Hi everyone! I have been on Autopia for a bit and lurk when I can. I haven`t been able to be as active as I would have lilked over the last few years, but I hope to be around more in the furure. I hope all of my old friends are doing well! I am still doing the same thing..running my shop in...

I need a source for quality MF. I am putting together a "kit" for my customers to purchase post detail and would like to offer a few MF towels in the kit. I don't mind purchasing 2000 or so units at a time if the price is right. Any information is greatly appreciated, please feel free to PM...

Hello all! Things have been crazy at the shop, but I wanted to share a few details. I wish I had time to take more pics. How do you guys do it? :D First up was this Ferrari 360—she needed pretty extensive correction. The main issue aside from normal marring was very deep RIDS. Of course...

First off, hi everyone! So many friends that I miss around here--just too many irons in the fire limiting my time behind the computer. Hope everyone is doing well. CF's AT BOTTOM For those that don't know...I operate a 2500sq ft detailing facility in Memphis. We mainly do paint...

This ol’ girl had a little bit of everything! The owner *thought* that he had seen the paint, but in reality, he didn’t even know what color it was! He had tried to “compound it out and give it a wax job” and knew that it needed “something.” That something was about 20 hours of polishing...

Greetings all, hope everyone is doing well! I can't get on the forums as much as I would like, but I guess that's a good thing. I am sure that everyone here that detils for a living cringes when they hear, "it's not that bad" over the phone...it's *always* that bad, or worse! We pulled...

Just cleaned my leather with the leatherique twins--I was amazed at how well they worked on "what I thought was really clean" leather. Does anyone use anything afterwards? I was thinking of using my go to Leathermaster protection cream. Thoughts?

Hi everyone! The Autopia virus basically took my computer down to the bare metal :D So I rebuilt and stayed away until I could make sure everything was safe. Hope all is well with everyone. I don't get to post as much as I would like as we try to stay pretty busy, but I was having withdrawals!

Have a client with a car in a shop there (ZR1) and needs it washed--anyone there?

Detailing Bucket Dolly Kit from SpectrumSuperStore.com at SHOP.COM I like the way one could "scrub" a mitt before going back into the wash bucket... Thoughts/experiences?

This noble needed a bit of TLC to say the least. The owner was going to sell it and just wanted it cleaned up a bit—turned out to be more of a project for us. We couldn’t let it o with just a mild clean up, so we polished it with M205 and sealed with UPP. The car had buffer trails all over it...

This ultima has been a project for quite sometime—the owner owns the speed shop where we use to rent space. He bought it as a rolling chasis, then installed a crate (well they opened up and did forged pistons, etc) LS7. The car was then painted…that’s where we came in. When we received the...

These last few months have been really crazy for us—we have been working on this new space for about six months now and it’s finally ready. We have *a lot* of things to do, but I thought that some of you guys might like to see the progress. Our other location was great, but we quickly outgrew...

Trying to catch up on a few details, a couple of these were done months ago… This Bentley was in really rough shape. The paint protection film was really of poor quality(the install wasn’t much better), but the owner opted not to replace it. The exterior was riddled with swirls/marring and...

This GTR had about 3500 actual miles, but the paint must have been aged in dog years! The owner had a group of mobile guys come out to “detail” the car and you guys can just imagine how that went. He finally talked to the sales manager at the dealership and thankfully he referred him to us...

Hey guys! It’s been quite a while since I have had time to check in, much less type up a post—I am so behind on cars that I thought I would just share a couple from the last month or so. First up is this black maerati that was absolutely riddled with RIDS, wash scratches, etc. It took us...

Can you guys help me out and please vote for my buddy's GF on the MAXIM hometown hotties contest. Her name is "stacy" and she is from Jackson, TN--third row down, five pics from the left. Here is a link to all of the girls--semiwarning on the link I guess?? Hometown Hotties on...

This 07 Harley Davidson edition F150 truck was in great shape, but needed a bit of correction. The paint was full of water spots, had a bit of minor marring, but overall the owner has done a great job of maintaining it. We used M105/flex/orange pad M205/flex/grey LC pad 4* UPP Collinite...

I collect to wear, mainly nike SB's, but I mix in a few pairs of Jordans from time to time. Anyone else have extensive shoe collections? Just seems like there might be a correlation between shoe collectors and autopians. :D

This G37 though low mileage in was riddled with marring, it had it all-- buffer swirls, RIDS, wash-inducd marring, etc. Took about 36 man hours to correct with the following: M105 FLEX/Orange pad 3M PI 3000 rubbing compound FLEX/orange pad FPII flex red ccs pad Sealed with customer...
