    Testing 2" Pneumatic DA Polisher (Video)

    Don't be fooled. What you are about to see is not a TA50, nor does it cost $300+ Normally, I'd say go for quality, get the Rupes. The problem is that it's over $300 and they clearly claim that they do not think the machine will hold up to polishing. I'm not willing to pay $300 to find out that...

    Status Auto Detailing: 2003 Corvette Stage III Detail/ Opti-Coat Pro

    Here's a beautiful Corvette that I corrected. Following the correction I applied Opti-Coat pro to preserve my work and the paint, long term. This Vette was a major job, taking 15+ hours to bring the exterior back to life. I absolutely love taking slightly older cars like this to a whole new...

    Need Help! Flash Site--Should I convert to HTML5?

    Tech guys. I built my site on Wix.com. It is flash based. Should I convert to HTML5? Apparently it's not extremely difficult to convert and I don't think it will cost me anything.

    Joe's (superior shine) site pics linked to AG forum write-ups

    I really like how Joe has linked his pics to full write ups on the AG and Meg's forums. Not only does it help him out and allow his customers to see his detail process but it directs traffic to AG. A win/win in my book. Does anyone else do this? I'm thinking about doing something similar...

    Turned down a client with Paint Spill

    I just turned down a client that spilled a 1/2 gallon of latex paint in her carpet. :eek: From what I understand, it was still fairly fresh. I started having visions of my extractor and vacuum, full of nasty paint and just couldn't do it. Was I right in turning her down?
