    DSLR owners, what lens do you use for car macro shots?

    I have a Canon DSLR I haven`t touched in ages, but I thought it would be much better to use than my camera when I jump back into trying to detail for a job. Some people on here and AG take absolutely insane macro shots of water beading and close up of correction work. I Googled and found some...

    am I the only one who wants this?

    am I the only one who thinks this is a good idea? Adam`s use to offer this ages ago, I can`t find any company that makes car care stuff that does anymore. I`m about to order 4 things in gallon sizes. I`d like to have a normal bottle the product comes in. When I`d buy a Gallon from Adam`s they...

    anyone have a 500ml Kwazar bottle they could measure for me? Or have a higher quality bottle recommendation.

    I only have the 1L one and Google ain`t helping me find the dimensions. I want to see if the bottles are too tall and/or too round to fit in my detailing bag bottle holders. I know they have super long necks so I`m thinking they won`t fit, but I could be wrong. I`m also open to suggestions for...

    anything better than Mothers Back-to-Black Tire Renew for WOWO.

    I do the eco thing, and while I keep a gallon contractor sprayer and a few gallon jugs of water. But if I can I use products that work good but don`t require any sort of rinsing. Years ago I use to use Mothers and for a wipe on wipe off it worked close to as good as Tuff Shine for me. I know Eco...

    Logo + name feedback

    Okay, so I used my barely passable image editing skills and tried to incorporate a shine thing. The idea for this just sort of came to me, I don`t like how it looks but I think I maybe like the idea. Don`t think a lot of people would know what the buffer`s suppose to be, any feedback on...

    Makita XOP02Z whaaaaat!

    This looks to be the US release of the DPO600z. Which is an 18v cordless polisher that can switch between forced rotation and free spinning modes. The 600z is cordless version of their corded dual mode model. As an Eco detailer who wants to not have anything corded or a generator. This looks...

    help with me a detailing vehicle.

    I`ve been getting a ton of good feedback in my other threads here, so I`m for more feedback. I`m preparing to re-launch my mobile detailing business. I`m going the 100% Eco conscious route, so I`m going to have a super slimmed down arsenal. I know HHR`s are popular, but the few I found...

    how do you track customers?

    I pondered using Excel, then I thought I`d look into free CMS`s/CMR`s, I found a few that looked nice. And I signed up for Bitrix24, but after playing with it. I realize it does way more than I need, and doesn`t seem best suited for what I`m after. Here`s what I want to be able to do. Put a...

    traffic sign in CA, anyone want to help me win (or maybe lose a bet)

    Okay so I made a bet with my roommate about a sign we saw today. I came home and Googled to find it, but am not seeing it. I was sure I was right, but I don`t know if I`m so sure any more lol. Any ways, we were at an intersection with 2 left turn lanes. The sign on the signal shows 2 left...

    Help with my faded convertible top.

    2008 Saturn Sky with a black cloth top. When I got the car I used 303 convertible on it, then I got semi cheap and moved to 303 cleaner. I always used a boars hair brush, then I`d follow up with their fabric guard. It looked great for awhile. But, I haven`t "cleaned" it in about 1.5 years...

    SO, recently Garry Dean release a new line of stuffs.

    I kinda always wanted to try his IUDJ, but I didn`t like the price. Well he released a new line, and the new version of IUDJ is THREE HUNDRED BUCKS for a gallon. From the best I can tell this is basically like most rinseless products. Now I`m not talking how well it works, I`ve never used it so...

    Logo + name feedback

    I was a part time detailer, the bulk of my stuff got stolen so I took an extended leave. I had a web site and shirts and business cards. What I came to understand from a lot of the people who became clients. The name was too confusing, and maybe it is sort of nonsensical. I thought initially it...

    I`ve been out of the detailing loop for over a year now, I`m starting to get back into it and was poking around online to see what`s new. I came across a line called QP-ON on some Youtube videos. Brian from Apex Detailing was raving about them. So I did a little Googling. They only have 1 US...

    anyone used a Ryobi RY25AXB leaf blower to dry a car?

    I was looking at the battery powered version, but this is the same price and more powerful. It has an air filter, and pretty good specs. I`m wondering how well it would work for drying a car thought. DBA rating`s a bit loud but it has a quiet mode. The battery one is 100mph and 280cfm. I`m...

    bought the new Ryobi 18v cordless 6 gal wet/dry vac I ordered it so I don`t have it yet, but thought I`d pass it along to some detailers who maybe got some Xmas $$$ they want to spend lol. I literally just bought a Rigid shop vac maybe 2 weeks ago. And of course, a few days after I stumbled...
