    Logo design...

    I've been playing with some ideas for a logo over the past couple months on and off... I want something recognizable and something that can go from artistic (flyers, graphics, etc.) to something classy for business cards (I plan on having 2, one like the current one I have, seen here & here, and...

    Detailing videos...

    There are many out there and on nearly every subject, yet somehow every day there's a post or e-mail asking for a video of this and that, etc. So, with that in mind, in addition to me wanting content for my site so clients can easily find it and learn about proper automotive care and...

    M105 overused?

    I spoke with a friend regarding this after I noticed it more and more on the forums and wanted the opinion of others... It seems to me that M105 has become the 'go-to' polish for pretty much any 2-step correction and more and more, for the lack of a better word, noobs are using it... now...

    M80!

    I just wanted to express my thanks to Meguiar's for making M80 and beg them to keep making it!! I've been using it this year (past 1.5-2 months) every single detail on the rotary for everything from 1 to 4 step and I've been reminded of how much better it is, at least for me, than the Meznerna...

    Clay bar...

    I've always used clay magic blue and red and sometimes Meg's smooth surface but I'm wondering how do the Meg's 2 clay bars (blue and red as well IIRC) compare to the Clay Magic? I'm asking because I find the cm bars hard to knead while smooth surface is very very easy, so figured the other...

    Worst paint...

    Does anyone else have that car or manufacturer they absolutely hate working with? I really really hate VW paint! For some reason 99.9% of the time, whether it's a 05 Touareg or 03 Jetta, the paint just seems to screw with me no matter what I try... the defects that appear shallow, turn out...

    Meg's APC+ on paint...

    Somewhat of a noobie question... I just figured I'd satisfy my curiosity as I really have no time to search (headed to do a detail right now)... How safe is APC+ for paint, when used 8:1 or less, maybe even 10:1? I have a car that took a bath in tar and after trying a few things this...

    Cancellation fee...

    Does anyone else charge a cancellation fee or take a deposit on a detail? I started this last year due to a few bad apples cancelling the night before, leaving me with an empty day... since I detail on weekends only it means a lot of I can't schedule anyone else for that day. So anyone...

    2009 C63 and 2008 C4S...

    Lately I've had no time to post photos from details but these two cars were an exception... both C63 and C4S belong to a member of 6speedonline and were done in the same day with a light 1-step polish and protection with KSG... both were in great shape, to my surprise, and came out perfect...

    Products overhead...

    I might be doing some sort of partnership with a audio/video shop and was wondering if some of the pros here with fixed locations can PM me, or post here, prices for everything used during a detail, plus an avg. price for insurance monthly... I don't have a detail scheduled for another 2 weeks...

    My detailing process...

    I'm not sure if this is the right section, so admins please feel free to move it wherever you see best fit... I posted this on a couple other forums already and people found it informative, so hopefully it helps out someone here as well... Everything I post is something I’ve done...

    1Z polishes...

    I would like to hear from a very experienced user(s) the comparison of 1Z polishes (IP, HGP, FF) to Menzerna's PG, SIP, 106ff... I'm very disappointed with SIPs performance in higher heat/humidity (seems like humidity is what kills it) and I've heard quite a few times that 1Z performs much...

    Another Porsche...

    Cayman S this time, belonging to a forum member (he got in touch with me through the forum. Thanks Autopia!) Luckily, no previous work done. Came out pretty much perfect, with exception of couple deep indentations in the paint from deeper scratches. Wash: Meg's Gold Class, wheels got wheel...

    Another 911...

    Another bad case of a previous detailing job, but even worse than the last one I corrected. Finish looked and felt like they used #85 and wool for hours. Unfortunately I couldn't get it to 100% as I didn't want to polish too much, not knowing what was previously done on the soft paint, so...
