Just curious if anybody else was planning on going to it tomorrow? I know Sonic was there last year and is planning on going again. It's at a new location if anyone wasn't aware of it and would like to make last minute plans.

With the discontinuation of D103 in 1 gal. size and a low stock of D103 I need to find a new APC. I recently purchased the tornador black and gave it a test run and was quite impressed. Therefore I see myself implementing it quite often. I know D101, OPC, CG All Clean, and Poorboy's World APC...

Hi all, hope everyone is well. Since my last experience with fiverr I have decided to allow four other designers the opportunity to design a logo. Although this time I made sure to give clear and specific instructions along with professional examples of the quality I expected. So far the first...

As the title suggests I purchased a Mculloch MC1385 this past week to add to my detailing arsenal. I have watched Larry Kosilla's video along with a few others but I don't feel 100% comfortable using the steamer mostly because of the heat levels associated with it. I'm open to any tips, tricks...

I recently hired a designer through fiverr to complete a logo and got it back today. Originally I had instructed the designer to not use a car silhouette in the logo but I guess he misunderstood, no big deal. I'm allowed several revisions so if you guys have any recommendations I would love...

Today while doing some errand running at a local store I saw this carpet extractor sitting on the front porch. It is a Thermax CP-3 and is listed for $280. From what I have seen through research it is a $1200 commercial heated carpet extractor. It runs at 60psi, has 100" of water lift, and has 3...

Hey guys, like the topic says. What programs do you use to design your advertisement items, specifically business cards? Any answers including websites are welcome. Thanks ahead of time. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hi all, Dad is going to be picking up a 2013 Ford F-150 in a two tone Green Gem and Silver color scheme. (5.0 motor for those that are curious.) I would like to use this opportunity as testing of products for my growing business and sort of as a rolling billboard. I would like to do...

Some of you have been following and helping with my recent thread on knicked through the paint on a 1996 Ford F-250. Found here: http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/auto-detailing-101/71859-i-screwed-up-pretty-good-advice-please.html Well I finished the truck a few weekends and did not get...

I'm enough of a man to admit it but I wish I didn't have to. I burned through single stage paint using an eraser on a drill while removing vinyl stripes. On the upside I definitely learned my lesson through this and completed the rest of the truck with no strike-throughs. My problem was too high...

When detailing a vehicle that barely gets washed I often find it hard to get all the bugs and gunk off of the plastic mirror casing. What's everyone's technique or process to get the best end result? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Right now I'm working on a single stage Saab (red). I washed it then gave the car a good soaking of Meg's #7 overnight before removing it the next day. Fast forward to now I'm using my Flex 3401 with the Hybrid pads and the M105/M205 combo. My test spot looks great for the condition the paint...

If you could only have 4 polishes/compounds to tackle anything that comes your way, including single-stage paint, during production detailing what would they be? Preferably if you would list them in order from most aggressive down to least aggressive that would be a huge help. In other words...

In light of the great sale I would like to purchase a few items off my wishlist but find myself second-guessing myself on my items. My current item choices are Detailer's Waterless and Detailer's Wash & Gloss. What is your favorite rinseless or waterless wash? Along with towels to accommodate...

Hello all, Sorry for the repeat question as I'm sure it's been asked for before but my searches came up empty handed. I'm using D101 and have yet to dilute it into spray bottles for different cleaning purposes such as tires/wheels, engine, interior, etc. If somebody wouldn't mind listing...

Tonight I had the wheels off the car to paint the calipers and drums and while I was at it I noticed how bad the wheel barrels are. The barrels toward the outside are super rough, like 40 grit sand paper so it isn't just normal dirt on them. By the looks of it they've never been properly...
