A silver 08 M3 came in the other day asking if we could fix a silver-dollar-sized 'hole' in his clear coat. It was obvious clear coat failure but the rest of the car looked stellar. I doubt this was a typical rock chip as it was very far toward the back of the hood. Is this something that i can...

I couldn't go to SEMA, so what's the newest, must have item in our arsenal?

Clear Bra and Opti-Coating a 2014 Corvette           

My autogeek foam cannon works great in my gas powered 2500PSI, 5GPM pw, but when I attach it to my electric one which is only 1500 psi and about 1.5 GPMs it doesn't foam up as well, is there a better choice?

Have a theory on paying employees $30.00/day for just showing up, then 10% commission per invoice on completed gigs. I'm just thinking that the $30 would motivate them enough to get to work, even if they are sitting on their phone all day until a car comes.

I'll be opening a shop soon and the current fixtures are traditional fluorescent tubes, not sure if the are T8, 10 or 12, but im on a tight budget and want to know if the LED tubes would.offer significant improvement?

The owner of this vehicle was very unimpressed with the dealership's $1800 prep package. Yes, I said $1800. The package included dealer installed swirls and the sloppiest leather conditioning you'll ever see. The owner argued the price out of the purchase agreement before bringing the car home...

There are a lot of new developments in my area, most of them are retail/restaurant zoned. How does one go about procuring a shop? and as the title states, will a shop bring customers just because it exists or would there need to be significant advertising done? Does being in/around new...

I'm going to apologize in advance, I say "uh/umm" A LOT-this was kind of an impromptu vid but it shows how the AutoScrub pad can effectively remove overspray!

Sometimes my flex da will shut off if I bump the cord where it meets the body, I then have to giggle the cord or twist it a few times until it works. This happens frequently during a pass and I've since just given up on the machine., seems like an easy fix, but would like some pointers

a few months ago I bought a black silverado, polished it to mirror finish (m105/205) and topped it with collinite 845 via DA. I put the 845 right on without doing a complete alcohol wipe of the whole truck. I noticed some oily streaking as days passed and decided a wash later to put some BFWD on...

What would you suggest to polish a brand new right from the factory gray GTR with? Looking for a good single step solution prior to the front getting clear bra. I've heard the paint is finicky

Why make 2 different cars when you could have 1 do all of your marketing for you? Look past the silly half and half theme to how incredibly precise they maintained each side's individual theme-down to the air intake/engine design Jekyll-and-Hyde 1968 Chevy Camaro will make you look more than...

I destroyed my stock backing plate on my flex after 3 years of service. where do i get replacements?

i'm on Safari 5.1.5 on Mac OS 10.6.8. Everytime a page loads, or reloads, it scrolls do the bottom, almost like it's forcing me to view an ad down there. Sometimes it scrolls to the middle of a page.

I have a long time customer who for the first time ever wants his engine cleaned up. Last I had a look under the hood, it was a mess, lots of dust and a jumble of wires etc. This car is an all original, daily driven 88 BMW 3 series drop top. I'm very apprehensive about this gig. Can anyone give...

A few new bimmers i've done have a permanent, tar-like tire shine on the wheels. What is it? It is very gummy and has killed a few brushes of mine =(

This owner has a thing for black cars and wanted his 2007 Tuxedo Black E350 restored to full gloss and original luster now that she's rounding 85,000 miles. I had a chance to do some prior walk arounds with the customer when I performed just a Stage I to his black Tahoe weeks before. Upon...

I was gassing up the detailing rig and happened to notice a dripping wet, very new Infinity being wiped off with the gas station shop-towels that you pull from the garbage bins. I handed my card to the owner and said "you might incur a few less scratches utilizing my professional touch." The guy...

I think that high gas prices are negatively effecting my customer's willingness to have their cars serviced. I offer some rather complex packages, even my 'low end' (stage 1) is comprehensive and comes with a heavy price (175/car, 195 SUV). I always wanted to appeal to car-savvy individuals and...
