    My "Mega Detailing Cart" is finally finished!!!

    I like this cart a lot and might end up making something similar this summer. For now I just have a plastic shelving unit that's actually falling apart right now. =O Thanks for the ideas and pictures!

    Plasti-Dip on my paint... ?

    My hope is simply to use it for appearances for a few months at most, then remove it. If I end up liking the look, I'll likely end up having more professional things done to achieve the same appearance. I am hopeful about it (for the short term), but I have heard horror stories...

    Plasti-Dip on my paint... ?

    Thank everyone for all the feedback. As of now, I plan on doing a test spot on some factory-painted splash guards that I am not particularly attached to. We'll see how safe it is on the paint when I pull it off in a month or so. As of now, my main concern is for the safety of the paint...

    Plasti-Dip on my paint... ?

    Hello again everyone! Not sure if this is the right section of the forums, but I consider this to be a detailing topic to an extent. =D I've been hearing a lot of rave reviews about Plasti-dip and it's ability to customize paint on vehicles, and be totally reversible. I know it's pretty...

    I need a Brain Storm!

    Can I use that logo?? =D I may take that and edit it a little more if you don't mind. True, I could get a contract to make military vehicles shine! Although, something tells me that would have a negative effect on camouflage... =D True, if I had airports nearby!

    I need a Brain Storm!

    Ello all, I'm working on getting together a weekend detailing business. I have some clients, I have the supplies and I have the know-how. The one thing I'm missing is a creative name. I've been thinking for days and still can't seem to come up with anything. I was hoping to...

    Definition of a "Chick Car"?

    I'd drive that car any day, no matter who says it's a "Chick Car". :props: Very nice.

    Very first time with my new DA

    It's my first choice of sealant during the colder months. Considering how much I like the Spritz Sealant, I'm also curious about how well the Deep Gloss Liquid Seal works. Have you tried that yet? This is very true. We would all be waiting a few months without them! Running a...

    Very first time with my new DA

    I bought Lime Prime long before my DA, and to be honest, I wasn't impressed initially. I never had good results when using it by hand, so I tucked it away and never used it. When I used it by DA instead, it really became a different beast. It finished with a much more slick and smooth...

    Very first time with my new DA

    Ello everyone. I just got my new Griot's Garage DA the other day and got a chance to try it out. The cold weather didn't slow me down, and I worked in my 55 degree garage boldly. Nothing can stop the perfect gloss! :buffing: Here's my process... Poorboys Waterless Wash +...

    Definition of a "Chick Car"?

    Nope, you didn't. It just comes with the territory of driving a smaller vehicle. Then again, it could be worse... cough, smart car, cough. I can't imagine ever feeling safe in one of those. =O In my book, I have to make my own safety through careful driving. I can't rely on a Miata to...

    Definition of a "Chick Car"?

    Going on Cardaddy's story, I do think about those things often while I'm driving. =O It's also good that I didn't have this car while I was a teenager. One thing I've learned to keep in mind is that I am not much better off than somebody in a smart car (Or similar mini-vehicle)...

    Possible alternative to an IPA wipedown?

    Thanks for all the detailed information Mike! I'm not sure how I didn't find this article before, but it will come in handy now.

    Definition of a "Chick Car"?

    I can definitely see why this would be the case, and I do agree that a small sporty car in general would fit a teenage girl well. Luckily though, the driving experience far outweighs that. :dblthumb2:

    Possible alternative to an IPA wipedown?

    Thanks for the quick replies. I plan to pick up some IPA supplies next time I'm out. I'll keep the Dawn dedicated to stripping wax pre-polish. Thanks again, ComradeGrumbles
