    2015 bmw x5

    I had the opportunity to detail a long time clients 2015 BMW X5. She brought it to me the day she bought it and I have been keeping it in shape since then. This client is very particular and brings it to me to wash regularly and do full details twice per year. In any event, today was a full...

    A few before and afters:

    Rupes UHS Easy Gloss System

    For the longest time, I have been using LC pads. I recently switched to the Rupes pads just for some comparison. I absolutely love them and probably will not go back to LC pads, except for simple sealant/wax "non corrective" applications. The Rupes cut better, finish down better and hold...

    2017 Porsche 911 Turbo S

    A new client came to me, who also happens to be a friend asking me to detail his brand new 2017 Porsche 911 Turbo S that he had just purchased. I told him that I would be willing to do that. He hadn`t gotten the car yet at this point and he called me from the dealership last week telling me that...

    Layering CQuartz

    I just tried CQuartz for the first time on my new vehicle. Although brand new, we all know how the finishes are right from the dealer. Lucky for me, when I bought my new car, the wrap was still on it. I told them to remove the wrap, but not to do any body prep on it. When I brought it home, it...

    Cariloha Bamboo Towels

    Hey guys, I figured I would spark a discussion on this. My wife and I were on vacation in the carribean and came across this company while shopping in Aruba. The hand towels were extremely soft, hyperalergenic, highly absorbant and ultra soft. We didn't buy any, not knowing anything about the...

    Carpro Hydro2 on Gel Coat

    I have a client who just bought a 28' fifth wheel camper with Gel Coat. The finish is in very good shape, however, he wanted some type of protection on it; specifically, something that would not take a lot of time to apply since he will be waiting for it, and something that will not cost a lot...

    Cleaning PVD Chrome Finish

    I bought a new set of wheels for my truck. Before having them installed, I put two good coats of Collinite 845 on them. The wheels that I purchased are the Worx Beast and are a PVD coating with a clear coat over it. Before I purchased them, I did some research and the PVD chrome coating is...

    Karcher Follow Me

    I have been looking at a new pressure washer for quite some time. I have a 2800psi gas pressure washer that works perfectly. It is about 15 years old and can be hard to start at times, plus it is heavy and bulky. My wife wanted something that she can just hook up to and go. Something that was...

    PVD Wheel Coating

    I was looking at getting a new set of wheels for my lifted truck. I have gone through a few sets of chrome (which even with the best of care, still pitted and rusted like mad) so I recently purchased a black set, which are nice, but the chrome really makes a difference. I am actually eyeing up...

    Rupes Big Foot Random Orbital Polisher - LHR 15ES 15MM

    So, I have been reading alot on the Rupes. I currently use the Porter Cable as well as the Flex Orbitals and have my Dewalt Rotary for those "special occasions". My question is: Before spending several hundred dollars on a Rupes, will I see a large difference in the Rupes v. the PC/Flex in terms...

    I have used the AG SRP/EGP with great success, and great liking. I have been seeing alot about the GTechniq/Silo. Is there much of a difference between the two in terms of looks and protection?

I figured I would take advantage of this deal, and spending $140, I thought I would get the 15% off and Free Shipping as advertised, but when I enter the coupon, it only gives me the 15%...

    Natural Sea Sponge

    I have been using the Natural Sea Sponge for some time now, but my question is: How do you know when it is time to buy a new one? Mine is still in good shape, is not dirty at all, and still seems to clean well without marring. I just didn't know if they eventually wear out or do they last and last?

    102 Year Old still polishing

    Did anyone see this article. I came across it, and thought it was a great article. I hope that I am that energetic, vibrant and healthy at 70 let alone 102. You have to watch the you tube video as well...it is an inspiration. Margaret Dunning, 102-Year Old 'Belle Of The Concours,' Going Back...

    Polisher Handles

    I currently have a side handle on my Dewalt rotary, and see that the new Dewalts come with a Bail handle. What do you guys prefer, a side handle or a Bail Handle and why? I have never used a Bail handle, so I am curious to see if it is a wise purchase.
