1962 Gulf Racing Corvette Detailed to perfection! White has never looked so good! Light sanding on some areas, then a 2 step paint correction(M105/M205 with Meguiar's MF on a Rupes 21) topped with Meguiar’s #26 wax. Interior and Engine thoroughly cleaned and detailed to perfection. Many hours...

Okay, I've searched and searched, but have come up empty handed. I'm sure it's around somewhere, but I've looked on MOL, Autopia and here and have not found the info that I'm looking for. What is the difference between these two products(106FA and 106FF)? What makes one better than the other...

Thought I'd post this over here for you guys... Here's a car we just finished up. 1932 Coupe, very nice car! This has to be my new favorite car that I've worked on. Car was pretty clean when I got it, so "before" pictures really wouldn't show much, but here are the afters, full buff and...

What are you guys using to clean and protect suede? IMO this is one of the most sensitive surfaces to clean and protect, and I see so many vehicles that have damaged suede due to impropper cleaning/protecting. What are you guys using, and how is it working for you? Nick

I just recently purchased a new truck. Well, it's a 2006 model, but new to me :D Back in January, I completely buffed and polished this truck for the owner. He had me take care of it for the sole purpose of selling it. After I was finished with it, he took it home and parked it with a for sale...

Just as the title says, whats the best out there now a days? I tend to find something I like, and stick with it, ignoring all new products that come onto the market. Now that I've been using my latest conditioner for the last 8-10 years, I'd like to see what's the best out there for "feel" and...

Alright guys, this is something that I have fought with for years! Getting good, clean paint with a quick detailer product after a final wipe down. Just about everything I use doesn't work at some point and time, they all leave streaks like this... You can see the streaks just above the...

I'm toying with the idea of a new structure of charging customers, and was wanting some opinions on it. Basicly, I've been charging my hourly rate, plus travel expenses. But what I'm thinking of now, is just marking up the hourly rate when involved with a job over xxx amount of miles. Example...

For those that don't know me, I live in the Dallas Texas area. My family still lives back home in Tampa Florida. Recently I've been helping Steve(10degreesbtdc) get his business up and running, and trying to get him started on the right foot with products and tools. My mom(down in Tampa) has...

Had to go out and take care of another vehicle for him, so I put another coat of wax on the Viper while I was there. Snapped a few more pics also ;) All reflection shots :D

Got this thing in yesterday. Neighbor, who's a pilot, uses this car as his "airport car". So it gets pretty beat up. He just paid it off, and wanted to spruce it up a bit, he came to the right place ;) I know it's not a Lambo, Viper of Ferrari, but I wanted to show off my new buffing carts...

I'm in awe over this car! Nuff said?

Morning guys and gals, I am a Dallas Texas area mobile detailer, looking for someone to fill a part time position, and possibly moving up to full time status. Prefer someone with detailing and polishing experience(but not required). I need someone reliable, and willing to work long hours if...

Started building a buffing cart yesterday. Really tired of cords getting tangled up, and having to stop and change machines as I'm working my way around the vehicle. So I had this brainac idea to have a place for everything, and keep it with me as I travel around the vehicle. All tools are...

With all the different products I use, my hands are absolutely thrashed! And there's no joke about that! My G/F won't let me touch her half the time, claiming that my hands feel like sandpaper. Heck, I can't even touch a car without leaving light scratches in the surface. I have to be super...
