A regular customer of mine is a lawyer with a black Caddy .. It wasn't freezing up here today so I did a wash for him. I usually return it and park it at his brothers hotel parking lot .. As I was parking it his brother who I approached months ago stopped me and asked to do his 04 silver M300...

Well I just did my last full detail for the season. It was just in the low 40s, I'll do a few washes yet but thats about it till March. Anyway to the story. I do a lawyers car every so often and it is a pig pen. 2000 Audi and the paint is a mess and non recoverable but he likes it...

I have a buddy with a 02 Black Passat that is looking for a detailer in the Pasadena area close to the 91101 area code. I have seen pix of it and it has very minor swirling , prolly DACP/white pad or #80. No glazes with fillers etc .. then a sealant and possibly a topper. He shows this car...

I just went to Vancouver ( Delta actually ) and saw NXT in Lordco .. None in Canadian Tire .. Now get this .. Lordco prices it at $40.+ The NXT wash was $17 and in Walmart in Wash state its just over $14 for the NXT and $6+ for the wash. And you wonder why we whine up here. Best...

In the last year or so I have been entering my car on some of the local shows. These shows do get some high end stuff ( $350,000 US ) hot rods and a lot of other really nice stuff. Since I have become a bit of an Autopian the first thing I do is not only look at the car but at the paint...

One of my friends gave me 2 Eagle One 16 x 24 really nice grey MF towels he picked up at a GoodGuys car show. These towels are very plush and soft .. made in Korea .. they are excellent for steak free drying .. I tried them for removing #16 and SG .. worked excellent. I washed them .. came...

With SG and my black car I have always had problems with hazing and streaking mind you a spritz of water takes it off but that may mess up the cross linking. Anyway today I did my moms Cavallier and I did the wash/clay/AIO then thought about Wolfgang but figured what the heck. I...

Well I don't have any pictures to brag about but I did a freebee yesterday. To give you some background every day at around lunch I walk my dog over in a park. Very often we meet up with 2 ladies that work in a grocery store here and we walk with them. The store they work is is one of...

I have a white Civic to do Thursday and I am sure ( but not positive ) its base/clear but it looks really oxidized and chalky dull. Any suggestions? I have #83/#80/ AOI / ColorX / Menzerna twins etc . I was thinking #80 on a yellow pad followed by ColorX , They just want it cleaned up...

I did a nice one today .. 65 Impala 396 4 speed. Needed nothing more than Speed Glaze followed by SFP then NXT.

Anyone ever hear of / try this stuff.. Someone is pushing it over in the VWVortex detailing forum. Making it sound like pH balance and surficants are something particulat to the product. At $8 a bottle and if your a frequent washer its going to be expensive Here is the link Stage 1

I did this jag today .. looked good from 5 feet but up close there was a lot of scratching where someone wiped the snow/dirt off the hood and same withthe trunk and the top of the rear bumper .. I did the following 1) wash/clay 2) DACP / yellow pad on all the horizontal surfaces 3)...

2 weeks ago I washed the 04 Caddy that is one of my regulars. This time of the year is bad here for river moths and the stick like glue even if you wash them off the same day. I had noticed when I used WG on the nose of mine the bugs washed off really easy up to a few days after...

I have an 03 Black jag scheduled for Friday .. very good condition .. minor swirling .. Was thinking . 1) Clay 2) #82 3) Wolfgang Anything I should watch out for? . This is my first *English* car to do. BTW the swirling is from the *generic* detailer in town and thier $8/hr...

I have only been doing upper end cars locally here for a little bit with the idea to build a small clientel for semi annual detailing and scheduled washing. Mostly busnessmen who are too busy ( or as one lawyer put it .. too lazy ) to take care of thier cars. Recently the local GM dealer...

Anyone know who in CanaDUH will Parcel Post ship 1Z polishes. I get 2 reasons why they won't ship.. 1) 1z doesn't want products shipped region to region ( I guess to protect territories) 2) Can't be shipped Parcel Post because it is flamable. As much as I would like to be...

Did a neat car today for a car show buddy .. It had some issues with the clear where in a few placed it looked like the clear did not flow out properly .. sort of looked like the effect you get at the end of a rattle can stroke. I used a yellow pad and some Turtle wax rubbing...

Did Last Touch Spray Detailer ( D-15501 ) directly replace Final Detail ( D-5101) ? Same composition? I liked FD but won't bother to track down LT if its not the same.
