Hi everyone - it has been a while for me - hope everyone is doing great, and looking forward to July 4th :cool: I just had the opportunity to do a friend`s Ferrari Testarossa, and thought it would interest some of you. I was thrilled to be able to do this car - this car, along with the...

Just a fun one, for giggles...Nissan Figaro Hi guys, After not being able to log in for ages (and not getting a reply from the admins??), I am finally back. I have had a fairly busy detailing summer - as some of you guys know, I am fortunate enough to detail mostly the cars owned by the guys...

Hi guys, Just looking for some feedback or perhaps, someone might have some further information. Sorry for being long-winded. Background story - I purchased one of CR Spotless` newest water deionizers, the Simply Chuck system, as an early adopter, through their "Plank User" program, back in...

Thanks for your input, you guys. I just noticed that Jescar has a trio of new polishes available - Correcting Compound, Medium Polish, and Micro Finishing Polish. At first glance, it appeared that these were a reworking of FG400, 2500, and 3800, but from what limited information I could...

Have any of you guys had this problem? I attached the smaller backing plate to my iBrid Nano, and put on a yellow pad (the one supplied with the Nano). I set it on a speed of 4, and as soon as I got it up to speed on the paint (Menzerna 2400), the plastic backing plate snapped right off at the...

Quick entry today. A buddy of mine wanted a cheap, but fun-to-drive daily driver, so he bough this 2010 Jaguar XFR - it has 120,000 miles on it, but remarkably, the interior was excellent, and the body panels were ding-free. What WASN`T so great was the paint itself. Wow - a lifetime of...

Happy July 4th weekend, everyone! Up here in Canada, today is our celebratory day - Canada is 150 years old! I just thought I`d share this car with you guys - it`s just such a cool ride - classic, and the drop, wheels, and tires look so great together! This was such a fun car to do. A good...

Thanks, all. I am just starting into this beauty - 1987 BMW 635CSi, for a friend of mine. Three of us flew out to Montreal, and drove it back home (just over 3000 km! What a fun road trip! (Except for the part where we had smoke coming in from the centre vents, haha)) I have never done a car...

Thanks in advance for your help here, guys. An acquaintance is having his orange Lambo detailed by a professional detailer in the near future. The detailer suggested CQuartz UK. I was just curious as to why he would go this route as opposed to CQuartz Finest, if this was available to him, so...

I have been really lucky this past while, and have had several weekends free! This past weekend, I worked on a 2014 Range Rover Evoque that belongs to a couple who belongs to our driving group. They purchased it used - at first, I thought it was in pretty damn good condition - NO door dings...

I have been working on this 2008 Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera over the past couple weeks. As you know, I am (clearly, haha) not a professional detailer, so I do these in my spare time, for friends. This Superleggera’s owner also has a pristine 1987 Countach that I am dying to get stuck...

Hi everyone. Hope the weekend is treating you all well. My wife just took delivery of her new X6M, which replaced a succession of two previous X6Ms (previous model - 2012 and a 2010). To be honest, she didn`t really care about the power, but chose it because she preferred the wheels, seats...

Thanks, all. I have a quick question about applying ClearPlex film? Does it matter which way you orientate the film, in terms of say, unrolling it east/west across the windshield, or, north/south? Does this matter? I am just wondering if perhaps it is polarized, and if so, it would matter if...

First off, thanks to those that helped me choose a coating for this detail. I just had this car delivered on New Year's Day, and finally got around to doing my new car prep on it. As many of you guys know, brand new Lamborghinis (and in fact, most exotics (Ferrari and Alfa Romeo are...

Thank you, in advance, everyone. I am about to do the full monty on a new car - my own Lamborghini Huracan, in Nero Helene. I've never seen a metallic paint like this - the flake is SUPER fine, and has hints of gold, silver, and even tiny red flecks, if you look close enough. My options for...
