Great Detail Handbook (pdf)

Holy moley!! That's me. I wrote the guide for a big meet my S2000 owners club was having in New England. People really liked it. So, I put it up on my Comcast site and put the link on S2KI.com. I didn't know it had made it's way onto a BMW forum.

Way to put 2 & 2 together Budman!

Not at all! When I wrote it I had fellow S2000 owners in mind, but the techniques of course are applicable to any car.
 
Funny how things move from site to site on the web. I'm going through it right now. Looks very good. Must have taken you a long time to write it huh?

Dude that's one of the better books on the subject that I've seen....and the best part it was posted on a BMW forum...Its really helped me when someone asks about clay and why you use it...You always have some that say clay is a waste of time, takes the clear off, scratches the surface...this really just helps bring it to light.:)

Here is the link to the thread

Great detailing info - bimmerfest - BMW Forums

Absolutely! I think it took me a few months, but not of constant work. Getting all the pictures together was tough because I wanted them all to be of S2000's since I was writing the book for S2000 owners.

Thanks for the positive comments guys!
 
I have been trying for an hour to download this (dial-up). I can only get the title page. I assume because of the file size I am out of luck???

Anyone have any ideas that would allow me to view this?

High speed is available to me at work, but too many filters.

Thanks in advance.

I just checked and the file is 7.28MB. I'm not sure how long that would take to download using dial up. However, it's Adobe so you only see one page at a time. Did you try scrolling through the document?
 
Mikeyc

Yes, I did try scrolling. My connection would quit downloading and I would check for completion however, my computer would freeze when trying to view the 2nd page. I tried this multiple times. I'll try again in the early a.m. possibly less traffic then.

Thanks for the response, I can't wait to read your work!

Dave

Finally got it...40 min - no problems this time. I even had time for a nap.

Mike other than for your car club what are your plans, if any with this hand book?

Other than continuing to update it (as I feel I am continually learning more about detailing) and improving the way the book is presented on the website, I have no plans. I don't intend to publish it, sell it for money, or anything like that.

I've always dreamed of opening my own detailing store though kind of like my version of Autogeek or Detail City. If I do I would then undoubtedly use the guide to promote the products I would be selling. However, I honestly don't see that dream ever coming to fruition.
 
I printed a copy to keep its really very good thank you for all the work you put into it:yay :thanks :yourrock :hail
