Well, I am still recovering from our completely over the top crazy July that was about 30% higher in sales, phone calls, emails, orders and such. I was not able to carve out time to make many posts to the blog but I am getting back to a consistent schedule. Oh, and I finally did my taxes from LAST year so that is a big relief.

Anyways, this last week or so I got some time to take pictures and add descriptions of 3 new Tire Pressure Gauges, 3 new rear Fog Light Lens kits, a few new Tshirts and a few other tweaks to the website. Keep an eye out for the goodies on the site. Here is one of the Tire Gauges (and the coolest).

Well, this last weekend we had quite a good time with visiting Detailing Master Ted Hersey of Ted Hersey Auto Care. Ted took our local MINI group through the basic steps of professional care washing using techniques to keep scratches at a minimum and how to get the best results. With a steady flow of questions Ted was able to cover a lot of topics including the wheel arches, the two bucket system, washing tools and tons of other stuff. The second half of the presentation focused on polishing using the Griots Garage Random Orbital Polisher and the range of polishes and Best of Show Wax to get nearly any scratch or surface imperfection out of you paint. Based on the feedback we received after the clinic, this was one of the best events of the year. As it is now in its second year, we think it will become an annual event. Check out the pics here.
