    Tesla model 3 Coating. There’s NOTHING like a Tesla!

    I have already done a few Tesla Model S’s already, also I have detailed a blue model 3. Recently, one of my customers took delivery of a brand new Tesla Model 3 in white. We discussed a coating and this is the first time doing it for a customer. The only other car I coated was my 95 Camry...

    What’s wrong with Optimum Poli Seal??

    So no matter how much I shake it it’s permanently separated. I guess just get a different AIO and forget about it? Anyone else still use Poli Seal? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    Detailing Facebook Background

    So I’m getting used to this app called PhotoAffinity for iPad Pro. It’s like photoshop but for iPads. I’m going to town with it making some really professional stuff. After a few tries I got it to fit perfectly on my page and it looks very professional. By the way I took the mustang photo a...

    Filing a fictitious Business name

    So I was about to file for my business name with The Desert Sun and I saw the other postings. All the others said they haven`t conducted business yet with that name, and if you say you didn`t do business with that name, but you actually did use it, there`s a $1000 fine or something. When I go...

    Rupes Carnauba Soap

    I won some Rupes products, so I`ll review them, starting with the soap. The bottle is tiny! This is the most expensive soap I have (per ounce) I would probably reserve it for my car or maybe as a bonus if I`m detailing the customers car. This cost $20, you can get a gallon of gold class at...

    Winter tips contest

    Winter is fast approaching. In Alaska I would make sure to wash the car and vacuum it so you`re not stuck with a mess all winter. Also the glass should be cleaned and coated for less buildup. The paint should be protected with a durable sealant to protect it from the road salt. But here...
