    This 2004 Cadillac Deville was a referral from a local body shop. Any GM paint that I work on always seems to be on the tough side. This vehicle had some swirls but weren't that noticeable until I got the halogens out. I couldn't see any with the Brinkmann handheld light gun. This was a Full...

    My wife is a graphic designer at one of the local hospitals. When we started my business a couple months ago, we approached the hospital about offering my services as a concierge service to all hospital employees.

    This job has an interesting story behind it. A guy I know that does mobile bumper repair told me about a guy opening up a detail shop about 10 minutes west of where I live. A few weeks later I just happened to be in the area so I figured I'd drive by this place to check it out. After finding...
