Instead of posting a massive amount of small threads full of a few pictures, we would like to share with everyone our work over the past few weeks. I remember years ago when we all just began and I was browsing through Autopia, AGO, and DWUK and amazed at everyone`s shops and mobile vans. Now...

Usually your typical F250 Powerstroke is used for towing, hauling, or plowing. This one sees much of those uses but is also this clients baby. While the paint was healthy, in overall fantastic condition, it was lacking the luster and gloss it deserved. The paint was dulled from swirling and poor...

Let me start off by saying that this project was a nightmare from beginning to end. But as much of a nightmare as it was, it was also extremely rewarding and a great learning experience. The vehicle was purchased by a local dealership and passed hands through a few owners over the years on Long...

Still learning how to edit, color correct, and work with video footage so bear with me. Started working on this Porsche Boxster Spyder early in the week and decided to record the process. The entire car got a single stage correction. Didn't need too much, but with the right lighting, there were...

It's been a while since I had time to do a write up on my detailing projects. I figured now's a quick chance to do a basic write up and show some of the work I performed on this brand new Volvo XC90. This truck only had a few miles on it, but had some wash induced marring, dents, and random...

This has been a topic I have been seeing all over, but never properly discussed. People ask, do coatings prevent swirls. Then someone answers, well if the hardness is 9H (mohs), then its hard then clear, then it prevents scratches. But who says hardness has any relation to scratch prevention...

It's been a while since I've posted here showing off my latest projects. I got a bit lazy and only took a few pictures here and there but a ton of after-detail pictures. We moved into a new detailing facility here in New York and have not been grinding since. Instead of doing tons of individual...

My favorite type of client is one who enjoys driving their car. I myself am a car enthusiast and love every type of car, but I have a soft spot for Porsche. Personally, the Boxster S is a great bang for the buck car. Easy to drive, fun to drive, stands out better than your average daily, and...

As excited owners begin taking delivery of their 700hp Dodge Hellcats, us detailer's are beginning to have our work cut out for us. These cars are fast, they are aggressive, but they are beautiful when detailed properly. My client found me prior to breaking the 1000 mile mark on his Hellcat...

Client loved the fact that Opti-Coat Pro comes with a 5 year warranty and wanted to protect his wife's daily. Now the car only had a few thousand miles on it prior to coming into my shop which one would assume, minor paint correction then prepare for coating. In this case, the CLA AMG had what...

Had quite a few Porsche GT3's come into the detailing studio here in Massapequa, NY. Most of them are the same package with white paint, black wheels, and yellow calipers/accents. This particular GT3 got the Cquartz Finest treatment. The wheels were coated inside and out with Cquartz, the...

Hey guys, not new to either forums but wasn't on Autopiaforums as much as the other Autopia, so I figured this is a great time to introduce myself (again). My names Will. I am addicted to shiny cars and hoarding detailing products. I own and run a professional detailing studio in Long Island...

This particular client found me while searching for a paint correction detailer on Long Island. His main concern was someone qualified for the job and capable of true paint correction. Luckily, he found the right detailer. We schedule his detail and chose to protect the freshly corrected...

A very well known vinyl wrapper on Long Island, NY contacted me to do some work on his recently wrapped Nissan GTR. The supercar is wrapped in a chameleon color vinyl that changes color from green to purple AND is wrapped from head to toe in Xpel Ultimate PPF. What a combo! Now the car sits...

So we are getting in samples of the Black Pearl trim and tire coating at It's Better Waxed and I want to know your opinions.  I am only one person, with my own expectations and experiences.  I got to try out my sample of the tire shine that markets the "bling without the sling." I got to also...
