Every now and then as detailers, we'll come across a car that is in such poor shape that we take the job hoping for some improvement, any improvement, knowing whatever we do will be leaps and bounds better than where it started. We don't go into it expecting too much, but somehow we manage to...

Earlier this year, I had the distinct pleasure to work alongside two very good friends prepping a Ferrari 328 GTS for the 2014 Cavallino Classic. I also was lucky enough to have Tyler Cauley ready and willing to come out and snap his usual top-quality pics of the stunning finished product. Not a...

This Porsche 996 was brought to me to return some of its original luster back to the car. With over 120k miles on the clock and years of wear, it was no easy task bringing life back to this weary paint. Over the course of two days, I did my best to enhance the overall appearance of this car and...

By now, everyone is familiar with Tesla's Model S techno-marvel. It's quite unlike anything else currently on the road, and these cars are becoming increasingly popular. With massive amounts of luxury, technology and integration, the Model S is setting standards that many automakers will be...

All it took was one test drive. While at Augusta for the Masters Tournament, a client of mine decided to test drive a McLaren 12C on a whim. I wish I'd been there for that, because it must have been one heck of a test drive. Fast forward a couple of weeks, and he's the happy owner of the first...

First off, I'd like to thank David Fermani, Tunch and the whole 3D crew for allowing us once again to sample their newest product. This review is for the revised sample that was sent out, not the problematic first batch. I also want to apologize for the great delay in getting this review back...

Happy Birthday buddy! :dance: :birthday:

Recently I was contacted by a member of a local forum to detail his car, a repainted Anniversary Edition Volkswagen GTI. I felt very privileged to be asked to do this since he lives 2.5 hours away and would be leaving the car with me for several days. I appreciate the trust he had in leaving...

Sorry for my lack of better pics, with the exception of the FR-S, these weren't correction details so I didn't go crazy with the camera. This Raven FR-S was in probably the worst shape of all the 86s I've done to date. Dealer-abused in a bad way, it already had damage you'd expect to find on...

This car was a new acquisition from a client of mine who had chased this particular car for a few years and through a couple of different owners before he was finally able to call it his. The previous owner had used it for a daily driver, so it had some issues. My client was taking it to a...
