One of my best friends is a graphic designer and an amazing artist. For a steak dinner, I talked him into making me a new logo. 2 hours later, heres what I was sent. Its only the rough draft and Im told there will be alot more detail in the finished product. Looking for some feedback :inspector:

This car was done for a client of mine who builds classic cars, and also has a small collection. This car was in very good condition, and with the exception of some custom interior work and a repaint, is all original. I wish I had taken before pics because all of the trim was in pretty bad...

Today was my first day off in over 3 months and my Tahoe had also paid the price. I hadnt even washed it in over a month. The sealant was still holding up well thankfully because there was alot of road tar, bugs, etc everywhere. The process was pretty simple since the paint is still in great...

I finally got a chance today to give Megs #9 a try, and I must say that Im impressed with it. However, while it does exacally what its supposed to do, I got no correction on light scratches and blemishes in the paint other than the swirls. Since the paint was in horrible shape, I used 3M...

This is the first write up Ive done in a while, and since this is something differant than what i normally get to work on, I figured it was worth taking some pics to share. I didnt get any befores because the paint didnt seem to be in bad shape from the first glance, and neither did the...

This is a project truck that Ive been working on during my spare time for 3 weeks. The truck only has 43,000 miles on it but most of them were obviously off-road miles. This is one of the hardest correction jobs Ive ever done, and it figures that my Griots polisher broke half way through the...

Alright, I know Ive said things in the past on this site and others about my feelings toward Paul Dalton. I dont believe much in Swissvax and I dont believe the mans wax is worth the price of it. That being said, I feel that his work is unbelievable, his marketing is top notch, and I wish I made...

Im in the early stages of buying a cargo van through the dealership I work for and plan to set up a great mobile rig with it. I have my choices of about 30 differant ones ranging from Astros to extended Chevys. If I wanted I could even get a Gruman Olson step van (which would be sweet...but no)...

My long awaited Griots Polisher and LC CCS pads came today and I put them to use within minutes after getting home from work. Im so impressed with this machine. I used one my friend bought not long ago, but it wasnt mine and I didnt want to run it hard or anything. This time I really got to see...

After tons of research and advise, Ive placed my order with AG for a Griots polisher, 6 LC CCS pads, and chose PB SSR1 as my free sample. I have a friend who recently bought the biggest package deal Griots has, and had no idea what he had even bought. He brought me the polisher, their orange...

An older man who owned an Expedition brought it to work Friday to have the drivers door painted because his neighbor kid crashed a bicycle into it. It was finished this morning and brought to me to do a quick predelivery wash. It was obvious it hadn't seen anything other than the car wash. It...

I made a hard decision yesterday, but after a very good offer I went back to work full time at the commercial dealership that I used to work at. With business being hit and miss, and 90% of my work coming from them anyway, I figued I was just as well off being a weekend warrior for a while...

I spent the day at what's become my home away from home dealership which is a half mile from the airport here. They are having their annual air show sunday and I spent the entire day watching The Blue Angels practice. This was my first time seeing them in person and I have to say these guys are...

I was contacted by the dealership i do a ton of work for about a Tahoe that "has seen better days". Due to the condition that all of this places vehicals are in when they buy them, I didnt think much of it. It turns out they bought a bunch of Tahoes and Duramax trucks from an auction in South...

I found a ton of these on ebay. The price is right on them, but Ive never heard of them. Just wondering if anyone has one or knows anything about them. Shurhold Dual Action Polisher - eBay (item 250638129939 end time Jun-22-10 13:27:36 PDT) Heres their commercial YouTube - Dual Action...

I was called to do a 2000 Grand am with over 200,000 miles on it. The dealer bought it from an auction for $500 and wasnt expecting it to turn out too great. There were a few spots that the clear was peeling, and several places that were touched up. I wasnt too excited about this one at all so i...

It had been a long time since i had posted my ad on Craigslist, and since Im now mobile only, i figured it was time. I had never posted my phone # or email in the ad before and i had never had a single spammer so i didnt realize the extent of this bs. Within the first hour (this is 1am) my...

My friend bought a 96 Firebird for his wife not long ago. The car was driven daily on gravel roads since it was bought new, had never been waxed, and basically neglected in every way possible. It was COVERED in rock chips. Surprisingly there were only 2 small dings in the whole car though. He...

I was contacted to do an interior and engine detail on a Ford Cargo van by my former boss. I was told it was purchased from a man who was at one time homeless, and him and his dog lived in it for months. I thought he was joking..he wasnt. This was the nasiest vehical i believe Ive ever done...

I did a job a couple weeks ago for a commercial truck dealership that i used to work for. I was told that it had some overspray issues and for me to come by and see what i could do with it. When i got there it was alot worse than i expected. There was overspray, but it was on top of heavy...
