Most of you have seen this car before. I polished it a few weeks ago. He wanted another coat of sealant to kick up the shine for a big show this weekend. He keeps the car very clean, so all I had to do was apply the sealant. I used Blackfire Wet Diamond and followed with Z8.

It's a 2003 Spiral Gray Corvette Convertible. Only 19,000 miles on it and the guy needed money. I got a great deal on the car, primarily because I used the word "Cash!!!" What's killing me is that I won't have the car for a week or so. He just moved here from Florida, paid off the Corvette...

She goes to car shows with me 2-3 times a week. She puts up with my obsessive compulsive behavior of having all the dash vents lined up and dust-free. She understands my anal retentive passion for detailing cars. She doesn't care that I have to clean the car windows before we go anywhere...

I was at a car show Friday night. I talked a guy who had just bought his first muscle car. It was a '68 big block Corvette in excellent condition... just needed detailing. I handed him one of my cards and stood there and talked to him and his wife for another 20 minutes or so. As I was...

As most of you know, I polish a lot of old cars. Corvettes, classics, muscle cars. One area that is always risky.... Am I going to go through the paint or clearcoat???:scared: I've learned to err on the side of caution with these older vehicles. I will usually tell the owner.."It may not be...

Does anyone know the time of the first pitch? I know the "hype" starts at 7:00pm Central, but I was wanting to skip that and just see the game!!! Anyone know?

A good friend of mine had his annual "Old Cars & Elvis Bash" tonight. Everyone was to drive their old cars to his house, have some burgers and brats and enjoy the entertainment of "Elvis".... But this was no ordinary "Elvis" impersonator. His name is Tarry Westley. He auditioned as a backup...

Last spring a guy called me and said that he had a '58 Chevy pickup that needed to be polished for a parade... ORIGINAL paint. The one thing I DIDN'T want to do is go through that original paint. So I was extremely careful. Heavy oxidation, and scratches. No swirls. Process: Washed with...
