Detailed Image News Blog

Detailed Image is excited to announce our new Ask-a-Pro section of our website, which is quickly becoming the go-to resource for auto detailing information. Our goal of the new section is to provide you with a means to interact with some of the best detailers across the country and continue to provide you with quality, unbiased information on auto detailing processes, techniques and products. The Ask-a-Pro section is headed by Todd Cooperider, owner of Esoteric Auto Detail, who was named one of the best auto detailers in the US.

We felt Todd was a perfect fit for our new program not only for his vast understanding of auto detailing, but the fact that he can understand his mindset during a detail and document it in such a way that you feel you are performing the detail along side with him. He does an exceptional job educating his audience and that is our primary goal for all content we publish on our site. Todd’s professionalism and continuous drive to further educate himself on anything he does, is the reason why he is at the top of the detailing industry and why we wanted him to be so involved with the program.

Todd has been hand selecting some of the finest professional detailers across the US to participate in our Ask-a-Pro section. The detailers chosen to participate in the Ask-a-Pro section have proven themselves to share the same passion for detailing and professionalism as Todd does. This community of top quality detailers will help provide you with multiple perspectives on various detailing subjects and product usage. We are excited to introduce you to some of the best detailers around the country and hope you find value in the knowledge they share.

As new detailers are selected to participate in our program, they will be added to our Detailed Image approved detailer map.  We will continuously be seeking qualified detailers and updating our map on a regular basis so you don’t have to look far for a quality recommendation for a detailer in your area.  While the map may be scarce in some areas across the country, we want to ensure we are only recommending the absolute best detailers in a given area that maintain a high level of professionalism and use only high quality auto detailing products and the best techniques to give you jaw dropping results every single detail.

We want our customers to get involved in the Ask-a-Pro section and you can do so in a couple of ways.  If you have an auto detailing question, submit it to Ask-a-Pro@detailedimage.com and your question will be answered by one of the pros from our team.  Another way you can participate is by commenting on any articles or questions published.

You can easily search our published articles and answered questions by using the categories listed on the left hand side or by searching in the Google search box.  Also, you can sort the articles by author, so if you have a favorite detailer you’d like to follow, you can do so by selecting their author page.  If you don’t find what you are looking for, remember you can always submit a question!

Exciting New Content and Promotions!

We hope you enjoy the new section and if you have any questions or suggestions on anything, please do not hesitate to contact any of us.

Effective today we will no longer be shipping packages to international, APO, or US Territory addresses.  We will continue to ship domestically to all 50 states using FedEx Ground, FedEx Home, and FedEx Express.

This was a very difficult decision for us, but we feel that as we grow and expand domestically, we are unable to provide the same cost effective, reliable shipping service to our international customers that we do to our US customers.

Anyone wishing to ship our products internationally may want to consider using a US-based freight forwarding service such as Bongo International.  (Please note: we are not affiliated with any freight forwarding company.  All questions should be directed to their respective customer service departments.)

We want to thank all of our international customers for their support over the years.

If you have any questions or comments, feel free to email us at support [at] detailedimage [dot] com.

Sincerely,

The Detailed Image Team

The new Lake Country Hydro Tech pads are made from a special European foam with a closed cell or non-reticulated design. It slows down the absorption of polishes in the pad so you get more time to work the polish in. You will get noticeably more cutting power while finishing down smoother and glossier. Use the Cyan Pad to apply medium and heavy cutting polishes and follow up with Tangerine Pad and a light polish. Try these pads today!

Also available now are 5.5" size Lake Country pads.
