Does anyone have any suggestions for cleaning Brembo black anodized brake calipers? I’ve seen one video where they suggest Chemical Guys sticky gel plus baking soda. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

2018 Porsche Macan GTS. Optioned with black roof rails. What’s my best option to clean this up? Light polish? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have a client with a Black crewcab duramax that was getting his barn roof repainted and now his truck has silver overspray all over it. :angry: I did a test spot last night with an SM Arnold Medium prep pad on the PC7424 and it is removing some of it but not all of it after going over a 2` x...

I had a client text me this picture recently. He lives an hour+ away so I cannot attempt to fix this until Saturday. He had a doggie bag of Italian food spill in his 2009 MB S550. I will scrape up the butter but I am not sure how best to remove the oil. Ideas? It's on the leather a bit and in...

I last detailed this VW Rabbit about a year ago, but it was only to add some protection before the winter. The owner drives an hour from Ithaca to have it done and his significant other deserves a round of applause for driving a total of 4 hours to pick the owner up and drop him off :clap: It...

I finally had a chance to polish out the rest of my car from body work I had back in September. Original thread here: http://www.autopia.org/forum/pro-details-before-after/125186-450hp-2004-vw-r32.html which lists the mods as well. Since I took the car out of the garage for the warm weather...

My car had body work back in September and the lower part of the rear bumper had a ton of overspray that I clayed to remove. I had clayed the whole bumper and then polished it out. (Here is the detailing thread: http://www.autopia.org/forum/pro-details-before-after/125186-450hp-2004-vw-r32.html...

A client recently contacted me asking when I could get to this car. He traded his old VW in and had just picked up this Salsa Red GLI about a week ago. He wanted to get it looking good as soon as possible. I had hoped it wouldn't need as much work as his old VW (detail thread...

I sold my 2001 GTI about 2 years ago and have been missing it ever since. Here is one of the last pictures of it: Not bad for 131,000 miles. Well I picked up this Deep Blue Pearl (DBP) R32 back in August. I bought it sight unseen (besides photos) from Santa Monica, Ca and had it...

Well I haven't posted on here in over a year or so. I moved from the Northern Virginia area to Binghamton, NY about 1.75 years ago and have been pretty busy with other things (bought a house, family life, etc). I figured I would post up a couple of VW's I did recently. First up is a 2008...

Yesterday I finally got a chance to details my friend's bike. He picked it up back in Feburary and he washes it when it needs it but it needed a good polishing. It is a 1998 with 18,000 miles on it. The bike has some scrapes and some deep scratches but overall it came out pretty good. I'd say...

So, several months ago my Hitachi rotary would act funny. It would either turn off until I lifted the pad from the paint or it would speed up to full speed on it's own until I let go of the trigger. (Never had any accidents since you could hear it about to speed up) This happened very...

I did this MB on Saturday. The owner just picked it up and had a few issues he wanted fixed. The main issue was some deep scratches across the hood. I also did some paint chip/scratch touch up. I started early but didn't end until late so I don't have very good after photos. :( Process: ONR...

Saturday morning I detailed the engine of this 1997 Acura SLX. These are fairly rare SUV's. Apparently a tech forgot to put the oil cap on so it made a good mess. The owner had to run before I could take some real after pics. These are just after cleaning it but before drying and applying...

I did these two father and son vettes about 2 weeks ago and never got a chance to post so here goes. First up is the 2007 C6. This is my friends father's car. This vette is in very good shape and the owner wanted to hold off on any polishing for now. He doesn't drive it very often and it has...

Sunday I detailed this gorgeous Ducati Monster 620ie. The owner had not washed it in quite some time. It had dirt, grime, and bugs everywhere. It also had quite a bit of swirls. Process: Wheels - A2Z and WB on stubborn spots Frame/engine - Long Haul degreaser and Purple Power Paint -...

I purchased my first bike in February and it came with a used helmet. I use it as a spare since I bought a new helmet. I was wondering what to use on the interior, especially the older helmet. I've been trying to febreze it and it helps but not enough. The older helmet does not have a removable...

I posted this on the sportbike forum I am on (DCSportbikes.net: Your DC Sportbike Information Portal) I finally got around to installing my tankslapper static cling clear bra (The Tankslapper. A clear non adhesive tank protector for your sportbike.) yesterday. It comes in 3 pieces; left...

Saturday I worked on this 2003 IS300. The color really hides swirls well. It had around 55,000 on it and was in decent shape as far as swirls. The main problem was water spots. The interior was done but was in pretty good shape except for a few spots so I didn't bother with pics as I was pressed...

I did these two black SUV's a few weeks ago. Husband (2003 X5) and wife (2004 Jeep Liberty). The X5 is from Europe and drove all over there and has done 3 trips from DC to Denver it had about 88,000 miles. The Jeep is hardly driven as it only had 22,000 on it. They came to me with extreme...
