Reading ZaneO's thread reminded me of this Sometime in August I received a call from a guy who needed his 06 Black Impala "rubbed out." I went over and took a look at it--:eek: Evidently he had been in an accident and a body shop had repaired the front half of the car. Every panel was...

Hi all--I did a maintenance detail for a customer over the weekend and I thought this was interesting.... On April the 22nd I applied two thin coats of Wolfgang deep gloss sealant, then finished off with an application of OCW. You read the original thread here...

5.5 inch Dual Action Pad Combo They only come in white and orange, but so far they have been fantastic for me. I use the PC to follow up with after rotary work. IMO, these pads bridge the gap between the 4" spot pads and the 6.5" regular pads. They are thinner than regular pads and IMO...

Seems like a lot of bang for the buck. My costco steamer died, can't detail without one now. :D I am open to other models as well, but want to spend aorund $500 or so. TIA http://www.vaporcleanproducts.com/vapor.htm

***This will take a litle while for me to post becasue of the limitations on images, so just give me a minute or two*** This was a pretty busy weekend for me�an all-nighter combined with a few “all-dayers� really tested by body. I made it though---with help. :D The first...

This is the first draft--I know that I want to change the "w" as I feel it's too hard to read, I might even change the whole font. Any input would be greatly appreciated--TIA I have thick skin--fire away. :D

Just a few details over the weekend�both were at the same location. I began doing work for this gentleman last year�what a great client. While we there he bought us pizza, continually asked if we needed anything, and was just an overall great host. We were there to detail his...

After a few weeks of working on stuff like this: It was nice to detail something like this. The owner will be installing a clear bra soon and wanted the paint to as perfect as possible. There are still a few deeper, isolated scratches, but the paint is now ready for clear bra...

Not too bad, right? ;) Here’s what full sun revealed. :eek: Yep, it was hammered!! This is not what I wanted see. Corvette clear is the hardest clear to correct IMO—it’s like polishing concrete!! I knew that the paint would not be correctable to 100%, but I...

This weekend turned out to be quite interestingâ€â€�both cars were Mopar powered, both had excellent facilities for a detailer (huge garges, one was even climate controlled :eek: ), and both needed some serious attention. Where they differed was in the type of defects….. First up...

How about this for finding swirls? Are they as hot as halogens? Too bad they are sooo expensive. :D http://www.costco.com/Browse/Product.aspx?Prodid=11075380&search=work...

Hopefully, these will brighten your day. :D

I let a friend borrow mine and he *loved* it, but doesn't want to spend big bucks on a professional unit. Has anyone been able to find a similar unit for <$100? 50-60 PSI, hand held trigger on end of hose, etc? I tried several different google searches to no avail. :( As a side note, I...

On Saturday I had more than I could handle in the way of details, in addition to what is seen here in the pics, I also did an exterior wash of an accord, and polished a motorcycle. I knew that I could not possibly do the work by myself, so I called Tony (Hilfigercelica) to help me out. Tony...

I understand that maket and location play a huge roll, but I would like to have an idea. How large is your fixed location and how much is the rent? What would you look for in location if you were to leave? What do you like/dilike about your location now?

This truck was purchased from a local Chevrolet dealership—it’s an 05. The paint had the worst water etching that I have ever seen, not only in depth, but also in abundance. The swirls were also very bad, some of the them were deep enough to be considered scratches. The paint was fairly...

I don't any experience with this kind of paint. Does it really exist , or is it just SS paint? Here's the scenario--I went to a customer's house last night to give him a quote on detailing a 68 charger. The car is completely restored inside and out and has the most flawless paint that that...

I want a good pair, any recommendations? We should invent some that "highlight" swirls. Perhaps polarized with teh special coating. :D

This was my task fro Saturday, the dealer washes this car so buckle up and get ready for the swirls. :D The interior was very clean, but needed a little “detailing.� The process for the car was as follows: Wash Clay Wet sand various scratches with 2000 unigrit, then...

This car is very well taken care of, but needed a few minor issues addressed. The swirls were very minimal, in fact I can’t remember a car that I have detailed in the past year that had fewer swirls. The hood did have some acid rain damage that was too deep to safely remove, but I would have...
