I was blessed to be able to detail this caliber of a car. However, with it only having 500 miles on it, it was a painter/detailer nightmare. :angry The finish, in the complete sunlight, was a mess. AM of ATL subbed out the detailing of this when it was ported. AM's are hand painted to...

Coming up on 4,000 members!! Great to see DC growing~~

So I just saw the new Mobil 1 commercials....they now have 5,000/7,000/15,000 synthetics available now. I run synthetic in the Vette, and it has an on board life remaining meter, but I typically change every 5,000 miles. The Explorer is running on regular oil, but it now has 67,000 miles on it...

I finally found the one I was looking for!! After a hard hunt, I put a contract on a house in Canton (about 30 miles north of Downtown ATL). It is in the beginning framing stages now and is slated to be completed in late May. I am really excited about the opportunity, however, the process is...

I got this note from Adam this morning and figured I would share it. For those of you who don't know, Barrett-Jackson auto auctions have some of the most prestigious cars in the world that has people flocking to them year after year. Just 2 weekends ago, they launched the biggest one ever, of...

Hey folks, I've been blessed with a fantastic hobby that turned into a business where I get to learn more and more about the Art of Detailing. Through my professional training, personal experiences, and knowledge I have gained through online sources such as Detail City, I'd like to share with...

After Zesty's Thread, I figured we would see who is the most popular here on DC

Had the opportunity today to detail this 05' Porsche Cayenne S series. I did an 04' earlier in the year. Not much difference, except I got better results. That makes me feel good in that I know my skills and product knowledge are getting better along the way. The paint was still loaded with...

I went to fill up the car today, and in the middle of all the pumps (about 8 rows) was a table set up, and a bunch of bottles of wax on there with a huge sign saying "Fast Wax" I kinda chuckled at the fact that this guy is probably going to come over and convince me that this is the best stuff...

Been awhile since I last posted. Detailing has been great. Here is one example of what I've been up to. 1994 Ferrari 348 Spider Convertible, single Stage red. I would consider it a yellow light condition. Here was the general regimen: -Washed with Hi-Temp's Prep Wash -Wheels washed with...

I figured since I started the other thread on the soap, I would just copy and paste my whole review of the kit (if you remember how I got that) :lol This is from January 13th, 2004. Keep that in mind Well guys, it finally thawed out here and I had a day and car to detail. While the car is not...

A little odd this week--- My post count went from 2300+ to 1200, back to 2300, and then back to 12xx. Noticed Fuzz's and Dwayne's (big time :D ) went down too. Not that it is really important; the part that matters is that quality is better than quantity. I just realized that I first found...

Hello, I realized that there are just bits and pieces about me out here on DC, so I wanted to actually introduce myself. My name is Nick Carberry, and I currently reside in Woodstock, Georgia, which is 30 minutes north of Downtown Atlanta. I have been detailing cars (besides my own and my...

Used my tried and true Mullet Wax Awesome Wash n' Wax today for the first time in a few months. As I said once before, this stuff totally rocks. It is by far the most suds I've seen, and the lubrication is also great when the suds start to wear down. When you get to the final 1/4 of the...

Hey folks, This Saturday should have a little bit more meaning to us than just a typical weekend day off (for some of us). I really cannot believe that it has been 3 years since that tragic day. While I am glad to see that we have progressed greatly since that day, I do miss all the patriotic...

I got my Makita 9227 Rotary on Friday and just had to try it out on something :naughty The light rotary and wetsanding experience I have had in the past has been at my local bodyshop, so things couldn't really have gone downhill......to far I guess :) This 2001 VW got a key to it...

Have y'all seen the new addition to the left side tool bar. I made my PAC order the other day and typed in the order number and zip and it all came up. You click the link to the UPS Tracking, and you can see exactly when it is coming, HOW COOL IS THIS!! Thanks Dwayne. :dcrules
