Mine was a white '66 Bel Air - 4dr. 283ci - 3spd on the floor. Bought it in 1978 for $350 and had no idea of how to drive stick. My cousin went with me to buy it and told me that he would drive it home and teach me how to drive it. (I was 17) As soon as I gave the guy the cash for the car my...

Did an '02 Silver Accord this last weekend between raindrops. It just DUMPED on Saturday which made for no before shots and washing the car in the rain....fun fun fun!! I did manage to get a few befores but nothing major. The car had spent a lot of time driving across country and was very rough...

Popped my cherry on my first Beemer last weekend. No big deal though. The customer takes really good car of it. (Yeah...a customer that actually does what they say they do) The paint was a little rough but most of that came out after claying. I was able to get away with just an AIO on a white...

I was doing a car this weekend (BMW X5) and after spraying the wheels with Megs WB I noticed that the rotors were dripping some of the brake dust off of them. I hosed them down, finished the rims and then the rest of the car. When all was said and done and I was taking the "after" pics I noticed...

I did my first mobil detail this weekend and was surprised by the attention it drew from the neighbors. Everyone in my neighborhood is pretty much numb to what I do anymore. There's always a different car in the shop getting polished....blah blah blah. This client Saturday couldn't be without a...

Hey guys, I had mentioned this detail earlier as something I was doing as a trade credit for my negihbor building me an accounting program and building and hosting my website. So here it is. The paint was fine, very rough to the touch but not as swirly as I thought it might be. He had asked...

I did a '98 Expedition this weekend. Black of course!! LOL!! When I picked it up on Friday night all the husband would say is "good luck". I told him that he would/should be impressed and surprised when I brought it back on Sunday. He just smiled and said "good luck". He and the wife both were...

*UGH* What a POS!! LOL!!! I did this car for some friends that were giving the car to their daughter that just got her license. This thing was TRASHED!! I took before pics of the outside but haven't got afters yets. I didn't finish till after dark and they had to come get it. I will get by...

Hey guys, My neighbor came over this weekend and asked if I would remove the "flames" off the side of his car. I went over and looked at them and they will just peel off. My plan is to use a blow dryer to heat them up and peel them off. Any residual adhesive will be removed with goo gone or...

Did another SUV this weekend. It seems like I am on a run of them lately. Not complaining by any means!! I has picked it up Friday night and told them how good of shape it was in. This is exactely why you don't but a car at night and exactley why you don't settle for whatever chick is left at...

Has anyone noticed a performance difference in the two? I am thinking about getting the 5 gallon jug for cost effectivness. It knocks the price from .21 per ounce to .12 per ounce. Thanks!!

I want to incorporate my forum name "Mose" into my business name....any ideas?

I was wondering if there are any problems with taking a few days to polish and wax a vehicle. If I polish it and then have to drive it the next day to work and back I know that I should ONR it before I wax........but is there anything else I need to do? It's time to do my Tundra again but I...

I am taking the in-laws Escape to Reno this weekend cuz it has 4WD. So I took it home last night and got a wild hair to do a quick detail on it. So I start with claying and it makes it a ton smoother. Then I go to polish. There are a ton of siwrl marks but I am not too worried about it cuz they...

I have a chance to get a Rug Doctor carpet cleaner for $100. Good working condition and all that. I only detail on the weekends and only one car per weekend. Do you think this would work for me? I want to do the best job possible but I just don't have $600-$900 to spend on an extractor!!

Hey guys, I am doing a '99 Tahoe/Champagne in color. I have hit the hood with clay/OP with LC yellow pad (even tried a Megs Maroon pad) and KAIO w/white LC pad. I can't get that "smooth" feeling to the paint that I have got with EVERY detail I have ever done! Any suggestions? p.s. I...

This car belongs to the owner of the green Tahoe I did a few weeks back. I did her brother's Tahoe and am doing her bosses Tahoe this weekend. I have never done a white car and hopefully won't ever have to do one again. It came out nice and clean but there's just not much you can do to white...

I took my fiance to a couples massage class last night for VDay. After the class I was talking to the instructor and telling her how glad I was that I decided to detail cars instead of become a massage therapist. Three guys overheard me and came running over to me asking me for business cards...

I was picking up some Megs products from a local dealer here and noticed that they had two yellow pads on the wall. I knew that I needed a couple more but really wanted to stay with my LC pads. I bought one of them and used it first thing on the Tahoe I just did. It didn't seem to cut as...

This is the first car I have done since my gall bladder surgery. Might have been pushing it a little!! Luckily Mr. Vicodin was around to get me through it!! :bigups The owner is the brother of a girl I did a Tahoe for a couple weeks ago and he was very excited for me to make his baby look...
