This is a recent detail of a 2000 Lexus GS300. The client was more interested in getting it clean than any type of paint correction. With 120,000 miles on the odo it was long over due. When I was claying the car it literally felt like sandpaper. The temps were certainly not cooperating...

I have a client that just wants a one step detail and I have had this product sitting in my arsenal for a while now but have never used it. Since my Flex 3401 is down for the count for a while I was wondering if you can use this product via rotary or it is just for the DA. Any input from my...

One of my loves of detailing is micro fiber towels. I guess you could say that I am addicted to them and am always looking to try new ones out. When I heard that Dodo Juice had just released a new towel called "Fantastic Fur" I wanted to try one out. This is very thick and plush micro...

This is a detail of a 1993 Acura NSX. The car was purchased by the owner several years ago in Chicago and has been garage kept. It was in excellent shape but the client was looking for more of an extensive detail than from the regular shop he was using. The prior shop left wax in all of the...

This is a detail of a 2007 Bentley Continental GT in Diamond Black. Several months ago I was contacted by one of my clients who wanted to give a gift to a friend of his. The gift was that I would detail 3 of the friends cars for him. This is the second of the three. The Bentley Continental...

After looking for a long time for a good quality 1966 or 1967 Chevy Nova , I purchased this 1967 Chevy II Nova in Annapolis, Maryland about 2 years ago. The car was in fantastic shape with a new motor, suspension, and chrome. The only real issue was the condition of the paint which could...

This is a detail of a 2008 VW GTI for a fellow forum member. The car was brand new and the owner avoided dealer prep which made the detail so much easier. There was some minor swirling from improper wash techniques. The client only wanted an exterior detail but I did the interior at no...
