Typically, I do my own work but I was curious if there are any recommendations for detailers in the Sarasota, FL area? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I just applied Duragloss Enviroshield last week to my FRS and I happened to have some minor dings that were repaired via PDR today (I know, it should have been done first). One of the locations I will have to polish some minor imperfections from the paint, can I reapply the coating to this...

I purchased this car new at the end of July and I had a chance to detail it properly. It currently has 3600 miles and it is quite a blast to drive considering it doesn't have plenty of power. The paint finish had many swirls from when I purchased it, so my goal was to remove a majority of them...

I just started detailing my Scion FRS today and I've run into an odd issue. I am using FG400 for compounding with an orange Buff and Shine mf pad then following up with PO85rd (I believe it is called SF4500 now?) on a black Buff and Shine mf pad. This worked great on my hood but my front bumper...

Well I've been out of the detailing loop for the most part in the last two years or so. I've been maintaining my car as I did two years ago but picking up some new products here and there. I finally plan to perform a full detail on my car hopefully in the next month but I have a couple of...

So I happen to have a rotary polisher in my garage (Hitachi SP18VA) and a hood that will be scrapped fairly soon and I'd like to try my hand at using a rotary for the first time. I ordered a Chemical Guys 5" backing plate for rotaries and I have some mf pads (Uber Cutting Pads and Meguiars...

Well I finally got around to sealing the paint on my car. I haven't properly sealed it since July of 2012 because I have been busy with school. I would typically wash my car then just use a spray wax. I would like to actually polish the paint but unfortunately I do not have time for that right...

Well I haven't posted in a while because I've been really busy with school, but now it is over and I am trying to kill some time. So here are some recent pictures of my car from a couple months ago. I did not detail it, just a quick wash at the time. I plan to perform a detail in the next couple...

So I just noticed a large spot on the roof of my car today and I am not sure if it is clear coat failure or oxidation. As far as I can remember, during my second to last car wash this spot was not present and that was only about 3 weeks ago. I took my car yesterday to a brushless automatic car...

Haven't posted in a while but a couple of days ago I detailed my car. It is typically polished once a year, so the paint condition wasn't that bad to begin with. I spent about 18 hours total, but I haven't cleaned the interior/engine bay just yet. Leaving that for another day. I was...
