    Would have been an extreme vs MR2

    Well, I got a call from a loyal customer yesterday wanting me to work on a car that just came over from Japan. Luckily, it was my last day off of school between semesters (96% average :buffing: ) and I was happy to help him out. Car was in worse shape than I had hoped, and was all...

    Risking Death to Give You Results

    Well, its cold up here, with LOTS of snow, but I still risked the elements to give you some shocking results on Collonite 476S Double Coat wax. It still beads like new! I was shocked, after almost 3-4 months, maybe 5 (my brain is cold), and it still looks like new. Its seen +30oC all the...

    I just wanted to brag that the snow finally came. Guess this means I don't have any more cars to do. :getdown We went from no snow at 6 pm, to over 3 feet in my driveway at 4 pm today. This is taken in the afternoon. I had shovled aready in the morning. How fun. :wall

    Civic vs. Show AND Go

    Had the pleasure to work on this 1992 Civic. I was surprised as when the customer described it as "just a civic". When he pulled up, I see a turbo/IC, customer interior, full bodykit, big rims, ect. Very nice. Anyways, it was a nice relaxing day today. Total detail time only took about 4...

    2002 Dodge Ram....Black

    1991 Legend

    Subject: 1991 Acura Legend Condition: Sad Worked on a customer's 1991 Acura Legend today. Black, grey, and grit were the name of the game today. I don't understand, but I couldn't get much "slickness" back to the paint, even after numerous attempts at claying, and such. Surprisingly...

    Bit off more than I could chew

    Man, today was definatly a headache. I resorted to some very un-ethical methods, that I will have nightmares of till I die. I think the first picture says it all, but I don't know, see for yourself. The stuff was there for almost a month by my guess, and had hardened. Customer...
