    2014 Corolla

    Every time this one family buys a new car, they drop it off to be detailed; the mother in the family calls it the, "new car treatment". The dad just dropped off this pretty cream colored Corolla S. It's overcast & little drizzly outside and the new neighbors think I'm nuts, but it's a great day...

    opticoat syringe has chunks in it and is hazy

    Not sure what happened to yours, this is mine. I used it a year ago on my wife new Fit. It's been sitting in the garage since then.

    Man I hear you, I got a steamer a few weeks back and the weather finally allowed me to enjoy it, and it is amazing. Wow!

    Which is best to dry vehicles after a wash?

    On the rare occasion when I go to the car wash, put in your quarters and wash away, I blot with the yellow Cobra Guzzler HD Waffle Weave. It's $20 but it works great. Lay it on the hood and gently "wipe" the back. When I use the pre-soaked towel method- which is almost always, I use the green...

    Wow I just talked to Garry Dean

    My experience, these guys are regular guys. Mike is very personable; in San Antonio Anthony Orosco & Ron Harris are very approachable, likeable, and if you show up at their shop- they may put you to work. Ron & Anthony own Auto Concours in SA and do amazing work.

    Favorite Car Shows on TV

    Well, my wife will really appreciate me taking up more DVR with these great suggestions. I really can't but wonder if a car show on taking care of cars (detailing) couldn't be done some how. I mean, cars now days are SO expensive. Since I've been detailing I've noticed how many cars have clear...

    Favorite Car Shows on TV

    I'm not into American Idol or Dancing With Whoever, but I do like the car shows: Wheeler Dealers (Edd China is amazing), Overhaulin' (Chip blows me away), Car Chasers (guys out of Lubbock are fun to watch), West Coast Customs (incredible) and I just finished watching Desert Car Kings. Up front...

    Tell me about Houston vs. San Antonio

    Hurricanes are a hit and miss. Ike hit & it was pretty nasty. The winds blew the waters up into parts of Houston. That's why SA is pretty safe, we're far enough inland; but we're far enough south that tornadoes are exceptionally unlikely. For us to get hit badly by a hurricane, Corpus Christi...

    Tell me about Houston vs. San Antonio

    The oil boom is southeast of San Antonio and the oil related businesses are on the south and east side of SA. Lot of money to be made there. School districts were losing the CDA bus drivers because there's more money to be made in the Eagle Ford shale oil area; Eagle Ford is pronounced...

    Tell me about Houston vs. San Antonio

    San Antonio is a great place to live. I attended Univ. of Houston in late 70's, and it basically hasn't changed much: high humidity, whole lotta traffic, interesting smells coming out of the southeast petrochemical area. Houston is a very large city, unregulated growth, and has the amenities of...

    Pre-soaked towel method

    Thanks for the responses so far. I've seen the videos and Mike uses the microfiber mitts. What I'm looking for is input from guys who use the self named "Garry Dean" method, which I think is more accurately the, Pre-soaked towel method. Conquistador, those thick towels work well for you? I've...

    Pre-soaked towel method

    This may have been asked before, if so I apologize for not finding the appropriate thread. (I'm sure someone will direct me.) In washing cars, for those who presoak microfiber towels in 5 gallon containers and then wipe the cars down: 1) What towels do you use? I've tried the gray...

    What's the worst P.O.S you've ever detailed?

    White Buick Regal. I guess I could have called the CDC to swab it for Ebola and other various lethal things. When I finished it, the Regal looked a pretty decent, the owner had a huge smile on his face (not sure he recognized his car); I threw out all the pads & microfiber towels- in Hazmat...

    How To: Properly Clean, Protect, & Maintain Wheels & Tires

    The link to the "scrape-right" plastic blades works, but there's no "add to your cart" icon. Great write up. Thx

    Official 2013 Detail Fest LIVE feed conversation thread

    The pop up commercials can be annoying but dude, it is great watching this online. For me, it's worth the trade off.
