Here are some new pics of my 325. Don't post much anymore, so i figured id share my latest car and my work on it! Let me know what you guys think!

So I am detailing a friends 02 Black E430 and about to finish my final polishing stage and had to change the buffing pad to the finishing pad. This is the fourth time I had used this polishing pad and really like it. So I go to peel the pad off the backing plate and it comes off but the...

Well my new BMW finally got detailed. I clayed, buffed (3M SMR via rotary and Klasse AIO via PC polisher), and zainoed the whole car. It looks sick in person, I took these today and the detail was finished monday so it got a little dusty but still looks sick. I used Zaino Z5 with ZFX, 3 coats...

I used 3M Pi3 via rotary and a yellow meguiars polishing pad at 1000 rpm yesterday. It barely did anything to the paint, just shined it up a little. I then used AIO via PC using a yellow lake country cutting pad, it eliminated almost all the swirls on the paint, cut much more than the Pi3 via...

Started using my rotary buffer last nite on my topaz blue 325i. Using a 6.5 inch meguiars yellow polishing pad and 3M SMR for dark cars, i set the rotary to 1000 rpm. It works quite well i must say! Much faster than PC and powers thru swirl marks and other paint defects very well! I finally...

Detailed my friend's BMW M3. Clayed (only 8k and the clay bar would turn black only after a few swipes!), 3M SMR, and then waxed with P21S. I think it turned out really nice! Also did the interior, which smelled and looked great. Used Zaino Z9/Z10 and pinnacle interior treatment. Here are...

Here they are pic infront of the john hancock buidling!

Washed the ML today and applied 1x Klasse SG the billnorth way. I applied it to one panel, waited around 2-3 minutes and wiped off with a dry MF. It came off with very little effort in 52 degree weather, about the same as Zaino. It also filled swirls pretty well and really brightened the...

Turned on my PC on saturday to buff out a black benz, thing started to spit oil where the black plastic head meets the body. I stopped using it right away when that happened. I would like to get it repaired but do not know how to, where to take it, and if it is even worth it. I am planning on...

Took my car in for a rattling passenger seat and to get new tires installed... seems simple enough right? WRONG! First off, they had the car for the weekend and two business days, way too long to do that. Then they changed the tires and knicked one of the rims, I also had noticed that one of...

Wheel wells that is!! I spent a good part of saturday cleaning my wheel wells and washing/vacumming/zainoing the lexus in preparation for the winter months ahead. Here are a few pics in my parking garage rollin on my new Firestone Firehawk SZ50-EP tires, man are they great! love the...

How should i go about getting gum out of my seats? It is like stuck in the seam? Should i use carpet shampoo, what do u guys recommend? These are cloth seats btw.

It seems that every product, whether it be zaino, klasse, aquapel, or whatever seems to last longer on the benzes then it does on my lexus. I am using the same technique to apply on all the cars and Zaino seems to last MUCH longer on the benzes then the lexus... same with aquapel on the glass...

oh geez. Today after work I am going home to wash all three cars. Save me!! Anyone want to lend me a helping hand :D. Gotta start preparing the C320 for this weekend's concours event! I plan on washing, zaino Z5 everything, dress trim and clean wheel wells and minor undercarriage...

This upcoming weekend I will be in brookline, ma @ the museum of transportation for mercedes day. I will bring the C320 and enter it in a "street" concours judgement. An SL55 and ML500 Brabus that I detail will be there as well. I will be sure to take pics etc. Rules can be found at...
