So recently I got a few tips from one of my friend who also shoots Canon. I was shooting a portrait of him at f/1.2 and notice it was missed focused. So he told me put the camera on live view and hit the magnify button then fine tune focusing until what you want is sharp. This should work with...

I had a client who recently purchase a BRZ. The first weekend he had it, he asked me to do a new car detail. Which included wash/clay/sealant. I used BFWD on his last detail, it seemed to hold up pretty well. He called me a recently and asked if I can one step and Opti-Coat his car. Products...

A friend of mine just recently bought the new Subaru BRZ. And I was lucky enough to perform a new car detail for him. Subaru really stepped up their game this year. He got the car on Monday and the paint was already in rough shape, due to pollen and rain. The only thing the dealership did to...

I don't think we have a thread about this, so here we go. I use to go out and eat pretty much everyday. Either I was in a rush or too lazy to make my own food. Spending 5-15 dollars everyday is starting to take a toll on me. I'm trying to save up and eating out a lot really burns a hole in your...

2000 Subaru Outback I was contacted by someone who was looking to get their car ready for sale. The car had around 90k miles and is about 12 years old. Last couple years the owner didn't do much to keep up with the appearance of the vehicle. We agreed to have the exterior of the car to be...

So I got a call yesterday who was referred by one of my clients. When he told me it was bombed I didn't think it would be that bad. Oh was I wrong... When I got their she told me she wanted her car detailed inside out before she sells it. The car was 10+ year old, never been waxed or really...

My contract with ATT is ending soon, and I can upgrade anytime now. Anyone thinking about getting the HTC One X? I haven't had time to do much research on it but it looks to be a promising phone. I was planning on getting an iPhone5 but don't want to wait for another 4-5 months. Right now I...

I had a next door neighbor asked me to detail his interior couple weeks ago. Like every other mini vans the owners has couple kids and never had time or tools to clean it themselves. I went and checked it out to see if I could of cleaned it without steamer/extractor, but there was no way I could...

I just got my extractor today from Fedex today and was wonder if it is safe to use it with APC or Folex. I have a job coming up next week that needs serious interior work done. Do I need to get no foam solution to put inside the tank? I have read or saw somewhere that without it can damage the...

Just got this steamer today, and I can't find this in the manual. I still have water in the boiler and wanted to know if I need to have to steam all of it out? Or is it safe to keep water in the boiler and just release the pressure?

So today I got a chance to test out the cutting pad and compound from MF system. I helped a friend compound/polish/wax the hood. When the car arrived I already knew that the paint was bad condition because he brings it to a automatic car wash a lot. So I started with ONR wash on the hood. Then...

My power washer stopped working, there was water coming from the bottom of the machine. So I called Karcher on 2/10 and was told to bring it their to local repair center. It was about an hour drive and when I got there, the guy seemed very unprofessional. I knew from the start this wasn't going...

I just finished buffing a marble table inside the house with rotary, I went and grab the DA to apply wax on it. The DA was acting weird, it was wobble when a little when it was on the table. I took off the counter balance to see if I can tighten it but no luck. Here a video so you can see what...

Today as I was shoveling I accidentally scratched my car. I couldn't help my self and put on touch up paint with toothpick to fill in the deep scratch. It just snowed and its about 26 degrees here. Will the touch up paint dry correctly if its this cold? Should I remove the touch up paint with...

The whole family was cleaning the house today, and I was asked to wipe down the kitchen area down. I wiped all the doors down with APC+ and it did a great job getting the oil off the finish. Then I got to the range hood.... it looked liked it hasn't been cleaned in years. We stir fry a lot and...

I just ONR my car today and just applied Fuzion onto my car. Is it safe to wax the car when it wasn't prepped right? I'm sure the car needed to be clayed but I didn't have enough time. So I just ONR and applied wax. I noticed that when applying Fuzion with foam pad, it made noise when applying...

I was looking at my car's hood today and notice there was lots of swirls on my hood. I then come to the conclusion that the dealership had washed my car. I went to the dealership about a week ago because they had to fix some rattling noise. I told them to note not to wash my car in their...
