Well its been a while since I've posted on these here forums -my life has been a little hectic the last few months, and most of my detailing stuff has found its temporary home in a storage unit. My now wife and I (just got married in Feb) sold our townhome late last year, and are in the process...

About a month or so ago I had made the decision to give the Edge system a try on the rotary. I wanted to spring for some wool pads to use strictly with the rotary for a multitude of reasons, and the Edge system fit my needs to a tee. The variety of wool pads, the double-sided factor, perfect...

Not sure how many guitar players we have on the forum, but I wanted to share this with everyone. About a month or so ago I logged on to guitarworld.com and saw they had contest to win a new PRS Mira electric guitar. I usually don't bother with those kinds of things, but PRS is my favorite...

Well I went to Home Depot to get a few new tools so I could get ready to Dynamat my whole truck, and as I was walking past the paint department I noticed that they had a few power washers on clearance. Sitting there was a 1800 psi electric out of the box. I asked the associate how much it was...

Got all of my latest orders in, so now I'm officially ready for spring. Im the MANGot my Durrmaid on Friday, the Prochem Ultrapac TLC and All Fiber Rinse on Monday, and my Edge wool & foam pads yesterday (from AG of course!). The Edge system is going on the rotary for now, and I'll...

As a part-time detailer, with each happy client I get the stronger urge to push towards my ultimate goal of owning a shop and doing detailing full-time. Which got me thinking -to everyone here, if you were able to detail for a living, would you? Is it a hobby and/or extra income to you or...

I'm needing some advice on my next big detailing purchase. Our bonuses came in this year and was more than I was expecting, and the Mrs. just gave me the go-ahead to update my arsenal for 2008. I am in the market for either a new rotary (I currently have a cheapo I picked up to practice) plus...

Well, I finally decided to give some DG products a spin after seeing and hearing all the good things about their line on AG. I went with a few items that I'm going to use for my winter protection. Also picked up some other items. Small order, but I'm really anxious to give them a try. -Menz PO...

Put in my order to take advantage of the 15% special going on and wanted to share: -Optimum No Rinse (Gallon) -want to compare this to DP 4-In-1 -Surf City Diamond Edge Metal Dressing -going to try this on my chrome wheels just for sh!ts and giggles and see how well it holds up -Surf City...

Hey everyone, just had a detail to share with you. The car overall was in pretty good shape, except for the rear bumper where there was evidence of being lightly rear-ended, and a few marks on the hood from snow removal last winter. Besides two specific areas, the paint was in great shape, as...

Fellow AG'ers, I need your help. I have an 06 Mazda 3 that I'm doing on Sunday that has a quarter sized piece of gum stuck in the fabric of the seat. The owner put their gym shoes on the seat and must've stepped in gum somewhere along the line. What would be the best way/product to get it out...

Well, first off Happy Father's Day to all the dad's out there. My dad's Harley needed a good cleaning, so I decided to detail it as part of his Father's Day present. I haven't done too many motorcycle details, so it took me forever to get through all the chrome! I love his paint, and think it...

Ok, finally got a chance to take the UDM for a spin and compare it to the 7424. I taped off my hood in half and used the UDM on one side and the 7424 on the other. I used Menzerna's Final Polish with a white LC CCS pad on speed 6 for both units. I also worked both sides equally as long (3...

I've posted a few show n' shines, but never my own ride. Here's a few shots from a few weeks ago after I applied SSII. I was going to give it the full monty this weekend, but the weather isn't cooperating, plus I'm going to wait for my UDM to arrive so I can play with that and the Menzerna...

This is one of the details that I got to do over the weekend. Time & money was an issue with this job, and the customer wasn't overly obsessed with removing all the swirls on the finish. They just wanted it shined up a little. Sounded like the perfect job for Poli-Seal. Here was my process...

Clear Inline Hose Filter Canister and Accessories Anyone using this filter system for washing? I'm interested in picking something like this up, as our water is pretty hard. Just wanted to get fellow AG'ers that have used this before to chime in! Feed back please

Ok, so I finally made a decision on a new camera (thanks everyone for their help in in the other thread). These are some shots I took tonight just to play around. Just to let you know, this is my first SLR experience ever, and I haven't touched these files other than transferring them to my...

Hey everyone! I've been a long-time lurker of the AG board, and finally have decided to actively join the community. Recently just detailed my girls Equinox, and wanted to share and get your thoughts on how I did. Process: Wash: PB SS&S Clayed w/ DP clay and Pinnacle Clay Lube (this stuff is...
