This was another collaboration between Bob from Auto Concierge, and myself. This is probably going to be one of the highlights of my young detailing career! It's a 1991 Ferrari F40. The owner just bought the car about a month ago, and he bought it with only 2600 miles on it!!! But this car...

Just thought I'd share my experiences, and hope people learn from them... I sought after Camilo and his company after Jason (MCWD) recommended him and his products in another thread titled "a must have!!" or something along the lines of that. I was very intrigued, and contacted Camilo as soon...

This is the famous Sharwerks Hulk Green 3.8L GT3RS that I was prepping for a photo shoot later this week. The car was in perfect condition, but when they took it to the dealership to get serviced, and it was washed, even after telling the guys specifically not to wash the car, and even put a...

If there's enough interest, I'm thinking about taking a once-a-month trip to Las Vegas to detail cars. If you would be interested, shoot me an email or PM and I'll try and set something up. If I can get 5-8 cars for a week, I'd go once a month. Let me know everyone!

My car hadn't been washed in almost a month, and I wanted to try out my new toys, so what better way to celebrate my birthday then by washing my car! Exterior: Wheels: P21s TAW on tires/wheel wells P21s Wheel Gel on rims EZ Spoke brush EZ Fender brush Boars hair wheel brush Swissvax...

I was looking in to buy a few 3M products. Such as a few of their pads (to try them out), Ultrafina, and ECC. Where can I get them? Thanks!

So here is the final result with my trials and tribulations of super soft honda paint, and trying to get the most possible correction within a time/price limit. After the customer picked up the car, he was very pleased with the work, and I went over with him how the paint was going to look in...

So I'm still in the process of this detail of another honda S2000, and I was looking forward to showcasing my skills on a black car, with tons of swirls. ANd why not a small honda? it's got soft paint so it should be a relatively easy job, right? Wrong. I now know why we detailers never make...

I've narrowed my logo down to two possibilities, and I can't decide! Which one? Logo #1: Logo #2: Bonus: What car is it from? :p Thanks!

This was a special car, and I'll tell you why at the end ;). This is a 2008 Chicane Silver S2000 that hadn't been washed in a little over a month, and had seen light rain/normal road wear. It's a regular of mine, so it received a one step and some swissvax! Exterior: Rims were pressure...

So this weekend I was working on an '08 Chicane Silver S2000 (C&B will be up when I get time!) and it only needed a one step polish, so I used my metabo, with a White CCS 5.5" pad, and PO106FA. The thing is, it left the slightest, but in my eyes, noticeable holograms on some parts of the...

So I decided to pull the plug on buying some really quality wax from Phil, as he gave me circumstances that I couldn't pass up, and knew wouldn't have the chance to jump on again, so I bit my tounge and bought a pot of Swissvax :). What's in the box! Uh-oh.. It's black.. what could it...

This was a maint. wash I did for a customer who's car was really bad :(. I've already detailed it before, and they were back again for the interior, and exterior to be cleaned. Exterior: Pressure wash Wheels with Megs APC 4:1 Tires dressed with Megs HD 5:1 Wheel wells dressed with Megs...

As many of us have come to realize, every automakers paint (clear) is generally different types of hardness. We can all agree that honda clear is very soft, and BMW clear is very hard. After tons of searching on here, I couldn't find a thread that listed what the hardness of each clear, and...

So this was my co-workers car that he bought, oh, about 4 months ago. I told him to let me detail it 4 months ago, so the car could start off on the "right foot." But he said he didn't want to pay for me to do it 'cause the dealership was going to detail it for him. So I smirked and said "ok."...

I've been so busy I haven't been able to post my C&B! Over the weekend I was referred to by sam for a client who needed some work done on his M3. I gladly took up the request to help spread my name around autopia and also to add to my portfolio. I haven't done many full correction jobs, so...

Sigh. Detailing woes today! Rant right below, then true questions! So this morning I got to the clients house right on time, and the first thing I realize... My wallets missing. And it still is. There wasn't any money in it, but now have the hassle of having to wait for basically my life...

When you measure the paint, is there a certain amount of "standard" micros you take away from a certain pad/polish(compound)? Or do you just measure the paint in your test section, do one pad/polish combo, and then measure again and use that same measurement throughout the entire car until...

So I've been detailing as a side business now for almost 2 years, just to keep my hobby afloat. Recently I decided to make something more of it and became more interested in making it a full time job. Well, about three months ago I met a guy whos car I detailed, and he was so impressed with me...
