So I'm outside Kansas City for school and it's snowing today so they have plowed and salted the roads. Oregon does not use road salt, my car has NEVER seen it and I am absolutely petrified of driving my car in it, even for 1/2 a mile. All I think of when I see that white salt residue is the salt...

I've decided I'm going to blow part of my tax refund on some more detail equipment. I've set my sights on a Makita 9227C and Lake Country Kompressor pads. I know that rotaries require a bit of a learning curve and I want to get some practice before going after a client's car with it. I'm...

Anybody have experience with this machine? Durrmaid Pro Mini Carpet Extractor with Vacuum

How many of you know how to? Originally I did not want to but my dad insisted on it. Boy am I glad he did. I have gotten to drive numerous Porsches and several Audi RS4s because of his foresight. :yay Don't be embarrassed if you can't...nothing to be ashamed of. ;)

We all (hopefully) know about right turn on red after stopping but it strikes me that many people don't know that in certain circumstances, you can make left turns on red as well, usually only from a one-way onto another one-way. Left turn on red under any circumstances is prohibited in...

So I'm in Overland Park, Kansas (suburb of Kansas City) for school for the next six weeks. I drove out here from Portland with my Santa Fe and even took the time to pack a MF wash pad, my waffle weave drying towel, a wheel mitt, some soap and other items. Naturally the front of the car is...

Do you guys check the exterior bulbs on a regular basis? I make a habit of it at least once a month if not more frequently. On my Santa Fe there are individual front and rear side marker lights that most owners don't even know exist. The front ones are in the bumper and if the light is blown or...

Because of the winter storm we had, my car spent about one whole month completely covered in grit from the volcanic rocks they use for snow traction. That stuff sticks more than I thought it did because I washed the car and clayed it after dinner and wow...it was bad! I never expected it to be...

Hello all... I come once again seeking your assistance. I began to notice something yesterday that I have, for a while, been able to ignore. I am very tall in the torso and have to duck considerably to get out of my Hyundai Santa Fe, even though the car provides plenty of head room when I'm in...

Literally...my friend removed the decorative chrome exhaust tip from his 2007 Ford Focus for me to clean up. He is usually fastidious about keeping it shiny but with the bad weather, it's covered in crap and has some swirls. I've cleaned it up but it's got a bunch of road tar all over it. I...

I am usually very thorough in my details, especially with new clients. Usually I'm not in business during winter months but my neighbor wanted his Volvo XC90 done while he was visiting family in Argentina. I really needed the money so I agreed. I don't know what it was about this Volvo that got...

I just ordered a bottle and am very stoked to get my hands on it. I just wanted to see (for those that have used it) what the general consensus is on the quality of this product. I've heard great things about it's slickness and the water beading properties. Thanks.

This car belongs to a neighbor down the street and they approached me to detail this car. I quoted them my usual cost for a vehicle like this (dark vehicle - wagon or SUV). I charged them extra simply because the car was in such bad shape. He didn't seem to mind paying extra but he said it...

This was without question the hardest car I've ever had to do correction on. This '07 Range Rover Sport belongs to my next door neighbor. He loves the rig but doesn't have the time to wash it by hand most of the time so he says he takes it through automatic car washes. You can tell. The usual...

Hello all. Just joined up after lurking on and off for a while. I do detailing on the side for the neighbors and family friends and have recently put a bit more money into it. I try to keep from letting it run my life. :) Hope to get to know everybody. Andrew
