Guys, this detailer is using pictures of your hard work to represent himself.

Link to site

Second time in less than a week I found photo theft.

Eric

P.S.: How is the weather in Canada?
 
Eric,

That is CRAP!!

Just to prove that the picture is mine I have not only the original but I get can the testimony of the cars owner.

The picture in question is of a Jaguar XKR Supercharged engine

Eric, thank you so very much for your keen eye and honesty.
 
OK, I spoke with the owner of that company and he was understanding and apologetic and said he would remove the picture. I also told him that another detailer may contact, namely Clean Dean, about other pictures.

He said he was sorry and that he just needed a picture of an engine. So at the moment it seems to be taken care of and everyone is cool. I again thank Eric for the sharp eye.

Anthony
 
That 's a pretty rinky-dink site if you ask me, the photos are not clear at all.
The Engine Shampooing is the one that I like the most, I wonder if he's using Prell for shampoo:-p
 
I would like to apoligize for the theft of the pictures that I used on my site. I spoke to Anthony regarding this and have taken the pictures off and replaced them with my own. The reason why I did this is becasue of the crappy camera I have and the pictures do not do them justice. So I used some of my fellow members on this and another forum. I am truly sorry for my action and will not happen again. I hope you all don't judge me for a stupid act on my part.
 
I'm not going to pass judgemnt but had you asked me I would have been happy to help. I'm also sure that alot of other here would feel the same
 
Pics...

The site must have been changed!!!!

edschwab1 ... Thanks !!! I would have recognized Anthony's engine pic also !!!!

CleanFreak : No harm done by me. If you used my pic don't sweat it. P.S. My digital camera is the Sony Cybershot U30 it goes for about $200 and is sooooo easy to use. The U20 is its earlier version and a friend of mine uses it with great results. I found it on eBay for @ $150. Both are very small and easy to use. I defenitely recommend a digicam for posting shots on a website. Good Luck !!!
 
Well it is great to see a happy end to this. I hold no hard feelings towards Mark and in fact have said that I am honored to have my work thought of so highly that it would be stolen :)

Mark, check out a camera shop that sells used cameras. You can find some really nice deals there.

I would again like to thank Mark for being upfront and honest and very expediant on the matter. I just hope that my very first post on this thread would be ignored. I just woke up, signed on and saw this right away without my morning coffee and breakfast so I was a bit cranky. So I also need to apologize for my opening remark to Mark.

Thanks,
Anthony

:stupid

I dont know what pics you used but thanks for taking them down. I would definatly get a nice camera. Customers would rather see work you have done.

BTW, what Car Brite Products do you use? I use some of there products. Have you ever tried tri-star, they are just like car brite?
 
Anthony, your first post was nothing more than a standard knee-jerk reaction. I bet everyone who read the initial post by edschwab thought the same thing.

A positive end to potentially hot situation. Kudos to CleanFreak for "coming clean." Lesser individuals would have just left the forum. Get a better camera and write it off as a business expense. Try tigerdirect.com if you're in a budgetary pinch.

I continue to find the professionalism and tactful conduct of DetailCity members very refreshing.

Me too! I'm very proud of our active and contributing members.

:dj
 
Thank you everyone for your support and thank you Anthony for bringing it to my attention. Eventually I will purchase a better digi cam but right now the budget is not there.


02Silverado,

Majority of what I use is CarBrite products. Most of the wax products, carpet cleaners, and dressings. I haven't tried tri-star.
 
Mark,

Again no hard feelings here as I totally understand. In fact after my breakfast and coffee I now feel thatI overreacted so my apologies also.

We can all laugh about it now:lmfao

I should be thankful you think of my work so highly:-p

I actually just bought a new camera today, well actuallyI had it on law-a-way and made the last payment today. You might want to think about that type of plan Mark. I am going now to take a few pics and perhaps post them later.

Anthony
 
Why cant people take there own pics since the detail and have something to show. The pictures and the site is well not very sharp.
 
My cheif concern here is...HOW DID YOU MANGE TO GET SUCH A GOOD LOOKING ENGINE BAY?!?!?!?!?

That is all :)
 
FrOzen, What are you talking about????? Tht situation has been resolved and everyone is okay with what occured. All is forgiven by those involved which is all that really matters. What are you talking about in reference to the sight not being sharp?????? Too Anthony, Clean Dean, Silverado and others: I am very glad that all were willing to work this out!!!!! True Professionalism :))))) PTL... Take care and Happy Detailing to All......Have a great week, Ron
 
Wow! I'm jealous... Wish my detailing pictures could get used for advertisements. :onthespot


"Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery" (does that apply in this situation?)

On a more serious note - glad everything worked out regarding this. I appreciate everyones' sense of professionalism on this website...


Detail City Rocks!


:onthespot

I dunno, I took it from someone elses website myself!:lmfao :-p :lmfao

Sorry, I just coudln't pass that one up. Man I am glad we can all laugh about this now:lol

OK, serious now. I warm up the engine for a few moments, wet down the glass and surrounding painted area and then spray Simple Green all over the engine working from the bottom up. Let it dwell for a few minutes and then scrub the engine from the bottom up. I might do this 2 or 3 times until I feel it is nice and clean. It is also very important to have the correct brushes for the job.

I then dressed the engine after it was dried with AutoMagics "Super Dress It" cut half and half with water. Clean and polish all painted areas, vacuum the sound deadening material or firewall material as some call it then come back by and buff out the dressing and it's done:mohawk

Thanks for the compliment!

Anthony
 
Ok, Anthony, Tass opened the can of worms. What brushes do you use (a variety from small to large I expect)? How do you ever get in to polish all the painted areas??!! How do you get it clean enough to polish? I would just end up making a mess of my engine bay. I just spray down with Simple Green, rinse. When its dry I use BnB or something similar.
