Evenin', I've had the Flex for two months now and decided to finally give it a try on my wife's Explorer. Incredibly pleased with it, an absolute joy to work with. Gone are the days of numbness after using the PC. 1) Wash with CG Citrus Wash n' Gloss and ShMITT 2) Dry with Cobra Guzzler...

Oi oi, My boss bought a new truck, he wanted me to give it a good layer of protection. Out with the Zaino! He bought the truck with a few hundred miles on it, so it was obvious that a few goons had washed it incorrectly. I even saw a few faint buffer holograms, but nothing too bad. It...

Evenin' chaps, A very loyal customer here, this is his trailer queen. He loves Zaino, so that's all we used on this one. Enjoy the pics, she was very clean when she arrived. We kicked that up a notch or two. FYI on customer: he hangs out during ENTIRE detail and inspects finish at all...

Afternoon, Since I was out of the country for a while, my truck had been outside at my parent-in-law's house the entire time. I put on a layer of Pete's '53 before we left and it held up well. But regardless, the thing was dirty. I foamed the entire truck to release as much dirt as...

Afternoon gents, Not the most exciting of details here, but this is the daily driver of the '08 Golf R32 I maintain for him, so I had to show it some love. Pic of his R32, what a beaut! (http://autopia.org/forum/click-brag/95227-one-first-2008-vw-golf-r32.html) It has not been...

Evenin' everyone, Had a lot of fun on this detail, great paint to work with and probably my favorite so far. The morning started off rough. Last night I went drinking and drank way too much Paulaner. Two pitchers did me in. I fell asleep in South Austin somewhere and woke up at 4:15am...

I remember that about 7 years ago, a guy was selling Zaino out of his garage around Austin and I visisted him once to buy my first batch. Cannot find his information anymore, does anyone have a contact for a Zaino reseller in Austin? Thanks!

Afternoon, This is my daily driver. Hasn't been polished in over a year, but with the proper washing and drying techniques she's staying pretty. I got some CG EZ Creme Glaze in this week and thought to give it a try. I was very pleased with the end results. Remember, this is applied on...

I posted this in one of Scott's topics, but I wanted everyone to see this. Last Sunday, I was on a bike ride when I passed a small local dealership and saw this black '03 Expedition. I couldn't believe how poorly this SUV was detailed. Absolutely the worst hologramming I have ever seen...

First of all, I know it's "old technology" but it works great for me. Anywho: is Z1 strictly a bonding agent or is it a pre-wax cleanser like HD Cleanse?

Evenin', When my neighbor pulled up in this vehicle about 1,000 miles ago, I was in love. What a beautiful machine! Classy, understated but an absolute beast! Well, he had just gotten through the break-in period and had caned it back and forth to the Texas coast and it was filthy. I offered...

Evenin', This VW was an absolute treat to work on. It's on of 5000 to be sold in the US and this guy had one of the first. He picked it up on Monday and it's got less than 100 miles on it. I told him to tell the dealership not to mess with it when it came off the truck and I'm glad he...

I just waxed and then buffed two vehicles with my new Chemical Guys "ELITE DELUXE SUPER PREMIUM MICROBIFER MICRO-BANDED 8.75mm THICK SUPRA MICROFIBER TOWEL" and I can safely say that it's *much much* softer than the Cobra Deluxe Jrs. I bought seven of them and gave two to a co-worker. Came...

Finally placed another CG order, only thing not shown is the JetSEAL 109 that I gave to a buddy at work for him to try out on his F-250. The blue Waffle Weave is almost 100% the same compared to my AG Guzzlerz, but a lot cheaper and actually larger. Same goes for the yellow/black MFs...

Since CG now sells CCS pads, I'm about to make another purchase. I already have their Pete's '53 and the Citrus Wash. Is there anything else they sell that I should be looking at? If you have any CG personal favorites, please let me know!

Are there any detailers from Austin here? Anyone have any product for sale or trade?

This was actually my first paid detail, but I never posted it here. What did I learn from it? That $50 is way too little for this much work! Good times... A friend at work was going to sell his Lexus and it needed a good detailing. As you can see in the pictures below, there were some...

I was looking for a good new 5 gallon bucket that is I can see through at the same time. Finally found what I was looking for a Lowe's for a little more than $5. Love this thing. Since I have to be "careful" when mixing CG Citrus Wash with 4-5 gallons of water, I can measure exactly how much...

I was in a small Texas town on Saturday and wondered into this dusty old place called Bargain City. Look what I found! It was being sold for $1.88 a piece and I bet they at least had 100x of these tins sitting around in boxes. I should have bought some for nostalgia's sake... :woot2:

My wife was out having out a business dinner, so what better time to spend on detailing my bike for the summer season than now! It's a 2005 Santa Cruz Blur with the best of the best on it. If you're into mountain bikes, you might recognize some of the bits. A very, very nice bike and it's a...
