    Anyone tried Ardex wax?

    I ran out of wax yesterday at work, and had planned on getting some Car Brite paste, but the rep said he had a couple tubs of Ardex left, and it was better. I hadn't heard of it but he convinced me to try it. For $17 per lb, I figured it was worth a shot. It looks and feels like a tub of...

    2011 RedBull Indianapolis MotoGP

    My brother and I spent the weekend at Indy for the MotoGP race. We arrived at 10am Saturday and spent most of the day checking out all of the vendors, custom bikes, and everything in the market place, all while trolling the stands looking for good seats right before each qualifying run. We made...

    Poorboy's Master Cut Compound Review

    First off I want to thank all who were involved in getting us these samples to try out and review. After reading Tuscarora Dave's review, I was excited to try this new compound out. Since most of my work involves hard wetsanding and some pretty extreme measures sometimes, I figured I wouldnt...

    Finally got some wheels for my truck

    Well after a year of replacing parts, breaking down, breaking down some more, investing $2000 into new front end components, and putting over 100 hours total into the paint correction, my retired Border Patrol K9 unit Tahoe is one step closer to being finished. I picked up these monsters last...

    Anyone going to the Indy 500 MotoGP?

    My brother and I have tickets for the MotoGP race at Indy on the 27th and 28th. Not sure how many fellow super bike fans are here, but it would be cool to meet up with some members and have lunch or something if anyone else is going. Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk

    Shampooing Cloth Seats (according to me)

    This has been a tough area for many of us for years. There are a few different ways of going about cleaning cloth seats but they all have their fall backs. Anyone who has tried to remove water rings, soda stains, or anything for that matter from cloth seats know that its not as easy as it...

    Church Van Resurrection

    This was a project I took on at work a few weeks ago and am just now getting around to posting. The pics arent great because they were taken on a phone but its all I had at the time. A little history on the van - from what I could tell it had never been washed or waxed, or even vac'd out. The...

    Thinking about calling it quits

    Ive found myself in a position of working 3 jobs (dealership, weekend detailing, and also working in a machine shop at night sometimes 7 days a week), and when factoring in the extreme heat and humidity in the summer, negative temps all winter, and never being home Ive decided something has to...

    Griots 3in Polisher VS Suzuki Katana

    I recently purchased a 98 Katana. While the bike is as mechanically sound as a 98 can be, it hadnt been taken care of cosmetically. Faded paint and covered in swirls and spiderwebs. While waiting to order what I need to do the engine, swingarm, wheels, I decided last night that I was sick of...

    Just bought a bike, need some suggestions

    I just bought a 98 Katana 600, and while its in really good condition, its never been detailed. The paint and things like that Ive got covered. My question is what are you guys using on the wheels and swingarm on bikes that have this sort of rough textured finish? I really want to get this bike...

    This car belongs to a friend who is a pro photographer. She done a photoshoot of the car after I finished a full detail on it. A special thanks goes to Backroads Photography by Mandy Daly for giving me permission to use them. What I used - Pinnacle Body Work Shampoo Clay Magic Blue Pro...

    Anyone doing Clear Bras?

    Clear Bras is something thats sparked my interest for a while now and Im wondering how many of you are doing them, how hard it is to do, what equipment is needed, and what kind of profit can be made on doing them. Im sure this is something that needs to be done indoors and it looks like a 2 man job.

    One heck of a week

    I live in a very low area 4 miles from the Mississippi River. Monday morning it was storming hard like it had been for several days before that, but I never imagined what was coming next. Monday night, my wife and I went to a concert, and at around midnight when we got to our community, it was...

    04 Mustang GT

    This car is a regular of mine and has been for a long time. Being the first detail of the season I wanted to go a little farther than I have in the past (owner has always gone with the basic detail). After recieving my Pinnacle Sizzling Shine kit from John the other day Ive been dying to use it...

    Sonax Liquid Wax

    I went to a local swap meet Sunday, and a guy had a dozen or so bottles of Sonax liquid wax for $3 each. I figured this was as good of time as any to give Sonax a try. If I had known then what I know now I would have bought every one of them. I had just given my Tahoe its first coat of Nattys...

    F450 Restoration Detail

    When this truck showed up at work with the rest of the fleet that my boss purchased at auction, it was in HORRIBLE condition. The bed had been painted blue, and was beat to pieces. Glue, deep scratches and chunks taken out of the paint, the interior was disgusting as usual, and very beat up as...
