    OK so I have 75% of the graphics drawn & stenciled, to include some pretty cool looking wavy checkered flags, re-designed the phone number graphics last night, and have been playing around with some...

    Re: Is the real money in lower end detailing??

    Know that feeling all to well... I can't wait to put to use everything I learned, bought, and intend to buy... but won't start until it's an official business!

    Re: enamel paints?

    Great info Mike.

    Just out of curiosity when working on a single stage paint, how often should the pad be changed?

    Obviously, the paint transfers to the pads, but is there a way to gauge when...

  7. Re: Bentley Flying Spur Correction by Advanced Detailing of South Florida

    My first thought; "WHAT... no cold beers in the fridge?"

    That was a major improvement, looks 100x better! :dblthumb2:

    Re: Hi guys

    Shop looks killer... I'm laying out a 2 year plan to have a full service detailing shop with maybe 4-6 bays, showroom, lobby, lounge, and auto accessories store.

    Little hard work and some luck......

    Re: Update on abandoned truck

    Slip of the tongue/finger or sumfin, I stand corrected.
