So haven't been doing any detailing, let alone posting for a while so time to break that chain!
2007 Silver Cadillac CTS. The car was in pretty new condition. There was a few deep scratches that I didn't take out, as the owner was already aware of them. His only concern for today was just an...
This was a fairly short detail. The owner just wanted a whole bunch of scratches removed from the rear of the SUV and above the driver side door handle. The ones on the spare tire case and the drivers door panel were fairly easy to remove. The ones on the bumper however were a different story...
This was a fairly easy detail. It's a brand new '07 Lexus IS 350. There wasn't any major swirling so I didn't see buffing as a major concern at this point in time. Anyways, heres the rundown.

This is a white pearl Mistubishi Eclipse. The whole drivers side was repainted because the car was involved in an accident. There were other parts of the car that didn't quite looked stock either but the owner didn't know of any other repaints. A lot of areas lacked the depth and gloss compared...
I first detailed this car about a year ago :buffing: Compared to how I first seen it, it was in great condition this time around. There were some swirl marks present as well as water spots on the paint and glass. The wheels however were in really bad condition. The brake dust seemed to have...
This was the hardest detail I've had to do to date. This White Honda Accord was badly oxidized considering it's only a 200? model. It was bought second hand from a local dealer and supposedly looked good upon initial inspection from the owner. Though after they took it through the dealer car...
So this detail was for a fellow autopia member Euro. Overall the car was in great condition except for some minor swirling. First time detailing a mini for me so the curves along the hood were a little hard to get to with the pads that I had. For the most part I was able to take them out except...
So todays detail was a friend of mines 2006 Speedway Blue Toyota Tacoma X-Runner. Overall it was in good condition. There was some slight swirling present, and a small amount of water spotting/etching on the glass. Considering this only took 4 hours, it was one of my better days =) The...
This belongs to my foreman's brother. It seems as if it was never washed/waxed since they got it :think2 Anyway, the swirling wasn't that bas as it is a fairly new truck. Anyways, heres the process

Remember that BMW I did a couple months ago? Well it came back to me. Water spotting was present yet again as were some swirls. The spotting was the worse though, for whatever reason it seemed harder to take off this time then last. Anyways, this was a freebie detail since my friend uses this as...
Did this the other day for my mom as part of their Xmas gift.
The car wasn't in to bad of a condition as far as swirls go, however there were some hard water spots on the car. The real drawback however were the numerous dings along the passenger side panels, and a dent on the drivers side...
That's the only picture I got right now. Needless to say I opened my Xmas gift early :woot2:

Todays detail is an unknown year Buick Regal. Judging by the condition the car was in though I'd say it was about early - mid 90's. The owner just had the car repainted and didn't want to buff the car (didn't realy need it anyway, swirling is minimal - none) What the owner didn't tell me was...
Todays detail was an old Ford 250 Diesal Truck. For the amount of years it has on it, the truck wasn't in that bad of a condition. Actually I was expecting a lot worse when the owner told me he wanted it to "shine again." There was some minor swirling present and the paint was slightly beginning...
