    Clearcoat peel/chip

    A silver 08 M3 came in the other day asking if we could fix a silver-dollar-sized 'hole' in his clear coat. It was obvious clear coat failure but the rest of the car looked stellar. I doubt this was a typical rock chip as it was very far toward the back of the hood. Is this something that i can...

    Foam cannon for low GPM 1500 psi PW?

    My autogeek foam cannon works great in my gas powered 2500PSI, 5GPM pw, but when I attach it to my electric one which is only 1500 psi and about 1.5 GPMs it doesn't foam up as well, is there a better choice?

    paying employees

    Have a theory on paying employees $30.00/day for just showing up, then 10% commission per invoice on completed gigs. I'm just thinking that the $30 would motivate them enough to get to work, even if they are sitting on their phone all day until a car comes.

    ts|s Detailing: 2013 Camaro 1LE, Dealership Rescue Mission

    The owner of this vehicle was very unimpressed with the dealership's $1800 prep package. Yes, I said $1800. The package included dealer installed swirls and the sloppiest leather conditioning you'll ever see. The owner argued the price out of the purchase agreement before bringing the car home...

    if you build it, will they come?

    There are a lot of new developments in my area, most of them are retail/restaurant zoned. How does one go about procuring a shop? and as the title states, will a shop bring customers just because it exists or would there need to be significant advertising done? Does being in/around new...

    flex cord is acting up

    Sometimes my flex da will shut off if I bump the cord where it meets the body, I then have to giggle the cord or twist it a few times until it works. This happens frequently during a pass and I've since just given up on the machine., seems like an easy fix, but would like some pointers

    BFWD on Collinite 845 on 205 = fail?

    a few months ago I bought a black silverado, polished it to mirror finish (m105/205) and topped it with collinite 845 via DA. I put the 845 right on without doing a complete alcohol wipe of the whole truck. I noticed some oily streaking as days passed and decided a wash later to put some BFWD on...

    shop flexing some precision muscles

    Why make 2 different cars when you could have 1 do all of your marketing for you? Look past the silly half and half theme to how incredibly precise they maintained each side's individual theme-down to the air intake/engine design Jekyll-and-Hyde 1968 Chevy Camaro will make you look more than...

    pages are jump-scrolling when i load them

    i'm on Safari 5.1.5 on Mac OS 10.6.8. Everytime a page loads, or reloads, it scrolls do the bottom, almost like it's forcing me to view an ad down there. Sometimes it scrolls to the middle of a page.
