    My mini-review of HD Speed

    This weekend I had a chance to use HD Speed on two different trucks, one a red Ford Sport Trac Adrenalin and the other a black GMC Sierra. The Adrenalin was supposed to be a simple wash/clay/seal, but I figured it would be a good test for Speed. The truck is an 08 with relatively low miles, and...

    Thank you to Ben@Autopia

    I just wanted to take a moment to thank Ben for a quick resolution to a very minor dilemma. I was excited to get a chance to use and review the new HD Speed and Polish, and even more excited to see I was in the first batch to ship out. But after waiting a week and a half, I figured there must be...

    CMC Detailing- Black Audi S5

    Germans are best known for building supercars and luxury cruisers, but every now and then they will sneak in something different. This Audi S5, along with maybe a few cars sporting the AMG label, is as close as the Germans get to building a good, old-fashioned muscle car. The thunderous...

    CMC Detailing-Lotus Elise SC Final Edition

    Ever since I was a kid, I've been in love with Lotus cars. At one point I had several Esprit Turbo posters in my room....I seem to remember a 959 in there somewhere, but prancing horses and raging bulls were noticeable by their absence. When the Esprit finally went out of production, I was a...

    FS:Flex 3401 with extra BP

    I'm selling my Flex XC3401 along with the backing plate to accept 5.5" pads. It recently came back from Powerhouse Distribution where they installed a new power cord, speed switch and thermal sensor. This thing is as good as new. Asking $175 + shipping.

    CMC Detailing-BMW Z4 M Coupe

    A friend of mine recently talked his Dad into trading his Hyundai Genesis in for this low mileage M Coupe. This is a car I've always had a thing for, so when my friend asked if I could detail his Dad's new-to-him car, I was pretty excited. And I made him a deal...help me from start to finish...

    Which Dynabrade attachment are you using?

    Seeing the recent interest in Dynabrade attachments (61318,61384,61379, etc) I couldn't help but notice many different styles that all seem very similar. Which ones are being used, and what are your thoughts on it?

    A very sad day for me :(

    Well, as of yesterday I'm officially M3-less. I knew this day would come eventually but I didn't realize how horrible the feeling of seeing my M drive off without me would be. It was always a dream car, and even though I've got new dream cars and plan to one day move into one of them, it's still...

    CMC Detailing-SVT Cobra w/Heavy Waterspotting

    Although I've never been much of a Mustang guy, the SVT Cobras have always appealed to me. They have a more stripped-down, all-business look to them compared to standard Mustangs and GTs. The subtle decklid spoiler replaces the gaudy rear wings of other, lesser 'Stangs. No hood scoops are found...

    CMC Detailing-06 Mercedes E350 correction

    I had first seen this car last year after it had been "detailed" by another local shop. At the time, it was shiny and black...but still had some light holograms poking through. Some time had passed and those light holograms became less and less "light" so the client contacted me to come in and...

    Car and Driver does it again!

    I'm in shock at this month's C&D. After all the commotion caused by their ridiculous detailing article a few months ago, I'd been patiently waiting for a retraction, apology, or the like. I know they caught absolute hell over it online, and there had to be more than a few detailers write in...
