So I'm downtown today and I go to my advertising agency (if you can call it that) to change a few things in my current ad and what do i find? I found two movers packing everything up in boxes. This is just a lesson for everybody, if you pay for services up front, make sure you pay with a...

What do you guys use, and why? I have heard a high solvent dressing causes tire rot, but water based dressings don't last as long. With the new VOC compliance regulations, will solvent based dressings be any better for tires? Right now I am using hyper dressing cut 3/1 for engine bay, wheels...

Hi everyone, once again I need your detailing/consumer opinion on my letter that will be sent out to a few choice homes ($1,000,000+) whom owners have a particular taste for high end cars. The address list was self made and includes all of the upscale homes I know of, along with some Ferrari's...

I work full time at a car wash, quick lube, convenience store, gas station, and detail shop (the most reputable within 15-20 min.) They asked if I would like to go to training for an add on service like PDR, interor repair, or paint repair. They want me to pay for the classes, and I'm assuming...

Last weekend I did my first trailer job and I was just wondering what process and products you guys normally use on these jobs to remove the oxidation. This is what I was up against last weekend, a 30 Ft anodized aluminum car trailer.This thing is 15 years old. -Shaun
