I was asked to review Carmor Fade to New permanent trim restorer.      I received the product with all the nessecary applicators, wiping cloth, and instructions. The instructions recommend to thoroughly clean the trim using IPA. The directions also indicated for a factory look to...

This customer found me through the Optimum website. After looking at a few detailers and talking to them and myself he decided to bring his car to me for an evaluation. This customer lives 2 hours from me and he was willing to drive the car up so I could take a look at the car and recommend...

It's been awhile since I posted here. Been really busy since Spring has finally arrived here in Mass. I also have been working on my new shop. I move in May 1st. Luckily I know the guy that is in the shop now so I've been able to go there in the evenings and start painting. The shop is a...

I'm going to be going on vacation stay in Nags Head, NC on the outer banks for a week, Oct 27-Nov 3rd. If anyone is in the area and maybe want to meet up, let me know! Or even if you know the area and would like to suggest things to do (bars, restaurants, events, etc) that would be great...

This car was restored at a body shop/restoration center. The job they did with the paint was sub-par for a classic like this. There are sanding marks in the primer throughout the entire car. The roof was especially bad. There was a good amount of sanding marks left from the wet sand and buff...

This car is from a new customer of mine. He's the president of a successful local auto auction. He has 75 "recondition specialist" that work for him yet he hires and outside detailer to deal with his cars. Certainly not complaining. He started me out by having me detail his 2013 Escalade...

I have a Bentley Azure (I believe...pics below) lined up for a pretty standard interior & exterior detail tomorrow. No polishing and no real heavy contamination other than the rims have a decent amount of brake dust and there is some road grime. Just wanted to see if anyone had any...

I was contacted a few weeks ago by a local hotel that was looking to get their vinyl decals removed off a couple vans. They were recently bought out and are changing the logos. This weekend I tackled the job. Saturday was the first van which I received some help from a local forum member...

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of working on this 2009 BMW E90 M3. Beautiful car and color. The customer had purchased the vehicle from Texas and there were a few concerns he wanted taken care of. His main concern was some rock chips and the exterior. We agreed upon a 1 step polish and rock...

Customer found me online in searching for a local detailer to restore the finish on his 96 Lexus LS400. The car had been previously detailed by another local company that the owner was not happy with. The other detailer left some holograms and lots of splatter all of the place. After...

This is one of my sister's friends cars. He takes part in Mini's on the Dragon each year in North Carolina. He is there actually right now. He had some sever road rash on the front of his Mini. Upon initial inspect I actually told him he should look into a repaint. But he was just looking to...

This was my detail from Saturday. A friend of mine wanted to have his 2004 Mercury Mountaineer detailed inside and out. I went up to his shop and did the detail there. The interior plastics and leather were pretty dirty and the interior needed an overall thorough cleaning. Interior...

I was referred to this customer by one of my regulars. She was looking to have the vehicle cleaned up (for a reasonable price) so she could sell it to her brother. The vehicle had not seen an exterior wash since it was purchased in 2007. The interior had be vacuumed and cleaned a few times...

Yesterday I did this Ford Explorer interior and exterior detail. The exterior wasn't anything really to write about, so figured I'd do a write up on the interior only. Customer was looking to get the car cleaned up for her son who she gave this SUV to. It's been severely neglected over it's...

Well, I finally stepped up this year and got myself a booth at some of the local car shows and a few bigger ones. The biggest one right now is World of Wheels. Which I'm just waiting on my package to show up. I talked to the guy in charge of vendors yesterday. I'm also part of another big...
