    Back from the dead...

    Hey all... joined YEARS ago and just kinda fell through the cracks. Lots of life... moving, divorce, blah blah blah. But I'm BACK with a vengeance, mainly because I purchased a brand-spankin' new 2007 Jeep Patriot. And I'm NOT going to let it suffer. LOL I actually lucked out due to the...

    Paint Chip Color Matching Company??

    Hey all... I haven't posted in a long time but I manage to lurk around here a couple times a week. I've tried a search but because I can't remember this company's name... all I get are topics on how to repair chips. I know how to repair the chips, I just need to get a bottle or two of the...

    I'm BAAAACK!

    Hello everyone... Haven't been around in close to 6 months due to losing a job, getting a new one, working like crazy, etc. You know the routine. Biggest news is the wifey and I will be headed back to our home of Tucson come the 2nd of August. After 8 years in KC, we're finally heading...

    Lasting Damage from Swirls?

    I searched the archives and didn't find anything relating to this exact topic... mainly just how to remove them (which was good... I needed a refresher.) Anyway, I was curious to know if there is any lasting damage that can come from swirl marks? If you don't remove them, continue to use...

    Cell phones for professionals...

    Do you all use one for your business? I'm very behind the times here, as my wife and I don't own one at all... in fact we have resisted getting one because we find them so annoying at times. However, once I put my annoyance away, I realize that I probably will need one once I get my mobile...

    Buying new Camera... help!

    I thought I'd post this here since I'm thinking about buying a 35mm SLR camera, but I'm completely lost with what is out there right now. Basically, I'm an amateur photographer and want to upgrade from my simple Canon point-and-shoot 35mm camera. It takes okay photos, but I want to be more...

    PC question....

    Okay... I'm seriously going to make the jump to a Random Orbital Buffer... most likely the "Ultimate Detailing Machine" Porter Cable from Classic Motoring Accessories... and my 94 Ranger is going to be my guinnea pig! That being said, and coming from a complete lack of knowledge, how do all...

    wood paneling....

    Hello all... Have any of you experienced that horrible fake wooden paneling while you're detailing? I know not many cars actually have that stuff on them anymore, but I was curious to know if any of you HAVE detailed a vehicle like that... and what did you use to protect it? Brings back...

    Mobile mileage?

    To all of you mobile detailers: Do you keep track of your mileage for jobs and write it off your taxes? If so, what do I need to do it correctly and what is the going rate for mileage? I'm going to go full-throttle detailing come warmer weather and I'm getting a business plan together. I'm...

    How many of you wear gloves?

    Time for a bit of a vent, and then my question. I just finished detailing a friend's car this past Sunday. It is a 1995 Toyota Corolla with about 75,000 miles on it. Although this young woman is a great friend to my wife and I, all I can say is OH MY GOD!:eek: This poor 'Yota has been...

    problem with truck shell's paint....

    Hello everyone.... While detailing the Ranger last week, I noticed that the roof of the color-matched fiberglass shell has two small "bubbles" in the paint! They're about a quarter of an inch in diameter and they don't move like there is air under the surface like a true bubble, but I don't...

    Aftermarket Sunroof....

    Hey all... I wanted to get your feedback on this issue. My wife and I recently bought a 2002 Mitsubishi Lancer - OZ Edition. We absolutely love it, but we argree that a Sunroof/Moonroof would be awesome. Since we are planning on keeping this car for many, many years, an investment up front...

    First Paint Correction

    For all of you who own/work at a mobile detailing business: I have a couple questions for you. I'm thinking about starting a small detailing business this coming summer.... if you want to call it a business. I'm not going to dive in too deep, as I already have a full-time job I love, but I'd...

    Accident.... no waxing soon.

    Hey all... Just thought I'd come by and share my wife's (and my) accident story. :( If this thread needs to be put into another forum... go ahead and move it, but since I won't be performing my new winter Klasse wax on the Camry, I thought it was valid here. My wife was driving yesterday...

    Conflicting information, it's frustrating!

    Hey there.....:D Got a question for you about your website. I have gone there a few times to look around and to see Jason's corner and his Klasse application instructions, but I am having problems. Hardly any of the links are actually "links" in my browser. For example.... when I'm in...

    To Rinse or not to rinse

    I have searched the archives and have not come up with an answer to my question.... so here goes. I will be purchasing the K "twins" very soon so I can protect my wife's Camry and my Ranger before the winter hits. I have noticed that many (all?) of you Klasse users use Blitz after using the...

    Clearcoated Rims

    Weird thing happened the other day that has forced me to think about the clearcoated rims on my 1994 Ranger. I went through my local brushless car wash (I know, I know) and got the "deluxe" wash... which included some product called "wheel brite" :mad: Well.... I drove the few blocks home...

    ONR - Getting ready for winter

    The engine on my 1994 Ranger is dusty and dirty from daily use and I'd like to get it clean! I think it is beyond the point of a hand-bottle and towel cleaning so what should I do? I know I've got a small oil leak somewhere that I'd like to clean so I can find the source. I have considered...
