Well a bird finally got some revenge on me. After all these years of me cleaning bird poop off cars and removing the stains it leaves behind a bird got the ultimate revenge. I was detailing a 03 bmw 330 for Jay. As I was detailing the car we heard 2 smalls pops from bird crap landing right on...

I feel like I have not posted anything in such along time. Business is crazy, its like all of a sudden everyone in the world wants to have the car detailed. This may seem crazy but sometimes I pray for a little rain just to give me a rest and some sleep. On a side note, i have been...

If you are going to wax by hand I suggest you order one of these. They are easy to use and work very well. Works well with all paste & liquid waxes. I have washed it and used it about 20 times already. This might help some people out a little. It is a foam applicator with a nice size pad on...

Tony drove a real long way with his plug in car;) Actually it was a VW jetta Diesel engine, with an electric plug to keep it warm. It was a white car, that needed some tender loving car. It was not in that bad shape. Tony was coming to me to learn how to detail the car as well. I have to...

I was just hired to detail the cars at the local saturn dealership. So that means there will be a lot of lucky Saturn owners in staten island. This will not be new cars, they will be cars coming in for service. The customer will pay Saturn for the detail, then Saturn pays me. Basically Saturn...

OK, for most of us detailing season has just started or right around the corner. Now is the time to be sure you are ready for the rush, don't take on work if you don't have the supplies to handle the job. I am not going to say in this thread what products you should be using as i want to...

I have been using the same products for years now. I have tried several products along the way but they never seem to live up to my standards. I made a swap with my friend Scottwax. We traded bottle for bottle. I have now used VM glaze on a few cars and here is what i think of the product...

I just love when they come out like this................

This is a 1999 M3, the owner loves the car but it has an ok paint job on it. Who ever painted it could have done much better.

They have a link here on autopia. http://www.paintscratch.com/cgi-bin/log_affiliate.cgi?AFFIL=1060 I don't know anything about them or have seen a thread about them. I guess they are a sponser. I have used many different types of touch up paints, but one thing that scares me is what the...

If you are going to use aerosol products for the interior detailing, be sure to do the interior first before the exterior. The reason why you want to do this is so you can leave the windows open while spraying the aerosol product. You do not want to be in the car and start to breathe this stuff...

I am looking for a hose that can save me space, but at the same time it must be long. I have contract work that i clean on sundays and i need long hoses. Right now I use 2 100 ft hoses that i connect to each other. This works for me but wraping up the hoses is a real pain and takes up...

Well i could not wait any more, i need to wash the cars today, but it was still to cold out by my house to turn the outside water on. I bought a gallon of water in the store and went to work on the cars with QEW. I could not believe how easy it was. I wash & dryed the entire car in less...

I have been ordering lots of signs for the business. It turns out that i spoke with the owner and he said i can pass the savings on to autopians. This sign is an all weather sign, which means it can get wet for all us detailers. It is a good size and people can see it from a distance...
