It's been quite awhile since I've posted here, due to moving and not having my equipment with me. I recently bought another WRX and managed to find someone that I could borrow a PC off of to do a bit of work. The black Saab belongs to a friend who wanted to clean it up a bit to sell. We...

It's been awhile since I did my last detail, probably close to 10 months, but I decided to get to work on my new car while visiting my parents. Also took the time to rattle can the factory black plastic sideskirts to body colour. I heard a lot of talk that WRX paint is super soft and likes to...

Hey everyone, haven't posted on here for quite awhile. Been busy with life, detailing has kind of falling out of my priority list. Haven't actually done a car in ages, but I just picked a new car up last week and its black, so of course I have to break out the polishes for this one! I'm...

Just got this car on Saturday, decided to give it a go and get her cleaned up. Didn't extract the seats or carpets yet in the interior, just did a general clean up. Exterior was unusually hard and non Honda esque.. Went with an Edge yellow pad with M105 via rotary, followed with Optimum...

Jackson DXMG! :laugh: Just picked it up brand new, so shes looking fine as ever. Decided to throw a coat of S100 on for some more depth, enjoy; I know I am ;)

Came out of the grocery store today to find a lady writing a note, she somehow hit my car while backing out of the spot next to it with her Ford Escape. :( I told her it was fine and that I'd take care of it myself even though it looked nasty. Thankfully it was mostly rubber and paint...

Well, at first look it seemed to be in pretty good condition, changed my mind once full sunlight hit it (and I went blind in the process from looking at white paint constantly in sunlight). Wasn't stock paint so it was fairly hard, and the clearcoat on the CF hood was extremely hard...

Well, haven't really polished anything for a couple months, so I did half of the hood, and the left fender of a friends 240sx that he just bought. You guys might remember his previous one...the horrible horrible black one that looked like it was sanded with 400grit and a broom that I posted a...

25 degrees out today, so I thought I'd get outside and get my paint looking a bit better than it was. Got new tires mounted yesterday, so the paint had to be up to par too! I did a one step polish on it when I got the car about a month ago, and it cleared up maybe 75-80% of the defects, but...

Just got this today:clap::clap::clap: Paint was pretty cloudy lookin, it had been in the prev owners workshop covered in sawdust for a number of months, so I set out to clean it up a bit. No means 100% correction, but an improvement for now. I only did a one step on it, I might do more...

Finally redid my cards, put in an order with overnightprints.com and here they are! Definitely recommend overnight prints, very high quality (can see even more detail on the cards in person), thick cards, fast shipping and very good prices. Now I just have to finish up my website.. Whacha...

On the slate was this cool car today, had a TV built into the dash! As it seems with most imported Japanese cars, this one was pretty bad on the exterior. Spent a while on this one today, and M105 was really trying to anger me all day. It would practically bake itself onto the paint uber...

Dirty dirty, everything shows up on tan! Carpets and mats had a bunch of stains and the passenger seat did as well. Cleaned up fairly well though. Plastics + vinyls got 10:1 cut APC Dressed those with 303 afterwards Mats and carpets got Folex + water, then extracted multiple times. Gunk...

Shame that money was already spent on the "sealant" from the dealer... Car looked horrible and its only a week or two old! I dunno why either, but this clearcoat was EXTREMELY soft in some places. I would run my clean finger on the clean paint lightly on some places and it would leave a...

Couple stains were bothering me, so I cleaned and extracted my passenger seat, and carpets today as well as cleaning up the rest of the interior. 303 was used for all plastics and vinyls Folex used and extracted, then hot water + extraction Door jambs got Klasse AIO Couple befores...

Hey all, just started working on a template to use for my site when I finally get it up and running. Trying to keep things simple, but I'm a bit rusty at this stuff right now. I reworked the banner to use one of my photos instead of a stock image thanks to some advice from someone who posted in...

Man, this thing was destroyed! Some panels I got 90%ish out, others only close to 75% probably. Process was Wash Clay M105 - twisted wool via rotary - 1500rpm (Some panels required x2) M105 - white LC ccs pad via rotary -1500rpm Optimum Polish - Black LC VC pad via rotary - 1100rpm...

Finally assembled the Simoniz 2500psi 2.1gph pressure washer we've had sitting in the garage for the last couple years! Gotta get a foam cannon on order soon, anyone know a vendor that sells and ships to Canada? Also did a little refresher on my dads Boxster. Gave it a much needed wash...

Hey all, I've just started some ideas for my site, and started on a banner tonight, heres one of a few I came up with roughly. I do plan to have a couple more buttons on it, and might change some things around. I find that my logo is hard to work with as it seems that anything but a white...

Hey guys, I'm doin some research on what kinda wool pads I should purchase. The only wool I've ever used, was the pad thats included with the Makita 9227C... How would the Purple Wool or some of the Edge wools compare to that in terms of aggressiveness and ease to use? How bout a comparison...
