Hey guys, I never thought I would see the day I put sandpaper to the paint of a car but I decided to try it today. There was no real reason for me to do this other than to practice, the trunk itself was not in terrible shape, it had some rids and etching that were fairly deep. I got this trunk...

First, I would like to give a big thanks to mystic04 who offered to help me learn some more about machine polishing. He invited me down to his house a few weeks ago and we worked a little on my technique, got me using 105/205 better and we worked with the rotary. I think one of the biggest...

Hey everyone, I have been struggling to get the correction I want on my Camaro and I was looking for some help. I have plenty of products, probably way more than I need and I want to learn to use them correctly. I feel like I am missing something, I am willing to compensate someone for their...

Alright, for the life of me I cannot correct paint. I have been trying to figure this out for a while now, usually I just get frustrated and have to stop. I have a 2000 Camaro SS and the paint is pretty bad, the whole thing looks like it was painted with swirls already included in the paint...

I detailed a Porsche 911 today and I am continuing to learn about the detailing world. I believe this is my most complete detail to date and I am hoping to keep getting better. The owner said it was a 1979, but the owners manual says its a 1984. It has some peeling below the windshield, but...

I guess I could say this would be my first real detailing job. I am going to be doing a 1979 Porsche and an MG. I went over and looked at the cars today, they are in good condition, some light swirling, but overall in excellent condition. Is there anything I need to watch for with older cars...

Alright, I have my camaro ss that has a ton of swirls. Its a 2000, but I guess its been washed with crappy stuff and I am pretty sure it spent a lot of time outside. I can not for the life of me get the swirls out. I have tried, all of my pads... yellow, orange and blue. I have tropi-care...

Hey everyone, So I came home today and decided I was going give a go at my first detail with some real cleaning products. Anyway, it ended up taking me a long time to do the wheels, never seen so much caked on brake dust. Then I worked on the paint, by the time I was done, I decided to do...

Hey guys, hope this hasn't been discussed already. I actually have read through a lot of this section, so my apologizes if I missed something. I am starting to get into detailing and ONE DAY would like to be able to do it on the side for people that actually enjoy their cars and having them...

Hey everyone. I've browsed this site for a year now, but I thought I would sign up. I own a 2000 Camaro SS. I love giving it the basic wash and wax, but I really wanna start going that extra mile. My dad has a 1990 Mercedes SL500 that I wanna detail for him. Car is in great condition, only...
