I remember participating in a similar thread a long time ago (over 2 years), but we seem to have a ton of new members since then, so let's do it again. It's always nice putting a face to a name. How about a pic of you, yours (if applicable), and your ride? Be sure to post the current...

Been relatively busy and just had a bunch of time to post these details. I picked a chose these over the past two weeks... First up is my G35. I got to my client's location early (before he was home from work) and was able to quickly dress the wells and tires again. The lighting was...

Now having both in my posession (previously used 106FF over a year ago), I was able to test either side by side... My findings were that they are the same product, verbatim. Color, texture, and performance, all equal. I tested them side by side via rotary and a black finishing pad...

The past two weeks have been CRAPPY, at best. The pranks are lame and Chip isn't even designing. I watch the show for Chip and people who are maestros in their field. I don't want to see some aspiring bimbo learn how to pick colors. Anyone else think it's off track?

Good Morning, I just want to start off by thanking Scottwax, as this client was referred to me from him. I arrived to the client at 9am yesterday morning to detail these two domestics. Upon initial review, I surely had my work cut out for me :). I began with the SS. The bright red...

Good Morning, I had the pleasure of working on this black-on-black Mustang GT for a fellow Autopian (NickMach1). Nick follows the boards very closely and our constant conversation throughout the detail had strong regards to that. Nick is definately an enthusiast and has a nice array of...

Good Morning, As per my post in the Professional Detailers section, I had it out with this beast yesterday. For some reason, the paint would not correct the way I wanted it. The more and more I read and researched, the more I see that I'm not alone. Corvettes, I guess, have plagued...

Which do you prefer? Why? Where do you purchase them from? I like Meguiar's white MF applicators a lot as the quality is very high and they are easily available. Also, the light blue ones sold from Premium Auto Care are pretty nice. What are your choices? I am in the market for a...

What a weekend! Temperatures plateau'd around 90 or so degrees and the sun was rarely blocked by a cloud. I detailed three extremely tarnished, black vehicles. The culprit in each case was all the same, automatic car washes :(. I'll keep this short on text, long on photos, as in this case...

Man, do I feel bad for you. I thought we were getting killed with mid-90s for a couple days, but jeez. That is rediculous. How do you do it? How do you detail?

Due to a request or two as well as my own drive to document my feelings over a specified time period, I have chose to post up my thoughts after the first 4000 miles in my “G�. Exterior First off, I absolutely love the styling. It has been about two months and nothing has...

12,000 miles on the clock! Yep, I see you all laughing on the other sides of the screen. :lmfao :lmfao :lmfao This one was challenging to say the least... I got a call a couple weeks back from a nice young woman wanting to have her 'new' G35 detailed. She explained how her...
