They have a magazine for everything else and I was just wondering if any of you have seen a magazine for Automotive Detailing.
Thanks.

hey man i was wondering the same thing. I was then thinking, this would not be a good idea. If the magazine was to good, it may put the detailers out of business. People can then do it themselves. but then again some of those people wouldnt ever dare of doing such work.

There are a couple of them out there...I have had a few issues arrive at my door from time to time in the past. Do a search, I think this has been talked about a couple times(?).

Detailer`s Digest is another good one in a newspaper type format. It comes out quarterly, 15.00 a year.

I get Professional Carwashing & Detailing. It is alright, but mostly geared to the coin-op and large car washing businesses. Probably only 5-6 devoted to detailing. Still, it is worth getting to keep up on the business side of detailing.

I had a free 5 month subscription to Professional Carweashing nd Detailing. Wish it did cover detailing more.
I think that detailers are more or less quiet about secrets that got them to the top. You see this way it will take the struggling detailer his whole life to find the tricks of the trade. Jeez, what`s new?
