Beautiful NY spring day today. It was around 50* and Mostly sunny...perfect weather for detailing. The owner of this beautiful Camaro found me through Autopia and was looking to have some swirling removed. The overall paint condition was very good. It was slick and shiny, but had a bunch of...

Want to thank holland_patrick first off for referring this customer to me. The weather wasn't great today, but the rest was. This is a great looking car that the owner was just looking to take to the next level of shine. I was pretty happy with the results as was the customer. Interior...

In the market for some new rim/tire cleaners since I'm running low. If I am cleaning, I am usually QEW'ing or using a standard 2 bucket/hose wash. I don't have access to a pressure washer. I am pretty happy with what I am using now, but I figured I'd shoot this question out to see what is...

Had a wonderful time on Spring Break for the past 9 days. Liz and I went with another couple to stay at one of their parent's houses. It was in beautiful Jupiter, FL. We had an amazing time and part of our "Thank You" was me working on their vehicles. The vehicles really needed a lot of...

Today was a good detail day. I tried out some new products, some I liked, others I didn't. I started off with a QEW which was presoaked by my new bug sprayer. I sprayed a little QD on each panel before drying (Gliptone Body Gloss). I was happy to see the paint was still shining :). This...

Well, after my spectacle with my Integra being smashed by vandals: http://www.detailcity.com/showthread.php?t=10406 I mentioned I wasn't mad since I was covered by insurance (no deduc) and I made it home alright, but yes...I spoke too soon. I scheduled the appointment for today. They gave...

Please read the story before browsing through the pics, you know I'd do the same for you ;). So I went to Philly over the weekend for a Leadership Conference for my Fraternity. One of my other brothers came with me and we found out another brother was in Philly for the weekend with his...

I just really don't see a point to the "Ignore Member" option. If a member is acting out of line, then they should get the boot or cool off period. I think that's been pretty constant and well run here. However, if a member cannot handle a debate/argument/anything else and doesn't want their...

Not sure if anyone has seen previews of this show, but it starts in about 30 mins (9pm EST) on Speed TV/ The Speed Channel. It's pretty much like Pimp My Ride, but more on the higher end of things. It's a lot of celebs vehicles based right on Long Island in NY...

Just a couple of quick details, just using a new technique. I bought a 2 gallon sprayer from Home Depot. It's the big cylinder style with the hose and wand. You pump it to get pressure. Anyways, filled that with 1 oz QEW and the rest water. I find that its an EXCELLENT pre-soak for a QEW...

with salt! So me being a little crazy, decided to wash her Pathfinder before we went to VT for the weekend. I knew it would get a little messy, but little did I know they were expecting snow and they salt the streets to hell up there. Anyways, I think Liz is trying to make me go insance...

Well on my way to VT this past weekend, I stopped by Midstate Hospital where Patrick works to pick up a sample of Poorboy's Wheel Sealant (smells delicious BTW). I had my camera with me and he expressed some troubles with picture taking so I snapped a few shots. I have to say that his paint...

Well, as of today :) Bought a WorkForce cabinet from Home Depot a couple weeks ago and the thing was a POS. It took forever to assemble and when I got to the LAST door, it had the wrong hardware. Liz and I went back today and returned it and went to Target. We found an equal size cabinet to...

My professor turned me onto this awesome new program powered by Google called Keyhole. It is used mainly for real estate associates, but I'm having a lot of fun with the trial version. Figured I'd snap a shot of PAC and post it up... Dwayne, Fuzz, that's you guys right?

So I was in Target last night with Liz looking for a new spot treater that was reasonably priced to clean up a few messes that Buckley has made on our cream carpet. On the bottom shelf, I saw this generically labeled bottle called Folex and a bell went off in my head. I remember seeing this...

So I always keep an MF towel very handy in my car for any accidents or dust that hits my dash, doors, or center console. However whatever color I use, it looks stupid and stands out. I wanted to know, has anyone seen or know where to get a black or red MF towel. I would prefer a smaller one...

About 33* out today and the sun never poked through the heavy overcast. The water froze on the car soo many times that I was forced to use warm water in the wash buckets, clay lube, and final rinse (dumping buckets on it). You can see some icicles in the after pics :) 2001 Honda Accord Coupe...

So a little over a week ago I was surfing forums not doing anything out of the oridinary to strain my Dell Latitude C840 Laptop and all of a sudden the screen went blank and the computer shut down not as per Windows wishes. As the harddrive slowed down and stopped I began to smell something...

Evening All, Well, after just discussing this subject a lot with my parents, they expressed their concern about how important vitamins are. I have always ate reasonably healthy all of my life (no chips or soda really, always wheat everything, lots of water, etc) and never saw a need for a...

Cheappp!!! I was looking for some Drano at Ace in the cleaning aisle and happily stumbled over this bottle of Flitz Metal Polish. It has been my favorite metal polish to date and even though there is only 3.4 ounces, it goes a LONG way. I did my entire exhaust (cannister and tip) with...
