This 1956 Chevrolet Corvette is owned by a gentleman who lives near my aunt and uncle in Grand Rapids, Michigan. While I do not typically do mobile detail work, my uncle offered to open their garage for my use on this special project and I simply couldn't pass up the opportunity. As with any...

IFO vs. EFO - A new way of thinking about contamination I got to thinking the other day while using IronX on a car that perhaps we've been missing the mark in terms of categorizing finish contaminants as they relate to detailing. As we all know, IFO stands for Industrial Fall-Out, which is a...

There has been some mention of interest in a detailing meet this summer, so I thought I'd start a thread to see if we can decide on a good time/date and location, and also see how many people would show up. Two of the major events in Michigan for the summer, the Concours d'Elegance of America...

Anyone else unable to start a new thread or reply to a PM? Earlier it was just affecting me being able to post a new thread in the product reviews section, but now I get "Meta Redirect Code" even when trying to reply to a PM from Dwayne about the issue :wall Happens on two separate computers...

So I'm sure most everyone is familiar with the fact that the G110v2 has been on manufacturer back-order for months now, and just recently became available again at some of the bigger distributors. Well, I ordered one during Autogeek's recent 15% off sale and it came in today. On the box...

I'm BAAAAACK! :shocked: To all the old-timers who remember me, :wavey And to those who don't, :sadwavey: :biggrin1:

Did Dwayne sell DC or something? :huh: I'm confused.

Well, the time has come for me to update my tools for the upcoming detailing season. Years of customer details are starting to take their toll on my PC, so it's getting retired to "emergency backup only" duty. This way I don't wear it out completely, and I still have it available if I absolutely...

Yesterday I was doing some work on my "shop truck," a 2002 GMC Envoy, and I discovered something that got me rather upset. About a year ago, I was rear-ended, and as a result the truck went into the body shop. While there, I also had them fix some bad paint that had been sprayed on before I...

Seems like lately I've been getting a bunch of no-shows for detail appointments; people who call, sound really enthused about getting the job done, and then I never hear from them again. It seems to me that people could at least have the courtesy to call and cancel if they aren't going to be...

....a customer doesn't pick up their vehicle? I've got a nice '05 Chevy Silverado crew cab truck sitting in my driveway right now, that I've been waiting now for two days for the owner to come and pick up. While it's nice to have it sitting there with signs in it advertising my business, it is...

...has been bought out by Black and Decker! :eek: Anyone else hear anything about this? I wonder what this will mean for all of us using PCs, and/or with Meguiar's and their G100? I sent a buddy of mine over to Lowe's earlier because he wanted to pick up a 7336SP, and that's what he was told...

I just got this email from one of my regular customers: :surrender :eek: :surrender Any ideas/input on what to do in response to this? I'm calling her tomorrow morning to find out what she's talking about. Right now I'm thinking urine-gone and a couple odor bombs would do the trick, but what...

Does anyone else use S100 Engine Brightener? I've been using it for a while now, and I really, really like it when compared to CD2 and/or Meg's Engine Kote. It's a bit more expensive, but I think it looks and works very well when it comes to having a nice even coat on the engine, and it lasts...

Today I worked on a black 2006 Trailblazer SS, and also took some time to teach the owner some things about proper care. The truck was only 5 weeks old, and had 1600 miles on it; so it really wasn't in TOO bad of shape. However there were some things wrong with the 3M clear film on the rockers...

This may seem like a strange question, but is there anywhere I can purchase just the little rubber bump-stop (or cushion pad, if you prefer) pieces for installing a hood shield? I need to take mine off for the body shop to do some work next week, and I have yet to find replacements, even looking...

Wow, I just got lucky.... So I'm sitting at work, and my boss comes running in saying that there's black smoke comming from the building/parking ramp where I always park when I'm here. So, of course, I went to investigate. As it turns out, there was a car about 20-25' from where mine was parked...

I've got a guy comming tomorrow with a Mazda MX-6 (he's going out of town and I'll have the car sitting around for a week or so) he just bought and wants it reconditioned. He said the drivers' seat side bolster is starting to come apart at the stitching (apparently right on the seam) and wants...
