Worked on this piece of history last month: Out of the over 2,100 Alco vehicles made in the early 1900's, only 12 are known to still exist. Of those 2,100 only 4 were race cars and only one is known to still exist. This Alco won the Vanderbilt cup two years in a row. It is the rarest, oldest...

Here is the creme d'le creme of my detailing career (so far): a 1972 BMW two door sedan. Its a concours car, one of the top 3 in the northeast, and a fully restored masterpiece. The owner wanted me to detail it for this concours: Fairfield County Concours d'Elegance - Welcome. The car is worth...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I got a call from my friend Frank a week ago alerting me to a car show at Belmont Raceway in Long Island, New York. We're both friends from our local car show and I had detailed his 1971 Buick Skylark in the past...

I got to use the new Gold Class Carnauba Plus two days ago on a 1964 Buick Skylark for a Car show. I used it as a base coat with a top coat of Pinnacle Souveran. Because both look amazing red, it was a match made in heaven. With the longevity of the new Gold Class Plus and the looks of the...

I just ordered a tub of it last night from Autogeek for $70 (its on sale, check it out) with an assortment of other things. I've never heard a bad review about Souveran and really wanted to see if it lives up to all the hype. Anyone have any bad experiences with it? Any specific tips as for...

My business cards should be in my hands by wednesday, so I want to get an idea from guys that have been in business longer than I how to hand them out in the smartest way possible. Since I already frequent the local car events, I figured I might as well hand out a few cards there. Can you...

I already am a "Pro Detailer" as in I detail for money though I don't have enough experience to feel comfortable calling myself a Pro Detailer. I want to learn how to master the rotary, wet sand and how to do better engine details. Are there any reasonably priced classes in the 5 boroughs that...

I just got my own car and have begun testing all different products on my vehicle, none of them particularly high quality. I've found that I thoroughly enjoy detailing a nice car despite the monotony involved in it. I'm beginning to think that I want to get into the business of part-time...

I'm new to the car detailing scene; I got my first car 2 months ago and my license only 6 months ago. I'm not a huge fan of most of the cars of the past 15 years, I don't really like most imports (with the exception of exotics), obviously my priorities are different than most of my peers. I like...
