Hi everybuddy! Flexcalibur and I have definitely been through a lot of paint together and the carbon brushes were getting a bit worn so I fingered instead of just doing a brush change, I'd give him the full treatment. I always thought the Makita paint scheme was a little boring anyway and after...

Hi all! This is a Ferrari California that I did a couple of months ago, which was until now a demo/toy at the dealership and it's been treated like the red-headed stepchild that it is since then... Been throttled, beaten, sometimes loved and rode hard and put away buggy. Anyway, this orphan is...

Oops, I meant to say "Astra"!! Hi boys and girls! Well what a lucky boy I was today to get a car that doesn't have a ceramic finish!!! Wohooo! Haven't had a car with normal paint in ages... Anyway, this guy's been a regular customer of mine for about a year now and just like the title says, he's...

Hi boys and girls! Can I say "pimp" on TV? Oh well, just did :). Anyway, this car came from another dealer last week and it needed quite a bit of service done to it (approx $6,000 :eek:) and whoever owned it before sure did abuse the hell out of the paint. Obviously it had never seen a drop of...

Hi all! I got a call last week from a guy and he asked me how much I would polish his car for. I asked him what kind of car it was and he told me, "Panther DeVille... you've probably never heard of it." Well he was right because I had no idea what kind of car it was. Anyway I told him I'd give...

Howdy all! Let me start by saying that I'd love to have ANY Ferrari, but to be able to park this one at my house every day, I'd even give my neighbor's first-born son... I met the owner of this car at the Ferrari weekend that I went to a couple of months ago and all brown-nosing aside (he'll...

Hi all! Did a couple of F430's this week so I thought I'd share! The first was a new one and actually the last new F430 that I'll probably detail :(. Although there were quite a few RDS they only wanted me to do a 1-stage so I went with S17 and a finishing pad using the method I described in...

Hi all! This is the 2nd rosso fuoco I've done now and well, I can't say it was as bad as the last one, but I will say that if they tried to give it to me in its previous condition I'd stick my foot so far up their a$$es they'd be screaming "Nike" every time they opened their mouths. It was full...

Hi all! I finished this one up yesterday. The car was in for a quick service before it gets shipped of to Monte Carlo tomorrow and the owner wanted to have it spruced up a bit before he picks it up so we agreed on a 1-step polish, clean the engine bay, leather clean/conditioned and of course...

Hi all! Here's another California that I finished on Friday. This is the 2nd 2-seater California ever produced. This poor car has been going through hell since the day it rolled of the production line. It's got 141 km on it and of course the paint looked like poo. The first big mistake with this...

Hi all! Just received my Vintage (cheers Greg!) in the mail today and was curious... what do you charge for a layer of it?

Hi all! Well I was supposed to start this car last Friday, but the factory called us on Thursday night and said that there would be a delay because there were paint problems with the car... :tumbleweed: That's odd. Anyway, like the title says this is a very rare color for Ferrari and the name is...

Hi everyone! Just when I think I've seen the worst from Maranello they top themselves again... I got a call from the service manager on Monday to come in and inspect a couple of Californias that had just arrived. He told me on the phone that his hair stood up when he saw this one... This one was...

The service manager of the dealership called me today and asked me if I could come in and inspect a couple of Ferraris that arrived yesterday. Even he said that his eyes popped out of his head when he saw this one... brace yourselves...

Hi all! I did this guy's Vinaccia F430 (the "eggplant flavoured one :)) a few weeks back and at never really got any feedback from the guy, as he's very busy so it just left me wondering, "Did he like it?" Well we met at the hotel (referring to the Ferrari weekend I went to) and he told me the...

So I'm sitting here having a beer and realxing after a long day's work and my phone rings after my son's already gone to bed... It's my annoying customer calling me again at night time after I've asked him not to. I've got this customer that well, from the first telephone call, annoyed the $h1t...

#1 Hi all! Here's a couple of Quattroportes I did (one last week and one today). The first one is 3 years old and had 60,000 km on it, but was in fantastic shape. It had minor swirls on it and a couple of deep scratches, but aside from that it was clean and well looked after (the seller is a...

Hi everyone! Well aint I the lucky boy to get 2 HUGE boat-sized cars to detail in one week? This was a referral from the Porsche Cayenne I did and although very nice guys, they're the "haggling types", therefore did not want to pay for my finest work or waxes... in other words they can't...

Last week Satan himself :devil: showed up at my house, disguised as a close friend of mine. He apologized in advance for the burden he was to put on me with his sin-mobile, but he's known to exaggerate things a bit when it comes to the condition of the cars he gives me, though this time... he...

Hi all! I was actually supposed to be detailing this guy's Ferrari today, but it's still in the shop so when I showed up he said, "OK then, just do the Porsche now and we can do the F360 next week." I'd love to be able to say that... Anyhoo, the guy was a bit indecisive about what exactly he...
