thanks. I'm gonna look into using elements 10 on my girlfriends laptop. Are you sure your wife is using 'photoshop' elements or adobe 'premiere' elements ? appreciate the other comments too. will try to download windows movie maker if elements 10 is a bust.

pretty much, what are you using?

looks like maybe adobe elements 12 is capable of this?? my GF has elements 10 but I don't know if that has what I'm looking for

I don't know anyone personally, but there is only 1 authorized installer in Mississippi according to the Optimum website Optimum Polymer Technologies : Dealers in Mississippi full map for anyone else checking in Optimum Polymer Technologies : Select State could also check the pro detailer...

I'm just looking into this - but can someone recommend some software for me? Could be free or $$ Looking to take a lot of photos and set it to music to create a video. Pretty simple I guess. But I'm not a mac user (imovie) nor do I have windows movie maker installed on my operating system...

you need to contact some commercial brokers. they deal with small carriers that you've never heard of. which is what you need because many of the big carriers wont write the risk. with that said, some larger carriers will act as broker. So calling state farm, progressive, is not...

Thats great that you have that arrangement with your neighbors. Because in my part of the country, thats pretty much never happening. Whether its a bother to them or not. So I'd be thankful you can get away with that. I wont name names but I'm friendly with another detailer out of state who...

Not gonna discuss numbers on here but you've got rent, electricity, heat, insurance (not cheap), central alarm, the unexpected (I've come to expect the unexpected on an almost monthly basis) and as seajay stated, I'm in an industrial area with really very little visibility. the building isn't...

I hate dealing with overspray. nicely done

thanks for the comments if you're anal, stay away from that black. search around a bit on the forums. I'm not the only one having trouble with that paint. I found its not that difficult to mar it slightly with a clean microfiber. I think its a tinted clear coat on the black which maybe adds...

long story but I was happier a few months ago with my situation. Few months from now I may think otherwise but for the time being it is costing me a lot

included in the price. tried to do it the other way and it required extra time to calculate, making change, and everyone wants to ask if they pay cash will you not charge sales tax. If its already in the price they can't ask to get around it

I recently had done a couple Lexus IS models in black that were really tough to work with (very soft and banged up from dealership mishandling). When I got the call for this GS350 in Nebula Gray Pearl I thought I may be headed down that same road. Fortunately I was wrong and its a good example...

I think you mean "PF" 2500 not "SF". to elminate any confusion a lot of times I'll use the now old school name of 'power finish' I use it pretty often for 1 step corrections. Usually starting with heavy pressure and lightening the speed and pressure towards the end to max out the gloss as...

Definitely been down that road (fillers hiding the true condition). During decon on new cars a lot of times I'll use TRIX instead of straight iron x (like I would with something with a bit of age on it). I feel the degreaser in TRIX is helping to strip anything hiding the true condition

I've done 3 of these cars recently. The two that were black were both really difficult. very soft clear. which I can see on this car by the marring in your photos. Clay magic blue and the speedy prep towel did all that. not the swirls but the uniform flattened marring appearance. When I...

not such a secret really. had my logo done on there 2-3 years ago. cost me $15 though as there is a lot of garbage work up there. Fortunately fiverr is good on refunding if you're not happy. But the competent users on there sometimes charge for multiple $5 'gigs' for one completed well done...

sorry you had such a tough time. I hate days like you described where the whole thing just is a mess start to finish. appreciate the heads up though.
