LOTUS Elise I finally got the chance to detail this ride. I’ve asked the lady numerous times, and she always tells me I like to clean my own car. However every time I see it it’s filthy. I ran a Holiday Detail Special ad in a local magazine and she broke down and call me...

Hydrophobic? How does this look for sheeting?

REFLECTIONS CARRY-ALL BUCKET After using a traditional 5 gallon bucket for years of car washing and other household chores I came up with a simple but extremely effective idea. I actually had a dream about this bucket about a month before last year’s Detail Fest in Florida. I was dying...

2007 Corvette convertible and 2008 Arlen Ness I detailed this one a few months ago, so some of you may remove them but, the owner called me Saturday for another quick detail. He doesn’t drive them very often, but it was his birthday on Sunday and he wanted them looking good for a drive...

FLEX CORRECTIONS If any of you are curious to what the FLEX can correct, here are a few pictures of a Corvette a worked on today. The lady asked if would clean her car and of course she opted out of a wax or detail. I’m so tired of all these cheap SOBs! Anyway back to the topic. I am...

2003 Corvette One of my weekly wash customers who owns a used car dealership just got this Vette last week and wanted me to come detail it last Friday, but I told him to please let me wait until I got my FLEX. I also got some Menz SIP to give me the one to punch of SIP and 106. From the...

I just got my flex on Tuesday from Detailed Image, and was wonder what speeds you Flex users use w/ the different applications. I was spreading polish on 1, but doing correction at 6. I was using a white pad w/ SIP, and it seemed to what to get a bit grabby. I would appreciate any input I can...

KING RANCHED!!! On Tuesdays I normally do a lot of wash and vacs for a local construction company, but w/ the market sucking right now they had to cut back and I got cut. Oh well, I was able to pick up another Tuesday gig today. I know a lot of you only want to do full correction details...

Has anyone else had bad experiences w/ new GM vehicles having really soft clears. Black is almost impossible to keep swirl free.

I was lucky enough to get a call from one of my regular customers who wanted his new bike detailed. I'd done two other ones for him a few months and ago, but he wanted the new one detailed before he went for a ride. It's by far the biggest bike I've seen personally. The bike tire is huge. The...

I want to change my adaptor on my PC, but I can't seem to find the PC wrench. I tried using vise grips and pliers but I couldn't get it to come off. Any ideas on what I could use? Thanks!

I live in south Georgia and it get very hot and humid during the summer, so windows can be a real biatch. I recently had a hard time cleaning the insides w/o leaving some type of light film. You can't see it from inside the car, but it's very noticable to me looking in from the outside. I've...

I ordered a five gallons a month ago, and I really don't need that many. I've been using ONR 90 percent of the time, so 2 gallons should last me a while. Products I'm looking for are: ONR gallon, Menzerna, or High Temp?

I recently got a bottle of Jet Seal and used on few of my clients cars. I was able to wash one today for the first time after applying Jet Seal. It was a pearl white Lexus LS 430. What I'm wondering is how the water reacts when rinsing? I didn't any beads, but more of a slight sheeting...

2007 Corvette I’ve been trying to get in touch w/ the owner, Greg Allman (Allman Brothers Band) of this car for a while now, but it’s been pretty tough. He lives here when he’s not on the road touring. I knew he was looking for someone to take care of his vehicles, but I just wasn’t...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I've recently started apply my tire dressing (hyper dressing) in whole new way. I've used foam, mf, and cotton terry towels w/ good results but I think I found my favorite application method. I traded a few wash...

I've been meaning to show you guys my truck and trailer after getting the two of them logoed, but I've just been very busy working since going full-time detail. I like the blue and green colors together, and I try to make everything match. As you can see in the pic I wear blue and green fishing...

Collinite 845 I ordered some Collinite 845 a few months ago from Autogeek, but forgot about it and just started using it this past week. I can’t believe I let the stuff sit on the shelf so long w/o using it. I applied it via PC on speed of 3. It went of very smooth and come of super...

Chemical Guys: Wet Mirror Finish I finally got to use my Wet Mirror Finish from Chemical Guys (thanks AL-53) on black. I used it w/ the blue Edge pad and the PC on speed 4. It went on very smooth and came off really easy. The truck has some marring, but I wasn’t doing any correction...

SHMITT vs. LC mitt I was able to get my hands on two of the new Lake Country mitts everyone’s raving about. I’ve been using the different shmitts for about a year now and I love it. I was hesitant to do any review or comment too much about it until I was able to actually use one. The...
