    Testing out some various coatings

    Mini Cooper Coupe saved from the body shop hackage

It's not her primary car and is definitely her baby, which she takes very good care of. She doesn't have the luxury of a garage so she had purchased a large, fully enclosed tent that she...

    Black Jeep Rubicon, Major Paint Correction, and CQuartz Finest Coating Application

    I know it’s supposed to be a “Jeep thing�, and I do get it, but I still really dislike polishing these vehicles, and I’m sure most detailers will agree. This off road king will be the 2nd vehicle I’ve done for this client now. This vehicle gets used to go to the cabin a lot, seeing its...

    This car was a referral from another client of mine and was scheduled for a 2-step correction and coating. The car was restored a few years back but had been in and out of a few different shops for various work and it looks like they weren’t very careful around the paint, and I’m sure the...

    ‘14 Chevy 2500 HD, Multi-Step Correction and Opti-Coat Pro application

    Good client of mine picked this up last winter to haul cars around and he wanted to get it looking right and have some long term protection applied.

    Lotus Elise "60th Anniversary" Paint Correction

    This one was just in for a quick pre-sale polish and full correction was not the goal. I did put in a little more work than I was being paid for on this one as a 1-step just wasn’t getting the paint to a point where I was happy with it. ;) Before Bugs from the previous summer Rear...
