ShowCarDetailing.com New Address Effective Immediately

Just wanted to let everyone know that I've moved again but this time to my own 2200sf shop here in Anaheim. I will have pix soon but for now here is the info. I have also incorporated so while I am still using ShowCarDetailing.com, I am also known as Detailing Innovations, Inc.

My new location enables me to have a retail front end when you first walk into the shop for Prima and SCD products, and a warehouse for the products and working on the cars where I can truly optimize my work flow.

At this new location I will be once again holding detailing clinics and producing how to videos. This is all VERY exciting for me!


Detailing Innovations, Inc.

Thanks! Here you go!

Still need to put up the vinyl graphics on the door. Got the fancy burglar alarm installed yesterday that calls the police even if you cut the phone lines or DSL, lol.


Part of the same building..just showing that we have plenty of parking out front.


Don't forget the number!


Please buy some Prima!


Lots of chemicals for you!

Plenty of space to work!

Some quick updates from today

Using my laser level to sight a line down the bathroom walls.


Casting a line into the bathroom as well!



Painting has begun


My good friend James, spearheaded the painting effort.



My friend Justin handled the electrical work










To combat the wayward birds, I got an owl...a fake one, lol.


First stage of painting completed

Thanks!!

re: Owl
Haha, not sure, but we've been bird free all day. Had my assistant hold the pole with the owl on it, lol. What I've been told is that you need to move the owl daily otherwise the birds are not fooled, lol.


re: colors
Thanks!! Yes, it's definitely going to be a fun place to be!!!

Already scheduling weekly detailing clinics..gotta get this place packed with enthusiasts!

Thanks for the heads up. Sponsorship rates are reasonable, especially compared to IB, lol. I agree with Slick! RJKimbell might have posted to the wrong thread, but Slick is exactly what the name implies. Smells great, easy to use, versatile on glass and paint, and nothing sticks to it once it's on. Don't bother taping the paint either, lol.

Ok...so I'll get some Slick, which is what I have been using, just wasn't sure that it was the right thing to be using??

And what about this "Natural Wax" Ken has been talking about??
