    DFW mini-meet??

    This is last minute but I'll be in the DFW area from 4-8 to 4-10. I have an open house to attend hosted by one of the distributors I buy from, but other than that I wouldn't mind meeting a few from here and exchanging (OK, gathering) tips and tricks. I would love to see how someone else "works...

    First time with a rotary

    I only spent about 20 minutes on 1 side of my truck's cab area. It's not perfect, but it's been a long day and I am beat, so the full deal will have to come later. I bought the only rotary with 100 miles (GMC {Global Machine Company} from Lowe's) for $75 about a week ago but had to wait on...

    Meg's #21 anyone?

    Thanks, part 2.

    Well, my first 4-step exterior detail is in the history books. It started with a 7:30am trip to Wal-Mart for some Orange Blast, Orange Blast wheel cleaner, and 24 (3 packs of 8 for $5 a pack) MF towels. I had to take a 2.5 hour break from 10 to 12:30 for other stuff, supper at 6:30 and had the...

    Thanks to all Autopians...

    especially David B. As I've mentioned before, I really appreciate such an informative and friendly site. I've learned so much from everyone here. The e-book on detailing, the reviews, the pics with steps listed, etc. I haven't even turned on my PC and I know what my results will be. I...

    yet another newbie.

    A friend referred me to this site a while back and from what I've read, it's a very informative and interesting site. I'm still trying to learn what all the abbreviations mean as well as which products (waxes, polishes, cleaners, etc.) I need to invest in. I've always tried to keep my vehicles...
