330ci, I believe 2003. 50k-ish miles. Owned by a Doctors wife who "washed it every week" which meant, I drove it through the car wash every week or so. Never hand washed, waxed, or anything of the sort in its life. I definately had my work cut out for me, luckily the paint was in good...

I've got a trio of BMW's coming up to detail with the classic blackened wheels from BMW's brake pads. I usually use simple green, but I'm looking for something OTC that might be more powerful. I can get wheels nearly spotless regardless, I'm just trying to look to cut down on some...

Hey guys.. I just removed some factory badges from a 96 Eclipse. The problem is that I left a few very slight scratches in the taillight, and you can also still see the outline of where the badges used to be. It's annoying and I'm too anal to let it sit. Rather than buy a new center...

Doctors car. He's had it 3 years or so, barely washed, never waxed. Turned out good after 6 hours of work. He and his wife both said "you gave us a new car!" when I dropped it off. My before pics don't show off the neglect that well, but it was a fight to the finish. The wheels...

03 Acura TL. 15k miles. Paint was in decent shape, some minor swirls, paint didn't have alot of pop to it. Previous owner was an old lady that really beat the wheels up as you will see. Car was another full detail, but I forgot to get pics of the interior and the engine. Both turned out...

This is my gf's car. You guys might remember the quick wash I did a few months ago that had great results. Anyways, she never has time to clean the car, so generally even though it always looks like ****, it doesn't get washed and never gets any swirls. :) I finally had a chance to polish...

Finally almost have this setup perfectly. Just need to hang a set of cabinets once our kitchen gets remodeled and I get the scraps. :) We moved in back in July, and at that time I painted the floors with Rustoleum Epoxyshield and built the workbench. Here's two initial pics...

This is my GF's car. She got it at least 6-7 months ago, never washed it. It's got about 6k miles on it and was FILTHY. Keep in mind most of the dirt you see is not really dirt, but some crazy tar-like crap that I had to scrub off. It was a spur of the moment thing (I had enough of...

This is my fun car, 1996 Mitsubishi Eclipse. Roughly 500hp. I won't bore you with details, but if you want specs, please go here: http://www.doitbig.org/dsm/GMIFAST/ This was my first detail since reading autopia, but since detailing it in the Spring, it's only seen about 500 road miles. I...

I've been lurking on autopia for about a year now, and just started detailing back into the spring. I have about 6 details under my skin, and I figured that I've reached the level that I can start posting and be proud. I'm a little anal/OCD, so car detailing and me goes hand and hand...
