    Just an invitation to check out my website...

    Hey guys. I know it's not really automobile-photography related, but it still has some of my best work...so I thought I'd invite you guys to check it out. The address is http://www.start.at/carfuel . Hopefully I can get some of my car shots up sooner or later. Don't mind the "About" page...

    What do you guys use to dry?

    Hey guys, I'm currently using a combination of California Water Blade and 100% cotton towels to dry... However, this weekend I noticed the cotton towels putting microscratches in a 2001 BMW 325ci that I detailed. The scratches were insignificant enough that they came out with a PC and...

    San Diegans...

    I found a neat little store today. I went to Tri-City Paint over on Miramar Road (about 1/2 mile from the 15) to get a pint of colormatched Alpinweiß II PPG paint for my car, and to my surprise they had a TON of detailing products. I saw a full line of Megiuar's DETAIL series products, the...

    Does anyone here used Malco products? Or have you?

    I picked up a few bottles of Rejuvinator and Flash Liquid Paste Wax a year or so ago and used them all of one time. I didn't really like the results I achieved (using them both by hand -- this was before I got my PC7424) and within two or three weeks the swirls were back (after the Flash wax's...

    What's the deal with de-ionized water?

    I see lots of mobile guys around here detailing in the middle of the day, in direct sunlight. They even detail black cars without apparently worrying about water spots. Now I know they're using de-ionized water (I've asked several), but how is it "special" enough to let you do this? Is it...

    How about repairing pitted glass headlights...?

    I noticed the thread on polishing plastic headlight covers, but unfortunately all the headlights in my family are either plastic and covered with StonGuard or glass and pretty pitted (as on my 1989 325i and our 1992 735il). Is there any way to increase the opacity of the pitted glass lenses...

    Got some new goodies today...

    I was bored, and I need to change my oil soon here, so I stopped by Kragen for a case of Mobil1 15w-50. They had a few specials going that I couldn't pass up... I've never tired Stoner Invisible Glass, but it was $4.49 a can so I picked one up. Also, apparently Scratch-X is their "product of...

    Pro question: How do I prep a freshly Klasse'd surface for paint?

    I got a little carried away with detailing my 325i and now in my quest for perfection I've decided to put a new coat of paint onto the lower front and rear valances. Problem is, I applied Klasse AIO just two days ago. I'm going to be rolling the paint on, as the surfaces have a crinkle-finish...

    What do you guys prefer for dressing wheel wells?

    What do you guys use to dress wheel wells? Quite a few of the cars I do are lowered, so the wheel wells aren't noticeable enough to warrant more than a good scrub, but I'm detailing a Volvo V70 Cross Country this week and as some of you may know it's a bit high -- meaning you can see tons of...

    Can Klasse AIO be applied directly over 3M FI-II MP?

    Hey folks. Just cruised over here from Bimmerforums. I've been running a small detailing business for just over two years now, and I'm starting to use some new products that I have questions about. I've been using Klasse AIO and SG for a little over a year and am still completely in love with...
