About 2 years ago, my wife and I learned that our son would be born with a very significant brain malformation and would probably not live. We were blessed with nearly 21 months of life with him. It's been almost 6 weeks since he passed away. I write this post tonight and share our blog...

I got the opportunity to detail this 2002 Corvette - Millenium Yellow Coupe, 6 speed, A&A Supercharger kit, BBS wheels. The owner asked that I help him with a deep clean and a base of Zaino that he could then maintain. I cleaned the wheels and tires with MiraClean all-purpose cleaner and a...

Our house was built in 1973 and has many of the original features - stylish linoleum, wall paper, wainscoting, fixtures, popcorn ceilings, outdated appliances, carpet, etc. Here are some pics of the move-in condition: Rockin' basement (high-tech entertainment center)

They no longer carry Eurow sheepskin mitts in our area, so I no longer have a convenient source for mitts. :bat

We're finally getting the bug and the time to get back to remodeling our house. Our next steps are paint, carpet, and tile. We need to paint/refinish some trim work and paneling along with painting the walls. For you builders, contractors, or experienced DIY'ers out there, I'm curious about...

Here's another quick G8 GT detail I did recently. This one has the Sport and Premium packages. It was a new car prep with only 300 miles on the clock. Wheels/tires - Eagle One All Wheel and Tire Wash - Zaino Z7 with Eurow Sheepskin and two bucket method Clay - Zaino Z18 (this one was...

Metropolitan Vac N’ Blo Auto Vacuum | Gear Patrol Let me know what you think.

The Corvette guys are quick...was reading another forum, and they spotted the Zaino MF towels up on the Zaino website. I got to do a little tail-end beta testing, and I really like these towels.

This is the first vehicle I've detailed in a couple of years. It was a nice one to get back into things with. No major paint correction - just a good clean and protect for summer time. I'm really starting to like these cars more and more. This one has the Premium package and the Sport...
