After about 4 months and applying to over 40 jobs here in Myrtle Beach, I finally got a job offer at a resort place doing customer service/data entry that pays decent and has benefits.....BUT....and the same time, I finally heard back from the Myrtle Beach Police Department about an office type...

Hey guys/girls. Quick question for ya....how hard is red to care for? I"m looking at a 2003 Mustang Mach 1 in Torch Red and was wondering how hard it is to care for red. My mom used to have a red minivan but way before I got into hardcore detailing so I haven't dealt with a red car before. I...

I put an ad in the community newsletter a few months back and I finally got a call for a detail from someone in my development. The lady is a stay at home mom and drives a white 2004 F-150 SuperCrew. I quoted her a price, lower than what I would usually charge for a truck but I'm trying to get...

Today I finally got the chance to detail my black '98 F-150. I last did a full exterior detail back in August and I just wasn't happy with the results. My truck was swirl city and the black looked faded. I had used PB SSR2 with a cutting pad followed up with SSR1 but the swirls just weren't...

Detailed my 1998 F-150 today since it was 60+ degrees and I wanted to finally try out the new products I got from Poorboy from the 20 day giveaway and what I got for Christmas. Process: -Turtle Wax ZIP wash--great stuff believe it or not! -Dried with Cali Waterblade and 20x40 Cobra WW-got free...

Today it was in the high 50's here in Myrtle Beach, SC so I decided to give my F-150 a quick bath with Blue Coral soap and filtered water from the Mr Clean thingy. I haven't DETAILED my truck in 6 months but it still has a great shine. Paint is smooth but swirls are showing up. I just washed...

If you don't know, I recently won 1 of the 20 days of December to Remember that Steve (Poorboy) has been running for us here at Detail City. I won Monday (if I remember correctly) and today(Friday) my products arrived at my doorstep! Not only was that FAST shipping but when I opened the box I...

I know there is a post about cheap carpet shampooers somewhere but I am too lazy to search. I saw the Little Green Machine at Walmart the other day for $68. Mind you, I'm not a professional detailer by any means but I do detail my own ride along with my parents and others when they call on me...

Recently I have been toying around with the idea of getting a second car for driving every once in a while and mainly for the weekends. I already have a F-150 just in case my detailing makes it to the next level. I live at the beach and its nice at least 8-9 months out of the year so I was...

THe day before Thanksgiving I tried helping my bro detail his new car, a 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix GT. WE didn't have a lot of time because we were expecting family and we needed to go out and get beer before the family showed up. He washed it and dried it and then I was going to show him how to...

After weeks of researching camcorders, I went to Circuit City today to try out a few of them. At first I wanted something with a really good zoom, 3ccd, miniDV and compact. I found out I would have to sacrafice one for the other...3ccd with not a great zoom or sacrafice the 3ccd for a good...

This week my brother is in town with his new ride, a *BLACK* 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix GT. This is his first car that he is paying for all by himself. He had a Wrangler and a F-150 before this but those were cars that were given to him to drive. Now he's buying his first car on his own and he's...

Is there any kind of evidence that there is going to be some Black Friday or Christmas sales from any of the sponsors? My mom is getting on me about what I want for Christmas and I know I need some detailing stuff but I don't want to order the stuff now and a couple weeks from now see...

Specialty Motoring has 16x27 WW MF's for $5.95 each or 3 for $14.95. Are these anywhere as good as the previous ones that I bought from PAC? The ones I got from PAC are 16x24 for like $9.95 each. Should I stick with the ones from PAC? Thanks for the advice.

I need to e-mail Dwayne to find out about a few products that used to be on the website that aren't there now before I decide to go PAC or Autogeek. Autogeek has everything I need and want but I've always ordered from PAC because of the great service, fast shipping and the once in a while free...

Yesterday I washed my BLACK truck and HELLOOOOOO swirl city! I did a complete detail back in late July and the EX has help up really good(still beads when it rains) but it needed a wash after a road trip last weekend. I washed and dried it off with a WW and it was swirled like crazy. The...

My mom and grandma asked me to put together a X-mas list so they can look into what I want. I'm going on a cruise in March and thought a video camera would be perfect for that, and when I get back into the Mustang scene for car shows and what not. I've been looking and playing around with a...

Today I finally was able to detail my dads '99 Ford F-150 XL. It hasn't been detailed in I don't know how long. I know it hasn't been washed in a long time either. It has its share of scratches or minor dings. He takes care of it but he's not obsessed over keeping it in great shape. Anyways...

The other day I washed my BLACK F-150 and to my surprise, it is swirl city only after 2 months from daily driving and highway driving. I didn't have time to detail it but I wanted to see if I could fix the fender to see results with my products. AS far as the fender went, I tried SSR2 on an...

Late last night I was doing a search for detailing books and came across a recently (April 2005) published book called "Start Your Own Detailing Business" by Eileen Sandlin. I went out today and bought it because detailing is a passion to me and I would like to at least do it professionally...
