Anybody out there? I only have one friend in my area that details as thoroughly as I do, would love more people to help out.



I hail from South Bend, IN.

fort wayne :waxing: :)
 
awesome, open speed what car do you drive? i try to make a point of remembering all of the nice cars in the area, :)



after finding this site im waay out of my league but hoping by the end of this summer to be back up there. if you ever see a green grand am with a loud catback exhaust, that would be me and feel free to wave me down.
 
I drive a Daytona Blue 350Z(Z33), there are about 4-5 in town, but i am the only one under the age of 40 driving one, so i am easy to pick out.



I just got into detailing after getting my Z in June 05, so I am pretty new to it. I think I have gotten pretty good, its by far the shinest Z in town - thanks to Zaino. I just started doing detailing jobs, I have three to do after my finals this week at ND. I plan on ordering a PC, once I get paid.
 
lol, im right across the street from you right now at holy cross..too much partying at a liberal arts school kinda does that..whups



are you only in the area for school?
 
I'm a born and raised South Bender. I even went to high school right across the street at St Joe. Its like I never left 31. Are you from South Bend too?

Yeah, I hear ya on that. I love my car to be clean all the time, and it's probably one of the cleanest ones of its kind around here, but some of these guys on here got skills!



Add me to the list of South Bend residents. Out of curiosity, what are the detail shops that you guys know of here? I know of a private place on my side of town, but I don't think it's a major business.



BTW, are you guys heading out to Tire Rack tomorrow for the final stop on the One Lap of America event? It's a definite must-see.
 
i do my own detailing. but there is a ziebart's on the south end that is pretty decent, and you can't go wrong with the Drive&Shine up north, I actually went to school with the chain owner's son.



I didnt know anything was goin on out there at the Tire Rack, I'll check the time and maybe head out there tomorrow after my hangover wears off. But I need to get going and return to my party, kinda bad for the host to disappear and go on a damn detailing forum i think... :LOLOL

I like to do it myself too. I totally forgot about Ziebart and I work pretty much across the street from it.



The event was fun today. There were some badass cars there. I took a few videos of them and I may post them up.
 
well, looking at the weather, looks like i'll be detailing sometime this coming friday thru sunday. if anybody wants to join in lemme know. i've got everything short of a pc at my house (some cheap orbital buffer). and a driveway that could support the cleaning of anywhere from 1-5 cars with ease.
 
I'm from Niles, MI and I drive an S2000. I'd love to hang out and detail with you guys. I'm busy Saturday but I could stop and help out Friday or Sunday. I have everything as well, including a 7424. PM your address and the time I could go over.
 
you're my new best friend clawhammer. btw, what color is your s2000?



and actually its looking like next thursday, June 1st weather permitting. I've got about 5 or so pontiacs lined up to come out here. I'll be grilling buffalo burgers for lunch as well. I think we're gonna start at around 10am. This isn't set in stone yet because I'm not sure if the weather will change, its supposed to rain thursday, if it does change then it will be on thursday if it doesnt then its gonna be wednesday, the 31st.



Any of you guys have powerwashers? I've only got the one and my other buddy had his crap out on him. So yeh, lemme know if next week is good for anyone.
 
well its official, thursday June 1st we will be detailing at my house.

Lunch will be buffalo burgers made and served by myself. We're gonna be starting around 10am.
 
Born in Charleston, SC, and have been in Granger since fifth grade. I own a Chili Red MINI Cooper S with straight pipes it's pretty obvious. LOL
 
Chili, are you planning on going to the meet? I'd really like to watch someone do a detail job with a 7424 (if you have one), I'm just a noob with it.
 
I've got a buddy that just ordered his the other day, he can do amazing work with one of those $30 pos buffers so I'm waiting to see the outcome with a PC in his hands. He'll have the cleanest car here and be giving his time to helping others with cleaning their cars up. :)



I'll try to keep my eyes peeled for that cooper, especially since there arent that many in this town.
 
I still need to order all the different pads for my 7424. I only have a polishing pad and a light cutting pad. I still need a finishing pad and a microfiber bonnet for mine. I've only experimented with it on my mom's Accord, and it was very streaky. It'd be great if I saw someone using it.
