    PC 7427 ain't "cutting it" anymore

    I have been using the PC for bout 3 years now, with great success. Problem is, I am now (and have for some time) getting customers that require more correction than the PC can handle.

    Good advertising??

    A short back story..... I saw a nice *new* black corvette parked in a store parking lot the other day. It was nice and shiny, but was LOADED with swirl marks:grrr I could tell that the owner takes pride in their vehicle (LOTS of wax and tire dressing), but either lacked the tools or the...

    Hi from Savannah

    Hey everyone. I've just discovered the concept of detailing:bow Until I bought this car, I've never owned a vehicle worthy of washing, let alone waxing. After detailing the Buick (a '96 Roadmaster wagon), my neighbor actually offer to pay me to do her car. Can you believe it, someone offeed...
