Greetings to all DC members!!! Long time since I've been here... As many of you recall, I had turned to pressure washing residential and commercial buildings, decks, parking lots, sidewalks, etc. etc. I'm pleased to say that this summer has proven to be most profitable for me, allowing me to...

I've been a member of Detail City since it's inception in August 2002... During this time period I've been rather active in one form or another on many detailing forums... Mostly DC... Lately, I've been phasing out detailing and have been switching over to pressure washing full time... The...

Here's something fun: Guess which wax I used on this 2000 Mazda Protege, and I will send the winner this wax. (This car has become my wife's daily driver. She likes to park under trees at work. The birds like to hang out in the branches of these trees and 'bomb' cars. I decided to try a wax...

At the risk of sounding like a 'post whore' in the off-the-beaten path forum - I just had to post one last humorous list here; And please don't take offense if you happen to live in one of these areas that are stereotyped here...: You live in California when ... 1. You make over $250,000...

I received my Wolfgang today, and decided to put it on one of my cars... Thought I'd share a picture of of how it looked after it was on my car............. :( :mad: :bigscream :doh (p.s. I moved down south TO GET AWAY FROM ALL THIS SNOW!!!)

Today I detailed a minivan. For me, the hardest part about detailing minivans is...... well just about everything is difficult, but scrubbing all that carpet in the van is probably the worst... Last summer when I was placing an order with Dwayne, I impulsively bought one of these brushes that...

So Saturday I did a dump truck... and today I got to play.. This job was fun!!! Seven hours of detailing - and all the owner's buddies started coming out of the woodwork with their race cars... I think I may be getting lots more business like this... Here's a teaser picture.. Let me know if...

I must be insane to take on some of the jobs that I do... The job: A Dump Truck Interior (200,000 miles on it... Never been cleaned... used to haul gravel)

I posted this on another detailing message board last November. Thought I'd bring it over here... This is priceless: From Phorum - Auto Detailing Secrets of The Experts: "Date: 11-13-02 18:22 I can honestly say that this has never happened to me before.. until today. I had just finished...

I love experimenting with different waxes/sealants on top of AIO. This truck used to be a rental vehicle - so high mileage, and very neglected. When the customer bought it a month ago, the dealership "detailed" it by sweeping it out and slapping a coat of wax on the paint (and trim)...

I'm an official convert now. AIO topped with UPP rocks! The surface literally felt like touching silk... This was a 2000 Mustang (daily driver) in decent condition. Hard to get that deep reflection with this color. Anyhow, On my next job - I think I'll try topping the AIO with EX. Thanks...

I'm an avid watcher of "Monster Garage" and "Monster House"... Wouldn't it be cool if there was a "Monster Detail"... Picture a team of top-notch detailers who have to meet a challenge within an alloted time period... If they complete the job within the specified time they all receive "tools...

Ok, I just placed an order with Premium Auto Care. And now I'm waiting on the brown truck to bring me some AIO, UPP, and EX. I saw on another thread (UPP vs. EX) where someone had questioned whether or not EX was applied on top of AIO... which it wasn't. I'm wondering if anyone actually has...
