This one came to me from a painter that had done some fence staining in a new housing developement. He talked with the owner of the car, told her what day he would be there and asked her not to park the car outside as it would get overspray on it. Sure enough the owner went out of town and left...

This came from a return customer. Great guy that was kind enough to bring some of his homemade brew when he dropped off the car. Deeeeelish!! The car had the normal, dealer induced, swirling as well as a rock chip in the hood. I took "before" pics of the chip but forgot to take "afters". I...

A buddy of mine just told me about his father in laws truck that he wants detailed. I told him "no prob...just have him call me". Then he drops the bomb on me as to what the truck is. 1955 Cevrolet 3100 Stepside truck. Original paint, motor and owner. Apparently it's been sitting in the...

Got a call about this one from a very nice couple. They said they were going to sell it and wanted it cleaned up. It was in pretty good shape aside from the normal swilrs and a few very stubborn water spot areas. I tried SIP w/orange CCS and it barely touched them. I tried Megs 105 with...

Been a little bit since I have posted. All the rain here in Sacramento has put a damper on business...:grrr This one came to me over the holiday season. I was at a party at his house and we were talking about cars and what not. I told him that I detailed and it went from there. When all the...

I took my FLEX 3401 in to get the power cord replaced and the bearings greased around the holidays. Took it to a place here in Sacramento called "Cut-It". I had used it for two years and never done anything to it other than pulling that casing apart and blowing all the dust and debris out from...

I thought there wasn't going to be much to this one until I got it washed and under the halogens. WOW! For a brand new car it was pretty bad! It took me a while to figure out the pad/polish combo. Started out with an orange CCS/SIP. It wasn't fully correcting the paint and was being a PITA...

I did this guys wife's minivan a couple weeks ago. He orignally contacted me to see about his Ferrari but the scheduling didn't work out. When they picked up the minivan he asked booked the BMW and I have been looking forward to it ever since. They dropped it off Friday night and the...

Hey guys! I have worked on this car a couple times this year. Originally detailed the whole things earlier in the year, have added a few coats of wax after washing it for him and most recently cleaned it all up, including a two hour engine detail, for a commercial for Blue Cross. He told...

This guy contacted me through my review on Yelp.com. He is in the coast guard and wanted his car cleaned up before he headed out for a while. The paint was pretty swirled but corrected pretty easily. He has a clear bra on the front so I wasn't able to do anything with that. He mentioned that...

Does anyone have any comparison thoughts on these two pads? I have used the low profile ones for a while now but it's time to replace them. I have tried the CCS pads and they are ok.....but not great. Thanks in advance for any help I ca get on this!

This one belongs to the guy that I do the 55 Chevy for. He wanted it cleaned up for winter and was gonna be out of town so it gave me a few days to work on it. Paint was pretty swirled, interior was fine and the rims were water spotted. Process: Pre-soak rims w/P21 Pre-saok tires w/Megs...

This one came to me from the mom of the black Accord I just did. The kid that owns the Accord continues to impress me everytime I see him. He's such a great guy and I was very excited to take care of his mom's car! I was hoping to get the chance to meet her but I got the car done the same day...

I did this Accord in August of '08. The owner is a really great guy and I was really looking forward to seeing him again and taking care of his car. He had contacted me to do just an interior only on the car but changed his mind and just told me to do whatever the car needed. Turns out it really...

This customer lives near Sacramento in Elk Grove where they have the hardest water in the world!! It's horrible out there for people who care about their cars. He brought the car to me, to see if there was anything that could be done, and I clayed and polished a spot and all it did was make the...

This one was in pretty "normal" shape as far as swirls and what not. Nothing too weird on this one. The interior was leather but normal. It was our first weekend with temps in the 70's and it was a pretty easy detail....all in all a great weekend!! Process: Wash w/ Dawn Clay Polish w/ SIP...
