I purchased a Mytee S-300 for mobile work. When it arrived the cap on the capture tank was in pieces. It was immediately replaced by the distributor. On the first use of the machine for a job, after about 5 minutes of use, the hose began to come apart. I cut off the separated section and...

I recently bought a Makita 9227 from another detailer via facebook to have as a second for $115 shipped. When I got it, it had a rattling noise. Opened it up to find some of the teeth from the bevel gear broken. Cost to replace will be roughly $70 to replace it (I don't have the tools to deal...

With all the snow recently it is inevitable there will be many questions about whether it is safe to do a rinseless (ONR) wash when a car is covered in salt. The salt was not dry granules when it became attached to the surface of the vehicle. It was dissolved in water. By simply wetting the car...

With the release of Furious 7 just hours away I felt it was about time I put together this write up. It is not as detailed as I had originally planned due to time and going from memory. This is one of my favorite projects, performed nearly one year ago. This car is one of 3 to survive the...

This has taken longer than planned to test and write up. I know there are many who have been anxiously awaiting this write up and to all of you, I apologize for the delay. After my first review of some trim restorers and dressings “Trim restorer/dressing showdown - Autopia Forums - Auto...

I normally wouldn't call out a dealership for their lack of detailing prowess. I have handled several vehicles for customers after a dealership failed to satisfy on multiple attempts. One was even a salesman at said dealership. But when a dealership specializes in nothing but high end cars...

This write up has been a long time coming. This detail was almost a year ago. After a hard drive crash and then getting married, all on top of normal day to day life, I haven’t had much time to do write ups. The owner of this car had purchased it about six months prior. He knew that it...

I am a member of a few other forums. I have been slowly building my detail business over the past few years. I am from SoCal, but now living in Raleigh area. I will post some pics of my work soon. (may be redundant to those who know me from other forums). Looking forward to learning more and...
