them? 2006 Subaru

    This customer has had this car for about 8 months now. A shopping cart had its way with the drivers door and the body shop thought it would be nice to install some swirls while they had the car there. I don't have interior or before pics because I was strained for time. This owner is very...

    What a disgrace - Toronto Autoshow, Pontiac

    I was at the Toronto autoshow (Canadian International Autoshow) and was over in the Pontiac section when I saw this. How could they put this on the floor under such unforgiving lights. It is a Pontiac Solstice by the way, looks horrible. The whole car was like this. :bolt

    2003 Subaru

    Hey, this is one of my first details. This is my uncles car and he takes pretty good care of the car so it wasn't too much work. That is why there are no before pictures. It did take me about 6 hours though. I know you will say I need tire dressing but he did not want it on the car so I just...

    Question regarding P/C

    I purchased a P/C not to long ago and have used iti a couple times but I noticed that I have to barley touch the paint to allow for the pad to rotate. If I apply any pressure whatsoever the pad will not spin but continues to vibrate. I have found that my results are good but wasn't sure if...
