2005 Honda S2000. Owner has a car show coming up, wanted his car cleaned up for it. Other than some light buffer swirls on the trunk lid and spoiler, the paint was surprisingly swirl free. Wheels had been plasti-dipped and had some issues so we really didn't do anything with them as the owner...

2012 Honda Accord Coupe. New enough it still has paper tags. Paint was in pretty good shape to start with, dealer hadn't done anything nasty to it. Had to finish it in the shade since summer is back in full force here. When we apply Opti-Coat on hot days in the shade, we wash with ONR, then...

2012 Mini Cooper S. Owner contacted me about a week ago, wanted to get his car cleaned up and protected. When we got there today, it was pretty clean (especially the wheels, what a relief!) but it did have some water spotting on much of the car and rotary swirls on the hood, tail gate and part...

2012 Chevy Silverado, 2012 Chevy Camaro SS 45th Anniversary Edition and 2012 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon. All three were recent purchases (one person owns the Chevy's and another owns the Wrangler) and still had dealer plates they were so new. The owners wanted the exteriors prepped and sealed and...

2009 Bentley Continental GTC. Regular customer, we started taking care of it last fall, I believe this is the 3rd time he's had us detail it. Other than being pretty dirty, it wasn't too bad. He travels a lot so he doesn't put a lot of miles on it. Exterior ONR wash, Opti-Raser clay...

Anyone who has seen the movie Goodfellas knows who Henry Hill was.

2009 Nissan GTR. Owner recently purchased the vehicle and it was pretty deeply swirled. After talking it over with the owner of the car, we decided "big improvement" would be the way to go for now. He does have a PC and some nice detailing products (Optimum, Chemical Guys) so he should be able...

2006 Lexus LS460. This one has been through hell. I believe 3 accidents now, the latest required the unibody to be straightened. Owner was cut off and hit a curb at 60 mph. Plus it sits outside 24/7 and has since new. I removed a bunch of rotary swirls from it about a year or so ago. The last...

2010 BMW 335. We detailed it when it was new a couple years ago. Was in surprisingly good shape, about as swirl free as I have seen a two year old car. Not a garage queen either as evidenced by the wear by the clutch pedal in the driver's side mat. ONR wash, Opti-Raser clay sponge Optimum...

Owner called me out to get the car ready for a show. He said it had been recently restored and was already really clean. I don't believe he's had any of his vehicles professionally detailed, mostly just keeps them up himself with dusters and QD's. Most of what he is his very minimally driven and...

2010 Aston Martin. I've previously detailed a Pro-Charged Z06 and a built LS2 GTO for the owner. He sold both vehicles and bought this Vantage lightly used but horribly abused by a dealership detailer. It was originally going to be a basic detail until I saw the paint in the sun. He agreed to...

Not quite like the McCartney/Wonder song with the extra ebony is it? 1988 BMW 535. This is the third time I've detailed the exterior of this car, the owner is good about having me come back out before it gets oxidized again. Since it is the original single stage paint and has been polished...

I was making an ATM deposit at the bank when I heard a bang, turned around and saw this....yes, that is oil underneath the front end. Thought about staying around to watch the hilarity of that crappy Chevy truck try to pull that little SUV off the curb but I'm a busy man. I had things to do.

2011 Nissan 370Z, leftover 2011 model the owner bought recently. He purchased the car at night, wasn't until the next day he noticed all the swirls. Dealership tells him that's normal for a new car, he replies he has purchased several new cars and they didn't have swirls already in them. He has...

I posted about when his house got raided by the FBI: http://www.autopia.org/forum/hot-tub/117318-my-customers-house-business-got-raided-today.html# 40 years in jail, ordered to pay $17 million in restitution and forfeit $5 million in assets. Three ringleaders of local “cybercrime...

2008 Infiniti EX35. Sits outside 24/7 and is usually covered in sap. Really needs some correction but not worth it to the owner since it sits outside all the time but he did want some protection. My son and I had a little more than two hours to get it washed and sealed so I figured a product...

Third time I've detailed this car, owner is really good about having it done every 6 months, does a nice job taking care of it in between details. The sun was out when I started on it, by the time I finished, clouds had rolled in, the sun has yet to cooperate when I have detailed this car...

Firstly…… get a lasagna noodle…..Yes I said Lasagna noodle! – It must be the “Oven Ready” type, as the others are too soft and will fall apart. Mrs. Digger had some in the pantry…….. so perfect!...saves me a trip to the Grocery store. I boiled the noodle for about 5 minutes, until it was...

1999 Porsche Carrera 4. First time I've seen this car, one of my Bentley customers has had this car at his house in Colorado, rarely drives it so he brought it down here to sell. Better shape than I expected, light swirls, lots of dog hair inside and the refinished front bumper wasn't holding up...

2009 Subaru WRX STi. Really good overall condition, only really noticeable swirls were on the section of the hood by the right front fender, otherwise it was essentially swirl free. Just leaned into that area a bit harder, and all the rotary swirls in that section came out. ONR wash...
