Definately the coldest details of the year. The Silverado was luckily done inside as it was raining and 40* that day. However, with the 4Runner and Integra, the temperature was around 30*. It was at the point where the water froze to the side in the shade :(. For the Silverado, I was giving...

So, a nice woman emails me regarding getting her vehicles detailed before the winter. She mentions "they really need it". Instantly, I know it can't be good. To top it off, I pull up this morning and they're both black :(. They were covered in heavy cobwebbed swirl marks, bonded...

I recieved an IM from a troubled new car buyer a couple weeks ago. He picked up his new TL and he said he hasn't been happy with the finish on it since he purchased it (5k miles now). I told him about my products/processes, showed him some of my work on similar colors, and scheduled the...

Think again... Recently we discussed a company called Johnson Controls in my Marketing class. I was extremely surprised to find out what they did and for whom. Johnson Controls designs and manufacturers entire cockpits/interiors for auto manufacturers. Those included are: # Alfa Romeo #...

I worked on this one today for one of my fellow co-workers at school. She's fulltime, so more like a boss to me, but anyways :grinno: . Very nice car...It just reaffirms my near future move to a Subaru. It's very quick, handles well, has a great road feel, and everything flows well...

Just finished this one a few hours ago. Owner is a fraternity brother of mine. He hasn't had much time lately to keep it clean and wanted it "like new" and protected before winter. The interior was pretty dirty for 9k miles but the exterior wasn't too bad (very light swirling and pretty much...

First off, :drool: Sick bike. Yeah, street bikes are always cool, but this one truly looks like its breaking the law just sitting still. The lines are gorgeous as is the color combo (I'm partial to red wheels!). Bike was in excellent shape. It has about every bolt-on offered (titanium...

Many of my clients and I communicate via email. Regardless, I will send this letter to them (email/snail mail) with a picture of their vehicle post detailed attached to it. Let me know if you'd change anything. Thanks in advance... " Good Day, I would like to start by wishing you and...

Well, I'm wishing the weather was a bit better, therfore I'd have a bunch more details, but all this rain has been screwing me up. The weather barely held out for this one, but I got it in :). This car belongs to a fraternity brother of mine. You will see his old car in some of the pics...

First up is the Lexus. 1999 RX300 with only 16k miles!!! This car is a cherry. The owner (my client) has been my mechanic for most of my life. Everything works flawless on it. The paint is always in nice shape and the only problem it has had was acid rain etching on the glass which I...

Being mobile, you often lack the creature comforts of hot water availability. With Oxi-Clean and other carpet cleaning products, I find that the heated water acts as a catalyst with the cleaner to make it perform better. In the past, I have gone to the extent of either asking the customer to...

Touched 100k earlier this week and pulled quickly off the road to snap a picture. It was a bitter-sweet moment in that the car is really in great shape, but its going to be harder to sell a car over that 100k psychological barrier. I have a couple minor problems with her that I will have...

Haven't had a lot of time to do any detailing lately, but as school started, I started taking care of these two for a couple classmates. Both beautiful vehicles in their own way. First up, the Audi S4 :drool. This car was detailed with #80/NXT over 5 months ago. Decent slickness, good look...

First up, the ones to be sold. The owner told me they were pretty dirty and definately needed work. Definately had to agree with that statement, whole heartedly. I do appreciate the honesty of customers like that though. Most would just say, "Oh they're not too bad, just need a good coat of...

Wow, just wow. A mess is an understatement for this puppy. I think the year is around 1996 and if it was never detailed, it wouldn't surprise me. It had everything from heavy etching to oxidation to staining to SWIRLING and everything in between. This vehicle was a test panel for some fun...

Took a while for this one today, but I wanted it how I wanted it :)... 2001 BMW 330ci. As you look at the pics, you will notice very subtle, yet clean and well put together modifications. This car has some MEAN lines on it and just looked so aggressive that I had to snap a zillion pics. I...

Yesterday I worked with Patrick on some of his client's vehicles. The E has 4200 miles on it and the CLK has 1200 :). They are the dead same color with the CLK having a Ceramiclear CC. In the garage, it was dead noticeable between the two. The clarity and "brightness" of the Ceramiclear...

Hi All, Been pretty busy and just saving up these pics. More available by request, but I tried to sort the best ones out :). First up (in order), '92 Accord. More of an interior job, but the pics came out terrible :( (too much sun). Anyways exterior recieved: -TOL Bubbling Suds...

Wow, what a machine! Belongs to Liz's brother. I detailed it as a birthday present to him. Most of it is original, the paint is not though. 46,xxx orig miles. Everything was in pretty excellent shape. The paint had a lot of swirling though and the roof was badly marred/dulled. Single...

I realized that I have very very few pictures of my car with the new wheels on it, so after cleaning her up, I figured I'd find a location and take some shots. The sun was in and out so no "real" detailing shots, just more showing off the body/mods. On the paint, -Poorboy's PwC Blue...
