I usually fully agree with setting the bottle in warm water to warm it up. But, I just did a couple of client's cars about 1.5 weeks ago in 40 degree (Farenheit) weather and all I did was give it a...

When prepping the nursery area for our new son, we decided to paint the walls white and put a horizontal glossy-red stripe along the wall. Before I put the flat-black vinyl "Ferrari" scripting in...

+1 for Opti-coat. I use this on all the wheels I do at this point. Love it.

Color combo reminds me of a WRX or sport bike. I like it, but don't think I'd do it outside of those instances.

Wow, now he's going to get a big head! :laughing: But, really, he is a good guy. I have the same great impresion of him from when we met him a Detailfest 2011. They even invited us out to drink...

I was in the same boat about 9 months ago. I was thinking in terms of wireless earbuds for my phone at the time, but didn't like the insecurity of them. They had too much of a chance to fall off,...

Wow! Lmfao! Every time I hear or see something like this, I have to wonder how these people function, even succeed, in life???

I actually use neither. For real cleaning I've been using APC and a cyclo brush mounted on my DA -works a dream. I will on occasion use a microfiber for a not so dirty/well up-kept tire. I do not...

I find the n+1 formula to be accurate as well. Like collecting anything else, you can never have a "complete" collection. If you run out of storage space in the garage, you don't need less wax, you...

Pics? Is it just cracked or scratched paint we're talking about? Or actual deformation of the plastic? You mentioned the paint was still in tact. Maybe some pics of the damage would help folks...

I believe this is more a problem w/ products that contain petroleum distillates and has been confused/generalized w/ silicone.

Wow! Never something you want to hear happen to someone. Especially around the holidays. Glad to hear you came out the other side OK.

I agree w/ BobbyG, coming out on top is the best gift of...

:iagree:

I find that is a huge part of our job: educating people. It's tough, and you can't teach everyone. I know alot of people don't know/care, but I feel I have to maximize every...

Ever since I moved last year I have noticed an overwhelmingly large percentage of vehicles on the streets that have serious hologramming. I haven't nailed down if these vehicles are coming from one...

So, are your "winter shorts" a little longer, or just a different color in order to keep up w/ seasonal fashion? :laughing:

Back on topic, I used 845 last year for the A8 and it was my goto wax...

Just goes to show the value and life that can be instilled in things when properly cared for. The boat looks great and I'm sure it's a blast to enjoy, with the exception of the follow-up wash and...

My buddy suggested the same thing, 50-50 of a whole car! I agree, but thought the logistical challenges would be a nightmare. I mean, I don't have a car to just leave half undone for every show.

Note taken :props: It is unfortunate that we have to take those kind of precautions. You'd like to think the best of people. But, it is what it is.

What have you done in the past to secure...

First off, I don't know if this is the right forum to post this. If it is not, please move, and I apologize.

So, I've been pretty busy the last couple weeks. We've had dreary weather non-stop up...

Client has had the car for about a month. I had not seen it and was called to do the exterior based on his description over the phone.

Condition: most was fairly decent, but the bad areas were...

Nice transformation! You probably just doubled the value of that old Luminaries.

Looks great, Joe. I bet it was real torture to have to clean that.

In the 3rd to last picture, were you pointing out that your assistant missed a spot -time to beat him with the hose :laughing:

One of the most beautiful Audis ever produced. I remember when they launched the A5, and I've been taken by it ever since. ....now, I really need to go out and start working on my UrS4
