Doing some mild correction work on an M3. The rear quarter has been replaced. On the replaced panel the paint depth is ranging from 58-86 microns. The rest of the car is fine. That is a little thinner than I would like to work with. I was thinking about using D151 on a black pad and leaving...

This was probably one of the most challenging correction jobs I have ever done. Of course its black, riddled with defects, tight body lines, low to the ground, paint difficult to work with, on and on. This particular Mercedes paint did not like microfiber pads at all. The paint seemed to be...

So I am back at the garage mahal for another job. This 1964 nova is fully custom in every way. Paint was a little hazy with swirls mostly from too many wipe downs but I would not say it was in poor condition. Correction was done with Rupes 21 with a microfiber cutting pad with D300. Second...

A customer of mine recently picked up this super charged 68 Chevelle. The car was pretty clean when I received it. Moderate swirls and a fair amount to orange peel. The car is more of a driver than a show piece and the owner did not want the expense of wet sanding the entire car. I proposed...

I was asked to get this 2014 GT Blue Viper ready for resale. I don’t normally do mobile jobs but I made an exception in this case. As you will see it was a very cramped one car garage that I was forced to work in. The owner is putting the car up for sale to purchase a 2016 Viper ACR. The...

2013 Nissan 370Z-Cquartz Tampa, FL I have always had a place in my heart for Z cars after owning a ’90 Twin Turbo myself at one time. The owner purchased the car wanted to have the paint corrected and coated due to the fact that the car sits outside 24/7 in the Florida sun. The car...

I worked on this Camaro about 4 years ago. At that time I only preformed a light polish and paint protection. This time around the work was a lot more extensive. The 15 year old lacquer paint had water spots minor swirls and was very hazy. The wheels had water spots and tarnish. The...
