First up, the 300M Very well kept for and did this customer last year. I was VERY VERY upset to see buffer trailing on the hood. When I left last year, there were none. I guess this is another reason why I don't use Meguiar's polishes anymore :o . Anyways, lots of random scratches from the...

Boy, did I have the luxury treatment this week :). I got to do all of the nice ones. Yes, they may have been a bit dirtier than I'd like, but its fun to gloat at some of the design and engineering cues from these amazing machines. First up, the 325xi. Ok, I guess I started with the...

Had the afternoon off due to some inclement weather so I gotsa looking up close and personal in my interior. I noticed some gunk that Q-tips and brushes couldn't touch, so I popped off my dash vent to discover this... Notice the glass from my rear windshield break in :( After this I popped...

Along with my interior detail today I decided to give Poorboy's Trim Restorer a shot on the interior. I have had great luck with it on the exterior with durability and with a touch more sheen than OE. I cleaned with some 1Z Cockpit Premium, then applied the Trim Restorer in a thin coat with an...

I know a few people have had damage done or just buy the big bottle and need a smaller one. I just finished my first bottle of AIO (took me about 2.5 years) and it's in perfect shape. I will let it go for free, just pay the $4 for priority shipping. I am going away tomorrow afternoon so...

Over the weekend, a bunch of us attended the Poorboy's World Meet to try out some new products, amongst those, the new "blues". While some were a bit sceptical over how much "better" they would be, we searched for some answers. All of the vehicles shown were polished out and as we all know...

I have been getting a lot of questions of how I am cleaning/protecting wheels, tires, and wheel wells these days, so I figured why not write up a tutorial with a ton of pics. Thanks to Patrick Holland for coming out and taking pics for me (with his camera). If I miss anything, please point it...

Evening all, I did this detail yesterday but haven't had a second to post up the results. This detail came out great but started bad. I saw the car and thought it would only be minor dirt/grime on the lower panels but it really turned out to be a heavy amount of IFO, brake dust, grease, and...

Hi everyone, My girlfriend Liz's birthday is coming up in about two weeks and I'm on the hunt for a nice couple of gifts. I already have some stuff in mind, but she's had her heart set on an iPod which her parents are getting her. I wanted to get some cool accessories for it but I was blown...

First up, the filth... Bimmer is in nice shape but the rims are another story. They were purchased used and weren't kept up too much. They had very bad etching, staining, dulling, baked on brake dust, and some isolated clearcoat failure. All in all, they don't look terribly bad but they...

Man, am I excited :D. Yes, the red rims are gone. They were far too weak for North East roads. I needed something fully forged that still fit the look I was going for. I also have never had silver rims on my car (black, gmetal, gmetal with pol lip, red) so I decided these will be the...

Never have I ever laughed so hard at my computer screen. This is laughing at text, nonetheless. Definately read these straight through for a plethora of laughter :D. http://www.zug.com/pranks/credit/ - Credit Card Prank 1 http://www.zug.com/pranks/credit_card/ - Credit Card Prank 2...

A carnauba that I really don't think gets enough play is Trade Secret. No, I am not pushing it in anyway, I just want to see who is using it. Currently, for the ultimate glow, I am going with Trade Secret. For wetness is Natty's and for reflection is P21s. So, let's see em. Also, whoever...

Well, I ordered my new rims this morning and am heading home tomorrow night to put my body kit on. I have a car show to attend next weekend so I am excited for all of the above. My car had a tough battle this winter; from a hit and run to a smashed in rear windshield, I have had my fair share...

Exterior -Mother's Gold Wash -Menzerna FP via rotary @ 1500 rpm -Zaino Z2 by hand (strictly for protection) -Eagle 1 A2Z, EFHI, DP Wheel Gel to clean rims/tires/wells -AIO on rims -BnB on tires/wells Before After 280Z next!

I did this job at the same location as the 280Z. I did this one first because I wanted a cherry as the second job :). The owner bought this car real cheap to I guess, toy around in throughout the winter. He told me via email it was in pretty rough shape, but I did not expect this! I did a...

As I approach my second *serious* season detailing, I am looking to improve my dress code a bit more. I want to appeal a bit more in each and every way to the consumer, and I feel this is one area that may need some work. Currently, depending on the weather, I will wear: Cold: Hooded...

Regarding the paint on late model Nissan Pathfinders (96+), the bumper paint is VERY thin. I'm talking bible paper thin. I have detailed two of these vehicles, both of which I ended up doing paint repair free of charge due to the THIN paint. This occurred on 2 different year/different trim...
