Thanks guys for the feedback, so far the response has been great. There were 10 registrations yesterday besides myself and my testers, and it looks like a few more are joining us today. I did a small update today to fix a bug that was found during testing yesterday and to display some security...

Can't wait to try it out.

Thanks I'm glad you like it, after all it was your need that kicked the project off. I've only been working on it for a week, and there is still so much I want to add to it to make it a really useful tool.

Seems like i'm talking to myself these days, but DetailLog (it needs a better name) is live. DetailLog: The first online auto detail management software This is just an initial beta launch, i've got lots of additional features and optimizations in mind, and the current layout is just something...

Well, after working the entire last 2 weekends (ok, so i stopped to wash the car, eat a few times and tour two wineries), and staying up until at least 1:30 a.m. every morning working on it. The site has been tested in Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari and Opera. I have conducted usability...

For tire dressing I use Megs Hot Tire Shine in the winter, it has better durability than the water based Optimum Tire Shine that is now my norm. Both are pretty glossy, but not overly such. I put it on light using a foam applicator and I dont buff off the excess with a towel. Buffing it off...

I also just use the same spray wax that I use on the car, whether it is AW, Opt Spray Wax, or Opti-Seal, they are just so easy and quick to apply on a regular basis. Pretty much any time I dress the tires I will also use a spray wax on the wheels. I always think of doing a real coat of wax or...

What is OCW? Optimum Spray Wax has completely replaced DG AW for me. I still have two bottles of AW, but I don't think I have used it in over a year since I got Opt Instant Detailer and then Opt Spray Wax. Takes a bit more work, but the Opt Opti-Seal is a great product too. I have not tried...

The reason I don't use them is because I don't feel like replacing my mitts every month. It's just the nature of the beast though. I imagine if there was one more durable, it probably would be as soft and safe.

Just an update, I made a lot of progress last night. Registration, Login, Adding Customers, Cars and Details is now completed. I just need to add some searching, sorting and paging to each of the table views, fill in the terms of use, privacy policy and faqs, give it a basic design, run a final...

For car wash, Megs GC, Opt Car Wash, or DG 901 are all great. Many also swear by PB SS and DP 4-in-1 both of which I have no experience with (except for the small sample bottle of DP that came with the foam canon). Opt Car wash with an ounce of ONR mixed in is my favorite for traditional...

The lesson here is to never allow a completely dry towel to come in contact with a completely dry car. Regardless of the quality of the towel you always need some lubrication in there. Cobra towels are the best I have used (never tried pakshak, only vroom and some other brand I bought online...

I dont do other peoples cars for this exact reason. I am way to anal and take way to long, I could never make a profit from it. I detail my own cars not because I like to (ok, sometimes a afternoon in the garage alone is nice), but because I appreciate clean cars and can save money doing it...

For the splatter, you may want the pinnacle safe scrub bug and tar pad, or just some onr and a clay bar.

Well when I get product management in, the product db will be public to any registered user. Then they can add their own products to it. Modifications to existing products initially might be on the honor system, or by email request, but a voting interface for changes would be cool. Once the...

At the moment, in the interest of getting it up quickly, there will not be any kind of product management. I will have time spent, material cost and amount charged to start with. Description of the detail (which will eventually become the show & shine for public viewing) will be done using a...

I haven't forgotten about this project. I've just been so swamped at work, the last thing I have been wanting to do is come home and do more. This weekend I decided to scrap the project and started over with a new framework. I've got the registration, login, customer entry and car entry...

My picks are: - Optimum No-Rinse Wash for a quick detailer and clay lube - Optimum Instant Detail & Gloss Enhancer for topping sealants - Optimum Spray Wax for topping carnauba coats I don't mean to pimp out Opt products but these are all super cheap and super slick, the later two have great...

I sure hope so, the home depot ones had nothing more than a few pinholes and were hard as a brick.

Now use guys have me curious. I picked up a couple grout sponges in 07 at home depot to use for onr through the winter. The next day they were in the trash and I have never looked for them again, how is the lowes that much better?
