Just a quick update on the mighty Ford Ranger, and how it looks today For a cheap paint job I've got it looking pretty darn good. Most of the work lately has been on the inside..Pulled the dash and repainted that, removed seat and fixed the seat belt that would not retract right. I repainted...

This is a car that I've done many times but yesterday I took the paint all the way down and then back up I bucket washed the car then clayed to get real clean. Then I used PB P-w-C and a cutting pad with my orbital I really worked the day lights out of the paint. Then I used the orbital and a...

Seems like I'm starting to get a good reputation for detailing motorcycles. There is a large amount of them here in NO CAL, that like their bikes clean! This one is being picked up this evening, I haven't put the leather saddle bags back on just yet so that I can show him the work that was done...

I got to a few car specific forums, and notice that some of the posters that are detailers, post their work. Many of these posts are not of the specific car manufacture in that forum. Is that considered spamming? or free enterprise? It doesn't matter here at DC, we are talking about detailing...

I have a Harley I'm working on this week, the rims are chrome spoke, was thinking of using the S&W with some brushes then rinse and dry best as possible. Anyone have ideas or tricks for me?

I saw this on another forum and couldn't help but want to share it here. Not Even Death Can Stop Him From Riding | Motorcycle Blog: The Sidecar

Anyone using this product or have any opinions on it. Guy on another site is swearing by how clean his rims are staying even after 20 plus miles. I'm all about clean rims and all but I can't see how this can fix that Armor All - Product Detail

I did this car yesterday, its a regular customer of mine. She rubbed up on something and got paint transfer on the side mirror the grainy plastic part. I have tried mineral spirits, APC with a brush and clay. None of which came close. I know that lacquer thinner will work but it will take the...

I post on a few other forums. In some that I read, I get the feeling that detailing can be an ego thing. The replies that I read seem very ego orientated, if you disagree it can escalate to a full blown argument. Maybe its just me but I can't help but feeling that way! I have certainly had...

Talk About Deep (this better JP?) Cleaning Over the weekend our weather wasn't so great and because of that I had no cars to work on. So I took on the challenge of removing the instrument cluster in my 87 Ford ranger so that I could clean the dust off the gauges. I polished the plastic lens...

How many of you part time weekenders keep track of your expenses and earnings? I've not in past years but decided to this year. I have an excel spread sheet separated by month and listed customer, car, date, charge, email address I figure I can see how much I am spending to making, since...

I had two cans of Tuff Stuff Carpet cleaner laying around, so last weekend I decided to give it a try on some nasty mats. It worked pretty good and that got me thinking about carpet cleaners, also upholstery cleaners Anyone have a favorite they like?

Over the weekend while detailing, I noticed I was running WAY low on BnB. That's the one of the draw backs in ordering gallons, seems like you have A LOT! Since I only use this for wheel wells, I decided to get some armor all to help out. On the SUV I was doing, I sprayed in on the plastic...

I worked on three cars over the weekend. One of Saturdays job was a newer Cadillac escalde, it was for some friends that I have done a few cars for over the last several years Its parked outside year round, a DD for them and has not been touched paint wise, since they got it new. its washed in...

In light of everything that has happened at Toyota, I was thinking this could be a great time to buy one of their cars. I sincerely think there are some issues with some models, but over all Toyota builds good cars. Since they are hurting for business, my guess is you could get a GREAT...

I was given a time out on another site, because I exchanged heated emails with another member. It was about detailing (of course) we didn't agree in a thread and I decided to go to the PM function. He turned me in and I got a one week banning. Not a life changing experience:D That said I had...

Our house was burglarized yesterday afternoon. Someone came in threw the backyard slider and took my laptop that was on the coffee table in the front room, that room faces the front street of the house. What they did was take my son's school backpack, dumped it out and put the LT in it. I don't...

The gift bags are worth 85K I wonder if any car care products made it in there:rofl:rofl

The US hockey team, the sad looks on their faces was an embarrassment to me. OK so they didn't win the gold, but second place in the world standing is not bad, at least accept the metal with a smile on your face.
