    Hammered black 2009 Nissan GTR

    2009 Nissan GTR, current owner recently purchased this car and based on the condition of the paint was able to negotiate a nice discount off the asking price. He is considering wrapping the car at some point, but the paint looked so bad, he wanted to see if there was anything that could be done...

    JCW Mini, BMW 550, BMW 535

    2006 John Cooper Works Mini. Owner recently picked this one up, wanted it properly detailed. The green paint (which isn't done by the factory according to the owner) was significantly harder than the white roof. Mostly light to moderate swirls, but took slow, heavy pressure passes to remove...

    1987 Porsche Carrera, 2001 never before detailed Lexus IS300

    1987 Porsche Carrera. I'd detailed their Saturn Vue last fall after they accidentally drove over a can of paint. Now that the weather is warming up and this non-a/c is mostly going to be driven on the rare, cool, cloudy Dallas area summer day, he wanted it cleaned up. The car has been...

    Porsche Cayman, BMW 750, Ford F-150

    These are all basic details finished with Optimum G-P-S. 2010 Porsche Cayman. We had three cars for the owner to detail (an Elantra and an S2000 that I posted last time I detailed their cars), all are garaged and well cared for so nothing drastic was needed. ONR wash, Opti-Raser pink to...

    G35, A6, MDX and Opti-Coat on a BRZ

    2006 Infiniti G35. Detailed his daughter's 4 Runner a few weeks ago, today his wife's car was up for detailing. It was just a basic 1 step detail (it has a lot of scuffs on the bumpers that will require refinishing) but the hood was so bad, I figured I'd test a compound I was sent to try (and...

    Mercedes GLK350 nightmare interior

    2010 Mercedes GLK350. Owner was referred to me by a customer, she has a couple of kids so not only do they make a mess inside, but she has no time to take care of it herself. She did warn me in advance the interior was a mess, something I definitely appreciate. Usually I hear "oh, its pretty...

    Mini Cooper Opti-Coated

    2011 Mini Cooper convertible. Polished out his X-drive last weekend, wanted us back to Opti-Coat his wife's Mini Cooper. I'd looked it over the week before and it just had mostly light swirls in the paint so I was able to work it in more quickly than usual due to the small size and excellent...

    2004 Mercedes C320

    Owner recently picked up this '04 C320 for his daughter who will be driving soon. His main interest was safety and apparently the C class does very well in crash tests and his daughter doesn't like Volvo styling. :lol: He wasn't that happy with the dealer's version of clean, plus there was...

    Dodge Ram, Opti-Coated 328 revisted, now with more Rupes 21!

    2012 Dodge Ram, sits outside 24/7, belongs to my customer's son. Prom in tomorrow so he asked us to detail it inside and out. Nothing crazy, just make sure its really clean. Perfect vehicle to start out with my very recently acquired Rupes 21 Bigfoot DA polisher. Flat panels so it would be...

    Audi A6 S-Line Opti-Coated, 4Runner basic detail

    2006 Toyota 4-Runner. New customer, got my name from a friend of mine that I road bike with. Has a total of three vehicles he wants done, wasn't expecting my prices (he thought the going rate was around $100 for a detail) so he wanted to start with his daughter's 4-Runner to see what we could do...

    Cayenne GTS, Jeep SRT8, Xdrive28i recovery

    2013 Porsche Cayenne GTS. Owner finally replaced his wife's '05 Mercedes ML500 (the blue one I posted about 6 weeks or so ago) with something a whole lot nicer. Interior is definitely an upgrade from the ML and even the previous generation Cayenne. The owner like usual, refused dealer prep and...

    Mercedes E550, Ford F250

    2008 Mercedes E550, owner takes great care of this car. Only 31k miles on it and he had washed it over the weekend and managed to keep it out of the rain so it was still pretty clean and very easy to wash. He has us out a couple times a year to take care of it and its typically as clean as it...

    Arizona trip #6, Saab 9.4, 911, Genesis coupe, Mustang, C230, Murano

    This is the 6th detailing trip to Arizona now, weather was terrific this time. Mid to upper 80s (contrasting with cold fronts in north Texas that won't end, it was 28 in the morning the day we left for AZ), light winds, mostly sunny skies, low humidity and no rain at all. Ate a ton of good...

    1989 Guards Red Porsche 911

    This 1989 911 is one of the cars we've done on our Arizona trip. Had to take the pictures with my cellphone because my digital camera has such a tough time with red. And since I have what I need with me to transfer pics from my phone to my laptop, and nothing to transfer pictures from my camera...

    Optimum Opti-Glass and Optimum Lens Coating

    Got my hands on both products this week, to the benefit of my Arizona customers while I am here. I've done my own car, plus my friend's three vehicles (he lets us stay here for free), an Acura TL, Grand Sport Corvette and an Expidition XL. Opti-Glass: all windshields were in great...

    2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee swirl removal

    Owner recently purchased this 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee and there were some paint defects in the hood which the dealership repainted. Great job on the paint, not so much on the polishing. After a couple times back, there were still some light to moderate holograms on the hood and front fenders...

    Audi RS5 with Optimum Coating, dealer prepped VW GLI, BMW 328

    2013 Audi RS5. Been trying to Opti-Coat it since early January, but between the owner's work obligations and surprise snow on one planned day, we weren't able to get it done until this weekend. I had previously applied Opti-Coat to his wife's BMW X5 (which is visible in one of the pictures) so...

    Maserati Quattroporte, Lexus GX460

    2008 Quattroporte and 2012 GX460. We were originally supposed to do the owner's Maserati and his Ferrari F430 but since his wife was home sick with the flu, he had us detail the Lexus instead to surprise her. Fine by me, Ferrari was just going to be a wash and wax, Lexus was a full detail...

    Bmw 328

    Owner contacted me a few weeks ago, wanting his 2011 BMW 328 properly detailed. He'd just had some work done (lowering, new wheels-great looking wheels, btw!) and now has turned his attention to the paint. His main concern was the swirling. Even though it wasn't too bad, it did detract from the...

    Cadillac CTS and DTS

    Sorry, no BTS or ETS. 2007 Cadillac CTS and 2008 DTS. We detailed the owner's black CTS last week, he's decided to sell that one and keep these two. He bought both used and neither appeared to have been detailed properly. He had the DTS detailed a year or so ago and the interior was still...
