I'm sure most of you are familiar with Jeremiah Trotter, the middle linebacker for the Eagles. In this weeks Sports Illustrated, he and his businesses are featured. Apparently he owns 3 car washes and a salon in NJ. Here's the article (the car wash part): On the car wash A friend of mine...

I know those Ram SRT-10s are running up in the $40k range, but I think 3 mil is a bit much. :D http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=31831&item=4525857359&rd=1

I was just thinking, if you had a pressure washer and a truck, what a great way to make quick cash when you don't have details planned! Now, I know that low pressure is what should be used on cars, but perhaps it would work decently on driveways, outsides of houses, etc. That would really make...

with 6 Meg's 8" Soft Buff pads. 2 cutting, 2 polishing, and 2 finishing. I also picked up a few rolls of automotive masking tape (neon green 3m). While I was there on Sat. I bought the backing plate for the pads (they had to order the pads) and a gallon of Auto Magic New Car Glaze. I haven't...

I bought some Auto Magic New Car Glaze this past weekend and I was curious to check out their other products. I came across these videos featuring a few different products. It's mostly a sales pitch, but it did teach me a few helpful things. Check 'em out and see what you think. Ignore the...

I plan on purchasing Meg's DACP, #7, and #16 as well as Klasse AIO &SG. What should I do with these? My best guess at the order would be DACP, AIO, #7, SG, #16. Is there a step here that's redundant? Thanks.

I know everyone hates having to suggest products over and over again, so I apologize in advance. I would like to try some new stuff. What I have so far is PB's: ssr2.5, PP, EX-P, Natty's, S&W, NL, and a bunch of their great MFs; Meg's: NXT wax, NXT wash #39; 4*: UGE; Adam's: VRT, Detail...

After Christmas, a few recent details, and some sold items I have $400 in cash lying around. I should really save, but we all know how it is. ;) Anyway, I'm pretty loyal to the Makita brand, and I'm seriously considering buying their rotary. First off, where should I buy one? Second, what...

I did this detail on Tuesday and I was too lazy to post pics until today. :D Anyway, this car came to me pretty clean, so it wasn't much of a hassle. I vacuumed the interior and dressed everything except the seats with Adam's VRT. I used PB's NL on the seats and leather pieces. For the...

I'll be buying a Jeep Wrangler next year (or something similar) and I will definitely wheel with it. I've been thinking about cleaning it. Should I go to a cheap car wash bay at the Texaco and use their power washer to rinse the crap off and detail it when I get home? My plans would call for...

I'm trying to decide what products to get for this Christmas. If you don't mind, please suggest what you would want. Limit is $200. Due to my lack of experience with high quality products, I'm really shooting blanks when it comes to deciding on new stuff. Thanks!

I love all classic country, southern rock, some present day country, classic rock, and bluegrass. One of my favorites is "It's A Great Day To Be Alive" by Travis Tritt, but my all-time favorite song has got to be "Gentle on My Mind" by Glen Campbell. So what's your favorite song?

I have a single car garage that has a bunch of junk in it, as you can see here. I'd like to utilize the space for detailing, so I've freed up some upcoming weekends to improve it. I'm on a limited budget ($300), so I really need to be frugal with materials. What do you suggest I do...

I was just wondering what products you guys use for clients' cars. Do you go with a buy-in-bulk professional product (Hi-Temp, TOL, etc.), a moderately expensive consumer/skilled detailer product (Poorboy's, Meg's, etc.) or a high quality, no holes barred products (Klasse, Menzerna, Pinnacle...

Washed and put a coat of Natty's on the MB today. Current combo is Poorboy's Pro Polish, EX-P, Natty's x 2. The metallic really pops now and it's super wet and slick.

My dad hit a pothole and blew out his 2 left side tires on Tuesday night while it was raining cats and dogs, so it was really dirty and in desperate need of a detail today. I had a free 1 1/2 hours, so I washed it up nice, vacuumed the carpets, threw on another coat of Natty's (this is the 2nd...

Christmas is coming up, and I've been asked to give people my list of wants. I'd really like to stock up on products I'll use just for customer cars. I want to spend my own money on nice stuff for personal needs. So what are good professional products that are no fancy labeling, good results...

I've been browsing for garage organization stuff lately and I came across this site. I think they make these diamond plate cabinet/shelving units for race car trailers, but I immediately saw them fitting my garage perfectly. They seem to be relatively cheap compared to the Gladiator and...

I did a 1995 Avalon today with 133k miles on the clock. It was pretty rough. The problem was that the lady gave me 3 hours to do it (7:00 am to 10:00 am). :( But I managed to pick up some Oxi Clean at Kroger yesterday, so I tried GSRstilez's carpet regimen. We had a bottle of Shout sitting...
