This is a 2010, 45' rv. The striping was painted on the bus, and clearcoated. After a trip to the Rolex 24 in Daytona, it needed some work. Befores: The roof was pressure washed, and polished with Duragloss 501 on an orange pad, and the G110 v2 The rest of the exterior...

Chris and I were contacted to head to beautiful South Carolina to correct this very low mileage, 83 Ferrari 308 GTS. Here is the condition when we arrived: This image shows holigrams/buffer trails from previous polishings: Here are some measurements taken on the engine cover...

I haven't posted anything in a while, so I figured I would post this pair of Porsches from this weekend. The client contacted me from Autopia, and due to his work schedule, requested we try to work both in for the same weekend. I decided to enlist the help of Chris Michalski. Mike...

Last fall, a gentleman in Raleigh contacted Todd Helme through F-chat, because he was purchasing a Testarossa, and wanted a referral for a detailer in his area. Todd was kind enough to give him my name and number. Well, the Testarossa purchase fell through, as several issues were discovered...

The owner of this car found me on the net through a performance car site. He was coming to Charlotte for a car show, and requested I detail his car for the event. Luckily, I was able to have the assistance of forum member "Michakaveli. This car is the owner's daily driver (except during...

Well, I currently have an old PC, a Flex, a rotary, and just ordered a new PC7424XP. How does the new 7424XP compare to the Flex? I am wondering if it's worth keeping the Flex.

Well, the 944 belongs to a client that also owns an 07 911S with only 7K miles. He got this 944 Turbo, with 100K miles to be his beater car, to keep the miles down on the 911. Process: Wash with Surf City Garage soap Clay with Adams grey, ONR as lube Polished with KBM using the PC and...

I was looking at the Spray Wax (as an alternative to Aquawax...it is a little cheaper), the Undercarriage Spray, and the leather rejuvinator. Any input on these products? Are they any good?

I am a classic VW Bug freak (I HATE the new ones), and personally own a '73. Well, I am a better detailer than mechanic, so I have an agreement with the shop that restored mine, that I polish the ones they paint, in exchange for free labor on my own Bug. It works pretty well, as they have put...

I hated to post this, and no one here may no the answer, but here it goes anyways... Are Surf City Hot Rod Detailer, and FK425 the same? I recently bought both, and to me, they seem to smell and look the same. I just found it very strange.

Who has used both, and if you have, which is better looking and more durable?

Just as a brief history on this car: I was contacted by this client last year, to detail their Escalade. When I finished the Escalade, the client was so happy, they told me to have a look at their Jaguar. Well, they opened the garage, and what I saw was a car so hammered with buffer trails, I...

I picked this product up at O'Reilly Auto Parts last week. It was about $8. Meguiar's lists it as being slightly less agressive as M105, but using the same abraisive technology as M105. I used it on a car that had been painted 3 months ago with single stage point, with the PC, and the Kevin...

This was a fun one. The client picked this car up a couple weeks ago, and asked me if I could do anything with the paint. He assumed he needed to get it repainted. It's a 68, he's the 3rd owner. It has the original 289 engine, and 89K original miles. He plans on replacing the bumpers, and...

Well, this is my project car. I recently got laid off from my full time job, so I have had some time to play with it here of late. It looked like this when I bought it... Some friends of mine fixed it up in their garage for me. It was not a professional job by any means. My buddy painted...

A friend spraypainted his wheels, and a good bit of overspray got on the tires. Anyone removed spraypaint from tires before, or have any thoughts on a good method of removal?

Once again, I had the help of "Sal329". There's no way I could have gotten both of these done today without him. BMW process: ONR wash (car and wheels). QID wipedown of the interior, and a vacuum. I have done this car before, so it just needed a some spot buffing, and another coat of wax...
