    Super Wet Red vs. Better than new Cooper S (Lots o Pics)

    The same owner as the RX7, (leading cardiac surgeon on Manitoba), wanted me to do his Mini Cooper S. (Wife's car :doh ) She takes surprisingly good care of it, but tunnel wash's have wreaked havoc on the paint. Swirls were pretty bad, and pretty deep, but the interior was in VERY good...

    Whats is up with my paint?

    Car: Vehicle was a 1991 BMW 850i. M series 19 inch rims. Condition: Good overall shape. Trunk was pretty bad, and the roof was in worse shape. They will need a repaint, but at least they have some shine back now. Rims were really caked with brake dust, and tar. Paint was swirled, but I...

    BMW 850 and Tinted Tails Fix

    Well, it was a mightly long day today. My buddy tried to tint his tail lights on his SRT-4. They turned out so horrible, I thought I'd puke when I saw them. I don't have any before or after pictures of anything, as my camera had a nice big drop of water on the lens, so all the picture is, is...

    How Can a Bodyshop Go This Wrong?

    Took the blazer to a "reputable" body shop when it was broken into, and I must say, they do some pretty ****** *** work. To start, it took them a super long time, and they "detailed" the truck when I specifically told them to not touch the rest. Replaced the door handle with one of a...
