I though that it would be cool to see what other people would like to see from the manufacturers. I am not talking about magical sealants that last five decades, but rather specific tools (or products I guess) that would enhance your process. I would like to see: A mitt that had sheepskin...

Long story short, a forum that I regularly post on changed servers, after the server update I can no longer access the site. When I try to long on it gives the following message. "In order to accept POST request originating from this domain, the admin must add this domain to the whitelist."...

Now I am no pro, so this might be cost prohibitive for you guys, but I have had great success with this "marketing" idea. I use shutterfly to create holiday cards using a good picture of the customer's vehicle (obviously taken at the time of the detail). I make sure to write a personalized...

Well, they're both blue with white stripes. :) This viper belongs to the manager of a local speed shop. I have done work for them before and it’s always great. The cars are typically in good shape and they send referrals to me quite a bit. This guy DRIVES this car, I am not sure about...

First I have to give my car a QEW tonight. :) Then tomorrow I have a viper(blue with the white racing stripes) and a cadillac CTS-v (black), on Sunday I have a 71 mustang(black). :woot: Looks like the weather is going to cooperate as well, sunny and around 40 each day!!!

Deatiled this vehicle Saturday. The weather has been awful ALL weekend, but I was able to finish without getting rained on. This car still had drive-outs on it, I guess the dealer doesn’t do any prep on used cars???? The swirls were numerous AND deep, looked like someone washed it...

Well, this car was quite the challenge. TONS of dead paint and a $500 paint job to start with. I made the most of it. :) The process that I used to restore the paint is as follows: Wash Dry Apply Hi-Temp heavy cut compound with a twisted wool pad (first I tried knitted wool, but...

Today I had the pleasure of detailing a Toyota Highlander Hybrid. Some of you may recognize the driveway, as this is the same guy who owns the black SC cobra that I detailed not too long ago. Detailing for this guy is AWESOME!!! His cars are always in great shape, he appreciates the small...

While some people were out fighting the crowds on Friday, I was detailing a SEVERELY swirled HUMMER (I wouldn't have it any other way :) ). The truck was evidently traded in by a doctor (who had just about every accessory imaginable installed in it) and the dealer wanted the swirls removed...

I am having a hard time keeping up with my appointments. Right now I am booked every weekend through mid December, but keeping up with that has been a headache. I have just been using a pocket calendar and writing the info by hand. I am considering getting a PDA, but not sure how much use I...

After detailing a *very* fould van on Saturday, when this showed up Sunday--I was excited!!! The car is a 91, third owner car that has been fairly well taken care of. The swirls were fairly severe, but I could not capture them becasue of the lack of sun. Honestly, it's hard to see any...

http://www.rightlook.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=828&HS=1 Might be a cheaper alternative for those of you wanting to try the cyclo, then again, it could be garbage. It's called "The Twinster" LOL. :)

This was my project yesterday, owner stated over the phone that it was “in good condition, just needed a little sprucing up.� I knew exactly what that meant. Total time was 5 hours. Process was: Wash Clay Hi-Temp extreme cut with wool pad via rotary @1500 RPM’s...

Don’t even know where to begin with this one. This Excursion serves as the family grocery getter for a family with four kids. It has been two years since I touched it, obviously NO upkeep from the owner. I’ll let the pictures tell you the rest…. Process was: Costco...

Just as a whole, does it bother you that some many of us want to "play house" on the weekend? I know that we cannot deliver the same results as you guys, but what are your feelings on the situation?

Who uses them? Which ones do you prefer? Twisted or the knitted ones? How do you wash/care for them? I have been using a little of both lately. I use the twisted for heavy compounding and the knitted for light compounding. I like the fast cutting, but hate the linting. I have just...

The owner of this Miata was tired of looking at all the swirls. He knew they were there, but did not know how to remove. The car was a bit of a PITA to detail. It is small, but the swirls were REALLY deep. I returned the car to about 95% with some minor marring still left behind. I...

This Vette has been used and abused!!! The owner bought it used and was going to pay to have it repainted. Someone referred him to me (the guy with the black Suburban if you remember) and I was hired to “do the best you can.� He’s no longer planning on repainting it. :D...

I think I may get a few of these to give away as Christmas gifts. The kit seems to be comprised of high quality products at a great price. http://www.costco.com/Browse/Product.aspx?whse=BC&topnav=&prodid=11044451&ec=BC-EC3666-Cat21248&pos=0F

Yep, washed with a scotchbrite pad!!!! :nervous2: The owner has never washed it herself so she did not know what the damage was from, I knew as soon as I saw it. The entire car was COVERED in scratches. I had less than ideal working conditions, poor lighting, very cramped area, standing...
