    Website designers

    My site: Mirror Image | Mobile Auto Detail needs to be overhauled. It's a couple of years old and I want something that is less "noisy" and more professional looking. Anyone do design or have a referral?

    ATL Heat, holy crap!

    So I'm down in ATL, Peachtree City to be more specific and as usual I had a giant suitcase full of detailing stuff and a small carry on with clothes. The look on the eyes of the TSA people when my check bag went through the xray was priceless! hahaha. Anyway, detailing in this heat is almost...

    New wheel cleaner suggestions?

    Been a long time user of P21s gel and love it just looking to see if there's anything new out there that anyone can recommend. I'm always up for trying something new. The only requirement is that it be safe to use on all wheels. I already have a reserve of Megs Wheel Brightener should I...

    BMW X5: Interior and Exterior Detail

    The pictures are pretty self explanatory. This was the first detail since I've started using my DSLR so hopefully the pics will be a bit better than before. I still have a lot to learn with it for sure but I'm happy with my first time using it so I can't complain. This was another referral...

    Better smelling interior protectant

    Just completed an X5 on saturday for a very particular customer. Great guy but I dressed the inside with 303 Protectant after using Leatherique and he was complaining about the musty smell that was left behind. I have to go back and detail his wife's Mini S in a couple of weeks and I wanted to...

    Other hobbies

    Many of the people on here are simply detailing enthusiasts so that's why I chose the title "other hobbies". What do you do in your free time when you aren't detailing? I'm beginning to get back into freshwater fishing. What about the rest of you autopians?

    New pics with my Xsi

    These aren't anything special just two pictures that I took with my new Xsi and kit lens. Only cropping on the 2nd one. The first one is mine and my fiance's chinchilla Oliver. He HATES the flash! So rip me a new one on my first pics.

    Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8?

    Looking at possibly getting an SRT8. Right now I have a Wrangler unlimited 4 door Sahara and while I love it, it has no b@lls when it comes to speed. In the words of Ricky Bobby, I miss you mama speed. So I'm looking at possibly trading in the wrangler and getting an off lease SRT8. Does...

    My New Embroidered shirts

    Just thought I'd say that I finally got my shirts through a local place and they were only $25 each with a $25 one time set up fee for the machine. If anyone would like a link lemme know. Did a Z06 friday and the customer emailed me to tell me that he thought it gave my business a more...

    Mirror Images meets a 2002 Torch Red z06

    This was a referral from another detailer (dirtdiggler on here, thanks again!). The owner takes meticulous care of the car and it's easy to see. Unfortunately as is all too common, I suspect improper wash techniques as contributing to the swirls in the paint. He's anxious to learn proper care...

    Extractor suggestions

    Looking at purchasing an extractor. Been using my rigid shopvac without the filter on for interiors for the last couple of years but it takes too long to get interiors the way I want em. Any suggestions?

    Pics of your shops?

    I'm graduating with my masters in social sciences in July. Basically right now I don't have the time to take half the jobs I have calls for so I take care of my clients I've been working for since I started in 03. A friend of mine wants to look into getting into detailing with me when I'm done...

    Small photoshop favor please

    I just need the car silhouette and "auto detail" changed to black and a phone number added to the bottom of it. Anyone able to help? I don't have photoshop on my comp or I would do it myself. A member here was kind enough to design this logo for me and I have a friend that's going to do some...

    Logo Design Help Needed (Paypal Reward)

    Looking to redesign my logo for my business. I'd like something I can get possibly embroidered or screen printed and of course used on new business cards as well. The future looks like something I could use on a trailer vinyl wrap as well. This was the old one. Looking for something...

    Porsche GT3 RS in Signal Green: Mirror Imaged

    I feel very fortunate to have been chosen to work on this car. I received the call to work on this car on Father's Day by one of my very best clients. His wife and son went and found a Porsche GT3 RS in Signal Green which he had been looking for for some time. It's always great to have the...

    A little teaser sans burnt trim

    Got a call on Father's Day about this one. I apologize for not having more pictures. My customer is emailing me sun shots because I didn't finish working on this until almost 11pm. I'll leave you with one little tease so you can anticipate what I had the privilege of working on for 6 hrs, it...

    2003 BMW 330xi detail from hell

    Many of you may not think this was bad but let me assure you that it sucked worse than probably 90% of the details I've done. Getting dried concrete off paint and fenderwells is a real PITA! The backstory: The owner of this car is one my best customers. When you think of a true car guy...

    Cleaning dried cement off paint?

    I had a customer just call about his wife bmw that's been driven through a construction zone that had dried concrete dust on it and the dust then got wet leaving a sort of cement film over the car. What's the best plan of attack for cleaning this without destroying the paint. I know some...

    2005 Nissan Murano

    I did this at a fraction of my regular hourly rate for a friend of mine at work with the stipulation that she not tell them the price. In return I have 4 other people from work wanting me to clean up their cars as well at a slightly reduced rate (15% less). Anyway, enough with the formalities...
