About 2 years ago, my wife and I learned that our son would be born with a very significant brain malformation and would probably not live. We were blessed with nearly 21 months of life with him. It's been almost 6 weeks since he passed away. I write this post tonight and share our blog...

I got the opportunity to detail this 2002 Corvette - Millenium Yellow Coupe, 6 speed, A&A Supercharger kit, BBS wheels. The owner asked that I help him with a deep clean and a base of Zaino that he could then maintain. I cleaned the wheels and tires with MiraClean all-purpose cleaner and a...

I've waited a LONG time for this, but I finally picked up a new truck on Friday. 2009 GMC Sierra Z71 - SLT | Leather | 6-disc | Heated seats It was tinted before delivery. I am going to debadge it, put a spray-in liner in next month, and I'm considering putting some 285 BFGs on as well...

Week before last, our sprinklers were out of commission. After the heat of last week (100+ everyday), the yard and trees are suffering a bit. Yellow, patchy grass (mostly fescue) and wilty/burnt leaves up high. I took care of the sprinklers and have increased the watering frequency for the...

Our house was built in 1973 and has many of the original features - stylish linoleum, wall paper, wainscoting, fixtures, popcorn ceilings, outdated appliances, carpet, etc. Here are some pics of the move-in condition: Rockin' basement (high-tech entertainment center)

They no longer carry Eurow sheepskin mitts in our area, so I no longer have a convenient source for mitts. :bat

We're finally getting the bug and the time to get back to remodeling our house. Our next steps are paint, carpet, and tile. We need to paint/refinish some trim work and paneling along with painting the walls. For you builders, contractors, or experienced DIY'ers out there, I'm curious about...

Here's another quick G8 GT detail I did recently. This one has the Sport and Premium packages. It was a new car prep with only 300 miles on the clock. Wheels/tires - Eagle One All Wheel and Tire Wash - Zaino Z7 with Eurow Sheepskin and two bucket method Clay - Zaino Z18 (this one was...

Metropolitan Vac N’ Blo Auto Vacuum | Gear Patrol Let me know what you think.

The Corvette guys are quick...was reading another forum, and they spotted the Zaino MF towels up on the Zaino website. I got to do a little tail-end beta testing, and I really like these towels.

This is the first vehicle I've detailed in a couple of years. It was a nice one to get back into things with. No major paint correction - just a good clean and protect for summer time. I'm really starting to like these cars more and more. This one has the Premium package and the Sport...

I'm sure this has been discussed, but the search wasn't working for me. When you're finished polishing with a PFW pad, what is the correct way to clean them without damaging the pad? Can they be soaked and rinsed like foam pads?

After applying, waiting, writing, and waiting some more, I found out last week that I've been selected to be a Contributing Writer for Gear Patrol. Gear Patrol is an online publication for men - "The definitive resource for the ever-evolving man." This is something I really wanted to do and...

Well, on Thursday, my father-in-law and a few of his friends got a wild hair and decided they were going to Barrett Jackson on Friday. He called and invited me, so I jumped at the chance. We flew out Friday morning and flew back Friday night. It was the first time for us to go, and we really...

Well, it's just about time for new tires for the Tahoe, and I want to get it done before any real weather starts. I'm really debating between the Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revo and the Nitto Terra Grappler, both in a 265/70/17. Does anyone have experience with either - particularly concerning...

Although it's still a little early, the reminders from Tire Rack and other sources have had me thinking. Just wanted to see what the rest of you are thinking about or going to do to prepare your vehicle for the upcoming winter? I'm going to: - get battery checked since it's a few years...
