    Todays G35 detail, rain, a few new products..

    I did get to sample a few of the SCG products today. I didnt however, feel comfortable trying any wax/sealant/glazes on a car I wont be able to monitor. So I only used a limited amount of products from Surf City. A couple new products I tried today. One was the White Knight Power stick. A...

    Rigid vac dilemma

    I was literally forced to purchase a new Rigid vac the other day. I couldnt find a replacement filter for my older model (about 4 years old). Even the one Rigid recommended (for all 3-5 Gal Vac's), was too large. It wouldnt seat properly, so the next step up was a more durable HEPA filter which...

    Todays detail, 04 GMC Z71

    I had my hands full today, and my buddy was right when he said "rest up, its a challenge". He told me via email it had some water spotting which didnt budge with his PC and Optimum Polish (not unusual, OP is much too gentle for that). When I arrived, I was greated by his housemaid with such...

    Todays Carrera detail, and I need a new camera.

    60 miles round trip for this one. All in about a 6 hr day. The client went on the explain there was some body work done on the right rear hip and upper frame of this beauty, a short time ago. I have to admit, Porsche did an excellent job, with the exception of the post cleanup. Although moderate...

    Todays detail, 04 Saab 93, 100k+ miles

    This Saab makes trips to the L.A. airport, daily. Its seen some rough frwy miles, and the paint really showed some clouriness and swirls after cleaning. I didnt even realize it had pearl in it until I had it all polished. Before: After some FS BS LCC, orange pad, UDM. Not 100% removal...

    New client with a car for the "weekends".....

    So I get this email from a potential customer saying he needs some work done on his Acura TL. I say not a problem, and ask all the particulars via emails. He sends me this link saying he would also like me to see what I can do for him regarding his "weekend" car. I run to the link andlook at...

    Todays detail: JC, your UDM'd 05 G35 is ready

    The owner of this G happens to work at an auto dealership. The young man was turned on to a product one of the detailers recommended, for removing water spots. Well without proper direction or mixing instructions, he elected to give it a go. It appeared to have been an acid base product which...

    Your Ol reliable (Ya just keep going back to product)

    This thread inspired a thought. Is there one particular product, that in light of all the recent releases, you just keep going back to? It could be a polish or a sealant, or even a wax. Just a quick answer and rational. For me its Four Star UPP, as a sealant. Im still playing with FS BS...

    Another new Porsche client, who just happens to own a BLACK Carerra S. The owner purchased this used from a dealer. He expressed to the dealer he didnt want any prep work done before pickup. Its one of those "Die if I do, Die if I dont". This poor carerra had been exposed to sprinklers for some...

    I had a call from a client of mine who I had recently set up with some products, including a PC, FS BS LCC, MCC and FS UPP. He was just starting to get into some paint corrections on his girlfriends ION, and decided it was worth a call to see if I could walk him through the process real quick...

    Todays detail, Black Carerra S, UDM, OS.

    This is a new client of mine. He had previously had some detailers come out, and well, there results didnt meet with his approval. The first guy apparently used a machine of some sort. I showed him the PC but he said it didnt look familiar, so I can only assume it was a Wen or Waxmaster, or a...

    Todays detail: Cant they all be like this?

    After a run of larger vehicles, and black vehicles, this 06 GMC Yukon, was a welcome change. Skies were overcast for about 90% of the detail, although a little humid. Pics arent too too vivid my son changed the settings on his cam to conserve a little space. Overall, the GM paint was really in...
