So I got a call about a black BMW M3 back in December, and upon seeing it I knew it was gonna be some work. The owner took pretty good care of it, but it definitely needed some polishing and tlc. It took me about a day and ahalf so maybe 13 hours. here is the process... Wash: cherry power...

I was presented with this monster back in August, but havent had enough time to put up the pictures. This sequoia had been destroyed by the owner's dogs, and frankly I was worried that the scratches werent going to come out. In addition, there was an incredible amount of swirling all over the...

So I got P21S wheel cleaner gel about 2 months ago and when i use it, it doesnt seem to cut through brake dust at all. I have to scrub just as much as I do when I use purple power. Im not sure if Im just not doing it right. Here is my process: I spray the wheels with some water to lube up the...

So the Boxster S came to me in pretty great shape already in that the wheels were clean (for the most part) and there wasnt much dirt on the car. However, there was some moderate swirling. The owner told me that the car had been repainted and that it had not gotten a coat of wax yet. As this...

So today I detailed an 02 blue BMW 540i and while doing my correction I realized that it needed two hits of 3m rubbing compound to get it 95% clear. I did take pictures but my befores aren't that great, but maybe I'll post em later. Anyway, tomorrow I am scheduled to work on an 07 BMW 335 hard...

This is my first before and after post, so hope its not too long. So my neighbor walked over to my house the other day and asked if I would detail his wife's black LS460. He said that the car had been detailed earlier in the year and that he only really wanted it to be washed, waxed, and...

Today I was asked to do a wash, wax, and complete interior detail. Everything was going well with the interior, but once i moved to the exterior I faced a huge road block. There was a significant amount of grim in almost all of the corners of the rims that would not come out even with purple...

The owner of this white toyota sienna says that the car is really dirty, so I assume she has never had it detailed. Does anybody have any suggestions on what to use on this? Does it have a hard or soft clear? I was planning on using 3m rubbing compound on a 5.5 inch LC orange pad with a PC...

Okay, so today I detailed a Jag XJ, older body style. After using my PC with megs ultimate compound (i know i should get m105 and m205) with a 5.5 inch LC Orange pad, I noticed that not only was the hood still really really swirled, but that there were a lot of holograms on the trunk of the car...

I am detailing a 2009 audi A4 S4 tomorrow and I am pretty sure that it has black b-pillars (correct me if im wrong), but when i tried to polish the swirls out of my car, the b-pillars got really hazy. Was I using too harsh of a compound? I used scratchx (old version) on an orange 4 inch LC pad...

Hey everybody, I have been cruising around the site for a while but just recently became a member. I am relatively new to detailing but have a little experience. My one major problem is that when I try to clean the leather, it doesnt seem to get as clean as I would like. What do you...

Hello everybody! I am new to the forum and relatively new to detailing. I am working on starting a business here in eastern NC, but am having a lot of trouble getting any business. I was wondering how all of you guys keep the business going with the hard economic times. I am only 17 and am...
