Mike, thanks for the follow up! The weather has been pretty crappy here in Chicago, that and I've been real busy with work. I ordered a few more missing "items" during your Memorial Day sale so I plan on getting started this week. The weather is supposed to be very nice towards the end of the...

I don’t know if I agree with this. We obviously live in a technical, computer driven, web based society and having that information on the business card only reinforces that the vendor complies with this technology. At a minimum, it gives the vendor another avenue to reach out to potential...

Mike, quick question about cleaning the pads. First off, I purchased 6 pads of each (orange, white, black) to have at my disposal in hopes of speeding up the detail process.

Sorry, I should have posted my detailing questions in the detailing 101 section. Just read Mike's suggestion above.

I’ve always wondered how some cars can look so glossy and clean and after reading this forum ever day for the past month, I think I’m beginning to understand the possibilities. I have to say there is some great knowledge in this forum and I’ve learned a lot so far. Enough to finally make a big...
