Hello everyone, I am in need of a detailer to refer business to in the Southern VA area. Currently, there is a black Nissan Maxima, the last generation, that needs a pro's help. Please pm me asap with contact info so we can talk more about it. I run ads in Southern VA, but I cannot reach...

Up for sale is a wonderfully kept 2004 E55 AMG, which is owned by a friend of mine. This light silver/black leather interior vehicle has about 34,000 miles on it, and it truly is one of the best-kept paints that I have worked-on in my time of detailing. I believe there was a light scratch...

Hello everyone. Here's a light silver 911 Turbo. I forgot my camera-holder for the tripod and the owner was in a bit of a rush, so not so many pictures this time. The weather was crumy as well...rain, rain, and clouds. I was so dumb as I forgot to take pictures of the beautiful brake...

So, after some hard work and realizing that I cannot help remove some extremely deep scratches/swirls due to the lack of paint on some areas of the car, such as the hood, roof, rear hatch, and rear bumper, I accept what I cannot bring back but am pretty happy with the rest of the car. I'd like...

REMINDER!!! For those who have seen this thread first, the interior was just as icky: http://autopia.org/forum/click-brag/94514-93-rx-7-disaster-part-1-interior-3.html?highlight=part+interior So, here we go with the start of the exterior of this vehicle. The owner told me that the paint...

So a friend of mine wanted their RX-7 detailed...Obviously it was not taken care of. The first time I saw it, I knew it would be hard work, and it was! Today I just did the interior. Tomorrow I might go over the trim with some Sonus Total Eclipse because the panels seem a little dry in...

All we did with the E55 was a wash, clay barring, wheel cleaning, and Optimum Optiseal...these were the tastefull, extremely fast results: And the picture that I think is pretty crazy...it's a 1935 Ford Phaeton with nitrocelulose paint...PS and a finishing pad. The owner told...

While detailing a Lotus Elise a while back, the owner of this F-150 came along and asked to have his truck detailed. He never called me back when I gave him my card. But, recently, when I went back to detail the same Elise again, this guy came along and this time the sale was executed. Here...

Yup, that's the question, please feel free to suggest other products. Give me a whole list because I've tried a good number of LSP's/aio products, and I feel that Klasse AIO still produces the slickest surface after being fully cured. I've tried P21S, Optimum Spray Wax, PS, OS, RMG, Natty's...

Hello everyone. To start, I would like to say that I recently purchased some 8 inch Edge 2000 wool pads (black, yellow, and green). I typically use the entire line of 6 inch Edge 2000 foam pads, but, these huge wool pads make the rotary so much more stable and easier to control! Is it due to...

The car was in great condition before the detail...the wheels where the only real issue with this one. The process was as follows: -Wash -Clay bar -PS with blue Edge 2000 foam pad and PC at speed 4 -OS -P21S -wheels treated to PS and OS -wheel wells received a pre-wash with PB Bug squash...

So, my friend wanted me to detail his car, for free, because I knew it needed it. The car had scratches (many were very deep) all over the place and it was a complete wreck. Probably some of the worst paint I've ever worked on. Nevertheless, this was a great time to get comfy with my Metabo...

I finally got to detail another Crossfire. The vehicle was in good condition, with minimal swirls but some random scratches around. The process was as follows: -wash -clay bar -Optimum poliseal via pc and a green edge 2000 pad...the rotary was used in some locations. -Optimum Optiseal...

Hello everyone, My friend has backed-up his 335i sedan and has damaged the rear trunklid and would like it to be repaired. Any idea if a pdr specialist will fix this? The paint is the metallic black. Here are pictures of the damage, right above the BMW badge. If anyone is in or around the...

Hello everyone once again. This time around, I detailed an '05 Elise that had the same, Chrome Orange pearl-effect paint, but with more signficant swirls that I did not capture well with my camera beforehand. Interestingly enough, the clearcoat on this one seemed much harder then on the Exige...

The car had 165 miles on the clock before I commenced my labor. Fortunately, I was given a ride in it and it was fun. The owner did not push it much since it was a new car, no problem with that though, I enjoyed it either way. Next time maybe I'll be able to drive it. Nevertheless, after the...

So, I was just starting to use my metabo polisher, and for some odd reason that I forgot, I decided to press the red spindle lock button down while the polisher was on, at a speed setting of 1. Too bad I forgot to never touch the button when the polisher is on. Nevertheless, the polisher made...

The owner mentions the vehicle has a gelcoat. Any product suggestions to correct, finish, then seal the gelcoat? I have been reading around, and many mention that a gelcoat finish requires more aggressive products if major corrections are necessary. Of course, always use the least agressive...

I am having some bonding/beading issues with PoliSeal (maybe it's just the nature of the product), but here's my car with just this product on the car...The few swirls on the car were effectively removed by the product. It was applied via PC and an edge 2000 blue pad. Enjoy:

Hello everyone. So, I was so excited to try Optimum Poliseal. I have used the product on a friend's BMW and it seemed to look great...If I ever get pics of this car, I'll certainly post them up as I think the car came out looking gorgeous. Nevertheless, my car's last wax was probably in...
