Part of a collection I'm working on 1-2 times a week. Not sure what next week will bring but there's a ton of cool shit coming up.    1935 5 window coupe. Street rod, has a 3 duece 350 (no pics, we didn't do anything to the engine), modern suspension, etc.    ONR wash Opti-Raser (mild) to spot...

2012 Acura MDX. Did this one with David Strum, a fellow Autopian. Second time he's been down here and offered to detail cars with me. :)   ONR Wash Opti-Clay (yellow) Rupes Keramik Gloss using a Meguiars MF cutting pad and Rupes 21 DA 3D HD Polish using a Meguiars yellow foam polishing...

Buddy I ride with referred me to a client who has over two dozen classic cars, from a 1913 Delauney Belleville to a flathead V8 Ford, Packard, mid 50s Caddy, couple max wedge Dodges, muscle cars and even a Tessarossa.    First detail was a 1969 Chevelle. Original car other than the paint. The...

2005 Ford GT. Owner was having a professional photo shoot done (might be selling the car) and wanted it to look as good as possible.    Wasn't too horrible:         Compounded:               ONR wash Opti-Raser mild to clay Meguiars M100 using a Meguiars MF cutting pad (flat surfaces)...

2008 Infiniti G35 6 speed sedan. Owner had been looking for a 6 speed sedan for a while and after flying up to the Chicago area for this 40,000 mile car, it would have been hard to turn around and go home empty handed over the swirls. There are other issues that will have to be corrected via...

Regular customer, recently fixed a "dealership" detail on his wife's Explorers and detailed his Shelby. Big Mustang guy, has another one coming in June.    Both were in excellent shape, didn't allow the dealer to touch the 5.0 and his 3000 original mile Bullet has been well maintained...

2013 Tesla, customer has had this car for a while so it needed a couple steps to get 90-95% correction throughout. It has the plastic roof, which polished out surprisingly easy.    Only 1 before and after, this was the only part of the car in the sun when we started:        ONR...

Aston Martin DBS in Storm Black. Almost no orange peel so its obviously shot with extra clear and wetsanded/polished at the factory. According to the owner, there are 6 in north America in this color.    Dealer tried twice to polish it:        I only had to try once...     Started with an ONR...

Owner contacted me earlier this month about having a couple of his cars coated. I was surprised to see how swirl free the Tesla was, especially since it was a 2012 model. Maybe the pearl paint is harder? The Lamborghini did have swirls, mostly on the sides, most pronounced on the rear fenders...

This is absolutely the dirtiest, most foul interior I've ever cleaned. Lady called me, said her interior needed a good cleaning. Asked her to elaborate, she said her car needed some mechanical work and the mechanics wouldn't get in her 3 year old VW until it was cleaned. Honestly, I had a hard...

Been really busy now that is has sort of warmed up, thought I'd take advantage of a drizzly, cool day to get caught up...somewhat.    Most of these will just have a few pictures that I took with my cellphone, have more on my digital camera but I need more time to go through those.    BMW...

Regular customer, first time I went out, he had a Camaro SS, replaced that with a cyber grey C6 Grand Sport Corvette and now a Laguna blue C7. Nice progression! Overall the car was in excellent shape, just a few areas of light marring and the edge of the roof on the passenger side had some...

Belongs to a friend of my son, pretty dirty but the gas cap area was the worst:     ONR and Optimum Power Clean @ 3:1     Not sure why I am upside down but the paint turned out pretty good     Full process   ONR wash Opti-Clay yellow (mild) Optimum Power Clean...

Customer called me back in December to set up having his Tesla Opti-Coated, unfortunately, he wrecked the car a couple weeks after he bought it so between getting it fixed and waiting for the new paint to cure, it wasn't until yesterday I was finally able to get my hands on it. It looked like...

Tuesday:     Wednesday:     I've never done two similarly unusual colors two days in a row on two separate vehicles by different manufacturers like that.    Rupes Keramik Gloss and Opti-Seal on the Infiniti and Optimum G-P-S on the Toyota by the way, Full write-ups if I...

2013 Audi A6. Owner recently purchased this CPO A6 and wanted it properly polished and protected. Honestly, the dealer didn't do a bad job, no rotary swirls at least. Just some minor marring and the B pillars (which are made of the softest plastic on earth) were swirled up.    ONR wash...

Met this person through another customer who set up this detail and for the 525. The E350 actually belongs to my customer's fiance, he has a '95 2 door Tahoe that's pretty mint. Anyway, the lady who owns the Benz has an 8 year old daughter and ferries her and her friends all over the place.   ...

Occasionally will toss on some wax (usually OCW or whatever I might be testing) every 4-5 months, otherwise just ONR wash and wax. Not bad for paint that will be 10 years old in May. :)            

Regular customer, started off this S8 right over the summer having it polished and sealed. A few weeks ago, his neighbor decided to seal his fence even though my customer's garage door was open. Didn't bother to knock and let him know what was about to happen. Anyway, there was light over spray...

2011 Audi A4. Owner bought this for his son when he got his license. Now, 2 1/2 years later, he has taken it back from his son. Combination of poor grades his first semester in college and the atrocious condition his car was in. His kid was ferrying around all his frat buddies all semester and...
