    Who offers air fresheners with their detail jobs? If so what kind?

    Just curious... I was thinking about ordering a kit from Wonder Wafers. Personally I am in love with their Jasmine scent and thought it might be a nice addition to my services. What do you use for air fresheners if anything?

    Mercedes S430 full massage.. black paint and with a twist! (long story, lots of pics)

    Well.. in all honesty this car kicked my butt! I was ready for smooth sailing but turns out this car had maaaaaaajor issues. I ordered some 106FF specifically for this car (which cost a grip by itself and 3day shipping) which ended up not doing the trick for me. I originally saw this car...

    Business names...

    What do you guys think of "Black Magic Detailing" ? Would that name be too controversial? Long story short.. I had a really good friend of mine that owned a shop called "Black Magic Motorsports", he passed away a few years ago due to illnesses (along with medical malpractice) and...

    FS: Minolta MAXXUM 300si SLR Camera.

    This is a 35mm camera that my inlaws gave us a while back. It takes great photos and has never had any issues. This camera is well beyond my knowledge of how to use it. When I want to take pictures and print them out then this is the camera I always grabbed for. My wife and I are looking to...

    Clay Magic BLUE.... for customer details?

    Is the blue Clay Magic clay strong enough to use on customer detailing? I used to use Pinnacle Poly Clay (Yellow) and loved it... however its discontinued in their attractive bulk pack. Now it costs $15 for just the 3oz bar... too much. I noticed on the ACC site the Clay Magic pack of 100gram...
