    Pristine Auto: 1994 Mercedes SL500

    Pristine Auto: Milano Red RSX-S

    Pristine Auto: 2008 Cadillac STS Maroon Pearl

However, this one presented a particular challenge. The owner used an ice scraper all over the body of the car and left...

    Pristine Auto: 2000 NFR S2000

    So over the past little bit since I've been home from school Ive extensively cleaned the outside of my car. Now, it's NEVER been terribly dirty at all as Im VERY ocd about how my car looks (not to mention I believe my car is one of my best advertising avenues). Anyways, I went over with products...

    Pricing Help please, customer dispute

    So yesterday I went down to Georgia (2 hour trip one way) to detail 3 cars for a repeat customer of mine. They were a repainted S2000, a 06 Si Coupe, and a PT cruiser. I did complete paint correction on the Si and S2000 and a base detail on the PT. We went down there two years ago and I washed...
