Time to show them off! I guess I'll start with mine. Right now it's kind of a holding space for our repainted patio furniture and a bunch of other crap. It may not look like the best space, but it has some potential. This is our fall home improvement project. We're gonna paint everything...

Where can I find the best price on a Cyclo polisher? And is it ok to use for all polishing/swirl removing steps? I'm considering either the PC or a Cyclo if the extra $ is worth it. Thanks for the help.

I did a quick detail today on this '98 Cherokee. Here's what it included: -Wash w/ NXT car wash -Wax w/ NXT tech wax -Vacuum everything, dress plastic (inside) -Wheel wells and wheels/tires w/ Simple Green -Dress wheel wells and wheels/tires w/ DuPont Teflon tire shine (I also used this on the...

My dad picked up his E320 today after service and found a pretty significant blemish on the front bumper. I whipped out the rubbing compound and gave it a shot. Turns out it was just a slight "coating", if you will, of a plastic guide post. Since I already did that, I decided that I'd do the...

I'm about to send out my final product of flyers around neighborhoods and order some business cards, but I need to come up with a company name. I've thought of "Dystro Detailing", which is the last 2 letters of my first name and the first 4 letters of my last name (kind of what Steve Millen did...

How do you do this? I don't see it in the Edit Profile. Is there a 100 post minimum before you can edit your status? Thanks.

This is my feeble attempt at a car care product collection. I bought most of this stuff (except for the towels) at Pepboys on Sunday. I think this is basically all I need for a decent detail besides the shop vac (not pictured) and the PC polisher (not purchased yet.). I plan on accumulating...

I did this one a while back, but I thought I'd post it. All I did was wash with NXT and wax with NXT liquid wax. This one's before:

I just got back from a replenishing trip. I got the Mothers 3 step system, DuPont tire shine, carpet cleaner, shop towels, and Meg's leather cleaner/conditioner. Now it's time to put up flyers so I can at least break even within the next 2 months! :wall Please critique this. I'm trying not...

I'm looking for everything. Pre-wax cleaners, polishes, waxes, everything else. I've heard Pep Boys has lots of selection. Unfortunately, the closest one to me is about 30 min. away with traffic so I don't want to make the trip for nothing. I'm also interested in a product cart that I can...

I bought one of these from Home Depot today. It's amazing! 5 hp, 4 gal. tank, wall mounts, and all the accessory tools you need for $89. Sucks like a champ too (in a good way :) ). I can pick up the floor carpeting in the Tahoe I used it on today. Simply amazing bang for the buck. The 21...

As some of you know, I'm trying to get my little detail business up and running. All I need is a name and perhaps a slogan. Fanciness is not an issue here. I'm trying to stick to the Poorboys's approach of "simple but done right". Naturally, I will showcase all Poorboy's products, so maybe...

O.K. Here goes the most childish, day-dreaming, naive question I've ever asked. It's about time for me to get that all important first car. But I don't know what I should be looking at. What has come to mind is an SUV, pickup, or a big sedan. Kind of the extreme sides of the spectrum, but...

I detail one car a weekend for around $50. That includes everything except the engine, which I charge $10 more for. I'm almost out of supplies, and I want to start fresh and replenish EVERYTHING. Wash mitts, towels, supplies, you name it. My detail jobs aren't pro pro, I don't do clay and...
