A fellow local forum member asked me to detail his truck for the upcoming iLLconformity car show. I've heard lots of good and bad things about the truck. The good: sounds wicked, is on 20' chromies, lowered 4-6 inches, and has shaved roll pan. The bad: Needs some serious work regarding...

I did this one on Saturday of last weekend. Its a 1995 Mazda MX-3, with single stage black paint. The thing was and still is in pretty rought shape. I wasn't about to get very aggresive with the single stage paint, since I don't have a paint depth gauge, and it was looking pretty thin already...

A forum user and I had a argument yesterday about me over charging ($70 dollars for a exterior). So I told him to come over and I'd show him what a exterior actually involves. So here it is. Oh, but I must warn, pictures are graphic.

I was going to post this detail a while back (Saturday), but I couldn't due to site upgrades. Subject: 99 Jetta Exterior was in decent shape, not too many major dings, or scrapes, but it was looking dull and faded. Processes: SSR3 with cutting pad on major scratches (works great on...

Well today I decided to upgrade from a cheapo rotary to a decent one. Its not the most expensive one on the market, but its a much better one than the cheap "coleman" one that I had before. This one no longer requires me to wait 30 seconds before the clutch heats up to engage and I'm...

Everyone from Manitoba chime in now!

I ordered some SSR 3 for major scratches and stuff, and I tried it out on the blazer today (really needed it, I have pictures in the Click and Brag section). To my surprise, this stuff broke down very quickly and effectivly with the PC. I even attemped using it with a Cutting pad and it...

I have recently been letting my dad use the blazer for about a month or two now, as he's between vehicles. As of since, I haven't been home much, as I've either been working, or at school. Well today, I finally had a break, so I was going to go take a look at the blazer and wash the truck...

Just finished setting up my grandparents new computer. Its like a 3.2 ghz P4 with hyperthreading tech. Gig of RAM, 17" LCD screen, crappy speakers, but they're old so it doesn't matter. I spend lots of time here, so its alright, but I wish they would have gotten the full package for high...

Well close enough, it does have Lambo doors. :) I had a guy call me up yesterday, and say that he had spilt 2 liters of root beer. I couldn't get to it yesterday, so I told him to wet vac as much out as possible. Anyways, a simple carpet cleaning turned into a interior, which turned into a...

Well my name is finally changed. I used to be Buick_guy, but now I'm ScubaStevo! Lest we forget. :)

Haha, just joking guys. I had some friends come in from Denver on Saturday, and I surprised them to day with a exterior detail on their 1999 Silverado. There were some really weird lines going up the hood that looked like worn paint. Now that was half the problem, as the hood looked like the...

Well I'm going to post a picture of something, and we'll all have to guess what it is. Once someone guesses what it is, the next person will get to post the picture.

Went out with the girlfriend for a little fun on the quad this afternoon on our lunch break, and we snapped some pictures. I think that everyone should snap some of them and their quad, or at least just their quad. The details on mine are a 97 Polaris Express, but replaced the stock...

Well the customer that I did some emblem touch ups for came back yesterday for a exterior detail. I was fighting with the weather for the last 2 weeks, but I finally got a exterior done while there was some breaks in the rain. This is a 2002 S10, with horrible paint, and lots of abuse...

Well we're going to the dealer to see what she's worth, so I put her back to visually stock. Stock pulley, exhaust ect. And that gawd awful engine cover. :( Anyways here are the clean up pictures. Now its completely stock looking:

Well today the PC started making a horrid noise, which I believe is the bearings. It just starts sounding like there are balls floating around in it. Anyways, does anyone know if Portercable would honour their warrenty? Plus, I wonder if I'd have to send it to them, I can't afford to be...

Today I did a nice Wolfsburg Edition VW Jetta. The paint was in the worst shape I've seen. I had to clay and polish like mad to get all the oxidation and swirls out. I clayed the surface for some time getting rid of all the tar, because it was very bad. Took me around 1 hour total. The...

***SMALLER PICTURES ON PAGE 2*** Well, since I'm turning 17 in 4 days, so I thought I'd finish my 17 coats of SG. Taken me like 5 weeks to do, but I've gotten it worked up, so here it is: I'll link the rest of the pictures because they are 1 mb each...

A customer dropped by for a quick job today. I was rather scared when I saw the pictures the night before, but I thought I'd give it a shot. He tried to remove emblems and decals and went a little over board with the rubbing. Herers what it looked like: After a little...
