Hey guys n dolls!   It's been a while since I have posted but am still knee deep in detailing! I started out seven years ago doing weekends only. Two years ago I lost my 9-5 job and took it full time. It's been going great! Phone is ringing off the hook and still doing a car a day. I have...

I need to know how to remove paint transfer from the plastic valance on the front of a car. Thanks Black bumper, white transfer, mustang

I have been doing this now for over six years on the weekends. I have held an 8-5 job during the whole time but have now decided to try the detailing full-time. Living in Sacramento, CA. means that you need a permit just to go down and get a permit. California makes it SO difficult on a small...

Its been quite a while since I have posted. I have been really busy and just haven't had the time to post. This one kinda had to be posted though. I have done some cool cars in the past but I have a feeling that this one will be the coolest car I will ever do. The guy found me on the internet...

Had a customer bring me a car, while they were picking up another car, and ask me about some dried on trim adhesive. After further inspection I found that the hatchback (where the emblems are) had been repainted. Apparently the bodyshop had used something other than the normal trim adhesive...

My wife bought me this DSLR for my 50th BDay this year. Tomorrow to be exact. I was wondering if anyone has any experience with this camera and could offer up any tips or tricks. I am very excited about learning this camera. To the extent of maybe taking a class at the Learning Exchange or...

Placed an order with AutoGeek a couple weeks ago for a new FLEX backing plate and an Optimum Spray gun. I have had my FLEX for a couple years now and the backing plate was showing signs of wear. Velcro coming off all the way around which meant I was shooting pads all over the place when I...

This guy called me a while ago and booked a detail. His weekend arrived and turns out it was the same weekend we started laying pavers for our new patio. It was a very busy weekend between this detail, organizing friends to help with the patio and actually running back and forth between the...

This one belongs to a really neat couple. They ended up having to wait a few weeks for their detail, due to my dance card being quite full lately, and were very excited about getting the car detailed. Process: Wash w/Dawn Dry w/lead blower Clay w/DP Clay Polish w/SIP on orange CCS...

This one was referred from another customer whose Charger I have done a few times now. There were some water spot issues on the passenger side but overall I enjoyed doing this car a lot. The paint corrected very easily and the customer was very happy with the outcome. I also debadged the trunk...

I did this one as part of some payback for some friends helping us lay pavers for our 18'x18; patio in our backyard. It's an old Jetta who's paint is pretty much on it's last leg. They aren't at a place where they can buy a new car yet so I wanted to do what I can to make the car look better...

This one is a third owner, numbers matching truck. It's a 6cyl truck with a manual trans so there's nothing special about it from a "hot rod" perspective....other than what "could be". He has had the truck for over thirty years and is looking to get rid of it. Paint is original color but not...

Customer called about this one cuz she didn't want to buy a new car. (Lots of that going around) She asked of there was anything I could do to "Save her baby" and I assured her that it would look a lot better when she got it back. I did everything I could on this one but couldn't get it...

This one was refered to me from a previous customer. I did his brother's Lexus a couple weeks ago and the Porsche owner brought him to pick up the car. He saw the difference in his brother's car and scheduled the detail right then. Process: Wash w/Dawn Dry with leafblower Polish w/SIP on...

This detail came to me from a gift certificate I had donated to a church function. When I have done this in the past it has always brought me some sort of small car to detail. Well my luck had to run out sometime! The owner called me to schedule and told me that he owned an F150 with a...
