The owner of this vehicle is someone we've done previous work for on other cars, but came to us this time to have his daily driver refreshed. With over 32k miles, I was surprised by the overall nice condition of the vehicle. The interior was in over-all good shape aside from the leather needing...

Honda's NSX had a major impact on the exotic car market when it hit the American shores in 1991. The first all-aluminum body car meant reduced weight while Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electric Control helped to provide extra power to the naturally aspired engine. Today the car remains...

A member contacted us to work on his Jet Skis. While we had worked on boats before, we had never done a jet ski. We set a price ceiling and took it from there. It took double the time to complete than I had estimated. There's a learning curve with anything so... no problem. The owner brought...

/\ not my hand! This is the first 2010 Model Year production Viper off the assembly line. 2010 is the last year of production for the Viper, which is scheduled to cease after 18 years of continuous production. This last version of the Viper has a bunch of improvements over previous...

Despite being over 6 years old, the styling of the Lamborghini Gallardo still has a commanding presence on the road. Smaller, lighter, and arguably more driver friendly than the Murcielago, the Gallardo isn't only well built for an exotic (something you wouldn't say of many past Lamborghinis)...

This Grand National was in great shape. Mostly original, mint interior and engine bay, nice wheels. It had been repainted from the doors back at some point in its life. The paint thickness was higher in these areas, and they looked better than the original, orange-peel-infested, factory paint...

Early model Ford's likely did more to popularize automobiles than any other car that has ever been on the market. Henry Ford's Model T was a global hit and the Ford Motor Company was able to sell over 15 million of them worldwide. The car made such a name for itself that even today you can stop...

This '08 135i had amazing appeal even before we were contacted to work on it. Having been to meets like Cars and Coffee, as well as some other local events, it attracted attention due to its pure black finish, blood red interior, and tasteful modification. The challenge the owner presented to...

I hear all the cool kids are doing it, so here are a pair of previews of killer write-ups we'll have coming soon enough See you guys soon ;)

"We [AutoLavish] can make your car look better than new". A bold statement. So is it true? Can we do it? Read on and you be the judge. This client calls Jacob to inform him of their soon-to-purchase car of their dreams, a 2010 Camaro. RS package, no sunroof, no audio - light and nimble, but...

We're really getting behind in write-ups, so here we go! You've seen her since the nice couple next door brought her home, and you've seen her over the years: more and more milers are on her but she always looks so beautiful. Now she's all grown up, but the downside of that is she's starting...

Cars less than a year old usually show minimal wear, but without a thorough new car prep, they can still have issues. Dealerships using their goons to "prep" new cars usually leave swirls, halograms, and of course; they always skip over must needed claying. While we have 10+ cars still to...

The Cadillac CTS-V has grown in popularity and gained quite a following since it came out featuring an LS-series engine and 400hp in an entry luxury sedan. I'm personally a fan of not only the engine, but the comfortable interior and subtle exterior changes - the front grill is the hallmark of...

This client has 3 great kids, but kids + snow = dirty interiors. The goal was to really get the interiors cleaned and protected, and worry about the exteriors in spring. First, the Town and Country: 2009, fully optioned, beautiful cream leather interior. Rubber floor mats are a...

So here are two more rides that were worked on at the begining of Winter. The first of these is a '92 Audi 100S. While she certainly looked good for her age, there was still room to bring her back to her glory. Meguiar's Degreaser and Wheel brightener made the wheels, tires, and...

This gorgeous A8L was purchased recently with only 10k miles on the odometer. Before the sale, the vehicle was cleaned pretty good. The interior was immaculate. The new owner contacted us to perfect it, and make the exterior look as good as the rest of the car. He knew it had some swirls, and...

This is going to be a special write-up. Since this customer is in PR we thought it would be cool to do a write-up entirely in Spanish. We post on some island forums, so this might be interesting and easier to follow for some folks there, and hopefully they catch a few tips on how to maintain...

WOW! One of my favorite suppliers is going out of business. The site lists person / family reasons for the big decision, which is quite understandable with a new addition to the family. I wish Bob and his family the best. I truly loved some of his products, and many of you know what a great...
