Hey peeps, I'm looking for a guy by the name of Shane in Lakeland, MN that works for the Belzer dealership group. He is apparently a pro detailer that works for the Belzer group. I was told he posts on here. Anyone know of him?

This customer PM'ed me in the spring about detailing his 2010 GTI inside & out but we just now got it knocked out. He was nice enough to make an hour or so trip to leave his car with me for a long weekend. Overall, the exterior was in great shape. Paint had very few swirls. They were too...

I realize that Griot's classifies their orange pads as "polishing" pads, but most (if not all) other orange pads on the market are considered "cutting" pads. Can someone from AG tell me if the Griot's orange pad is more of a cutting pad or a polishing pad? Which LC pad is it most comparable...

Mike, hoping you can help me out here. Local detective's Charger that they think sat under a tree (that's all I have to go off of). When I first saw the vehicle, I thought a clay bar or some Tarminator would remove the stains. Boy was I wrong. I've thrown everything at these stains including...

Last weekend I sponsored Midwest Mazdafest 2009. The event coordinator asked that I detail his '04 RX-8 for the event. Since this is more of a show car, it was already in pretty good condition. The paint had some swirls but I was able to knock most of them out with a 2-step. On to the...

Driven Auto Detail: 2004 Mazda RX-8 (Titanium Grey) I sponsored a regional Mazda car show called Mazdafest this past Saturday. After detailing the event coordinator's RX-8 prior to the event, which I'll post later, his friend decided to have his RX-8 detailed for Mazdafest as well. -PREP-...

I met this client at our last Chamber of Commerce luncheon. It's an '06 Grand Prix GXP. It was in pretty good condition overall but had never been detailed to my knowledge. Pretty simple job nonetheless. -PREP- Pressure-rinse entire vehicle. Pre-treat door shuts, wheel wells, and front end...

This 2009 Mercedes E350 4-Matic was one of the very first cars to come through my new facility. It only had approximately 2500 miles on the ODO. The owner was one of my professors in college, whom I am still friends with. -WASH- Pressure-rinse entire vehicle. Pre-treat door shuts, wheel...

Ok, this comparison for a recent thread on another board that questioned the sound level of the Flex 3403. You be the judge of which is louder. In person, I think that the Flex is louder. I've even thought about wearing small ear plugs while using it. Video comparison...

This customer was a referral from a local body shop. The customer is going to be selling this truck so he wanted to get it cleaned up a bit. Because this truck is so big, it hadn't been washed in about a year. This truck serves as the customer's office on wheels. He owns and electrician...

I was given a free sample of this product and agreed to post an honest review so here it is. I used this product to test the cleaning ability on our Mazda3's dashboard. I had applied Optimum Protectant Plus at least 3 months ago (which was still going strong). I sprayed EcoTouch D+T Cleaner...

This '08 Mini Cooper belongs to the father-in-law of my good friend with the white Saturn Aura that I recently posted. He just bought it a couple months ago and wanted to get it cleaned up and protected. I started off with an ONR wash. From there moved to claying. With the paint being...

This car belongs to the wife of one of my good friends. The vehicle was first washed with Optimum Car Wash. After the wash, it was apparent that it needed a good clay bar treatment. There was a lot of very noticeable rail dust stuck in the paint. After claying, I turned on the halogens to...

This 2004 Cadillac Deville was a referral from a local body shop. Any GM paint that I work on always seems to be on the tough side. This vehicle had some swirls but weren't that noticeable until I got the halogens out. I couldn't see any with the Brinkmann handheld light gun. This was a Full...

Still skeptical about ONR? *Video Added* This is just a wash, but I thought it was worth posting... Our Mazda3 has seen better days. It was awfully dirty from all the nasty weather we've had lately. I decided to not wash it sooner because I wanted to give ONR a real test :) So, for those...

This customer was referred to me from a local body shop. Customer is in the National Guard and was getting sent to Iraq so he wanted to get it cleaned up, ready to sell. The exterior of the vehicle wasn't in too bad of shape. It appeared that it was run through the local car wash recently as...

My wife is a graphic designer at one of the local hospitals. When we started my business a couple months ago, we approached the hospital about offering my services as a concierge service to all hospital employees. The reason we did this is because they have a 4-page list of preferred retailers...

This job has an interesting story behind it. A guy I know that does mobile bumper repair told me about a guy opening up a detail shop about 10 minutes west of where I live. A few weeks later I just happened to be in the area so I figured I'd drive by this place to check it out. After finding...

Hey peeps, thought I'd post one of my recent jobs. The vehicle belongs to the Brownsburg Police Department and it serves as the prisoner transport van. Being 11 years old and never garaged, it was very oxidized and beat up. The Chief of Police asked me if I could do anything for it and I told...

Hey guys, just wanted to post up some pics of my truck and trailer setup. Justin, I know you asked about pics of everything a couple weeks ago so sorry it took so long. I haven't had time to get everything organized in the trailer like I'd like (bottle holders, permanent drawer system, etc.)...
