This is a detail of my sister's 1999 VW Jetta that I did this past Memorial Day weekend at the beach. I like to call it the "Mercy Detail" because the car was trashed. But hey...What are big brothers for right?? Since my 1967 Nova is stored in her garage I guess I was obligated to take care...

Today's detail is of a pure classic. A 1966 Mustang with an original 15,000 miles on the odometer. The car was purchased at Barrett Jackson and has an original 289 cubic inch engine. The paint has some issues and is at about a 7 on a scale of 1-10. Needless to say I love working on the...

Several months ago I was contacted by one of my client's who wanted to give a Christmas gift to one of his friends. The gift would be a complete detail of three of the friends cars. The cars to be detailed are: 2007 Bentley Continental GT 1971 Cadillac Eldorado 2006 Cadillac Escalade...

This is by far one of the most detailed and extensive rotary polishing guides I have ever seen. It was done by Dave KG over on DWUK. I hope Dave doesn't mind me posting it here on Autopia for the others to see. Fantastic work Dave....:spot...

I normally don't get pissed off and make things public but I thought this is appropriate given the severity of the situation. Recently I was notified that another individual was stealing my details and posting them on another site to promote his new business Jersey Devil Detailing. I come to...

I am looking for some Autopian advise. I have been approached by the service manager in a high end car dealership for detailing work. The service manager contacted me directly and stated that he has several clients that are looking for quality detail work. The manager has seen some of my...

Brand new..NEVER used. Still in original packing. $22.00 shipped.

I picked one of these up on Ebay at an awesome price thanks to a recommendation from Al-53. I noticed the plate is about 5.75 inches. How do you guys feel about using these with 6 inch pads. I noticed that the edge of the plate is close to thee pad edge but since the plate has a foam cushion I...

This is a detail of a 1970 Jaguar XKE convertible that was purchased at this years Barrett Jackson auction. Even though the weather was very cold here on the East Coast (44 degrees) I had the opportunity to work on it in a heated gargae. The car was a total joy to work on. The engine has had...

This is a detail project of a 1968 Oldsmobile 442 W30 convertible. My client purchased this classic at last years Barrett Jackson auction and called me to work on it because it was in serious need of some TLC. The restoration of the car was very good but the car was in need of a good cleanup...

This is a detail I did today of a 2003 Nissan 350Z. The car is owned by the Vice President of our local Z club. The car is in immaculate shape and is a true show car. Believe it or not its a daily driver. The weather here in the Northeast is brutally cold today so thankfully the client had...

This is a detail of a 2006 Black Saphire Pearl BMW M6 that I did approximately 1 month ago. Unfortunately when I finished the detail and tried to pull it out of the garage to take some pics it started pouring. Fast forward to today. I get a call from the client asking if I could come over and...

This is a detail that I have been waiting for awhile now. My client told me several weeks ago that he was taking “Euro Delivery� of a 2008 Audi R8. When I heard this I immediately got goosebumps and couldn’t wait to get my hands on it. The client was fortunate enough to...

This is a detail of a 2006 Porsche Carrera 4S convertible that I had the opportunity to detail yesterday. As most of you know the weather here in the Northeast is not conducive to detailing but when this client asked that I work on this car how could I resist. It truly is a work of art with at...

Well the weather here in the Northeast is incredible. 66 and sunny. Of course tomorrow is forecast for 44 with a brisk wind. Any other Autopians detailing before eating turkey? I just cleaned up my Toyota 4Runner and spruced it up with some AW. Now its time to eat :) I wish we had...

This is a detail of a 2005 BMW X3 that I did today. I apologize in advance for the crappy pictures but the detail took me almost 8 hours and by the time I was done it was getting dark. Daylight savings time sucks. This thing was totally trashed paint wise and it really made me wonder how...

This is a detail of 2006 Land Rover LR3-HSE that I did today. This thing was trashed but it was a beautiful car to work on. The car has a big V8, full glass roof, third row seating. It was apparent that the owner used it as a Land Rover should be used. Sorry the interior pics are not that...
