    Clients asked for hand washes and hand waxes

The tractor trailer was much tougher.....up and down ladders.....the client wanted no machines on the rig....it took 36 hours by hand....we used megs one-step cleaner wax......The client wants to be anonomous so please...

    Collinite 476S....My first time using.

    Since it's known for durability what better way to test it than on the water. I prepped the boat with a thorough wash followed with AIO and topped it with Collinite.......all by hand. It went on easy and came off easy. It also looks pretty reflective on fiberglass. I'm thinking that the fresh...

    NOPI....My client got an award.

    I hope these pics come out OK. We spent 3 days getting Dave's GS ready for NOPI. Beautiful cars and lots of competition. It was the first NOPI trip for both of us. The GS took third in Asian Luxury (Mild) I'm the old guy sporting the Autopia shirt and the little boy is my son Donovan. The car...

    Souveran on a TSX

    When I saw the color, Pinnacle products were calling me. I used Paintwork Cleansing Lotion and Souveran. I've never used Souveran in an office parking garage before.

    Shark Steamer

    I'm doing some 'Show Car' details in a couple of weeks and need to improve on my engine bay detailing skills. I bought a Shark Steamer at Lowe's today for $99.00. It was pretty impressive on the infomercial and was very impressive cleaning my QX4 engine bay. On one side I just sprayed the...

    Another dealer car.....Jag

    I actually detailed this car at the Jaguar Dealership.....They had a bay reserved for me...... My client arranged it. There were also four full time Detailers prepping other cars while I was Zainoing this one. It was quite an experience for me. Two of the sales staff asked for my card. I really...

    New client from Texas.

    She is very interesting; a clinical Hypnotherapist. She wanted her late model Benz thoroghly cleaned & waxed at a reasonable cost. The car is in really nice shape mechanically too. I let her know that it needs a couple of polishing steps next time. The car was AIO'd and NXT'd. She was pleased

    New vehicle & client chose my service

    over the dealership. I'm starting to enjoy getting these brand new cars to do. I like the paint & chrome but I'm not sure I like the style of Hummers.....They sure are expensive though. The customer wanted Zaino and I think it was a good choice on this color.

    Quality cars

    Client's wife wanted her Benz done after seeing her husbands SL500. His was simply clayed and Zaino'd. Her's was washed and NXT'd.....applied with a Cyclo.

    Customer said no to dealer prep

    and asked me to prep his 350Z. It was my first new Z. It really handles well although I like a manual tranny. He requested Zaino so I clayed and Z2'd. My Camera didn't pick up the flake and the pics don't do it justice. One to follow....

    I tried something new today....

    I usually will not experiment with unfamiliar products but a reputable body guy swore that I would like Wizards Shine Master Polish and Sealant. I asked my client if I could use her car to experiment and also..... If she or I didn't like it......I'd strip it and use my usual AIO, S100 Combo. I...

    Zaino was requested

    and of course I complied. Gotta like doing cars like this. The owner is also a fan of Autopia. Two other pics coming.

    Holiday work.

    Nothing fancy, but one new customer turned into two. The wife wanted her Accord to look better so I aio'd followed with #16. Her husband liked hers so much that he asked for a cheap quicky so I washed his Cherokee and applied NXT with my Cyclo.

    Souveran on light colored cars is nice too

    I've always been a Souveran fan and my client base is growing because of it. I used AIO & Souveran by hand this time.
