    Joyriide Detailed: Black Miata

    Had the pleasure to detail a black Mazda Miata. It belongs to a forum member who only likes to drive it on the weekend. It sits outside so it had more water spotting than it did swirls, and a little bit of oxidation, but not too much. Dropped it off this morning @ 9:30 and stuck around for bit...

    Joyriide Detailed: Jet Black E90

    This is a repeat for the customer. He got his car detailed and corrected, but has since done a bit of modding which has led to time in the shop, which has led to wash monkeys dancing on the paint, which led to me removing a bit of the marring and swirls it had in certain areas, along with a lot...

    Vacuum carpets first?

    I always vacuum my interior first, before cleaning anything inside, like glass, dash, seats, ect. Lately I've had to do a quick vacuum pass inside again because I keep bringing in dirt with my shoes everything I get inside again after that.

    Cool new tip for cleaning and dressing your exterior trim.

    I got this from the instruction of BlackWow trim dressing, but i have been applying it to my use of PB Trim restorer. Before the wash every few weeks, I liberally apply trim restorer to all plastic and exterior rubber. I make sure to really rub it in. I then proceed to clean my wheels, tires...

    Joyriide Detailed: Audi A4 2.0t White

    This was a referral from a friend and the owner of a previous detail. This customer was only interested in a wash and wax. Upon arrival to their beautiful ESTATE it was clear that it hadn't been clean in a bit. Wheels were BLACK and the insides were caked. Rest of the car just had a build up of...

    Detailing, a dirty job?

    I love working on cars, but one of the things I hate the most is getting dirty. I don't care about getting how and sweaty, but the dirty fingernails and dirt kill me. I've resolved my dirty fingernail problem by using latex gloves, but when it comes to wheel cleaning, especially the insides of...

    Joyriide1113 Detailed: Black VW GTI MKV

    Buddy of mine got a hold of a new GTI. It looked great. Really great actually. Maybe enough to even think about VW R32's. Anyways, he brought it by to get detailed. The paint was really clean, except he had a lot of marring. The car only has like 35miles. Goes to show why you NEVER let the...

    98' Jaguar Coupe

    This client was referred to me by a member of another forum. Client was not looking to spend too much on a full blown detail, so I worked with him and offered a One Step Polish to remove some swirls and brighten the paint. He also wanted his leather cleaned. I was really really happy and...
