Why do Explorers alwasy look SO bad? They always seem to be the most beat up vehicle on the road when they get brought in to be detailed!! :spit: Picked this one up Friday morning (After an especially "fun" Thrusday night) and knew I was in for some work! I had quoted the guy at a family get...

This kid used to live with the family next door. He has got to be the shyest person on the planet! He never makes eye contact with you, he won't come ask me a question without his girlfriend and just isn't very outgoing at all. He's a nice kid...it just wierds me out when people are like that...

I ended up with this detail cuz my original detail cancelled on me at the last minute. Wasn't too happy about it but life goes on!! This one was for my Father in law. Mom had bought him a detail for Father's Day and he was more than happy to fill in my cancelled weekend! He buys all his...

SoI finally got some Black Wow in hoped of replacing the PB Trim Restorer that I have used since I started detailing. Went home, followed the instructions and applied it before washing. Let it sit while I detailied the wheels and wells of the Tundra. Washed the truck and ran my Vroom drying...

Disappearing Car Doors: A Revolutionary Concept in Car Technology & Design

Sent out a teaser last week and am here to give you the money shot!! LOL!! Got this one from the last that manages the Java City that I visit in the mornings. She had lived in an apartment for a while (now lives in a house and parks in the garage) so there were a lot of water spots from...

I put up this teaset earlier in the week and a question just popped into my pointed little head. http://www.autopia.org/forum/click-brag/108151-teaser-black-charger.html Should I polish out the spots with the scratches before I fix them or after? I know I will have to sand and polish the...

Truck strarted out as a worktruck so it had to normal scratches and swirls in it. This was an exterior only detail so I didn't have to worry about the inside. The top had never been waxed so it took a little more polishing than the rest but it came out pretty nice! Got the truck Friday night...

I have this one coming up the weekend of the 21st. It belongs to the manager at the coffee shop I stop at in the mornings. She used to live in an apartment complex and has since moved to a house. The whole passenger side of the thing is covered in water spots. I am supposed to fix the scratches...

Softball buddy of mine wanted his "Taco" cleaned up. Pretty clean truck...normal swirls, some scratches....interior was pretty clean. Some water staining on the seats but most of them came out with extraction. I own a Tundra and really like it....but this was a nice little truck! I am 6'5"...

Anyone use both? Any feedback on how they compare?

This one came to me from a guy who I talk to all the time at the local coffee house before work every morning. He's a nice guy, very friendly and has wanted this detail to happen for a while. We finally got it scheduled and he was nice enough to drop it off Friday night so that it was there...

This one belongs to a fellow Autopian, Nicko916, who contacted me though the website. I was fortunate enough to get a hold of him, quote the job and schedule it for Memorial Day weekend. He showed up a little late on Saturday due to his dad being in a rain caused fender bender. Thankfully...

I just changed the bag on my shop-vac and, as I was dropping it into the garbage, I heard some jingling. So I opened the bag and found $1.13 in change that I had sucked up from under seats and stuff!! It got me to thinking about starting a piggy bank with the change I find in cars. I am not...

Did these for the customer whose F150 I just did. I am not crazy about the before and after pics at all. I didn't have my laptop when I took the "afters" so I couldn't remember what I had taken "before" pics of.......:o So, while they may not match and the bulk of the pics don't really show...

Hey guys, I just got an order in from Autopia with my purple wool/foam pads and am very anxious to use them. I was thinking about which of the cars I had coming up that I could use them on and something hit me. In the past, with CCS pads, I haven't ever worried about paint thickness. With...

Was thinking about trying just a regular paint gun with my compressor instead of the OP Spray Gun....Has anyone used this item or used anything else that worked? This is to apply the Opti Bond Tire Gel........Thanks!!

Got this one from a softball buddy. Showed up pretty swirled....worse than some but not as bad as others....you know the drill!!:cooleek: Interior was pretty normal for a couple with kids. Here's my process: Wash w/Dawn Wheels got Megs WB Wells and tires got Megs DG Dried with leaf...

This one was a labor of love for me. The owner is someone I have known for a while and is a fellow softball player. She is a pitcher (like me) and at the end of last year took a line drive in the face from some douchebag using a "shaved" bat. There was extensive damage done (details are...

I have been doing a lot of switching lately. Trying to find a clay that I like. I know that I am not impressed with the Megs Medium Clay. The only one that I have found that I am somewhat impressed with is the DP clay. Could someone please give some feedback? Thanks!!
