    C230 Kompressor

    I did this one at Christmas time. My daughter is a budding photographer so she took the pics. I know the afters aren't really showing off the transformation. No close-ups and they were in the shade. Trust me the paint came out very good. She took about a zillion pics of the washing and befores...

    The New Photo Album Feature

    This was a feature that came with the vbulletin upgrade. I'm probably going to axe the vBGarage because this is just better. You can upload into your album and it gives you the code to use for posting in the Detailer's showcase if you want. Now here's where it gets confusing. The Gallery has...

    Gas Station Dummies

    You can learn a lot about people at the gas station. Sitting in line at the gas station today got me shaking my head again. The wholesale club gas stations force you to pull in one way so many people will drag the pump hose across the trunk to fill the tank. It's like nails on a chaulk board to...

    vBGarage

    I notice that there are quite a few people starting a page in vBGarage without photos. :hmmm: If you tried uploading photos but they wouldn't upload they were probably too big. They need to be no bigger than 1MB. I think I might have some time this weekend to get my rig all shined up so I can...

    Hold on to your Buffer!

    Ok I just remembered one I don't think I've shared yet. A fellow detailer told me this one. He was working at a marina on a customer's boat and another detail company comes to work on the boat right next to their's. First of all he notices how unprofessional they are. Ragged out clothes, loud...

    The Latest Car Wash Technique

    We all see people doing things to clean or detail their car that make us cringe. :yikes: Set their wash rag on the ground and then pick it up again and drag it across the car. Grab a rotary buffer with a wool pad and race across the hood with a little old fashioned rubbing compound to get those...

    I got tricked. Will you?

    I just did this and was amazed. YouTube - cards selection 5 Then I am happy to say I figured it out before I read the comments. Still a good one. It reminds me of when my daughter asked my wife which was heavier; 10 pounds of bowling balls or 10 pounds of feathers?:hmmm: :gotcha:

    The Cost of Oil

    I am speaking as an American with concerns that reach much further than the rising gas prices. No one likes paying more for gas at the pumps but if that were all it was then I think we could live with it and adjust to it. I see the cost as MUCH greater than I believe most people see. Most...

    Black Infiniti G35

    I did a pretty bad one last week and I managed to take some decent before and afters. I used Four Star's Ultimate Scratch and Swirl Remover, Final Polish Spray and finished with UPP. The marring actually came out fairly easy. I did have to use the high speed anyway though because of some deep...
