Hey fellas; haven't posted in awhile, you know how it goes. Moving, working, etc. Anyway, it's been about a month since my last c&b and I have like 40 cars worth, so I am just going to post some highlights. I had one or two audi's this summer. One or two....thousand. :D I had a solid week of...

Hey guys, been awhile - you know how it is, busy. Anyway, I thought this one was worthwhile. Unfortunately I never did get pics in the sun, I am working on it... the car looked incredible, but these pictures don't really show it off. I was keen on getting candid sun shots because I was trying...

Hey guys - so I know how to do rash repair on alloys, and have done it a number of times with success, but this one is a bit of a conundrum. The wheels I am trying to repair have a coated aluminum lip, so I can't just add 3m super red and paint with wurth. The rash is not bad, but it *is* into...

Been a week or so since my last C&B. I remember as I posted it thinking "man, what a great week - nice cars, most in good shape, easy to detail, good times..", well, I guess my good karma ran out, because this week has been rough. here she goes. It started off quite docile, a one year old...

Hey guys. Been a busy week back from vacation. Sorry for the lack of documentation before/after, honestly I've been pretty busy so I just snap some pics and off I go. Here goes. I started with a Ford Excursion, which was a heck of a way to get back into the swing of things. It's one of those...

Hey guys; I just got a gallon of this stuff. I wanted to try it out, haven't really found a "go to" tire dressing I like. Anyway, I've used on three cars now, all tires were cleaned with a degreaser and brush, allowed to dry, then I applies OTS using a spray bottle, applied uniformly and wiped...

Hey guys; working on the pics now but I thought I'd post up a little "teaser", this is what I was greeted with in the AM. It was a long day. Trust me, they were worse than they look. :nervous2:

Hey guys; I wasn't going to post this here but I am honestly perplexed. I haven't had a complaint about paintwork in... well, never, and this one is shocking to say the least. The owner of this car: http://autopia.org/forum/click-brag/88962-10-days-lot-cars-attack-audis.html (SECOND ONE...

Hey guys; another fun one today. This time a 1971 Ferrari Daytona. I love the TR (like, love), but this Daytona is something else. I know it's an atypical Ferrari design, but it's one of my favorites. The car is in good mechanical shape, the paint had it's typical share of "stories" for a...

Heya. Thought I would post up some of the C&B's I had kickin' around. No particular order, just cars I've polished in the last 12 days. Lamborghini Gallardo, only 700km, dealer prep'd it rather poorly. The owner is sending it off to FLA in the winter for a twin turbo setup, anyway the paint...

Hey guys; been awhile since I posted a C&B. I have a bunch of cars but tight on time. I thought this one was worth a post though! This car was purchased with 800 miles on the clock and was a show car. It has 2000 miles now and the owner was going to have it appraised for insurance reasons, so...

My titles are starting to really suck. Interestingly the Honda was the most fun detail. Anyway, here goes. First up, 2003 360 Modena. I was originally asked to clean the engine, turned into a bit more. :D 106ff/white @ 1400 Zymol HD Cleanse Zymol Concours. I know, no outside shots...

This is a new Autopia member's car, it's ~6 months old and had, unfortunately, been washed improperly by the dealer and a local detail place. Aside from the pretty heavy swirling, there was some very deep, long, horizontal marring caused by a California Water Blade on the hood, rear deck, roof...

Hi gang - lots of details today, I apologize to anyone with a slow internet connection. :) I'll go in chronological order. The first of 8 Audi's, one of the tougher ones... a 2000 B5 S4, black of course. Overall condition was pretty rough and of course the paint is hard as a mutha. Process...

Hey guys - I am going to be purchasing a hoist in the near future. Honestly, I have very little info on them. I figured I'd ask here, since some of you probably have them. The space will be a 24x16 garage (very large one car, or tight two car), so I'd like it to be fairly low profile, so I can...

Hey guys. After 4 months (literally) of just spraying the car down with water, I decided to wash it. I was going to wait another couple weeks but my LSP (Z5pro, non-ZFX) finally decided it's had enough recently. No more slickness, no more wetness, just blah bare paint. I gotta give it up though...

Kind of cool one today - the car is great looking but it was especially neat being in the dealership. The dealership itself was having a grand opening, so this car was to be on the showroom floor, and the owner wanted it spiffy for show time. It was actually a little intimidating working there...

The topic says it all, slap me if this is a repost. :) I just want to get an idea of how far out you guys are typically booked this time of year.

Yo yo... some more spam for y'all! :D Chronologically this time: Lexus RX300; the owner was selling it. When I asked "What happened to it?" his wife said she got fed up with him not cleaning it, so she cleaned it with a broom. :woot: EC/OP via yellow @1600 Megs #80 Megs #26 Sorry...

Hey guys - I detailed this 2007 Infiniti G35 tonight. The car was in rough shape for it's age; likely due to a bad "hand wash" at another detail shop in the city. Overall the car came out ok; I was reasonably happy with it. However, the passenger side of the car exhibited some issues. Here are...
