Hey guys, here's a quick one I did last week. Brand new 2009 Porsche Cayman S with under 300 miles. We were on the Stanford campus, which is shockingly huge! Anyway here ya go with the pics. Process: Exterior -ONR wash -Megs APC 4:1 on wheels/tires -Daytona EZ detail brush...

This is an extremely long writeup with a LOT of pics. Just a warning for those with slower connections. This is the most intense detail I've ever done. I wanted a seriously challenging detail earlier this year, and I set about looking a for a car and owner who wanted to bring their car back...

Here's another ZR1 that came to my stable last week. Like every ZR1 I've seen and worked on, the CF parts were covered in swirls and buffer holograms from the factory. The rest of the car was very clean, considering it had only 337 miles on it lol. It still got the usual detail. Wash, Clay...

I did some paint correction on a black 09 tahoe and the owner wants to find a place he can get it washed near home or work, that won't undo the work I put in. He lives in Hayward and works in Redwood City. I would help him out but he likes getting it washed twice a week and I don't have the...

I can't seem to post anywhere but the professional before/after section. Anyone else having this problem?

Here is a 94 (i think) Cadillac Eldorado brought to me by one of my corvette customers. He just picked this up and wanted some life brought back to it. It had never been detailed before and with over 100k miles, it showed! This was JUST a 1 stage paint correction job and some heavy interior...

I recently started working at a dealership as their new detail manager. Its a pretty cool place, small town kind of operation. They want to make the detail department stand out from all other dealers, so they brought me on to revamp the department. There is still a lot of work and training to...

I've been crazy busy these last few months with no time for any writeups, but I thought I'd share a quick detail on this beauty! After doing several 09 ZR1's, I got in my first 2010 ZR1. Was a little short on time, so no before pics on this one and it was just a little dusty. But it got the...

I can cook a mean multi-course breakfast. However, beyond that my skills are limited to top ramen and mac n' cheese. I figured it was time to change that! So tonight I cooked a real dinner and it came out great! Teriyaki Steak Bites cooked with a little Sherry along with pineapple, with...

This owner contacted me through one of the local forums and was interested in a basic detail. Upon inspection of the bike, it needed much more than that. Talked to the owner about doing a full correction and he decided to go for it. We also decided to go with some Swissvax Concorso as the...

This car is owned by one of the members on a local car forum. Heavily modified, and heavily tracked car. It has a Cartek forged 347 LS6 with 441rwhp, about $4k in suspension work too. This driver is FAST. Regularly autoXs this car. It was WAYYYYY overdue for a detail though. Owner opted...

Got another ZR1 in for prep recently. I have to say silver is simply amazing on this car! Process -Foamed with Zaino Z7 -Clayed with Zaino Z8 with Megs LT as lube -Leather: Z9/Z10 -Glass: Stoner's Invisible Glass -ZAIO -Z5pro -ZCS -Z16 on tires -Mothers Chrome polish on wheels...

Last year I did an extensive correction on this car and it came out pretty nice. Since then it got a little bit of wear and needed a touchup. We also finished this one up with my new favorite LSP, Swissvax Concorso. Applied by bare hand, this stuff looks amazing on black! Didn't have time...

Does anyone here do any boxing, or teach boxing lessons/training? Interested in learning and giving it a try. Any tips to offer? I'm in decent shape and am active as well as hit the gym (regularly for over a year). I'm not in good enough shape for boxing yet, but I'm working hard at it. I...

This S2000 came to me as a referral from a corvette client. I met with the owner to discuss the options. The owner didn't think the swirls were bad, but unfortunately, they were quite bad. Fortunately honda's paint is pretty soft as are their clears. This particular car was single stage...

This customer came about 90 miles or so to drop her car off to me for a thorough correction. She has a lot of pride of ownership of this car and maintains it quite well. A year or so ago she wanted to have me detail it, but I was pretty booked up at the time, so she had a local guy do it. It...

This is another dealer prep package. A special car gets a special prep ;) I was on a tight schedule so I didn't get any before pics. It was just a little dusty. Process -Foamed with Zaino Z7 -Clayed with Zaino Z8 with Megs LT as lube -ZAIO -Z5pro -ZCS -Z16 on tires -Mothers...

How much is a fair price to remove one? Long time customer wants it taken off his vette. Also, any tips other than heating it up and pealing it off?

This amazing machine is owned by my client with the Range Rover Sport which I did recently. Thread here: http://www.autopia.org/forum/pro-details-before-after/119339-immaculate-refelctions-range-rover-sport-full-correction-23hrs.html He opted for a 3 step correction topped with Swissvax...

This is really a question for anyone: Pros, the weekend/sidejob detailer, whoever. Not for you're buddies car in college you cleaned after a party back in the day (for gross out factor). But for legit client's cars. I have found some weird and nasty stuff, but I'd like to hear what you...
