    Heeeeeeyyyy

    Oh, hey...my name is Kris. Just thought I'd introduce myself, haha. Been a little busy guys. Haven't really shown up on the forum at all. I'll be back in the winter! Having the busiest season to date. Loving every minute of it! How busy is it you ask? Put it this way. For about 5...

    Finish Kare SIRR??

    Hey guys. Recently, I went through my first liter of Iron X. Words can not express how much I LOVE that stuff! So, problem is....the price tag. Roughly $125 for 5 liters just seems nuts to me. I came across Finish Kare SIRR...which is $29 for 128 oz. Obviously a drastic change in price...

    Resist-All install?

    Just had one of the largest dealerships in my area come to me and ask if we would be interested in doing their Resist-All installations. Now, bear in mind...I'm not the biggest fan of the Resist-All product to begin with. People usually pay anywhere from $400-$500 to have it installed, and...

    Detailer in South Miami?

    Hey guys. My uncle is looking for a good detailer to do his boat. From what I gather, it has quite a bit of oxidation. But, I have not seen it. I would guess it needs a good compound, polish, and sealant. Who's down in that area? He said South Miami Pinecrest. Gimme some contact info...

    1 "Like" away from 500!

    I been pretty busy lately, haven't had much forum time. But, just wanted to share the fact that my facebook page is literally 1 "Like" away from 500!!! I'm pretty excited to have that many followers! 500 seemed like an unobtainable goal to me a while back. Now, 1000 is looking pretty sweet...

    Kudos to AG!

    Got an order delivered to me today. I open up the box, and a 16 oz. bottle of 303 Aerospace opened up and leaked half of it into the box, and all over the paper. I took a few photos. They were useless because I called and left a message for Penny and she sent me a new bottle immediately. I...

    What a day!

    Had an extremely busy day today! But, that's not the reason I'm posting... So, long story short...customer books an interior service with me. I perform my magic, he LOVES the job. Enough so that he wants the outside done now too. Obviously a good thing! My schedule has been hectic, and I...

    Got a nice phone call today...

    Customer with a fully restored 1970 Mercury Cougar. He wants a full correction, interior, engine bay,leather restoration...the whole shabang! I was looking to buy Leatherique for the leather. For those of you who have used this product...does it work well? I really think that product will...

    Chemical Guys...

    Can't say I've ever used CG. Anybody swear by any of their products? What's worth trying?

    Product for road salt?

    Do any of you know of a product that is specifically to break down crystalized road salt? Or know of anything that will soften it up? I usually just blast it loose with my pressure wash quickly. But, in the winter time...I don't like to pressure wash floor mats cause they won't dry off. If I...

    Ever seen this??

    The Festool DA sander/polisher with dust extractor kit... [/url][/IMG] Just randomly came across this thing. It's expensive as hell! Was just wondering if anyone has one, or has tried it. It apparently not only sands and polishes...but, when hooked to this dust collecting unit, will collect...

    Frustrated!!

    Kind of went overboard today, ha. My car (shown below) is no prize. It's a 99 Civic LX that I picked up about two years ago for $2,900. Paid cash for it, and it has given me no issues since. Recently...the check engine light popped on (which always sucks). Of course...it's the usual useless...

    Optima steamer...

    Don't know if you guys know about this thing. But, I've been looking into buying one to use for mobile, and also in the winter at my shop. If you've done any research on these...they are basically just HUGE steamers. They seem to make their bread and butter on selling it as a wash unit for...

    BMW hack job!

    I got the opportunity to prove to a customer that has never been to me before exactly why it's important to have a professional detailer you can trust! Long story short...she had gotten her car done by a "detailer" who (for lack of a better term) was a hack. We always talk about hack detailers...

    Griots 6" DA polisher...

    Just got my Griots DA in the mail today... I gotta admit, this thing is AWESOME! I was very skeptical of buying the Griots simply due to the Flex having rave reviews, and being known for it's well built construction. I've read some reviews, or opinions on the Griots from some others. I've...

    tree sap horror...

    Sorry, I don't have photos...yet. Basically a customer came in with a car they just bought. It's full of old tree sap imprints. Some of the sap is there still, but most of it sat so long it left raised (swollen in appearance) imprints on the finish. Mainly on the hood, roof, and trunk. The...

    Camera?

    I really want to get a decent camera to take some professional photos of my work. I've looked into cameras a little bit...but, I honestly find it overwhelming. I'd just like to be able to take some high resolution photos. I have no idea how to really make that happen. There seems to be SO...

    Is it just me, or is there too many "half off coupon" companies?

    Had a sit down with a company called Living Social today. Meeting went as they all do which is as follows in a nut shell... "We want you to offer your services for crazy cheap. Half off in fact. We keep 50%, you keep 50% and we're all happy. Just sign here..." Same thing as Groupon...

    Snow in October!?

    I don't know if you guys are familiar with what went down up here in New Hampshire recently. But, we had a crazy snow storm...2 feet of snow in a lot of areas! Yeah, in October! Tons of downed trees and power lines. There was I think 75 or so people found dead, and thousands left without...
