This vehicle belongs to my girlfriend's mother and has haunted me since day 1. I can honestly say that I've lost sleep over this car. They purchased it about 2 years ago with around 70k on the clock. It has 103k now and still looks like hell. The previous owner's beat the piss out of the...

You're probably laughing right now and saying, "There's no way a 2002 is an 'Xtreme' job", but lemme tell you, this vehicle had it all. Second owners (I believe), the owner contacted me for "the works" minus an engine detail (no pics of interior). This vehicle kicked my tail and 5 1/2 hours...

To kick it off, a 1997 Honda Accord Special Edition belonging to a very loyal client of mine. I have done a lot of details for him and his friends. He just picked this car up to daily drive while his white S2000 (yep, detailed it recently) rests during the ugly days. The car has about...

First up, le 330ci. This is a pretty regular client of mine. I Zaino'd his car back in late August and it's still beading and has some slickness to it. He keeps the car outside 24-7 and has it washed every 2 or so weeks. Today was just a quick job and part of my new "Weekly Wash" service...

After reading Frank Canna's (mirrorfinishman) response to the PDTA’s lack of having an explicit mission statement, it sparked my interest to an exercise I performed in my senior level management class a couple weeks back. As expressed by the professor, this technique was developed by a...

Everyone has seen the commercials, heard the radio ads, but do they know what is really behind this "company"? This is an area where being frugal or uneducated can really hurt you. I am a perfect example. Having never checked my credit (I've only had cards for ~2 years), I decided to take...

You could only imagine what I had to work with when using a title like that :D. The owner, Travis (mesoam), contacted me in regards to having his 1996 Volvo 850R detailed to get rid of the winter wrath. He sent me a couple pics showing the damage of the slush, sand, and general winter...

With many of my clients, I communicate via email and wanted to leave them with a gentle reminder to have their vehicle's detailed due to the warming weather in the North East lately. Critique as you see fit :): Subject - Spring has sprung! It's time to de-winterize your vehicle Body -...

I need to open the discussion up for this situation that has been irking my girlfriend and I for a bit... I live in an apartment with my girlfriend and pets. We are the middle unit, with one below, and one above. The previous tenants above had 2 dogs and 4 kids and we never heard them...

On my never ending quest to find more cool stuff on the net, I am curious to hear which other non-detailing related websites you frequent, that could be useful to other members. Here are mine: - www.team-integra.net - www.ebay.com - www.weather.com - www.wikipedia.com -...

Copied from an email I received recently...I got a great laugh out of these. The following photos show conclusively why it is that women tend to live longer than men. Scroll down to see all the entries. #7 ("Jackstands? Hah! Who needs 'em?") The guy is arc...

and why? I have mostly been using Meguiar's Hyper Dressing cut 2:1 for a long time, but I am on my last dilution of it. I was never too fond of it as it didn't last long and if it got on the paint, required some extra QD to remove. Currently, I have been using CD-2 Engine Detailer...

28* today with a windchill around 10*. Once the sun went down (final 1/2 hour of working), the spray detailers began to flash-freeze. A cold day, but a good one. The vehicle is a 2003 Honda S2000 with only 2900 miles on it. It sat outside for over a year and accumulated a ton of bonded...

A member from another forum PM'd me about having his Generation 3 Acura Integra and Generation 2 Acura TL detailed. He said that the local "detailer" hacked them up pretty bad inducing more swirling and hologramming then when he gave it to them :(. He checked out my website and knows to...

http://youtube.com/watch?v=RN4irN97yYw&search=hasselhoff I guess Hasselhoff is big in Europe, but this video is just off the charts. I'm still trying to think who would actually spend the money to fund this creation, but anyways, it makes for an excellent laugh. I've watched it about five...

I’m currently in my final year at Quinnipiac University (AACSB Accredited) in Hamden, CT. In my Management-490 class we are acting as business consultants for local small businesses in need of a little extra help from business students. The problems have a pretty decent range, but the...
