Yesterday I had the pleasure of detailing this fine beast of a car. The owner of the car does custom work on Mustangs as well as other performance cars. You can see his work here www.speedofsoundllc.com, the guage pods are AWESOME!!! They had a piece of Ford vinyl sent to the factory to match...

Yesterday I tackle this jeep Cherokee, it was no small task to say the least. The interior was foul and had never been vacuumed. I separated three nails from my fingers while detailing this interior, not pleasant!!! :sosad On the interior I vacuumed, cleaned carpets with Costco APC 10:1...

I picked these up locally the other day, I have NOT used them yet ( I will in about an hour), but they look really nice. The first is a spot repair kit. You get two wool pads, one foam polishing pad, one foam finishing pad, a BP, and an adapter for the PC. I also got these, they are...

I was in Target yesterday and saw the new vroom products. I couldn't pass up the tire dressing, but that is for later. :D As was mentioned in anopther thread, they have a whole new line of products, brushes/applicators, and towels. While several looked tempting, I had to try the new...

On Saturday I organized a "detail day" for members of a local forum. Everyone paid $15 each and we covered washing/drying correctly, clay usage, defect removal by hand, using the PC. We started at 10:30 and ended around 4:00. I had a lot of fun, it was no a money making venture, but I think...

DISCLAIMER ********** I received this sample free from Mike Phillips by posting in a thread on MOL. I signed up for the sample under the condition that I would post an honest review of the product on MOL. I should also mention that I learned to detail with Meguiars products and have been...

Not sure if you guys have this chain near you, but the MPB is on sale for $21.99. The normal price is $24.99, the sale runs through the end of the month(I think).

I have some IZ ultra that I was going to try soon and was wondering how it stacks up against DACP in terms of abrasiveness. Which do you feel does more work? How do you typically use it? PC? Cyclo? Rotary? I plan on giving it a go via my cyclo with green pads or maybe orange, then...

My parents purchased a new Highlander in early December, per my instructions they insisted on NO prep. The car was a 2004 model that had been on the lot for almost a full year. Suprisingly, the paint was perfect, don't ask me??? :D On December 12th I washed, clayed (lots of gunk and rail...

Last week while in Autozone, I noticed a few new items by Michelin. I have absolutely no need for another tire dressing and the only other brake dust repellant that has worked for be has been rainX. I can't find the rainX anymore(the dollar store ran out). So I did what any idiot what would...

Some of you may have seen the other two thread of the details I did yesterdayâ€Â¦..I thought today would be easierâ€Â¦..not so much. I see this car a few times a year and it is always pretty bad. The customer works out of the car and it really takes a beating. I have no...

So this was my second attempt at detailing today. Same location as the other car, but just as bad perhaps. As far as I could tell, the interior has NEVER been detailed. I vacuumed thoroughly, applied Costco APC 10:1 to carpets, and followed with the LGCM. Vinyl was also cleaned with...

I CLEAN UP AFTER THEM!!!!! Today I had two interior only details at the same location. Owners were as nice as they could be, the interiors? Eh, not so great. The first was a Toyota Tacoma, not sure of the year. The interior was FULL of dog hair and other assorted goodies. In order to...

I went down the car care aisle today to see what was new. They had this foam gun that is very similar to this one offered by CMA http://www.properautocare.com/suprosorino.html I am sure there is a difference in quality as this was about $6. They also had a new rain-X spot free wash...

This is so sad, it is a must read. http://www.srtforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=115125&page=1&pp=15

I worked a deal doing a bit of "free"lance writing for a regional magazine. The coverage is basically the hot rod and motorcycle show scene in this region. I will write monthly articles on detailing and will have all of my contact info printed below the article. I am a weekend warrior who...

Aside from a $100 meguiars gift certificate from my parents, the new NXT collection, and a few other goodies...I also got a very cool mini-me of sorts. I thought this was very cool and also very thoughtful. The car is exactly the same color as mine(less OP ;) ), all three sets of wheels are...

My handle was broken during shipping so TOL sent me a new one. In order to install the new handle you must take apart the machine. I cannot get the motor case back on. TIA

These local dealers have really been keeping me busy this year. We all know what hacks they can be and this car was given their royal treatment. Sunday was not the best day for detailing in Memphis, temps were in the mid-twenties and there was a north wind of 25 mph. My hands were hurting...

Does anyone have one that they really like? I am in the market for one. I have seen a few that had "roller blade type" wheels on them, seems that that would work well. I have also sat in the ones that are shaped more like seats as opposed to stools, they were a bit more comfortable. Any...
