So right up front, let me say I hate the door windows that retract into the door casing an inch or more when you open the doors. :mad: Secondly, the interior of the front windshield and moonroof/sunroof glass seem to be coated. Over the years, on many different cars, I've seen the mark left on...

It will likely create a 50/50 split on what caused it, but here's the question ... Was this break-away paint caused by my rotary buffer (too hot, too much pressure...)? Or is this the result of poor paint preparation and the paint did not adhere to the surface correctly? This IS a repaint.

What better place to get an opinion on my terminology? As my business has evolved I find myself in constant search for a better way to differentiate between the local car wash and detailing. There's even a need to break down the different levels of talent each detailer may have. In my area...

I thought this may be a good bit of information to pass along to any of the detailers in business. Over the last couple of weeks I've gotten 2 phone calls that start out with ... "Good afternoon, this is so-and-so from AT&T TTY Relay Services (or another phone company). I have a phone call for...

I'm always amazed at the relatively good shape a cars paint can be in when the owner never really washes it. This was a two year leased Audi that was due for a turn in and the leasee wanted to make sure he wasn't hit for any extra wear and tear charges. He confessed to only using the touchless...

I saw Marc posted his signed Auto Geek banner for all to see, so it seemed appropriate to show my bottle of Meg's #21 I won in the recent give-away here at AG. Signed by the man himself. Thanks again to my favorite detailing site! PS. No, I will not be using this bottle of product. It goes...

I've been asked twice lately about polishing tanks on larger trucks. In one case it was the actual fuel tanks on a semi truck, in the other instance it was the truck from a local oil distributor (the huge tank that carries their oil for delivery!). In a conversation with the semi driver he...

On a recent detail job one of the customers first questions was about his Corvettes interior. It seems this white powdery, dusty area keeps showing back up even after cleaning. Passenger door jam (w/my finger marks) Front windshield area Passenger dash I cleaned it with...

We've got some snow coming today so no details on the docket. May as well post a thread. Hill City Auto Detail (VR8) teamed up with O.C. Detailing (adrock2003) for this job. A '98 Jeep that was in need of some serious cleaning! The initiative for the detail was to get it ready to sell...

The Duo strikes again in Lynchburg. All I can say is, "I'm glad there were two of us". Suburbans are BIG beasts! A local used car dealer decided to try our services this week. Enter a 2008 Chevy Suburban with 45k+ miles and some sort of front end collision that had been repaired. The previous...

I was just so pleased to finally see some clear results that I had to share. You know the saying, "The plumbers house always leaks" or "The painters house always needs painting"? Well, I was the detailer whos car needed detailing. That isn't to say it wasn't clean, I'm a bit to OCD for that. But...

Once again Hill City Auto Detail and O C Detailing have teamed up for a superior cleaning job in Central Virginia. It's kind of nice getting to talk detailing, while detailing. So we had an Ultimate Detail requested from this customer. That means every nook and cranny. Tough that it is a...

Who knew there were so many people that talked about detailing? Glad to be a part of the Auto Geek world. Thanks in advance for all the knowledge you will bestow on me in the future. I'm a Mazda nut, more specifically a Mazda rotary nut. The signature below will help explain that. I've always...
