Detailed Image is proud to announce a new section of our website, Professional Detailer Articles, highlighting the work of some of the best professional detailers in the industry. Our goal is to provide easy to follow content to help you improve your detailing skills and techniques, make better decisions on what products to use and see what type of results some high end detailers achieve. We've broken down the articles into three major sections: How-To's & Articles, Product Reviews and Details Performed.

The first detailer we are recognizing on our site is Todd Cooperider, owner of Esoteric Auto Detail, located in Columbus, Ohio. Todd was recognized as one of the top 9 pro detailers in the US by AutoWeek Magazine. When you view some of Todd's work, you quickly realize why he was selected as one of the top detailers. His ability to comprehend the job at hand, formulate a game plan, and utilize proper detailing techniques combined with using quality products is what makes Todd so successful. Seeing an Esoteric Detail is exactly why detailing is viewed as an art form.

Below are some of the articles Todd has submitted and can be read in full on www.DetailedImage.com

Product Reviews

Menzerna Power Finish PO203S Review - "I have used Power Finish on a lot of cars since it was introduced, and I am always impressed with its versatility."



Optimum Opti-Seal Review - "Every great now and then a breakthrough detailing product comes along that sets the new standard with its performance, ease of use, value, or its versatility. For Optimum Opti-Seal spray sealant, it hit the mark in every single category!"



Chemical Guys Citrus Wash & Clear Review - "Not only did I find CG CWC to be high-sudsing at either ratio, but it also has a high level of lubricity to ensure your wash media glides gently across the surface of the vehicle to prevent damage to the finish. A high quality wash like this will gently lift and hold the soil in suspension for a scratch-free rinse."



Mini E-Z Detail Brush - "I find myself using the Mini E-Z Detail brush on every single detail that I perform, whether it is on the wheels, in the engine compartment, between exhaust tips, in door jambs, and more. It's truly a versatile product that every auto enthusiast should have in their arsenal of detailing tools and supplies!"



Chemical Guys Fade 2 Black - "I wanted to take a brief moment to introduce you to a tremendous interior/exterior spray dressing: Chemical Guys Fade 2 Black. Immediately following my first test it became a staple item in the Esoteric arsenal that I use on every single detail!"

subscribed! great articles!

 

good stuff

 

I've ordered all of my products from the site -- it's awesome!
The product reviews are super helpful. And I love reading the articles, it really helps to see a step by step process.

I think it would be awesome to have Todd do a detailing DVD, just the basic stuff first, etc. I bought a DVD from Meguiar's so of course I bought all of Meguiar's stuff, but all of the products at DI are much better! So a DVD I think would be super helpful -- I would have bought it!

 

Glad to hear the articles have been helpful. We will be working on some more videos in the coming year but as of now we only have a few. If you have any other questions please let me know.

Great stuff, i came into this thread to learn how to clean up my leather seats & I was amazed. I will be ordering some products when I get back from vacation, only hoping the 15% off & free shipping offer will still be available in mid August!!!!

 

Glad to hear the information was helpful. Unfortunately this sale ends on 7/31 at midnight EST so I hope you are able to take advantage of the deal before you leave. If you need us to hold the order and ship it out at a later date we can do that for you. If that is needed please just e-mail or PM with the order # and the date you'd like the order to arrive.
