    Todays Detail, Black Burban

    The owner would not commit to my price given, so I gave them what they paid for: Trucks like these are very time consuming.......now add black. The original caller wanted a detailing estimate, so I gave her my starting fee schedule. She then called back and wanted to know when I was available...

I was so stunned at the offer, I didnt even ask what it entailed! I dont know if it was a wash or wash and wax...........I would think a wash tunnel...

    Todays detail, 91 BMW 525i (Black, yeah, again)

    I took this one on, without any pre-inspection. I dont know why I do this, (All the time) I guess the majority of details I do are not too close too home, and sometimes its just difficult to get over and take a good look. So last night when I confirmed the appt., I asked again what color it was...

    F-150 4x4, 05 VW Toureg, 07 335 i- 7 hrs later

    Long day to say the least. I started out with the F 150, which hadn't seen a detailer as long as I have known these fine folks. About 3 years now!

    How to improve your detailing efforts?

    Its obvious, the detailing "wheel" has a small offset. There is by no means, the perfect tool fo every aspect of detailing. (Or maybe Ive been living in my cave too long? Insert monkey joke here) What if any product, which is currently non-existant, would make your spring and summer detailing...

    Todays Detail, 03 RR Discovery

    This brought back a lot of painful memories of the last RR I did in Malibu a while back! The owner has had the neighborhood "possie" wash this quite a few times I believe. It took me some time to find a combo on this. I started with Optim Compound and an Orange pad, which did a fairly good job...

    Totally free tax prep and e-file?

    So my 19 yr old son went to the IRS.gov tax prep site to prepare and e-file his 06 taxes this evening. After 2 hours of entry, they want to charge him $25.00! That would be great if it was my tax prep and e-file, but to a 19 yr old, $25.00 is $25.00! Does anyone out there know of a site that...
