I finally got the time over the weekend to try out Mckees 37 new plastic trim restorer. According to the description it will not streak and is long lasting while giving a natural look. For this test I tried it on my Chevy Silverado that sits outside. The trim wasn`t too bad, or so I thought...

Had a fun job the past couple nights on this awesome 670 rwhp Camaro SS. Originally it was going to be in the world of wheels but he got notification that he couldn`t attend due to the car already attending the past few years in a row. Regardless he wanted it looking right for the upcoming show...

So being spring is around the corner my schedule is about to get very busy! To start things off I had a mobile job on a 67 Chevelle in Marina Blue. I had met the owner towards the end of the car show season last year and he contacted me over the winter to get an appointment to get his Chevelle...

The next new release I was privileged to try is the Mckees 37 Fast Metal Polish. So before I got my hands on this I have been using the Mckees RV line chrome and aluminum polish which I also tested before being released. After talking with Nick he mentioned that the main difference between the...

So Mckees 37 has done it again with there new spray on rinse off Sio2 coating Hydro Blue. Prior to getting my hands on this I had asked Nick a few times if they were going to release a spray on rinse off type product. He assured me one was in the works. McKee A short time ago this along with...

Well I have been having a bad streak lately with health which isn`t good. Sunday I was finishing up reinstalling the lower and upper intake manifold on my Grand Prix GT and my back let go. Ended up having some bad back pain. So I was managing it and then came down with that dreaded norovirus...

Well we had some unusually warm weather up here last week etc. Over the course of a week my phone rang quite a few times from new clients wanting to book jobs for the end of March/beginning of April. Looks like the small bit of advertising on Facebook ads paid off. Along with that I got some...

So I finally got my drag wheels on the GTO. Something easy turned into a cluster! So my first obstacle was fitting the front wheels. The offset wasn`t quite right for my car and made them stick out. After a discussion with the manufacturer ( Racestar Industries) they were super helpful and...

So as most know I am a big fan and user of Gtechniq Crystal Serum Light. I have also tried Exo V3 by itself with good results. But I have never broke down and tried the CSL Exo V3 combo. CSL by itself offers great chemical resistance and gloss. Adding Exo V3 over CSL is supposed to offer...

Had a new client bring his daughters 2011 Subaru Legacy in for a full interior detail and a light machine polishing/sealant. This exterior was pretty rough. It had a layer of hard water spots covering all the paint. There was next to zero gloss. The client wasn`t looking for a perfectly...

Had a repeat customer come by for a quick maintenance wash to knock off the salt and road grime. I had previously did a 2 step machine polish and sealant back in October. One I originally polished the paint on this car the client had informed me that she used a brush at a coin op carwash to wash...

So this is Meguiars new product in there Ultimate lineup. I have used there Ultimate paste wax and liquid Ultimate wax with good results in the past. Although I do like there Ultimate paste a bit better than the liquid. Just preference. So after seeing this being released I knew I would have...

Got a call from a long time friend and VW connoisseur a couple weeks ago regarding his custom 1967 VW Beetle he has been building and getting ready to enter in the world of wheels Boston. The car had been painted a few weeks ago and it was in need of a full damp sanding and polishing to cut...

So I have noticed an ongoing issue with my Silverado LTZ. This truck sits outside 24/7 and is a daily driver. I try to stay on it as much as possible but during the winter months it can go 2-3 weeks without being washed. The issue I am having is that it seems to have bonded contaminates from...

So a while back my 08 Silverado LTZ was involved in a hit a run in Boston. Luckily the damage was isolated to the drivers fender and headlight. And it just so happens that my neighbor is the appraiser for a high end body shop so I naturally brought the truck to him for the repairs. The truck...

So as I posted up the other day. I purchased a bottle of 3D new 505 correction glaze which is a body shop safe version of the famous HD Speed. They claim that it cuts a bit better and wipes off easier than speed. So my test subject for this comparison is my dad`s Pontiac g6 in black. This...

So my current bottle of speed is pretty much gone and I have a job coming in tomorrow that will be a perfect candidate to try out the new 3D 505 correction glaze. I bought directly from 3D. And yes it is definitely more money than Speed but I had to give this a shot. I couldn`t resist haha...

So I got a call earlier this week from a client. He had just purchased a brand new modified Jeep Rubicon. His main concern was that the white paint had all sorts of brown dots stuck on the surface. So in my mind I already knew what the issue was. After some education and discussion with the...

I was given this in exchange for a honest review. So I was given a sample of this innovative product while I was in Florida detailing for a couple weeks. Upon my arrival back to the freezing cold New England weather I was excited to try out the new Mckees anti frost washer fluid on our daily...

So as most of you know I have a pretty clean well maintained GTO with a host of goodies including a new Procharger setup. What most don`t know is that the only reason I had originally bought this car was due to a tough finical decision a little over 3 years ago forcing me to sell my pride and...
