    What type of finish can you expect on a $200,000+ car?

    I normally wouldn't call out a dealership for their lack of detailing prowess. I have handled several vehicles for customers after a dealership failed to satisfy on multiple attempts. One was even a salesman at said dealership. But when a dealership specializes in nothing but high end cars...

    Overkill? The undesired project

    Trim restorer/dressing showdown

    ValuGard ETR vs. GTechniq C4 vs. BlackWOW vs. Forever Black vs. Opti-Coat vs. Ultima Tire & Trim Guard vs. CarPro Perl vs. Meguiar's Hyper Dressing. Okay. I know those aren't really all in the same category but I decided to just round out the field to compare looks, durability, ease of use...

    It's all about the details

    There is so much focus on the polishing of paint that I feel other aspects of detailing get downplayed. It is apparent by the numerous posts with questions about polishing that it appears to be an overwhelming and daunting task to achieve perfect paint. But detailing is about, well… the...

    Ferrari F355 GTS - Nth Degree Auto Detailing

    This write up has been a long time coming. This detail was almost a year ago. After a hard drive crash and then getting married, all on top of normal day to day life, I haven’t had much time to do write ups. The owner of this car had purchased it about six months prior. He knew...

    What is the thinnest factory paint you've found? (for those with a PTG)

    I seem to be cursed recently with facing really thin paints but a recent Mini Cooper S had me dumbfounded. 1.9-2.1 mils over most of the car. Hood was a little thicker at 2.6-3.0. Car is less than a year old. I'm sure some have found where someone has thinned the paint so please limit...

    Going All-In

    Or I guess I should say taking it all out. A bit of advice: when someone tells you they feel like they are going to :vomit: STOP THE CAR! No matter how many times they have said it in the past to make you think they are exaggerating.

    Your smart phone camera may be about to become a more valuable tool

    I have read where people have made their own microscopes for their phone, but it looks like it is going to be much easier. From my local news website: "If you talk to any serious photographer, they’ll likely tell you it’s the lenses that really make a difference when taking a good photo. So in...
