Blehhh... My response: Autopia: Thoughts?

Afternoon All, Having graduated almost a year ago, my loans have just started kicking into action and I have been getting consolidation notices from companies everywhere claiming everything. Rather than jump in without checking the water-depth, I'd appreciate some insight on going about...

this can happen from a couple of rags being left too close by. Originally posted at G35driver.com Owner said: .

You are looking at automotive classified advertisements in the paper, magazine, or on the internet and you see "loaded". What should you expect?

Good Evening Everyone, My lease ended with Joe (thanks again!) and I am on the hunt for a new PC. I wanted to pick one up (or order one) within the next few days and wanted to see if there were any deals floating around or recommendations on where would be a good place to send my business...

This was a job that was well worth taking a break from retirement for. The victim was a 2007 Corvette Z06 - black on black - 700 miles. Owned by a really great guy, the car had only been cleaned twice since new, but never detailed. Paul is a detail-guy himself and found me via the...

Been extremely busy with the new gig, but wanted to share a few shots of the stable taken with my new Canon Rebel XTi. The camera is stock and I plan on picking up a Tamron 17-50mm lens and polarizing filter, then doing some practice runs. I'll eventually get good with it, but for now, enjoy...

http://www.buy.com/retail/product.asp?loc=111&sku=203150673 - New URL From $700 to $327. Without a NAV system, I'm not sure how I could've done the mobile thing. A truly priceless asset to my operation.

I can't believe I'm posting this right now, but anyway... I got the fleet information for '07 with my company. Currently I'm in a Chrysler 300 rental (nice!), but it's not offered to us for full-time. Basically there are a few choices, but only two that interest me: -2007 Sebring...

A client of mine is very particular about his '06 BLK/BLK Z06. I will be detailing it for him soon and since I am on an extreme part time schedule with detailing, it's not worth it for me to drive that far to wash his car. He is basically looking for a bi-weekly wash that includes...

Sad, but true, Detailing By Executive is nearly extinct. Lemme detail you on this real quick: A recent Business Management Graduate from Quinnipiac University, I've always wanted to move to a larger corporation selling big named products for a well known company. Having over 25 interviews...

This has happened to me on numerous occasions, but once more last night, so I figured I'd see if it's common. As I'm sure with many mobile detailers, your cell phone is your work phone/personal phone. Liz always hounds me at night if it's ringing off the hook (she has a valid point). Some...

Today I had to do *my* version of new car prep for a good customer of mine, user 'willroman'. I had detailed his Mazda 626 and more recently, Sonoma Sunset Altima. Will does about 100 miles per day for his commute so he changes vehicles rather reguarly. Anyway, he found a great deal on this...

Something that is reasonably powerful, kills germs, is streak free on glass/black, and won't do any damage over time. Liz and I have been using Windex with some vinegar in it, but just the fact that we are using *Windex* leaves me uneasy...Detailing has given it such a bad name :D. I was...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OoghfzWrNbs WOW! Woulda liked to see it on a straight, but still...insane.

I recently detailed for a client who I thought stepped into the "rediculous" sector. Maybe I'm acting up a bit much, but here's how it went. I was scheduled to show up at 8:30am for this detail which was about 90 mins from me. It was raining all morning but he needed the car done for a...

**9/28/06 Update** I was given permission by Eric Dunn at Lake Country to “let the cat out of the bag�. For this detail (and many others) in the past month or so, I used the new Lake Country CCS Pads ( http://lakecountrymfg.com/featured.html ). Thanks to Eric at Lake, he gave me...

Here are a recent batch of details I have completed over the past couple of weeks. I have hand selected these ones. First up, an Acura TSX. I detail this car twice a year and the owner just wanted it cleaned and additional coat of Z. Just a Optimum No Rinse Wash, Z6 wipedown, then Z5...
