It's been a long while since I've posted pics, but we finally replaced our stolen digital camera. The better part of my day today was spent detailing this 2003 Ford Expedition with a whopping 74,000 miles already on the clock. Over time, 3 giant black labs and countless trips have taken...

Recently I've been searching for a high-end digital camera, namely the Canon Digital Rebel XT. I see these in stores for about 1k, but after searching on Amazon.com, I've seen many below that price. In fact, I saw a brand new one for $500 here (scroll down a bit) Should I think about buying...

Though a rotary will make quick work of nasty polishing jobs, putting money toward a purchase of one is not practical for me right now. So, it looks like the PC will see all the polishing action for the time being. I know a lot of you guys detail for $ and only have a PC; what are your go-to...

I have a few questions for you. Come September, it'll be time for me to get my first car. I've contemplated everything from a Jeep Wrangler to a Silverado to an Integra. Since evaluating the practicality of each, my parents and I have narrowed it down to the Integra. My dad has owned 3...

Just wanted to take an inventory of how regularly you guys buy stuff online. And most of the time, are purchases fueled by a need for a product or just an impulse to buy something? What do you see yourself having to replenish/keep buying the most? Oh yeah, one more thing. How do you hide...

Most of you guys detail for cash. Where does all your profit go? Bills? More detailing supplies? Car upgrades? I haven't had the opportunity to enjoy much profit, but that will hopefully change in the near future.

I'm thinking of making a website and I'd like to know who some good hosts are. The only one I can think of right now is GoDaddy.com, are there other inexpensive but quality hosting sites? Thanks.

I got a call today from a new customer who has a black BMW 645. It's less than a year old. The call was to schedule a wash and wax and begin a weekly wash regimen. I'd like to talk her into a full detail first, then weekly washes with a new coat of wax every 2 to 3 weeks. The customer...

The new flyer I spread around the neighborhood states "Drop your car at my home or I will come to yours!" This obviously pertains to customers in my neighborhood as I don't have a car. So until September, I need some sort of cart to transport my equipment to jobs. What would you suggest...

A lot of you guys (I think Scottwax was the first to do it) have a certain format when titling your threads in click & brag. You'll put something like "Today's detail v. X car." What does the "v." stand for? Versus:? (it can't be THAT bad, can it?) Vehicle:? I have no beef against you...

When you detail any car (from a Ford Escort to an S500), what are your preferences product-wise? Do you use mostly "botique" products or pro products? (Auto Magic, Hi-Temp, Pro, etc.) I'm about to restock everything for the summer, and I was wondering which type I should use for each...

Well, I'm proud to say it's time for my second ever online product order (hard to believe, huh?). So far, the only abrasive polish I've used is SSR2.5. It's a wonderful product, it does everything it claims to do, but the stuff dusts like there's no tomorrow. I was doing a black Q45 yesterday...

We have an '03 Chevy Tahoe I clean on a regular basis. Every time I wash I clean the tires with Simple Green, scrub with a tire brush, the whole deal. Come time to put dressing on the tires, there are some spots that don't take well to it, so the job always ends up splotchy. It doesn't matter...

A few questions for you. Since seeing Intercooled's beautiful '87, I've been researching them as a first car for me (yeah, I know, a bit farfetched). What I'm wondering is how practical these are for daily driving. Any idea of reliability, insurance rates, maintainence, etc.? My uses for one...

As we all know, iPods are THE thing to have nowadays. God bless Apple and the brilliant people who come up with this stuff, I envy them like none other. I've bought into their computers with enormous satisfaction, and now I have some serious thoughts about picking up an iPod. The ease of use...

Well, it's about that time for me to start scouting out my first car. I'm looking for something I can detail out of efficiently and go offroading in on the weekends. That narrows it down to a truck, obviously. In particular, I'd like a *deep breath*1998.5-2002 Dodge Ram Quad Cab 4x4 Cummins...

Who's your favorite present-day NASCAR driver?

Any guitar playing Autopians? If you play, let's see some pics your axes! I personally have a 2003 Taylor 314kce summer ltd. edition. It's my pride and joy. Check it out here. How do you think a few layers of Natty's will look on that back? :cool:

I've been checking these out, and they are very appealing. All the aspects of a sporty car with a pickup bed for detailing stuff. I like it, do you? Check some out...
