Hey guys I have a Nissan GTR (Black) scheduled for next week and have been trying to investigate the supposed "Self Healing Paint". Does anyone know for sure if this car has this technology...is it standard or did the buyer have to special order it? I will say that if this car does have it, the...

It’s been awhile since I posted a detail and just finished this 2002 Audi A4 with 98,000 miles on the odometer. It had some pretty good scratches on it so I thought it would be a good one to post. Process: Washed with Megs Gold class and Foam gun -2 bucket wash with grit guards -Clay...

Hello all. I am curious to learn what speeds you guys are using with your FLex Orbital polisher. I will be honest and say that I almost always use Speed 6 when correcting, and maybe drop down to 5. Speed 3 when spreading the polish but then its usually right up to 5 or 6. I've read posts where...

This car was definitely a challenge. There was a lot of water etching, insect etchings, heavily scratched head lights, and a ton of really deep scratches mixed in with the usual swirls. The toughest part of this detail was getting all the deep scratches out. There were at least 4 deep scratches...

Even though this is one of my all time favorite automobiles, I spent so much time on this car that I was actually thrilled to finally be done with it. This was definitely the most difficult car I have worked on to date. I thought I would be dealing with a relatively medium/soft clear coat but...

I have this job coming up this weekend most likely and according to the client he said this was the way the dealer prepped his Lamborghini Murcielago. There is white wax residue all over the black honey comb trim on the top of the car. Just seeing if any of you guys have some time saving tips...

Ok here is a Detail I did on an 07 Supercharged Range Rover. I started out by washing with my Foam Gun and DP wash combined with a 2 bucket wash/grit guards and Turtle wax Ice Car wash soap (ok soap, not the best, not the worst). I washed from the top down then undercarriage and engine bay. To...

I had the pleasure of working on this 08 Aston Martin with 4800 miles on it. As you can see the passenger door was repainted after someone backed into it and the paint does not match at all Doh! Anyway I was supposed to have this car for 2 days while the owner was out of town on a business trip...

Ok guys, help me out here. I have a Black car (Lexus) with very soft paint. I did a full polish back in Oct bringing the paint back to near perfect. Now it didn't take me long to notice that no matter how careful I am washing and caring for the car it is impossible to prevent some minor swirls...

This car was brought to me at night where I could see swirls but had no idea it was as bad as it was. The paint on this car was absolutely horrendous. To make matters worse the owner tried to correct the paint himself using an over the counter swirl removing wax he bought at wallmart. The wax...

Ok this is my Wife's black 07 Lexus IS250 with some major scratches and swirls. Here are the before and after photos as well as a step by step DIY repair guide showing you what I did and how. I hope this can be insightful for a few brave souls who like to do things themselves. Anyway this is how...
