Hola. Long day of haggling with car dealers, thought I'd post some pics to help unwind. First up, a 2003 spa yellow Acura NSX. Condition was moderate swirling and heavy road tar, otherwise nothing really major. The owner uses it as a daily driver. Wash with Z7 Clay Hood got EC/OP @1500...

Hey guys. I will start with the rough G. The car is an '03 with 78k km on it. The owner bought it at 72k km and at the time wasn't really aware of what issues to look for on paint. His description of it leads me to believe the dealer may have glazed it heavily before delivery. In any event the...

First up, '06 Sprint Blue S4; good condition overall, light swirls. ONR, Clay, Hi-temp Medium Cut, EX-P buffed off with OCW:CJ. '04 Brilliant Silver G35, moderate swirling. ONR, clay, Menz IP/orange, FII/white, Prime Strong, AJ. Only outside pic is one the owner sent me...

Hey guys; I went out to an appointment today not sure what kind of car I'd be detailing - the client was by referral so I just had a date/time and an address. When I pulled up I saw this beat up old Nissan Pathfinder; lucky that wasn't the car I was doing. As we walked around to the garage I saw...

Hola. Interesting week so far; a couple of straightforward details then a nice long one on a G35. Here they come. Chrysler 300C SRT8; this care has under 1000km, so it only had light scratches from dealer prep and a mishap with a wifes purse (:D), really cool paint color and very easy to work...

Hey everyone; just thought I'd post this because the car is so bitchin'. This is the owner of cudaworld.com's restoration project; going on 2.5 years now if I am not mistaken. He contacted me about 3 months ago letting me know that the car was coming out of paint and he wanted to have me out in...

Hey everyone. It's a rainy (read: pouring rain all day) day, so I thought I'd pst my last couple non-"Wash & Wax" details. First up, Infiniti FX45. Owner is very particular about the paint; washes it every day (even in the winter); as a result it had some reasonably deep marring. Nice guy...

Hey folks; today I was visited by forum member SkeptiKal who has a 2002 NBP RSX-S. Since Nik knows a thing or three about detailing the car was already in good shape, he brought it to me with questions about a couple issues. I think most of them were addressed but there was one that left me...

Hey guys. This is an '05 black Infiniti G35. The paint was probably in the worst condition I'd seen since moving to Toronto. The owner is a very nice guy but hadn't really put a ton of thought into car care until recently. He mentioned that he has it washed at "a local place" which I think means...

Hey everyone; first "click n brag" in awhile; been super busy. I often wonder if other detailers notice as time goes by you get less and less "long" details (multiple polishing steps, 6+ hours) and get more and more "maintenance wash & waxes", seems like 5 of the 6 days a week I work now are...

Hi everyone; hope it was a good holiday weekend/week for you all. I spent it in lovely Vermont at our families cabin. It was deck building time, but regardless it's always nice to get away to a place that lets you recharge. Now that I am back it's back to work. First up is a Yamaha...

So I've never done a product review on Autopia mostly because there are a number of members who do very good reviews and because I hate gushing about products. I am intimately acquainted with how Autopia can cause you to want to try "the next best thing" over and over and over. I am also aware...

I'd like to title this entry "the week of fixing screw ups". Onward. First is a 1996 Acura NSX, this one was straightforward, swirls were moderate and the paint was looking a bit pinkish/dull. Two polishing steps, some touchups, win. Process: Wash with Megs Deep Crystal Clay Menzerna...

This is going to be pic intensive. Why? Why not? :) Tuesdays are the start of the week for me, and usually that means a tough couple of details. Today, not so much; it's always fun to work on exotics and in this case the owner actually takes good care of it. It's never been polished so there...

Like the title says, 1999 Lincoln LS, 200,000km. This is easily the toughest detail I've had since I've been in Toronto. When the owner contacted me he said "it was pretty bad", which was true. I had 6 hours; the detail was a present for his g/f (who is the actual owner of the car). He was...

Hey hey. The contestant today is a sebring silver NSX. I'm spacing on the year. I'd guess 94ish. Condition was pretty swirly, not hideous, and of course silver loves to hide it. There were a couple of scuffs on the rear quarters and a pretty sizeable touchup job on the passenger side rear...

Hi everyone; nothing super exciting in this update. A full detail on a beat up RX300, a quick polish on an SL600, G35, and a stang and a 928 interior detail. Here goes. 1998 Lexus RX300. Pretty bad swirling, a couple re-painted areas with a lot of overspray, some deep scratches from use, and...

I was asked by someone for a reco in Las Vegas, so I searched the forum expecting to find at least a few members from the city or surrounding area. To my surprise I turned up nothing. I know you're out there - this guy needs help with a black G35. Cheers.

Hi everyone. Today was a lot of work, but a lot of fun. Something about working on a car you totally lust after that makes the day seem effortless (despite a lot of effort!) The car is a 2001 Ferrari Maranello 550 (5.5L 485hp/419tq V12) in pozzi blue; the car has about 10,000km and the paint...

Hey everyone. I did another NSX yesterday and overall the condition of the car was good for it's age. Moderate swirls, some light scratches on the horizontal panels and hood; surprisingly few stone chips. I was able to get all the swirling and most of the deeper marring (some of it remained on...
