Hey everyone, been a while since I've posted, thought I'd show you guys what I've been up to. I have been subcontracting out to a couple stealerships recently, so it was a nice change of pace. The subject was a 2004 Mazda RX8. Was detailed by a competition shop of mine. They definatly did a...

Hey everyone, hows it going with everyone? Business has been slow do to the horrid weather recently, been stuck doing dealer work for some dealers that might as well take SOS pads to their cars. :sosad I've done a couple private high dollar jobs, but didn't take pictures due to owner...

Well, some of you may have seen my thread about a week ago. I bought the car after selling a identical caddy for a profit of a couple grand. This one was in a little better shape, but still needed a lot of work. Interior turned out pretty mint. Exterior onthe other hand, was well, not the...

I bought a 1997 Caddy STS today extremely dirt cheap. Owner didn't want it anymore, so he was going to send it to the wholesaler through the dealership. Cars in amazing shape for its age/mileage. Has 120,000 miles on it, but it runs like new. I have a problem with it misfiring on every...

Bosses boat. Holy crap its big. Just washing it thoroughly with a oxidization remover took me 3 hours. haha. We will see how this puppy turns out. Thought you would like to see what I have been up to.

Updated Sun Shots Page 2 First private detail in a while, for a customer that has come to me before to fix problems done by dealers and other detialing shops. He has no problem paying the $300 quote I had lined up due to time constraints and the general labour that would go into the car...

Hey there everybody. I haven't posted in such a long time, I figured it was about time I got my butt back on here. Recently I've aquired a job as the head of detailing at a used car lot. I expect the same finish as I do with my personal customers so I've been pretty busy. I figured since I...

Spent a whole 3 hours on this one. I was polishing like a mad man. Managed to get 4 stages done. Don't mind the picutres. I hadn't removed the rotary holograms yet, but you'll see why in the pictures. Process: Wetsand hood and bed. He does shingling, so there were some major scratches...

Worked on a 1991 Skyline today. Was in pretty bad shape, but its probably my best turn around paint wise... Process: XP Compound via heavy cut pad nad rotary at 1000RPM Power Cut Plus via cutting pad and rotary at 1500RPM Megs DACP via rotary and polishing pad at 1200RPM #80 via rotary...

First up a 2000 Sonata, very low mileage, but bad shape. I don't have any before pictures, but the owner had used a scotch brit pad to try and remove sap. He had the surface wet at the time, so it didn't look like it was doing any damage....until the car dried. :eek: Process: Power Cut...

Sadly, this GTR isn't the one that I was supposed to detail. I was supposed to work on a black one, but it sold as soon as it landed in Winnipeg. This wine coloured one was mostly stock, and in pretty bad condition when it arrived, so it didn't sell as fast. I must say I'm considering buying...

Man oh man, they don't get much worse than this. Road paint, tar, SWIRLS, and everything. I asked the owner if she takes it to touchless, and she replied "whats that". Anyways....I'm tired, after the what, 14 hour day yesterday, and anouther 8 today, so I"ll just post this up. Process...

Here is the 2005 Jeep that I worked on last night/today. Was in horrid shape, and Jeep paint is surprisingly HARD! The black finished off on XP Compound (extremely high cut), with a mid cut pad via rotary with absolutly no holograms. I was utterly shocked. Ended up going over the whole...

My dad gets me some business from his work, giving away details as rewards or some garbage. I've worked on the silverado before, but the maxima was a new client. Both were extremely happy with the turn outs, and I've gotten 7 calls from other employees wanting their cars done...

A customer has come to me numerous times to try and fix some of Mings screw ups, but everytime he goes back there, they make it worse. I finally told him I should just do the whole car, not just little bits and pieces. Ended up doing a complete, and recieving a 100 dollar tip! :getdown...

I've been out exploring the world recently, so its nice to come back to some details. Anyways, after 7 hours of jet lag, and 48 hours of no sleep, I came home to work on this SRT 4 for Canada's Sport Compact Nights. I'm sure some of you guys may remember it from last year, but I redid it...

2000 Camaro SS. Has some work done to it, not sure exactly, but he mentioned cam and lots of tuning. Either way, the car sounds mean, and goes sideways pretty easy. Though the car is powerful, doesn't mean its in good shape. It was so bad that the owner considered a repaint. He decided...

Owner got the car back from the dealer, and they had washed it with a broom. The marks in the paint were that bad, but were very deep, so they took as much work as a severly swirled vehicle would have gotten. Several passes later of XP Compound via rotary and high cut pad, I go all of them...

Couple of details recently. I had this appointment for the black S10, for almost half a year now. We were waiting to prep it for the annual iLLconformity Summer Shocker (which I sponsored). Truck was in terrible shape, so I proceeded with the following: AM XP Compound and yellow high...
