Anyone heading down to Orlando in January? I bit the bullet and and going this year since I haven't gone since 2005.

Had a customer come in with a really banged in front bumper on their Infiniti. Bodyshop wanted to just replace it but I figured I would give it a shot pulling it out. Turned out not bad Before After

I just bought a new MacBook and figured I would finally put some time into making some new content using an existing radio ad and some new software advertising gift certificates for the holidays. Let me know what you think

Just finished up a set of headlights for a customer and thought I would share the process here. The headlights were badly weathered and the UV coating had failed rendering them fairly cloudy. To repair these headlamps we first thoroughly washed and dried them with an all purpose cleaner...

Along the same lines as the other road paint removal we just did, we received this Ford Edge just covered in thick road paint. Probably the worst one I have ever had in the shop in 19 years. Literally had 4-6 hours of pressure washing to remove the thickest parts from the wheel wells and plastic...

We received this Dodge Durango last week that was unfortunate to have had it's owner drive through some fresh road paint coating the entire bottom of the truck, trim, wheels and wheel wells in a thick, yellow coat of paint. We pressure washed off as much as we could off the wheel wells, trim and...

We're doing a car for a dealer today that has had this car detailed at 2 shops already and still retains a strong smell of smoke despite paying for 2 full details + ozone treatments. These shops are the typical under cutter wholesale type guys and the first thing I did when I got the call was...

Hey guys I have a contact that is selling off some really good paint thickness gauages for a good price. I am not sure if it's allowed so I won't post the details but if anyone is interested they are going for $379.50 US and it is the ETG-1 paint thickness guage which is a really decent tool...

I hate hackers with a passion - unless I am getting paid the big bucks to fix their screw ups! Check out what some idiot did to this guys Porsche:

Comedian Tom Green was in the shop yesterday before he performed at the bar next door with his rap group. He was hamming it up so I snapped a few pics with my camera phone. He also was on the local news screaming "get your cars detailed at Scotty's Shine Shop" as he was being followed around by...

As requested from a few people that I have told about the wacko lady we had acost me at the shop this week, here are some screen captures from the security camera. Note the fervent waving of her perscription pill bottle at me also.

We get this once in a while but it still knocks me on my *** when we get someone calling for a price for......................are you ready? A hand car wash. We charge $15.00 for a car to hand wash and dry the exterior, clean the tires, wheels and wheelwells, dress the tires and buff the...

Got ya! I did polish my Ferrari...................laptop that is! Enjoy! Before:

Okay so I have finally finished half of my garage floor with the rustoleum epoxy floor paint kit. Unfortunately I have to do half at a time because my builder dragged his *** all summer on making repairs to his half *** drywall job (still isn't right :angry ) and it is too cold now to drag...

We had an interesting job in the shop this morning for a wash. 2002 Jetta in dark blue that had been just covered in some kind of weird fruit falling from a tree. The fruit splattered as it hit the paint and covered most of the hood, roof and trunk. We first pressure washed the paint thoroughly...
