    LED vs. Halogen work lights ... let's discuss

    It's no surprise that the trend of lighting in homes has gone from halogen, incandescent, fluorescent, and now LED. LED uses the least electricity, lasts the longest, and doesn't have the toxic Mercury waste as fluorescent does. The prices are still high and the beam patterns/colors are still...

    2005 Porsche Carrera GT

    Had the pleasure to work on this supercar a couple weeks back. This was a recent acquisition by the owner of the CS I just posted. This example was another cream-puff, with around 4k on the clock. No defects worth noting on this, just pure automotive art. The attention to detail and design on...

    2004 Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale

    First off, :bow. This has been a long time coming, the day I'd be able to spend with the car that has topped my list. It did not disappoint. To this day, still, my favorite car of all time. I had an uninterrupted 10 hour session with this gem a couple weeks ago. For those of you...

    1993 Ford Mustang Cobra - 8k miles - detailed

    I was particularly excited to work on this gem when I received the email from my client. Having been a big fan of every car he has in his stable, this addition did not disappoint. He mentioned that it could use some love, even though just 8k on the clock. This proved true when seen under...

    Porsche 993 Cab & Cayenne GTS Detailed

    Hi guys, Been a while, just been very busy with moving/job/life. I'm catching up on old details since its pretty miserable in New England today. No big write-ups here, but the pictures should speak for themselves. The processes were almost identical on the two, sans compounding for the...

    Ferrari F355 Berlinetta - Rosso Corsa

    Hi everyone, Did this one about a month back. The owner has put on less than 500 miles in the past year (last time I detailed it), but that didn't stop the dealer from tarnishing the finish. One car wash and here's what most of the paint looked like: Although mostly superficial in...

    My trip to Austin tending to exotics

    Good Evening, This has been a long time in the works, but I always had aspirations to have services desired enough to have the client willing to ship me (& my wife) and supplies via airplane to a respective location. The time has come! My most frequent client had jumped ship from his...

    2001 Z06 - murdered out with a 402 stroker

    Worked on this gorgeous example of what GM is actually capable of when they pull their heads out of their tails. This particular example has quite a few mods, all tasteful and well executed. For me, the sheer stealthiness of matte black w/gloss black lip CCWs, smoked lenses, and carbon fiber...

    1995 Porsche 993 Carrera Cabriolet

    Good Evening All, Been quite busy with life, but I wanted to get this detail posted up as I was quite happy with the results and the 993 is one of my favorite Porsches of all time. This example is rather unique. It was ordered as a Canadian vehicle with heavily bolstered, heated seats...

    Lapis Blue 997 C4S Coupe

    Evening All. Been swamped with life, did this beaut a couple weeks back for the third time in its life. Eclipsing 30k miles, this one is surely driven, as it should be. Starting to show a little wear on some of the clear bra, but overall, car is in great shape. And by the way, been playing...

    Ferrari F430 Spider, E55, SL500, Range Rover

    Worked on this fine stable this past weekend for a regular client of mine. Each vehicle had it's specific areas of interest and no major correction was in store for the day... First up, le Range Rover. Normal levels of soil from daily driving, just clean it up and make it shine: -Zaino...

    2008 Mercedes-Benz S550 4Matic

    Morning everyone. Regular client of mine recently picked up this luxo-box for a bit more comfort for his daily and weekend commutes. This is my first *new* S-class I've detailed and my-oh-my, what a stellar job they did. I absolutely love this car. This particular one had about 4600 miles...

    1975 Dodge Dart Special Edition

    Morning everyone. It's been a while, but life has been crazy. I detailed this Dart last weekend for the same client with the 340 Swinger. He's a bit of a Dodge Dart aficionado. Grew up with them and has found some gems recently so decided to revisit this model. This particular example...

    2002 Porsche 996 Carerra Cabrio revisited

    I worked on this gem about a year ago and what I said when I left stuck with the owner. We discussed the issues with Porsche paint, especially dark colours and how soft it is. I gave the owner a good crash course to minimizing defects and after a year and 6k or so miles, it paid off. Note: I...

    2008 Aston Martin V8 Vantage N400

    This is it. 162 of 240. Only 10 will make it to the US in Karussell Orange. http://us1.4dds.co.za/~jus/pics/aston_n400.pdf My client parted ways with his 2007 V8 Vantage for this rare bird. The wow factor of this car is incredible. Not only is the interior the best in...

    1970 Dodge Dart Swinger - Hemi Orange

    I'm quite certain this is the first one posted up here. Detailed this one for the same client who owns the Pathfinder and Copper FX45. He recently acquired this all original (sans the wheels/tires) example in Hemi Orange. Being all original, there were many defects that were permanent until...

    2004 Nissan Pathfinder Platinum Edition

    Been a crazy couple of weeks here, trying to catch up on posts. I did this one last weekend; first time about 8 months back. The paint didn't have many swirls, but there were some accumulated scratches and scuffs that needed tending. Overall, the truck was just very dirty. Being a daily...

    2004 Mercedes-Benz E55 (Fastest stock one in the country)

    11.7 @ 117mph on stock tires :cool:. Owner showed me the time slip before I hit the road. Hauling the family around in style. This 2004 is originally owned and in great shape. Mild to moderate bonded contaminants, minor swirling, minor soiling; plenty of time to get very involved in areas...

    2007 BMW E90 328xi - Alpine White

    Fun car to work with, pretty much in great shape across the board. Being white, I got rather intimate with the clay bar, but other than that, just light swirling and soil. I paid extra attention to the finer details with this one. Interior - Steam to clean - Zaino Z10 to protect -...

    2007 Infiniti FX45 - Liquid Copper

    Truly such an incredible colour. When it's dirty, ehhh, but when it's detailed, wow. The colour takes on so many different aspects of what a great paint should look like. In the sun, an explosion of tangerine metallic flake; in the shade, deep/dark/wet; and even if lightly marred, the not...
