Thinking about tweaking my business name a bit from Sahr Car Details to Sahr Car Detailing. Someone pointed out that Details just sounds like its about knowledge and information whereas Detailing is a bit more proactive and hands on. It seems like the majority of detailing companies out there...

So yesterday my project of the day was a black F-150 that a guy was passing down to his 16 yr old son. He didn't want any interior work done and just wanted the scratches removed from the exterior paint. Upon inspection it looked like this truck had been a hunters truck due to all the scratches...

I just purchased a set of the Leatherique duo and before I start using it on cars I thought I'd test it out on a nice executive leather desk chair I obtained for free from a random guy I helped move. I covered it once with the Rejuvenator and saw that it was still not fully clean so I added a...

A friend of mine has a 99 toyota camry that has been sitting outside for awhile. He had it cleaned and detailed once before to get rid of some mold issues that were going on. These mold issues have now apparently resurfaced and we have discovered that the weather stripping at the bottom of the...

Hey guys I went to a clients house the other day and I showed up only expecting to do a quick wash and wax for only a 2 hr gig. Well his neglected BMW wagon needed a bit more work than that.
