Here is a break up detail here in Fairbanks. Nice green Chevy Silverado. I used a swirl-o-matic car wash to get the chunks off. Then used Poorboy’s S&W to clean it up for the detail. The owner was interested in getting rid of the accumulated swirls on the vehicle. I believe that I did just...

Well I think that the Master's is going to be one of the great tournament endings ever. The top five golfers in the world are all in striking distance of the title. With a young Texan thrown into the fray. Then throw in an old duffer that is playing well and the mix should be of historic...

As I was reading a thread about wash mitts with or without cuffs this thought occured to me. How many DC member actually put there hand inside the mitt when using a wash mitt? Wether it is sheepskin or MF? I know that with the fat hands that I have it was a pain to try and wiggle in and out...

Hey Steve, Just thought that I would let you know that the PwS is a keeper. Did a four or five year old silver Toyota Suv this morning using the PC and polishing pad. It made quick work of a dull finish. Used EX on top of that to complete the detail. Everything worked great. Used trim...
