I've seen many post where the detailer is measuring the depth of the paint, looks very impressive. For me in the years that I have detailed I've not used a paint gauge not once. I've burned threw the paint very few times that I can recall (not something that you forget) but all of those have...

You read the newspapers to find your victims. Local Sonoma County family of four was returning from Hawaii after Thanksgiving. A few miles from their home while going threw an intersection, car blew threw on a red light at a high speed and t-boned their mini-van killing all four instantly...

Saw this on another forum and it made me laugh!!:rofl:rofl:rofl

That the guy that side swiped our Camry last night while parked at a store didn't do as bad a damage as he could have. However I am not thankful for the idiot for not leaving his contact info so that I could charge his insurance. The story goes that my wife stopped at Target last night for...

I have a gas stove and it gets gunked up real fast, I have tried everything to get this build up grease deposits off, and nothing is working very effectively. What I have used so far Simple Green BBQ cleaner PB APC 100% PB S&R PB PP Oven Cleaner Steel wool, effective to a center point but to...

Looking at some older pics of cars that I had worked on, this Trooper was one that was (to me) amazing turn around. This was with a wool pad, rotary and PB SSR line

Ever look at the free section on Craigslist? There is a ton of stuff people are just giving away. I check my local area all the time out of curiosity. Sometimes there is some pretty good stuff that people just want to get rid of. Tons of piano's and couches.

I have been watching on Craigslist for some OEM rims for my Camry. I figured that someone would have bought a new car and then put some after market rims on, or have an old set laying around collecting dust. I found these online today, they are off a 94 Lexus SC400 and fit the car perfectly...

Now that you are back, can you tell us about anything that WOW'D you at the show, meaning in car care products. I know from doing electronic trade shows for years, that was a time for companies to release new products, or press releases on various parts of the industry. All that said anything...

I was thinking about some of the things that I have done, that I find funny or to some dumb:D One that came to mind, was a few years back on a Saturday evening the wife and I where BBQ dinner. We got everything cooked but had forgot to put the french bread that was wrapped in foil in the oven...

In light of a recent compliant that I received from a detail. I wondered how many of you get complaints? In the years that I have done this, I could count on one hand of any dissatisfied customers that I have had. I have to say that I was taken back by this last novel of things this customer...

This last week here in NO Cal we had a huge storm roll threw. I had put a fresh coat of Nattys red on my Camry last weekend. This weekend I could see that all the minor swirls and such in this 13 year old car where very visible. I guess the 5 inches of water that fell down in buckets washed off...

I want to know what time frame dose a customer have to come back and complain about the detail? Meaning quality of work, something that you put on the car and maybe a delayed reaction, etc. I have one that is coming back to me with a LIST of issues on a car that I did. I will post his replies...

While working on a car over the weekend I was thinking about, what it would be like to have PB wheel sealant and polish combined. Thus taking one step out of the detailing process for rims. Any ideas on this one Oh Great One (Steve):D

The wife asked early in the week what plans I had for the weekend. Thinking,:idea she wants to go see her Mom and drag me along....wrong, she wants to invite her sister to come up. Well OK that's good with me, they talk and look at ad's all weekend leaving me alone in the man cave. Then she...

I read all the time about compounding a cars paint, then they talk about removing the swirls with a designated SWR chemical. Compounding was something I remember doing on single stage back in those ole days, Dupont Old #7 was my go to, really my fathers go to!:D Correct me if I'm wrong but...

Can anyone point me at a site that has non-bias reviews on car polishes, compounds and such? I've read various ones over the past few years, and have formed my own opinion on the countless ones I've tried. My interest is in review or evaluation by experienced people that write about the...

How many times have you heard this statement? For me its countless times, when I am talking to someone about a full detail or they are looking at my cars. Its interesting the perception of people ideas of detailing is just a good wax. At this point in my detailing career, I reside to just...

Is anyone using these for glass cleaning? I've been eyeing getting some to see how they work for the buffing part on glass. I am for ever fighting with linting or smears on glass. Using my MF just for glass towels. Maybe I'm expecting to much:D I more than understand the process and take my...

Today I decided to take the day off of detailing, over the last two days I've done two cars and one Harley. So I S&W my car down, then a fresh coat of Nattys..Looks good, then I got the bug to put a coat of BH glaze on. I really love the look of glaze on the car, its shiny as a diamond..My...
