First up was an '02 Mercedes ML500. Good shape considering the age and odometer (2002/100km+). The only tough part were some really rock solid salt stains on the interior carpets. Wash (Megs deep crystal) OP/OC 50/50 mix via white Clearkote RMG .... Meg's NXT! Why the glaze and NXT...

Hi - today was a black Audi Allroad, the owner let me know ahead of time it was in rough shape from trips up North. I decided to try out my rotary skills for the first time in almost 3 years on this one. Thanks to Simon (aka tumbler) for his help last weekend re-aquainting me with it. Not...

Gonna be a picture heavy post guys. Another black G35, this time an '03 sedan with 141k on it. The owner just bought it, took delivery on Tuesday and dropped it off here 2 hours later. He basically said "DO whatever it takes, I'll pay by the hour". He says he is going to mod it heavily so...

Hey everyone. I am working on a black G35 (what else?) that the customer just picked up from the dealership. When he dropped it off the overall condition was not good, but not hideous. As far as the customer knew it was original paint - it looked original to me. I decided to set out first...

Ideas? I can't seem to find any. Thanks.

Heya everyone - story on this car is that the driver side was repainted due to an accident. Both doors, rear fender, rear bumper, trunk, and blended into the roof. As a lot of you know factory Audi paint is pretty hard, comically the re-paint was butter soft (I mean really, really soft), so it...

Hola. Starting with an anthracite Acura TL - very nice color. The car was in ok shape overall, some swirling and soiled interior, but the main issue was a long scratch/scuff on the entire passenger side. I guess there was an incident with a lane change. I was initially unsure how it would...

Hey everyone. Some of us GTA folks had a "PC training-day/meet & shine" meet yesterday where I was to detail an '04 coupe from the ground up and let everyone throw questions at me. It turned out really nice, the weather was great, turn out was awesome - the actual detail, well read on! So...

Title says it all guys. I've been working with my 9227C and want to expand my pad collection. I've searched and it seems there's varying opinions on whether to go with a smaller platepads or larger plate/pads. DOes anyone has experience with this rotary that can give advice on the backing...

Hey everyone, going to be a picture filled post of fun, light on the explaination because I am le tired. If you see the sun let me know, since I haven't been able to get pics with it in like a week. :/ First up, 2005 Lakeshore Slate G35 sedan. Very cool color, looks really dark in the shade...

Hey everyone. Been keeping busy - here are the details from Monday/Tuesday. I did one more on a Protege5 but the owner wouldn't let me take pics? Oh well. 2004 black G35 coupe. Overall the paint was pretty swirled and the clay took off a lot of junk, one or two rock chips but nothing major...

Hey guys - I was doing an interior job on a car with a customer interior today. The carpets are this really low fine pile job that's almost like velvet. They're light colored (like an off white) and were really soiled. I used the regular woolite:water mix and it didn't really accomplish much, so...

Hey guys. I posted this at a G35 forum I frequent because I got a lot of questions about chip repair back when I did a really heavy chip repair session on my car (some of you may remember it from last year.). I thought I'd post here too just for future reference, and because I finally got around...

Hey guys - I don't have pics of this yet but I can give you a good description of what I'm talking about. Others may have seen this. The car is a 1990 black M3. I've managed to get the paint in almost perfect shape aside from one issue... As many of you know when a car is egged you'll often...

Hi everyone - so my sister is selling her car a 2000 Civic Si, 161,000km (Before the Americans in the joint flip, in Canada your Si is our SiR, and this is our Si). It's the 160hp 2.0l Vtec engine from the SiR. I swear the altezzas were on it when she bought it; the sticker...well I have no...

Infiniti today unveiled a dramatic new concept vehicle, the Infiniti Coupe Concept, at the 2006 North American International Auto Show. Infiniti also showed the new 2006 FX luxury crossover SUV, which has been refined with exterior and interior enhancements and greater differentiation between...

Hey folks. So I ran out of QEW that I brought over when I moved, and now I can't find any online or locally (Toronto). I searched Protect All's website and there are no local retailers. Any ideas?

Hey everyone - been awhile since I had to start a thread but search came up relatively empty on this one. As some of you may know I've spent a lot of time restoring the paint on my car, and overall I am very happy with the results. One area that's left me frustrated, however, is my chrome trim...

My sister was in town so I decided to work on her car a little. Rotated the tires and cleaned the underside of the car, insides of the rims, wheel wells, etc. They all got 303. After that I put it down and got to work on the paint. The before pics were from her camera phone so they aren't the...

Hey folks, I'm having some trouble on a car I'm working on for a neighbor (1996 Audi A6, red). She took it in to her dealer to get the rear bumper re-painted. They did that then "detailed" the car with a rotary. It now has some of the worst holograms I've ever seen. I'll get some pictures as...
