These are out of order, I'm just going alphabetically. :) Today was a rain out, so it's C&B time! 2006 Audi A4 (yes, A4); outside, inside, engine. Not a lot of marring, some deep stuff and typical black swirls. Hard paint. Hi Temp HC/OP via orange @1500 106ff black @ 1200 Z5pro Souveran...

Hey guys - another stout daily driver today. Kind of weird to have two relatively "old" cars in a row. This one is owned by one of the people in my building. She's the only one that never said "mine next", she just had me do it one day. Good for her, I say. Car is a Mercedes 190E, couple...

Hi guys - I do a lot of detailing in an underground area I have, which is nice since it is heated, has access to electricity, water, etc. The real problem is the lighting. The entire area is lit by florescent bulbs, which are good for detecting paint problems, but absolutely hideous for interior...

Been awhile since I posted a C&B, busy, you know how that goes. I am working on the pics now so more in a bit, but I thought I'd post this for you to chew on. Pretty, no?

Hey guys, I cleaned a mini cooper-s this weekend and it came out really well except for one thing. The previous owner had put some tires in the car and there were stains from the tires on the leather; you could see the treads of the tires. The stains were brownish on the black leather, so I sort...

Hey everyone; just a couple today. First up is a C5 Z06, the pics will speak for themselves. Process: Wash, clay HT EC/OP via yellow @1500 HT HC via orange @ 1400 IP via white @1300 Z5pro Nattys Blue (I had time. :) ). Ya, IP finished down clean. In fact I tried 106FF first as...

Well, the 2 week old car got it's first dent/paint transfer/scratches; lady at a grocery store. I took care of the paint transfer and scratches but would like the dent removed. Does anyone have a PDR guy they love? Cheers.

Hey everyone, hope you all have a safe & happy New Year's Eve, and a good 2007. :) Finished my last detail of the year today, so here are the last few. Dodge Ram SRT-10, the owner works for a dealership and contacted me because he "didn't want to let [his] in house detail guys work on it". :D...

Hey everyone, off for the holidays so time to post up the recent details. Hope everyone is enjoying their holiday weekend! I'll start with my new car. I traded in the G35, it was sad to see it go but that's life. I am sure some dealer is swirling it up as we speak. (I should mention that I...

Hey guys, here's the story. I am going to pretty much lay it out verbatim. So as a detailer I see a lot of cars, obviously - as such I see a lot of tint and clear bras, and I get a lot of questions about them (mostly: who do I go to?). So through the course of this year I noticed one...

So I detailed this V8 Vantage the other day; only has ~700km or so on it, it's an '07 but the owner has a convertible on order so away it goes. I did this same car awhile back, it came from the dealer like this: Not that I condone this sort of abuse (obviously), but having worked on the...

Have fun loading this one! '94 Camaro Z28 (you can read more about what's in it here: http://fernandes.gary.googlepages.com/), all I know is it's blown and it's quick. Owner wanted it show-ready. I spent a really long time on this car, I don't miss it! :) He's put wheels and vinyls on since...

Hey guys; this might be a repost but this is a pretty darn good deal if you can get in on it. Under $14 CAD for a tin of #16. I just bought 5. :) Product ID: M1611 Product Name: RARE! Meguiar's #16 Professional Paste Wax (SALE) Quantity: 5 Unit Price: Cdn$13.65 !!!

Hey everyone - normally I post a whole whack of cars but I was really happy with the way this one turned out. As I am sure a lot of you guys who do this daily know, you generally get to a point where you have expectations, the result meets them, and you move on. On this car the results exceeded...

I'm sure this has been brought up before, but a kind of funny series of events has led me to want to see what the "Autopian consensus" is when it comes to the actual tool you use to wash cars. I recently replied to a thread on another forum regarding boars hair brushes, saying that while many...

Hey guys - been awhile, busy; you know how that goes. I've felt bad because I haven't been commenting/contributing to Autopia lately, just been so busy with work, company... Nov-April I do my yuppy-corporate-world-computer-engineering job, so between that and details, well, ya. Anyway, here...

Hey everyone. Busy week last week; but now it's vacation time. Here they come! First up, DG G35. Condition was good for the age and KM ('03, 50k km). Had to do a little wetsanding from a parking scuff, but otherwise it was straightfoward. Got a little arty with the pics at the owners request...

Hey everyone. Been piling up c&b's lately but this one deserves it's own, not only because it's a cool car, but the condition it was in when I arrived was :eek: Story is that the current owner bought it recently, it's in wonderful mechanical shape, body is in great shape and the paint is...

Yo. Been a week or so since I posted, though I would since two of these cars had the hardest paint I have ever dealt with (and that's not me being dramatic, either). First up, the SL600 that can't catch a break. I've polished it twice this year (first time lightly), second time a little more...

Sorry 56k'ers. :sign I'll start with the main event since it's the most fun. 1995 VW Corrado, it's got ~150k on the clock and has been stored for something like 6 years. The owner is finally resurrecting it and I got the call to get it back in shape. Condition was poor; heavy swirling, lots...
