This may seem elementary, but this is how I do it. (Besides, I like learning how other people do it differently!) These floormats had not been out of the car, not even vacuumed in over 3 YEARS! So they had Dirt, Mud, Winter Salt, Sand, gravel, etc. This is how they looked after I shook the...

Aaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh..... the old trusty Duster! I use it daily. No scratches. I use a light touch!!! This baby has some WEIGHT to it! Loaded with paraffin and dust... old and reliable! (Kinda like me!!! LOL):D

Convertible, T-Top, Sunroof or None of the Above? Do you prefer to be out in the fresh air? Or do you like the solitude of a nice quiet drive with the windows up without so much as a wind noise? I'm pretty much a "windows-down-tops-off" kind of guy.:thumbup: You?

Let's say you're not using an extractor or a steamer........ 1. Spot carpet cleaning? 2. Complete carpet cleaning? 1. For spots: I still use Spot Shot. Works very well. Also I use Purple Power 50/50 with water. 2. Overall cleaning: Woolite Heavy Traffic Carpet Cleaner with carpet...

And how much did you pay for it? (If you care to share that.) Mine was a 1961 Cadillac Coupe DeVille. White on White with TONS of miles on it. I paid $450 for it in 1970.:D This picture looks exactly like the one I had. Quite a car. (True, I wanted a Vette, but this was what I could...

I've been a NASCAR fan for about 10 years. Seems like every forum I go to, I'm kind of in the minority. Many more basketball, football or baseball fans than NASCAR. (But I've always been a bit of a Redneck! Haha LOL):D Beyond that... I like Jimmy Johnson, Carl Edwards and Jeff Gordon. That...

Strangest thing you ever found in a customer's car: For me.... A Complete McDonald's Hamburger, complete with the wrapper, hard as a rock. Under the passenger seat. It wasn't smellin' real good in that car!!!:tongue:

Oooohhhhh, that title is so deceptive. Sorry about that! Kansas City Bar-B-Que. Still the best I've ever had!:D Memorial Day weekend leftovers......:o BEFORE: AFTER:

When did you know that detailing would be your passion? I have always loved cars. When I was a kid, I fell in love with Trans Ams and Vettes. Every car I owned had to be kept immaculate.... so I guess it was from the day I bought my first car! Was there a specific event that kicked off your...

I try to be very careful when it comes to changing the oil in my vehicles. Always trying to be compliant with current environmental rules, I put down a thick (old) comforter to catch any renegade drips and make a soft surface for the "big guy" to lay on while changing the oil. My son, on the...

There are many lessons to be learned in detailing and in life. Most of them are from personal experience. I'll start off with one of my favorite lessons learned: You get what you pay for. (Been burned a few times!) I've learned to spend the extra few bucks. If you buy the best, you'll...

Just wishing everyone a wonderful holiday weekend. :D What plans do you have? I think I might do a little of this: And possibly a little of this: And maybe even some of this: Looks like a beautiful weekend here in KC. Have a great one!!!:D

After carefully looking over his car, then glancing over at me.... sweaty, a little buffing dust on my shirt and arms, but with a satisfied smile on my face.... the customer says: "So let me get this straight. For you, it's not really like work; It's more like sex.":w00t: I was in the middle...

A good friend of mine wanted his C6 polished so he gave me a call. He is about as anal as I am, so, as I expected, the car was immaculate when I got it! There were so few swirls, I couldn't even get good camera shots of them. So most of these pics are "after" shots. 1. Z6 wipedown 2. M205...

OK, just for fun, I thought I'd start a "Favorite Movie Lines" thread. I saw a couple movie line references in another thread. Some of my favs: The Dark Knight: "Do I look like a guy with a plan?":D Ferris Bueller's Day Off: "I did not achieve this position in life by having some snot-nosed...

This customer brought me this '59 Vette this morning. He was as nervous as a cat! He explained to me that the paint was single-stage enamel that was painted in 1984. He was urging me to "Err on the side of caution." I agreed. It was covered with swirls. He said it hadn't been polished...

When I'm doing a full detail, sometimes it can be overwhelming if the car is really trashed..... especially if I'm working under time constraints! So she does my QA/QC check. I will occasionally overlook a minor detail that she immediately sees. You know... "2 sets of eyes...." The one item...
