First up a hood paint save on this Audi S4, plastic shovels should not be used on paint to remove snow. I used HD Adapt and a few microfiber pads to address the various deep defects. HD Speed & HD Poxy.

Next up, this Honda Accord I've seen plenty of times deal with overspray and bodyshop work. HD Adapt, Polish, Speed, and HD Poxy. Honda paint is pretty darn straightforward to work with.

A very unique and special FR-S Monogram edition in for New Car Opticoat. CarPro Perl on tires.

Black Car Madness! A Variety of vehicles that I had to hammer with proper paint correction. Various examples of body shop and detailing neglect. Some say detailers are overrated and expensive, I say we save cars from a cycle of disaster.

2004 G35, previous owner couldnâ€™t care less for the cosmetic portion of the vehicle. We did what we could despite many issues all over the vehicle.

$240 a pop per headlight? Why not do a basic polish and save yourself money

I see clouds not swirls!

2011 Dodge Challenger SRT8 392 with wonderful body shop hologramming despite having a special custom hood. HD Adapt, HD Polish, Meguiars 205 were all used in various situations.

No sun! Sucks to be me detailing late into the evening. I helped the owner understand the entire world of detailing and gave an introduction to basic waxing principles with his new orbital.

2008 CLS 550 Black with 68K Miles. Someone hit a few areas with a Dewalt and wool pad. So after many days of frustration and scheduling we got this vehicle in to deal with most of the defects.

Sun progress.

You have no idea how ridiculous it can be, but hey once the car is clean and the Rupes gets going anything can happen.

Wait, it's pollen seasn.
