I need a good auto body shop near Bethesda, MD. Hit a deer tonight and need some work done, damn.

I just got a Yamaha Virago and it needs some work so I'd like to find out how to do it. Anyone know of a website similar to autopia quality that has this kind of information? A forum would be very nice, thanks.

I was wondering how many cars a busy detail shop can do. Our business has done 10 cars so far this week and I'd like to keep busier then that. Last weekend we did 6 in one day and I'd like every day to be like that. Let me know.

I've had one for about a year now and it's still working fine and I'd like to keep it that way. Anyone have some ideas to make sure they keep going? Thanks.

I'm detailing a boat next week and it has mold/mildew stains that I will try to remove. I've tried removing stains like this from old shirts before without much luck. I was going to try ammonia, oxy clean, APC, and whatever else I have with a boarhair brush. Has anyone successfully removed a...

I've been using DACP and I like the way it works but hate that it stains trim. I've used other polishes like Stoner Polish and Seal and AIO that do not stain trim and love the ease of use but need something a little more aggressive. Any ideas?

I have the mothers polish and it's pretty good and pretty cheap but I've heard good things about flitz and would like to know the difference between the two. Anybody have that information? Thanks.

I've been wanting to get a professional ozone machine for a while now and I have a customer this weekend with severe mold and mildew problems in his van so now I have a reason. I am planning on getting this one...

I have a customer with a van that he recently purchased used and he has a severe mold and mildew problem. He said that when he purchased it the floor matts were still wet and it developed a mildew smell and that was three months ago. I plan on shampooing the carpets and floor matts and...

Where is a good resource to find local car shows? I figure it's a good way to promote business but I'm not in the loop. I'm located in Bethesda, MD. Thanks.

I've been using this stuff for about a month now and I have to say I'm very impressed. It's the easiest to use product that I've ever tried and it leaves a very nice looking and smooth finish. When I use it as a polish it removes light scratches and oxidation and then preps the paint for...

I believe that this is the professional tool that CMA talks about here . http://www.dynabrade.com/cgi-bin/Auto/10240?5JwX9ajb;;10 It features a 14mm dia offset orbit which maybe means that it may be able to remove almost as many defects that a rotary can but without the swirl marks and...

I personally don't know much about this topic but I found this aticle which seems to be highly reguarded in other forums. http://63.240.161.99/motoroil/101.html It looks like a very good atricle and basically says that you should probably be using a thinner oil and if the manufacturer...

I've been detailing at an office complex for about a month now so I've been offering a quick wash for $25. Currently it's taking me between 30-60 mins for a wash with the average being 45 mins and I think it should be going much faster. What is slowing me down is the wheels so I'm looking for...

It seems to me that trying to wax after using a polish like DACP would produce problems with the wax sticking to the paint because of all the oils left behind by a polish. I was having durability issues with EX-P and I think it may be because I was using a polish before hand. When I tried...

I know the headliner drooping can be a problem with a lot of older vehicles, how do you repair or replace a headliner? Thanks.

Some gasoline spilled in the back of my truck and got on a couple MF's. I didn't think much of it but I just washed them twice with tide and OXY clean and the whole load smells like gasoline. My guess would be to dry them and let the gas evaporate and then re-wash. Any other ideas how to...

Anyone done this before? Our hardwood floors are starting to look dull and probably need refinishing. I'm not sure if this will require sanding, polishing, waxing, all of the above, ect... Any info or links on where I can get info will be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Jon

How many of you have liability insurance for your business and how much do you pay for it? I'm trying to get insurance but I'm finding it difficult to do because I'm a new business. Any info would help a lot, thanks. Jon

I need to get a water tank for my 04 Tacoma so does anyone have one and where did they get it? Right now I'm looking at a 90 gallon rectangular tank as shown here http://www.watertanks.com/category/224/ I'd like to get something cheaper and something local would be nice as well. I use QEW...
