My mother in law has a 2000 Jaguar S-Type blue with tan interior that needs autopian attnention. The exterior needs polishing, medium swirls and scratches (deep in some spots that have been touched up by a less than autopian detailer, not sure if they need wetsanding). The interior is in OK...

I placed an order for a couple menzerna polishes and wool pads I wanted to try, 1Z metal polish and ultra paint polish, and the menzerna top inspection. First off I ordered in April on the twentieth to be exact, received no notification of delay, and thought my money was gone. I do speak...

Some of you may have heard my rant in a recent thread about letting the dealer wash your car, see the before pics if you need further reinforcement not to let the dealer wash your car. It's late in the summer to be doing a full detail but I have been busy and driving my other car. So it was...

I was curious to see how others go about polishing the areas around the trim, for example the trim in the middle of the door? I typically slow the rotary down to around 1K and go at the area for a while. It seems like alot of work to me but when I have the rest of the door looking perfect...

Sorry to be posting this same car again, please excuse my enthusiasm but it's no longer a work in process. I finished up the polishing today then washed and put another coat of souveran on her. It wasn't much polishing work, just a few spots that had holograms. I used the so called German pads...

This is one of my beloved vehicles that hasn't recieved the attention it deserves lately. It needed a tune so when I left for vacation in June I let the speed shop have their way with her mechanically with strict instructions NOT TO WASH IT. Well, they proceeded to wash it with one of those...

This is one of my personal cars that took a beating when the speed shop washed it ( i was out of town back in June, they thought they were doing me a favor washing it with a broom like brush, UGHHH!) So it was time for another polish and some 'nuba. Gotta love acura paint. It is by no means...

Ok, this is long I know but here goes, I live in Falmouth, Maine. My brother (lives in Portland, Maine) and I are definitely autopians. My brother owns a gold/metallic 1995 infiniti J30t that is kept in top notch shape, generally three or more coats of carnauba at any given time. He recently...

I was wondering if some of you that use business insurance would mind sharing what companies and type of policies that you use. Is there any specific coverages that you recommend? I will be operating a shop at first and then maybe mobile too ? Thanks for your input.

Well i have had alot of body work done to my car recently and it needed a serious detail. Polishing is mostly what it needed b/c the hazing left by the shop was horrnedous, i also had a pdr guy do some work but any way process was as follows. Rinse Pre soak w/ pb sss & foam gun Rinse, then...

This is my brothers 1995 Infiniti J30t. It is his baby. Since the day he got the car it has been pampered as much as otc products can provide. We as of late we have seen the light and are now using profesional/hobbyist grade products. My brother frequently washes and waxes the car so the finish...

This is my 1997 Nissan Maxima with 326,000 northeast miles. I got it my senior year in hs and have had it ever since. Two years ago I got an Acura Cl so the Maxima was relegated to backup and now winter beater. After a long stint at my parents it probably hadn't been properly detailed in more...

These are pics of my dad's '04 maxima se with peanut butter leather and navi. Boy is it fast! Anyway it hasn't has a proper detail for winter yet (usually it get's stored but his winter vehicle is a gas guzling expedition) so i decided to give it some polish, cleaner, and then sealant. My...
