    CLK550 AMG, S5, Grabber Orange Mustang- Pinnacle Auto Detail - CT

    Hey guys,     I figured I’d post this group of cars up together since they all received a similar process. These customers basically just wanted a clean and shiny car and weren’t concerned with extensive swirl removal, coatings, etc, so they chose my AIO package along with an interior...

    61 Corvette & 996 Turbo- Pinnacle Auto Detail - CT

    This 61 Corvette has been in the owner's family for two generations, was repainted approximately sixteen years ago and just had the engine (327 IIRC) refreshed before I detailed it. The repaint was of good quality; it had been wetsanded nearly flat and showed only a small amount of minor ripples...

    This X3 was just bought by a client of mine who likes to trade cars frequently (this one he'll keep until winter is over) and wanted to get the car into presentable condition inside and out. The car came from Manheim's PA location and had received some prep before being sold; the carpets showed...

    This 2006 BMW 328i in solid black was brought to me over the winter by a wholesale client looking to revive the paint while staying on budget. Just an initial glance at the car under overhead fluorescent lights showed heavy washed induced marring, rotary swirls, deep scratches, waterspot...

    Hi,   I've been looking into continuing education in the detailing field and was considering attending Todd Cooperider's class at Esoteric Auto Detail to familiarize myself with exotics and see what else I can pick up from him. Does anyone have feedback on how the after-training support is...

    Shop pics/organizational ideas

    I thought I would start a thread for people to post pics of their shops in. It would be cool to see different layouts, lighting setups, etc. Also, feel free to post any storage arrangements/workstation setups that contribute positively to workflow. Mobile guys also feel free to post your setups...

    Some grimy interiors

    I figured the forum could use a break from all the nice exotic paint corrections that have flooded the Click & Brag in the last month or so :lol1: First up is a 199x BMW 323 convertible, I was asked by a local foreign repair shop to a "restoration detail" on this one. I only had 8hrs total...

    Vosschemie autofit sytem restorer

    Hey Guys, I was just wondering if anyone has experience with, or experience locating/buying Vosschemie autofit system restorer. It may be a discontinued product (a google search yields posts from 2002). I used it once (a friend got it from a bodyshop owner) and it seemed very similar to...

    ONR cleaning power

    I've been using ONR lately to clean my car and i noticed that it doesn't have much cleaning power. I pre-soak the car with QD strength ONR and use a MF and 1 ounce of ONR (or more) in one gallon of water to wash the dirt away, and then I go over the already washed section again with ONR...

    OCP vs. 3M vs. MPP

    Hi, I have some spider webbing in my car that I've been attempting to remove with 3M Finesse-it II Finish Material 05928. I've been able to get out about 50-60% of the marks with the 3M polish, using it about 2-3 times on each panel, so I am looking for a more agressive polish. I was...

    Sonus Clay vs. Clay Magic

    Ok, This is my first post here (but i've been a lurker for a while), and I have a couple of questions. First, I was wondering which clay is better; the Sonus medium grade clay (grey) or the Clay Magic. Which one has more cleaning power and do either one of them tend to fall apart if you...
