A 2009 Maserati Granturismo came to me for a full corrective detail, as well as ceramic coating of the wheels and body using CQuartz. I previously detailed the owners last Maserati Quattroporte giving it the same treatment about a year ago. The Grigio Granito is a stunning color for this...

In a word, this car was a nightmare. After sitting in the corner of a body shop for nearly 14 months, the car suffered quite a bit of damage. Other factors contributed to the condition, but this sub 3k mile Spider looked aged in the least. After a total of 56 working hours removing layers and...

I recently corrected a Renntech Stage 4 Mercedes SL55 AMG in Magma Red, which is a rare color seen on this car. The Mercedes came in with some heavy marring and swirling that needed to be taken care of as well as touch up repair. Interior work was minimal as the car, being an 03, only had about...

This 2012 BMW M3 came in with just 206 miles on it, however, it suffered a dealership prep and was already marred and damaged. There were some surface scratches on the hood and quarters, and many rids and marring on the sides of the vehicle. The Competition wheels also needed some attention so...

A rare Lamborghini Diablo SV has come from our good friends up at Fabspeed Motorsports after they did some exhaust and tuning modifications. This bull is loud! The car came in fairly clean, but definitely showed some need for a proper correction and protection. The paint, while healthy, is...

This NSX was a new purchase to its owner when he brought it to me. The car suffered some rain spotting and severe swirling, marring and other defects. The previous owner worked at a dealership and clearly had it maintained in dealership style, although the car had low miles on it as a big plus...

I bring you a documentary of our most recent big project, this 2006 Spyker C8 Spyder is regularly maintained by me and stored in my facility from time to time for the private owner. I was invited, for the third consecutive year, to display my work at the Philadelphia International Auto Show. I...

Its been a great year with us, over 600 cars have come through the doors and some awesome and very different projects kept it all interesting. Figured it would be a fun idea to recap the year through pictures to show whats come through as well as some stats to show just how fascinating the year...

This project spanned quite some time and frankly its one of my personal prouder moments honestly. This 964 Porsche 911 Turbo in Royal Blue spent quite some time with me getting the brakes redone due to fading and a color change, some rusted parts refinished, new stainless steel brake lines...

Atlas Gray works so well, in my opinion, on the 997 Porsche GT3. This one in particular was quite a project for myself these past two weeks, with a lot of various different tasks completed on it. Some slight aggravation in a poorly installed, poor quality clear bra that needed to be removed, all...

An E90 M3 sedan equipped with the Competition Package came through for a full corrective detail, as well as ceramic coating for this new vehicle. The paint was by no means in bad shape, however it did have a nano coating applied by the dealer that needed to be removed and had some water spotting...

This project was a little different from the norm for me, which made it very cool. This Mercedes E55 AMG was purchased by it's owner while he was deployed overseas, sight unseen. After purchase he had the vehicle shipped straight to me so I could thoroughly check it over and prepare the car for...

Title says it all! We decided to have a last minute shoot with some new apparel I had developed after many requests... So what better way to show yoga pants with a few exotics as a back drop? The tank tops might need a shoot of their own soon :) Enjoy! Oakes

A Fabspeed 630hp Kit equipped, 997 911 Turbo in Basalt Black Metallic came through for a full corrective detail and clear bra removal. This beautiful car was unfortunately showing some signs of use in it's 16k mile life. Over the course of a few days we removed the front end clear bra that...

A 1998 Toyota Supra twin turbo 6 speed, in its Imperial Jade Mica green paint job - evidently 1 of 14 TT 6 speed Supras in existence with this color - came through for a much needed revival. As you can see in the photo above the paint is certainly faded and in desperate need of...

A Daytona Gray Audi R8 coupe recently came through for a full paint correction as well as full engine bay polishing, wheel/caliper treatment and a triple layering of Cquartz ceramic coating. The vehicle is clearly driven and the owner wanted the best protection possible for it once we got it...

Orange peel is common on almost all vehicles from the factory, some worse than others and more common on mass produced vehicles as opposed to specialty brands. In any case, it is not exactly a desired trait in vehicle paint. Many people live with it, some dread it much like myself and the owner...

This 1989 BMW M3 came in for a full restoration detail to get it ready for sale, with only 88k miles on it the car was fairly clean and in great shape. Our goal here was to make it look undriven and we'll let you be the judge! Alpine white is the perfect color for this iconic car! Car as it...

*** Pic Heavy *** Well, I had four GT-R's come through in the last week, and they've all needed quite a bit of paint work. As much as I'd love to make 4 seperate threads for each vehicle, I'm going to make one thread on the GT-R that needed my love the most. Don't worry, I'll provide a pic of...

Oakes Detail's Garage Build! We moved into our new permanent location here in West Chester, PA back in April of 2011 after searching the winter for a suitable, much larger space than our three car one in the south end of town. After crossing treacherous terrain, enduring harsh winters and...
