Yesterday while walking into the grocery store, I noticed one of my detail customers SUV..jet black Chevy (can't recall what it is) She was parked in the direct afternoon sun and the amount of newly induced swirls from the automatic car wash was :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: This year I've...

Next door neighbor got himself a new toy, he came over on Sunday so that I could put a coat of EX-P on it. Question? The hood has two big stripes on it that are tape, they are some what of a matted finish I didn't put the EX-P on them, anyone have an idea what to do with these?

Anyone doing this with a PC and if so what kind of pad and speed are you using? What are the benefits of doing so?

I'm perplexed by why some reach for sand paper as a solution to getting the clear coat near perfect, without using less aggressive methods such as wool pad and compounds,where you can control the amount of clear you take off, a tad easier. My thoughts are with wet sanding you take a fair amount...

On a BMW site that I post on there are a few guys that post up 100 plus pic reviews to show their detailing work. I sort of have a hard time understanding why 100 plus pics are necessary, not to mention the time it takes to upload all of them and I'm on high speed access. Most of the pics are...

I have a 5.5 HP shop vac and it works like a charm, but in doing some cars it WAY time consuming to extract carpets and mats. Plus on some areas I have to use hot water and that's just a hassle What I am looking for is a intermediate level hot water extractor. I'm convinced that hot water is...

This was yesterday detail, the white 4x4 truck that I did earlier this week, this is his wifes car. After I washed the car I clayed the paint, it wasn't that bad really. This I used the orbital with a cutting pad and SSR1 to polish it out, followed with a finishing pad and black hole. Then...

Today's detail was this white Chevy 4x4...I forgot to shoot some pics of the inside but its a brand new truck so it wasn't a lot of work on the inside. I clayed the paint after washing, then with my orbital with a polishing pad with P-w-C finishing pad with orbital with black hole Finished...

This was a car that I did not long back, I took these of the rim before and after to show the difference. Plus a pic of the tools that I have on hand to preform the job. When I read about people that say they have a hard time cleaning rims 99.9% of the time its either the tools / brushes they...

I find it interesting when I read write up's of detailers on other sites, the main focus of the write ups is about the paint. I know this is a major part of a complete detail but rarely do you see anyone take pics of the inside, engine or trunk. There are plenty of details that I have done...

I did the OS removal on Saturday and polishing on Sunday. I started with a quick wash of just the OS areas, it was all down the one side and tail gate and bumpers. I tried clay to start hoping that would do it but NO! So I broke out the acetone (MC I couldn't find Prep-Sol at the place I went...

This was off the car from hell that I did last week. These are OEM rims from a 96 Acura, that was on the Honda I detailed Most all of what you see on the rim came off with very little brushing. On the inside of the rim you can still see some baked in dust. I let the S&R dwell on this part for a...

I was asked by this guy if I could get this over-spray off his jet black truck. Here is what I am going to deal with. The last time that I did a job that was this bad, I used lacquer thinner but that's very aggressive on the paint, but highly effective. Any suggestions on chemical and or...

Buddy of mine bough this car for his daughter and she trashed the car, on the inside primarily. I did this one as a favor for him, mind you not FREE but at a decent price. It took me about 10 hours total over 3 days. The rugs in the front driver side had caked on dirt with coffee stains and...

Well at the gym at lunch I handed my card to a regular member that I see everyday...really nice MB convertible, but the car is a mess. I noticed that he had a "handicapped" placard he put in the window. He said that he really wants to get his car back in shape, but can't do the work. No issues...
