Wow, it's been a while since I've posted here! I've since gotten my car dealers license... tomorrow I plan to pick up a 2004 Audi A8L... it was in the estate of a gentelman that did a lot of traveling from Florida to Cleveland. Apparently he encountered lots of bugs... and his tool of choice...

I decided I no longer have a need for such a nice daily driver since I'm always flipping cars and have an extra, so I'm selling my ES300 and using most of the money to go towards school / investments. However, I'm giving myself $2000 to spend on my other car, an SC300. Right now it's just...

Well, leaving to buy my new car in 4 hours! It's a 5 hour drive, so I should be back to get some cruising and pics in! It's a high milage SC300, but VERY clean and suposidly nothing wrong with it. The hood has rockchips and there are some minor scratches on the bumper... but I'm not too...

Well, still not happy with the way my car turned out. However, it got to the point where I realized the flaws were just in the paint and nothing I could do about them... and that I can only make a $200 paintjob look so good lol. Started this a while back, and just got around to doing the...

Some of you may remember my post a while back about the opportunity with the car alarm / car stereo store in a nice area. Well, it's been snowing, and just not that great of time to consider detailing, but I'm about to work a deal out with him this week. I was going to propose that he takes...

Well, I'm searching for that "perfect" MR2 and just can't find one in decent shape in my price range. I'm considering buying a poor condition MR and painting it myself. When done right, custom paintjobs on these cars can make them look just completely amazing. I've never painted a car before...

My mom told me this morning "your windows are so clean, I can't even see them!". You can immagine how that turned out. Someone smashed my windows out on my TSi and stole my $400 stereo, some cologne, and change. Luckily I think they left everything under the hood alone, but I haven't...

Hmm so my TSi has been in the street for a few days since it broke down. My tags on it were expired, since I sent in a custom plate request online, paid my $100, and then they said the request wasn't available afterall and they are holding my money. Few cops pound on the door at 12:30am...

Well, my marketing plan for marketing class is due next week. I admit I've put it off way too long, but on the bright side, I decided to use the subject as starting a detailing company. It shouldn't take very long to write a 10page paper when you can include graphs/charts... plus being very...

I thought it must just be oxidation, but he does seem to be right... that it looks like the clear is chipping off. I've seen beauty shots of AIO working magic on these mr2s, so if it was just fade and the price was right I'd still consider buying it. What do you think...

Hmm so at this point I have only really been using OTC products. I'd like to pick up some of the so called "designer" products. I can't pass up the $75 free shipping code (which hopefully can be combined with the 10% off) at the autopia store, so here is my list so far: Lake county...

Has anyone else had the urge to stop and ask a random person if they were interested in selling their car? I've been searching everywhere for a nice MR2 turbo with t-tops. This guy a few streets over from my grandparents has what seems to be a clean (not to autopian standards, but it could be...

Well, the electricity was out here and we have had over 6" of snow in the past 12 hours... so what do I do? The obvious choice is go shopping for detailing supplies! I could only find a lot of stuff I didn't need or already had, but then I came across these products and they seemed pretty...

Hmm so I'm glad I didn't get too far into my spring detailing, as since early this morning it has been snowing in Cleveland. We probably have about an inch of accumulation so far, and it's falling harder now than it was earlier in the day. So... I'm sitting at home because it's like nobody...

Well, hopefully this turns into one of those right place at the right time stories. My friend asked me to meet him in the parking lot of a large aftermarket car stereo and parts store before cruising out to a car show... It was past 11 and I saw there were people there so I parked next door. I...

Well, had to pick up another bucket, so I usually get the cheapie buckets at Dollar Tree. Before I left I spent over $10.... obbviously that is not much, but still 10x more than I planned on, lol. I bought: 2 3-packs of bug n tar sponges (solid sponges, bought some last year) 2 packs of...

Here is the interior on a Chevy Blazer... it is probalby one of the worst interiors I have had to deal with. The carpet was completely disgusting, the panels had probably 1/8" dust and dirt, and the whole interior looks like it has never been detailed since the car was new. This is especially...

Guys, if you find anything at Target lets post it here and I will update the original thread. Target often has some form of detailing products on clerance every week, and they have various markdown schedules. The reason for one thread is that sometimes a product will be on sale one location...

There was a thread a while back talking about people that have purchased police cruisers... I know there were a few very knowledgable members, but I can not find the thread. So... just thought I'd post and ask a few questions. I'm looking at buying a 2000 police cruiser tomorrow. It is...

Hey everyone, Today was finally nice out so I decided to expiriment with the rotary. (It's my first time ever using the tool.) It is the Chicago Electric $25 rotary... used on a very oxidized finish with a 6.5" Lake County pad, and #83. I kept it on setting 1 or 2, and made quick passes...
