This forum member reached out to me after having an amateur detailer try to correct the paint on his Jeep. Not only was the correction performed badly, but numerous areas were not done at all. Detailing done cheap has its consequences. Most of the exposed screws had heavily built up...

I teamed up with Joe from Orinda Auto Detail to help him with a new client of his who wanted new Tesla Model S P85 corrected and coated with Opti-Coat Pro. Normally a job like this would be dropped off, but it was just beyond the range of the Tesla's battery. We decided a road trip was in...

Another local Tesla guy wanted to get his recently purchased P85 fully corrected and coated with CQuartz Finest. This one wasn't in bad shape, but the owner wanted it perfect prior to coating, which is the ideal way to do it. 2 days went into this one and I had Ryan out to help me get it done...

Good client of mine parted with his Range Rover Sport and picked up this fully loaded Tesla Model S P85+ (Performance Plus Package) and wanted to get it detailed, paint corrected, and fully coated right from the start. So Ryan and I drove out to Palo Alto to pick it up and drive it back to my...

Long time client picked this up for his new daily driver and had me out to do the new car prep on it, get it ready for clear film, and then detail post clear film install. So this writeup will be spanning 2 days about a week apart. Paint had its share of dealer-installed swirls and buffer...

This M5 came in for a full correction and coating after the dealer had "detailed" it for the owner. At first glance it didn't look too bad, which you'd expect with only 6,000 miles on the clock, but after stripping off the dealer's wax, some pretty severe paint defects were found. This was...

Good client of mine picked up this new Range Rover and it needed some light detaling. Wash, clay, minor correction work, and full interior cleaning and wax. It was pretty clean when I arrived Foaming Some bad polishing work that was done...

I did this one a while back but hadn't gotten around to posting it. This rare car was brought to me in order to recondition it for sale to get the most value possible for it. This was a first year example of the very rare coupe. The custom built Italian body was mated to an American platform...

I was out in the Sac area a little while back for a new car detail....45th Anniversary Camaro SS. Thankfully there were only minimal swirls and associated marring to deal with so it was all completed fairly quickly. As I was on a long detail trip to the Sacramento area and this was the last...

With how crazy my schedule has been the last few months, my contact at the dealership arranged an overnight lock-in with the owner's approval. This was from 9pm to 9am the following day. Upon arrival I had already pulled a 10hr day....so it was truly a marathon work day/night. Nothing super...

A local forum member was looking to get his Prius looking good again, so he called me up and we set it up. I'd done a few Prius' before, but none of those owners wanted to pay for correction work. This particular one was unlike any Prius I had seen.....it actually looked pretty slick! Owner...

I was contacted by the owner of this brand new ZR1 after he took delivery of the car. There were a number or swirls and RIDS on the car and the owner had marked the location of many of them with blue painter's tape. After 2 days of chasing RIDS, the car was flawless and then coated with...

I was privileged to work on this McLaren MP4-12C that serves as the charity car for the Taylor Lynn Foundation. This car helps to raise awareness of this charity and was the charity car on the Gold Rush Rally last year and this year as well. You'll notice there are numerous hearts all over the...

Owner contacted me for a full correction and Opti-Coat Pro on his Tesla Model S "Signature" edition (1 of 1,000 made). A stunning color to see in person as well. A good portion of the car would be wrapped in clear film, so the factory "Paint Armor" would need to be removed. The factory film...

This sweet low mile 993 Carrera 4S was being sold by my client with the 993 Turbo I posted. Full correction was not desired as it was being readied for sale. We set up a 1 step correction to get the majority of defects, and with how soft 993 paint is, that wouldn't be a problem. No crazy...

GT-R was in pretty rough shape after some poor bodyshop work, and the owner wanted it looking proper again. 3 steps of corrective work and 28hrs later it was looking as it should. Upon delivery Not sure what these spots were, but they would not wash or clay off...

This nice low mile 993 Turbo just finished getting some work done and the owner wanted to get as much correction as possible out of it. The paint was very soft and also thin (found a few strike-throughs by previous detailers), so much care was taken to preserve as much material as possible then...

This Cayenne Turbo S had not had a proper detail before, so it was definitely due for some good correction. After measuring the paint thickness and finding it to be pretty thin, it was decided that the LSP would be Opti-Guard to permanently protect the small amount of clear the Cayenne had and...

Finished this Gallardo this week, after it had been victimized by another local detailer who didn't know how to handle things. This car had a bit of everything...swirls, holograms, RIDS, deep scratches, marring on clear film, and a few strike-throughs on edges. A lot of care was exercised and...

First off, thank you to Corey @ CarPro for referring this client to me. Owner had just picked up his new F10 M5 and wanted to get it coated with CQuartz finest for a great combo of gloss, slickness, and 2 years durability w/warranty. Client was serious about getting this done before too many...
