Well fellow detailers. It has been an absolute blast the last few years to detail cars. It started from a hobby, to an obsession, into a small sole proprietorship. I graduated from college this summer and start a full-time job tomorrow. Its not necessarily my dream job but the income is good...

The following three cars were done in one day from 9am to about 10pm. All three were just mini details with no paint corrections. The VW was in the worst shape having sat outside for a loooong time collecting massive amounts of tree sap and tar. The Lambo and the Maser had very very minor...

Car is a 2004 Ferrari 575M. Car was recently purchased a few months ago and the new owner wanted to get it polished up. This car really needed some love and the before pics don’t actually do the swirls seen in person justice. The owner brought this over to the house I was detailing Bentley...

Car is a 1994 Bentley Brooklands Long Wheel Base in a dark green with roughly 40ish thousand miles. Has had some panels repainted at one point and the car overall needed some good amount of polishing. The paint was pretty hard and the hood and trunk had some major pitting and etching. I...

Finished detailing this 1967 Ferrari 330 GT in a Dark Olive Green. The car was restored and repainted about 3 years ago. I guess the last body shop/detailer left a good amount of buffer trails around the vehicle and the car had a good amount of hazing and swirls. I spent 13-14 hours over two...

Well it’s been awhile since I have posted on here. I have just been busy with many things, including detailing. I have done a couple of other cars but didn’t have time to document like I wanted, so no bother posting them. Today I completed a detail on this 1988 Ferrari Mondial 3.2...

Can’t say that I actually fully-detailed this car, but the owner (whom I have detailed two other cars for) was picking this up last night and I wanted to give it a free “quick detail.� I took a bunch of photos primarily since I am in LOVE with this car. It’s a 2007...

The detail of this 1997 F355 Spider was completed over the course of a couple of days. The first day was just correct the hood. Apparently the car has had some paint work and it looked liked someone wetsanded the passenger side of the hood and never buffed it out! After talking with the owner...

Detailed this 1950 Mercury Coupe. The car was repainted black 16 years ago with a lacquer finish and will be getting a repaint again a few years from now. The car was heavily swirled and hazed. The paint itself if bubbling in many areas and there were a lot of burnt edges/areas from the...

This is a 2001 BMW M5 with around 93,XXX miles. Half the car has been repainted one point or another and sees nothing but auto washes. Wow this car was rough. I got so frustrated with it. The repainted panels buffed out to near perfection while the original painted panels were a PITA. The...

1993 Mustang LX 5.0 completed yesterday (Saturday). Car belong to a guy I know and he has to sell it. I knew I had my work cut out for me and we both knew close to perfection was not an option. I did everything I could in the time I had it. Some panels have been repainted and those buffed...

The car is a 1996 Ferrari 355 Berlinetta. Owner recently purchased it and wanted it detailed. Previous owner didn’t appear to take very good care of it as it was pretty swirled and the marring was a little deep. The paint is single stage and was actually a little bit of a pain to work with...

Moderators please feel free to move to appropriate section. Sooooo , what ever happened to the Extreme Detail Contest!!??! Remembering a few years back when I entered them, they were a great monthly contest with reward of a $100 Autopia.org store gift certificate. Did the contest go away...

Detailed was completed on Saturday. Car was dropped off at my house at 9 am and I finished at roughly 7pm as the sun was tucking down for the night. Car was in rough shape thanks to a local detail shop that left buffer trails EVERYWHERE. Luckily they weren’t too deep and the paint was not...
