A customer referral lead me to the gentleman who owns these vehicles. The MG in particular was a wonderful fully stock restoration, probably one of only a few in existance done to factory spec, down to the painted wheels. The Jaguar was from '67, with a 4.2 liter engine. The owner did not...

Hello everyone, For some odd reason, this year I feel that almost every time I detail a car, even with my partner, I end up not feeling 100% the next day. I'm not talking the expected soar muscles. I am coughing as we speak while doing this big Dodge Ram and it is getting frustrating that I...

So, a friend of my sisters wanted their monster truck detailed. I said yes without seeing it. The owner's workers accidentally put overspray on the side and hood of this beast, and so now it is up to me to fix it. Notice the white dots in some pics. The clay bar removes these, but it takes...

Hello everyone. I had the special opportunity to "own" a Krypton Green Elise for about 10 days, and at the end of the dream, I had to detail the vehicle. This is the same car that I detailed during Christmas with 8 layers of Zaino for maximum protection. Despite protection still going strong...

Happy Fourth everyone! I just want to share some recent details with everyone. The Rolls Royce had original laquer paint, completely oxidized, with cracks in certain areas. The owner wanted to restore the gloss, and time was limited, so I had to do my best on the large areas that I could...

Hello everyone, Early this morning my friend left me a message that a classic and exotic car show was taking place today in Scarsdale, NY. There were many beautiful modern and classic vehicles, ranging from a 1920's Rolls Royce to a Bugatti Veyron and Koenigsegg CCX. Some paint was impressive...

After a few years of detailing one of my client's vehicles, I finally came around to detailing his bad-a$$ '88 Mustang. The paint was repainted a while ago with black BASF Glasurite 40 line paint. This paint was incredibly soft, and the owner wanted me to use the least aggressive methods...

Hello everyone. I've detailed a friend's Krypton green Elise 3 times now, and within the next few weeks, I will be doing it again. As my processes have improved tremendously, I was able to remove 98-100% of the swirls from the paint last time in late December using Menzerna SIP and a 4-inch...

So, day one had me detailing the interior and exterior of a G35x in dark metallic blue. Driving up to the car gave me the sense that it was going to be an easy day, as light swirling was on the paint. Unfortunately, poliseal via rotary, 106ff, and other lighter polishes did not bring the...

This car brings back old memories of my Dad's '92 Polo Green Corvette Convertible. This one had a glass top though. The wheels had what looked like clearcoat failure as well. Nevertheless, the following process was applied to the car after messing around with different combos of the PC and...

Hello all, I have a lead to a black exterior, black cloth interior Chrysler Crossfire located on the Offutt Airforce base in Omaha, Nebraska. The gentleman tells me that the vehicle has never had a high-quality detail and it has the typical swirls and scratches. Please let me know if anyone...

Hello there, I am looking for a Paintless dent repair specialist in Harrisonburg, VA to perform some dent removal on a car or two. Any suggestions? Thanks

Hello friends of autopia. Luckily, this Chrysler Sebring was washed before I arrived. After clay barring the entire vehicle, the majority of the paint recieved Menzerna Super Intensive polish applied with a low-profile orange-cut pad and an Ultimate Detailing machine. It was followed with...

Hello, A potential client of mine would like their '07 black Dodge Magnum and '97 white Chevy Cavalier detailed. I am too far away for the individual, so if anyone is near 19021, please pm me with your contact information and maybe even a website to visit in order to pass on the contact...

Hello fellow autopians. A client of mine has asked me to fully detail (inside and out) his '05 Audi A4, which is a dark blue with black interior. Please pm me if somebody is interested in this job, as it is way too far for me to travel that distance. Suggested members are pleasantly welcomed...

Hello everyone, One of my customers has recently aquired an all-aluminum Caterham Super 7 and he would like me to polish the aluminum body. I am thinking of purchasing the following English custom metal polish kit: Concours Kit It seems to have all of the polishing liquids that I would...

So, I just recently acquired Zaino z2 pro, z5, z6, z8, and the zfx accelerator. I was eager to try everything out and so the first car that I used the entire system on was a beautiful Krypton green Lotus Elise, which was in for winter prep. I offered to do a 6 layer package on top of a proper...

Hello everyone, Being a new user to the Zaino line, I have a few questions. I purchased zfx, Z2 pro, Z5, Z6, and Z8. I am trying to figure out how efficient I can make the process without sacrificing maximum bonding between Zaino and the clearcoat, and I really don't have the ample time...
