So I did this detail on my 21st birthday (Friday, the 26th) for one of my best customers. I was supplied with hot water for QEW and carpet cleaning, music, power, and great company whenever needed. The owner (Craigster) found me on Autopia and I did his Malibu Maxx last month. Anyways, just...

So as many of you remember, I posted a thread a couple weeks ago about an upcoming customer of mine... http://www.detailcity.com/showthread.php?t=7875&highlight=customer Cliff notes are these: Did 3 details for my mechanic who used to detail. He has some old school techniques that he...

GSRstilez’s Hall of Fame Products (aka My Favorites) I have received a few requests to compile a list of my absolute favorite products out there today. I have tried a lot of different products in every area of detailing and I hope this list helps some people make a decision for products...

...into pros ;) Aside from the weather, today was great :) I was contacted at separate times by an Autopian (ejoech) and a Detail City Member (rundatrack) about getting a detail done but having it more interactive so they'd be able to take the skills with them and do it on their own pretty...

Do I have your attention yet :D ? I detailed today for a fellow Autopian (rotaryb). He found me through Autopia and had me come out to give the car a good claying/polishing. The car is a 1992 Mitsubishi Galant VR-4. It's a very rare AWD turbo car in which he has invested PLENTY of engine...

Grabbed this shot when I got home the other night. The sun was tucked behind the other buildings but still light up the upper floors of my building. Many people claim different meanings behind depth, but as I have always perceived it as a reflection that remains clear and sharp farther and...

Hi everyone, I apologize first off for not posting this any sooner. I totally forgot I documented a full use with this stuff until I was running through this fall's pics. Anyways, Poorboy's Spray and Rinse Wheel Cleaner. Came in Steve's prototype bottle with a throat spray sprayer (the kind...

I've gotten extrememly busy with life in general (ie: detailing biz, college, family, friends, fraternity, etc) in the past year and I feel like I am being held back slightly because I don't know my schedule/phone numbers/other info off the top of my head. Also, it'd be nice to have all...

As some of you know I did a 2001 Pathfinder a couple weeks back for my college professor with the Adam's Lineup. I did her husband's 2001 Maxima today with the same regimen. I wanted to see how the Adam's lineup would look on this Charcoal Maxima. To no surprise, it looked great! The paint...

So my mechanic called me up last week (yes the one that I started the customer service thread on a couple weeks ago). He told me how his wife's RX300 was going to Lexus to have all the wood (faux) replaced because it was separating from the dash. He said he needed it detailed to prove that it...

Yup Zaino :) Anyways, today started the winter plan for Liz's Pathfinder. Since her Saab is away for the winter, this will be her vehicle. I gave it a full detail about a year ago with clay, polish, Klasse twins x 4. It was garaged and covered from April until now and has not been driven...

Got some time to grab a few pics of my new detailing combo. Currently on the paint is: -Menzerna FMJ x 2 -Trade Secret x 2 -Meguiar's Hyper Dressing (2:1) on the tires For those wondering about Trade Secret, my findings are this... Piece of cake to apply, goes on very thin, wait 1 minute...

Hi everyone, I had a bit of extra time on the computer today to go through some pics. I figured I'd post up a complete evolution of my 1996 Acura Integra GS-R. I bought my GS-R back in March of '02 from an Insurance Salesman. The car was bone stock except for some faded tint. The car was...

...and you can't say a detailer :) What are everyone's plans for this Halloween and what are you planning on being? Liz and I are heading out to a party held by my fraternity. We contemplated many different ideas, but ultimatley came up with being the Spartan Cheerleaders from Saturday...

Ok, so some of you may remember a few vehicles I did over the summer. White Chevy Pickup, Champagne RX300, and '73 Yellow Camaro SS. I did them for my mechanic of 15+ years (started as my dad's mechanic). Very nice guy and very helpful. He used to detail and still sticks by his old school...

Let's start off with the burden for this week. As we all know every Saab has a sob story. Well my girlfriend's has PLENTY! The car is a 99.5 with 52k miles on it. It has been meticulously maintained (detailed :) ) and maintenanced at all necessary times. However, in the course of her having...

...other than my Scotchbrite Maxima. This one is by far the winner for dirt and grime. BY FAR. Belongs to the woman who lives above me. She is very busy and works the graveyard shift as an RN at Yale Hospital. She pretty much sleeps all day so not much time to care for the Jetta. This car...

Went back to NY this weekend for what was one of my busiest weekends yet. 1 wash (not pictured), 2 wash and waxes, 1 Exterior Detail, and 2 Ultimate Details (in/out). I did the first four Saturday and the 2 Ultimate's today. First up - 2001 Mustang Cobra Convertible Car was polished and...

The Product: Meguiar's Detailer's Line Hyper Dressing Smell: Smells like grape soda. I like :) Viscosity: In it's raw form it is a very thick, light purple liquid. I diluted 2.5:1 and it was a very thin liquid (like water). Packaging: Comes in the newest edition of a gallon container...

The Product: Four Star Ultimate Wheel Cleaner Gel Smell: Smells very citrusy with no hint of solvents. I like :) Viscosity: It is a lime green gellish liquid. Not thick gel like pizon's hair gel, but more like a 'polish' tendency. Packaging: It comes in a nice 16 ounce thin, black spray...
