Detailing as a part timer or side gig has it drawbacks and shortcomings, no doubt. But it also has its benies! I had the very gratifying pleasure of turning down a job. A neighborhood women with a Toyota mini-van that is really filthy dirty inside and out. I thought about it for a second and...

I just received a call from Steve's lovely wife, Judy, that Steve has been hospitalized (not planned) so he'll obviously be away from DC for the time being. I don't want to get into reasons, that is private and if he chooses to share it when he returns that will be his decision. Any prayers or...

I should know the answer to this but I'm just looking for some verification here. I want to get up to 3 layers of UPP on the wife's car before topping it so can I UPP after a QD session with Platinum QD? Natty

Took the wife's Taurus to the dealership last week because the "Service Engine Soon" lamp had come on. They determined that one cylinder was mis-firing due to a bad ignition wire. THe cure, new plugs and wires and their price $300.00 :eek: . We're talking a 6 cylinder Taurus here not a darn M...

Whew, taking the rotary skills to graduate school today and not even something that was planned. Subject A; a black Mercedes, the long beast that is like a towncar with a Mercedes emblem. Don't ask the number or model cause I don't recall. I think it was an S class. Subject B; a brand new...

Most users ever on-line was at 10:23 pm. Don't you people ever sleep? Natty

Here are a couple shots of a certain bright red F150 immediately after a torrential rain storm. THe last month or so we here in the northeast have been getting frequent, heavy rains. The product on the finish is Poorboy's Original Polish w/Carnauba...one day shy of one-month old. During the...

Local authorities in a small Pennsylvania community have reported seeing what is thought to be Boss_429. The latest sighting was alongside a trout stream just this morning. He is believed to be armed with massive amounts of detailing supplies and is considered a threat to even the dirtiest...

I'd like to offer my apology for a rather sarcastic comment I posted in a recent thread regarding the now infamous mini test. It was in poor taste and I'm not happy that I let myself get so into something that shouldn't be more than a peaceful hobby for me. I'm sorry if it bothered anyone else...

This last week of being on vacation really cleared my head and made me realize that something I love and have enjoyed so much as an escape, has morphed into more than what it should be for me. I am of course referring to detailing. For years detailing (more like washing and waxing) was an...

Howdy folks! Back from vaca and getting through 346 emails and countless posts. Wish I could say it was nice to be back but hopefully you'll understand if I say I wish I were still down at the NJ shore. Very relaxing and theraputic. Sorry to say my fishing plans fell through miserably :( ...

Cya in a few.

I know why I love detailing so much. The rewards of the job are immediate and oh so gratifying. This is my 2001 F150 Supercab. two year old paint, non-garaged and driven daily. Natty

Here ya go Dwayne. Just thought I'd make ya think twice about the Beemer. Natty

So what plans do you'all have for the 4th? I'llbe fly-fishing for a few hours in the morning then a beach party at a friends lake house. Natty

Here in the northeast we've had the rainiest spring I can ever remember. We'll surpass the rainfall record for the month of June before the weekend is out. Really putting a damper on business. I've had three cancellations in the last month or so due to weather. As a part timer the weather...

Since it was Father's Day I got to spend my time doing the things I love to do.....a morning of fly-fishing and afternoon detailing. The subject was my wife's 1996 Pacific Green Taurus (again:D ) and I wanted to do a little test (again :D ). Now I've used Poorboy's Pro Polish as a prep for UPP...

Finally got to try one of the Edge rotary pads I received from the online store here at DC. I purchased 4 pads in varying grades; yellow medium cut, green light cut polish, blue soft polish and white fine polish. The Edge pads have a flat surface with convex ends that completely surround the...

Howdy gang, I'm back from the hills of central PA limestone country. I'm a little water logged, not from wading the streams but more from the weather. Learned a couple things about rain gear; 1. You need it. 2. Cheap rain gear means you get wet. 3. If you wear a hat instead of using the...

Yep...did a Yahoo search for One-Grand Wax and DC was numero uno. Even higher than the One Grand Products home page. Boss_429 has me thinking about One Grand Omega Glaze. Damn that guy...every time I speak to him about detailing stuff it costs me money :D. Natty
