I was really rushed when doing this project so I forgot to take some after pics. Here are a few pics that I did take. Im going back today to get some more after shots. Care for some petrified OJ? The after. Note that I did this by hand (no extractor :( ). First, I froze it with air in a...

I have yet to see a plane that a customer has asked me to detail. He seems to be concerned with using products that are safe for the materials the plane is made of. The body of the plane is made of aluminum and magnesium which is painted white (not sure if it is clearcoat or single stage). He...

The customer of mine who's 360 Modena I just did has asked me if I would be interested in detailing his plane! Now, I havent seen it so I cannot provide a pic but I know that it is all aluminum/magnesium with paint/clearcoat and stainless steel props. Its used for recreation so its not a private...

How sweet it is. This example, however, is driven and NOT a showpiece. Quite a few track days with it from what he told me. So, bugs and melted rubber all over the front. Nick, am I worthy of you now? :lmfao Outside 1. Wash and Clay 2. Megs Paint Cleaner 3. Collinites 845 (2X) 3. PB QD+...

Here was Saturdays detail, an atrocious Bronco. 4 bald tires, years worth of tar buildup, and check out those scratches!!! They were all over the sides of the truck from scraping against bushes. Plan of attack 1. Wash and clay 2. SSR3 (worked like a charm, what a great product) 3. Automagic XP...

Well, I searched about 30 threads and I havent really found an answer to a question I have. Its unclear to me how 2 machines that spin an object to apply a product can yield 2 very different results. Why can a rotary do what a PC cant? Sorry if this is too newb

First let me say that I own almost all the Poorboys line of products and I think that they are stellar. However, I've recently tried EX and its just not doing it for me. Maybe I just dont like carnauba but Im not happy with EX compared to what I usually use. Thats not to say that EX doesnt do...

Came out very nice but for an almost brand new car it wasnt that easy. There were NO swirls, scratches, or even light car wash scratches so no abrasives necessary. I did however have to strip whatever the dealer used on it to get the wax to look right. So, procedure was 1. Wash 2. Mothers...

Friend of mine has a killer dualie Ram Cummins Diesel truck which is black and he swears by this colored (black) wax made by a company called Busch. I've never used a colored wax so I wanted to get your opinions on this and any colored wax in general. Thanks :bigups

Here is a 540i I did today. Although the majority of the car was in OK condition, the bumper, front of the hood and headlights were trashed from highway driving. In the picture you'll see that I put a piece of tape on the bumper to mask it and then proceeded to do this (after wash and clay). 1...

Im getting ready to do a 04 Audi A4 Black/Beige and the owner just got gum on the mats. Since these mats are a very light beige color and basically new, I want to make sure I dont stain them when getting the gum out. I've actually never come across the gum on carpet/mat issue but I know that in...

The few times I've found a need for pre-wax cleaner to cure oxidation, I've used Mother's. I like it but I suspect there is a better product out there. My main concerns are 1. Ease of use 2. Good oxidation removal The only thing I need it for is oxidation. I have polishes and such for scratches...

I did this Accord today and I really expected more. It just looks OK to me rather than spectacular or whatever. What do you guys think? The Before The between (notice where I stopped with the wax) The After

Heres a Tundra I did this Saturday. Came out great. The guy does tile and this is his work truck. It was filthy. Ohhhhhhh, the depth. The car in the reflection is the next project! The inside before The inside after. I used this great carpet shampoo recommended buy a guy here (I think his...

I use this stuff called "Tocco Magico Interior Detailing Spray" which has worked wonders. Comes in an aerosol can. It produces a natural shine and is great for anything. No worries about getting overspray on plastic or glass either. I've lost my connection to get this stuff though. Anybody heard...
