We were fortunate to have two nice cars to do Sunday, an Arctic White E92 M3 and a metallic grey Acura RDX. Both were in very good overall condition, but the M3 did have some significant swirling on the horizontal surfaces. The paint on the RDX was pretty swirl free, but had its share of paint...

Had the pleasure of working on this Arctic Silver '06 Cayman S yesterday. A 12,000 mile car that has been very well maintained, but had just returned from a long road trip and was just generally due for the attention that it deserves. Why can't all cars be this nice to work on? Process...

Saw this at Tuesday Morning for $24.99. How could I say no? Sit & Store

...but that's not the story. Decided to put a layer of OptiCoat on my wife's 328i, which is never garaged and should be a good testimonial for potential OptiCoat customers. This car was polished about 5 months ago and then received two coats of UPGP which was holding up very well. The paint...

This is my neighbor's gorgeous '97 993 Carrera 4S with a whopping 26,000 miles. Prepare yourselves for the least exciting before & after ever. The photos do this car absolutely no justice. Between no sun, silver paint, and the photography skill of a chimpanzee, the quality of the car doesn't...

This '99 996 is my personal daily driver and spends most every day parked at an oil refinery. I've made an attempt to remove the etching via polishing, but it was just too deep on the horizontal surfaces. Not too noticeable being silver, but you couldn't miss it once you were aware of it...

Loving the results that I can get from HD Uno & Poxy, but do have one complaint. The bottles look the same, and if you have your head 'elsewhere' it's easy to squeeze a little Poxy on your pad when you are polishing and mean to use Uno. This might not be an issue if age hasn't started to...

A couple years back, when HD car care was getting started, I ordered the HD Free, Total, and a couple bottles of UNO. I've reordered the Free and Total several times, as they are both phenomenal products. The UNO, on the other hand, was a disappointment. It worked well, but was so difficult...

Is there a 'one size fits all' APC from 3D? I see that they offer several versions, but would like to only buy one and dilute it as needed for different uses. I'm thinking that the citrus APC might be the one to go with, but would appreciate a little guidance. Thanks!

Have been thinking about doing this for a while and decided to go ahead and move forward with it. Having a full time job, it will only be on afternoons and weekends, so that will limit my customer base, but that's OK. One thing that I don't want to do is encroach on anyone in the area that...

A couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure of working on our 1967 Porsche 911S. We had just got the car in about a week before and the car had very bad swirling and wet sanding marks across the car. We were displaying the car at our local Porsche concourse show that weekend so I had to get right...

This detail took part over two days and over 11 hours. The paint was in terrible shape and hadn't been polished in over a year. Unfortunately it has been raining :grrr over the last couple of days so no before shots. I used a UDM. EXTERIOR- Clay with Sonus Green clay Optimum Compound...

Will post under my dads username again... Over the past month I have been adding a layer of Ultima to my car every couple of days. I now have about 10 layers on there and the paint looks remarkable. (I'm sold on Ultima) Yesterday afternoon I gave it an ONR wash and added another layer of...
