Well fellow detailers. It has been an absolute blast the last few years to detail cars. It started from a hobby, to an obsession, into a small sole proprietorship. I graduated from college this summer and start a full-time job tomorrow. Its not necessarily my dream job but the income is good...

The following three cars were done in one day from 9am to about 10pm. All three were just mini details with no paint corrections. The VW was in the worst shape having sat outside for a loooong time collecting massive amounts of tree sap and tar. The Lambo and the Maser had very very minor...

Car is a 2004 Ferrari 575M. Car was recently purchased a few months ago and the new owner wanted to get it polished up. This car really needed some love and the before pics don’t actually do the swirls seen in person justice. The owner brought this over to the house I was detailing Bentley...

Car is a 1994 Bentley Brooklands Long Wheel Base in a dark green with roughly 40ish thousand miles. Has had some panels repainted at one point and the car overall needed some good amount of polishing. The paint was pretty hard and the hood and trunk had some major pitting and etching. I...

Finished detailing this 1967 Ferrari 330 GT in a Dark Olive Green. The car was restored and repainted about 3 years ago. I guess the last body shop/detailer left a good amount of buffer trails around the vehicle and the car had a good amount of hazing and swirls. I spent 13-14 hours over two...

Well it’s been awhile since I have posted on here. I have just been busy with many things, including detailing. I have done a couple of other cars but didn’t have time to document like I wanted, so no bother posting them. Today I completed a detail on this 1988 Ferrari Mondial 3.2...

Can’t say that I actually fully-detailed this car, but the owner (whom I have detailed two other cars for) was picking this up last night and I wanted to give it a free “quick detail.� I took a bunch of photos primarily since I am in LOVE with this car. It’s a 2007...

The detail of this 1997 F355 Spider was completed over the course of a couple of days. The first day was just correct the hood. Apparently the car has had some paint work and it looked liked someone wetsanded the passenger side of the hood and never buffed it out! After talking with the owner...

Detailed this 1950 Mercury Coupe. The car was repainted black 16 years ago with a lacquer finish and will be getting a repaint again a few years from now. The car was heavily swirled and hazed. The paint itself if bubbling in many areas and there were a lot of burnt edges/areas from the...

This is a 2001 BMW M5 with around 93,XXX miles. Half the car has been repainted one point or another and sees nothing but auto washes. Wow this car was rough. I got so frustrated with it. The repainted panels buffed out to near perfection while the original painted panels were a PITA. The...

1993 Mustang LX 5.0 completed yesterday (Saturday). Car belong to a guy I know and he has to sell it. I knew I had my work cut out for me and we both knew close to perfection was not an option. I did everything I could in the time I had it. Some panels have been repainted and those buffed...

The car is a 1996 Ferrari 355 Berlinetta. Owner recently purchased it and wanted it detailed. Previous owner didn’t appear to take very good care of it as it was pretty swirled and the marring was a little deep. The paint is single stage and was actually a little bit of a pain to work with...

Moderators please feel free to move to appropriate section. Sooooo , what ever happened to the Extreme Detail Contest!!??! Remembering a few years back when I entered them, they were a great monthly contest with reward of a $100 Autopia.org store gift certificate. Did the contest go away...

Detailed was completed on Saturday. Car was dropped off at my house at 9 am and I finished at roughly 7pm as the sun was tucking down for the night. Car was in rough shape thanks to a local detail shop that left buffer trails EVERYWHERE. Luckily they weren’t too deep and the paint was not...

Today’s detail consisted of a 2002 Porsche 911 GT2 with around 10k. This car belongs to the same owner that I detailed the SL500 for last week. Upon arrival the car was cleaned and I saw no need for a wash. Sun was out all day so I was able to check my work after polishing. Process...

This detail was completed on Saturday. It was an exterior only. The car is a 1997 BMW M3 with only around 30-something-k. Wow! This car was in great shape considering its age. The client I detailed it for recently acquired the car about 6 months ago I believe. I didn’t really bother...

This detail was completed on Friday. It’s a 2003 Mercedes SL500 with around 12k miles and in non-metallic black. The day was cloudy with no sun breaking through at all. The car was pretty rough with a good amount of swirls and deep random marring. I did what I could and got the finish...

Today’s detail was an Exterior only on a 2002 Mercedes C32 AMG. Car roughly has 55k on it, some suspension and some engine modifications. It was time to modify the exterior! Pretty rough swirls, tons of contamination, etc. The brake dust was baked in on the wheels. Even though in the...

Car is a 1972 Ferrari Daytona with original Lacquer paint. The car belongs to my client in which I have completed details on 6 of his cars so far, this being the 7th. I have seen the car before and knew it needed a paint job from the get go. The owner knows it as well but really wants the car...
