http://www.detailcity.org/forums/search.php?searchid=493663 I did a search on scratch removers (link above). In many of the responses, detailers say that such products may not remove deep scratches. Just how deep is "deep"? On a scratch that I have on the dark red paint of my car, I can...

I hope I'm not repeating what may already be known, but one of DC's pictures (at the bottom of the page) still says DetailCity.com. Charles

A reader from one of The Motley Fool's discussion boards has a question about repairing the decal on his RV, and I asked him for permission to post his letter here. He agreed, so here's his post: From "GoofyHoofy": While in storage my RV sits in the hot Tennessee sun all season. As it turns...

Just won the Academy Award for Best Picture. I'm so happy! Charles

I went to the grocery store yesterday, and parked next to an SUV that was in otherwise good condition. But the wheels! The wheels were rusted something awful. The outer rims had pitted rust, and the inner rims (how in heaven's name to clean THOSE?) were completely rusted. I wish I'd had my...

I'm putting out the feelers for a detailing meet this year. I live in Maryland, so I'd be interested in attending one in my state. But I'd prolly be able to bring the wife with me to one outside of MD. :rofl What say you? Charles

Same questions, directed to the remote owners - those who own a trailer or who operate from home: If a customer comes to you and just wants a hand wash, for say, $20 - $25, would you take on the job? Or would you refer him to someone else? Charles

You own a professional detailing shop. You've got a building, bays, equipment, employees, insurance, all manner of overhead. If a customer comes in and just wants a hand wash, for say, $20 - $25, would you take on the job? Or would you refer him to a shop down the street? Charles

I can't get through to Detail City. I hope it hasn't been hacked again. Charles

Some of you may remember my previous thread, "I Want A Calendar". I'd placed a small order but when it arrived the calendar (which I wanted more than the order itself) was ruined due to an unknown leakage.:image The Fuzz made a bet: Well, you'd better not have done that, 'cause Dwayne...

Let me tell you why. I've had my car for 14 months. I've detailed my car just once since I've had it. I've QD'ed in-between. I really haven't had to do much else to keep the car clean. Last week it snowed, and I had to drive in its aftermath. You know the scene: the roads have been plowed...

Last year I placed a LOT of orders with the various sponsors of this message board. One of them gave me a really cool 2005 with pics of hot cars for each of the 12 months. I forgot which of the sponsors sent me the calendar. But I want one for 2006. As I don't have the cash that I had last...

A reader on The Motley Fool has a problem: his car was vandalized by someone dumping a whole quart of blue latex paint onto the roof of his white car. They even left the can. He tried to clean it off, but his roof is now a light blue color. People have recommended that he clay his car to...

As DC has undergone a recent trauma, I decided to wait before alerting Dwayne about this one. Since the board looks to be in very good shape now, here goes: I can't get a score to post to my account in the Mahjongg Solitaire game. I think there's another game out there with the same problem...

I've never heard anyone mention this. Is it a good thing to clay the windshield and windows (sunroof)? Or is it a waste of product? Charles
