After going for a year and a half with one car, my wife and I decided it would be best if we went back to two. SO I set myself a budget and landed a doozy. Of course, I couldn't get just any car, I needed something with style, something with clean lines, and something that reminded me of one...

I don't know if this has been covered here before, but, I just saw a commercial for the new Mythbusters. They are going to try and debunk the myth on whether or not a dirty car is less fuel efficient. Wednesday (October 21 @ 9pm). Stay tuned! :xyxthumbs

While on my honeymoon I received several calls and emails regarding details. Since my wife is also my partner, she didn't mind me taking all the calls and emails I could handle. One of them came from a member on this board looking for a new car prep. I told him that I was on honeymoon at the...

My Finace and I were treated to a weekend in Philadelphia by our friends. The plan on Sunday, after a great night out on Saturday, was to head downtown to get breakfast and watch the pro-race. I'm a former racer and really enjoy when the old comrades come to town once a year. BUT..when we get...

Well, this is my last detail and post as a single man. I have actually a funny post to put over in the Hot-Tub section , but that may or may not happen before I get back from the H-Moon. This detail was a local client looking to restore her BMW to its former beauty. She booked our "Casual...

I picked up this vehicle at the client's office early Thursday morning. The client only has 3,700 miles on the clock, but she wanted me to perform the new car prep package I offer. I have to say it was an absolute blast to drive. She nudged me to actually "drive" it...so I did :woohoo...

So I get a phone call to do a detail. I call the client back and after leaving a voicemessage, decide to email the general pre-detail form so I can give my recommendation and then decide what to do. Based on what she wanted done, I decide that I have a package that would be perfect for her...

Year: 2008 Make: BMW Model: X5 (Custom Ordered) Color: Alpineweiss III Mileage: Mileage Unsure (Over 20k) This belongs to a regular client of mine. After the last detail, I had recommended a 2 step correction of the paint for this detail and I booked him for a full day’s worth of...

Year: 2007 Make: Honda Model: Civic Color: Atomic Blue Mileage: 25,000miles This little bundle of fun came in Saturday morning for a 3 hour makeover. We were able to turn it around in 2:20! I love being able to call an owner and tell them that their vehicle is done...

I have a good deal for you on a Polar S625x with footpod and speed sensor. I have it listed on ebay (here), but if anyone here wants it at a decent price hit me with it. It's around $400 for everything new and believe me it's new. I'm sticking with the bike...running sucks. Tons of...

I give you the stately 750 Li. Here we a have a regular client. I work on this client's vehicles every 3 months and we performed his pre-summer detail one of his vehicles this past weekend. This car is b i g. Lots of body to it. It gets washed quite a bit at the local wash, but it's...

Just picked one up with free shipping. 7 left!

Got this one in last night. I have to say I am a bit nostalgic for the early to mid-90 GM cars. I really like the styling of this model year the best of the Bonnevilles, and while the SC'd engine is no beast, it's no slouch either. Mileage: 210,000 Detail Information: I originally was...

I scheduled this detail at the last minute. My fiance and I decided we were going to schedule a "no work" weekend. That sounded good until I received a phone call for a Mazda 3 that needed some TLC. I was bored, Jordyn was fidgeting, and so we took it in. The idea was to simply freshen...

I was wondering if anyone had ever experimented with Jeweler's Rouge cloth while polishing stainless, chrome, or other high polish metals. I was thinking about looking into something like (Rouge cloth, measuring 9 inches by 11 inches, sold individually. - Fire Mountain Gems and Beads) I know...

Ok, so one of my clients gave me a gift card for Barnes and Noble the other day as a tip. So I went in yesterday for a Starbucks and car mag. While I was there I started thinking about getting a new magazine subscription. I was wondering what you guys thought about the following magazine...

First C&G in a long time. This is a real nice example of an older car with SUPRA nice curves and clean lines. 3 owners, all the papers, and never beat down. Apparently, in '97 only 28 Supras were built with Black on Black and 6 speed in the Targa. Still modern looking after all of these...

I just wanted to post an FYI for any of you who may be thinking about ordering or have ordered the latest Green Polishing pads from LC. A few weeks ago I reordered some CCS 6.5 inch Green Polishing/Finishing Pad - LC-78-34650DA. I also ordered the CCS 6.5 inch Green Cutting Pad -...

I came across this article from last year while I was searching for something else. Thought some of them would benefit us as owners of our own business and others would serve us well to tell the salesman with the silver tongue apart from those actually selling nice silver. 100 overused...
