I'm only half way done through this right now. But since I'm doing it 2 distinct stages I thought it would good enough to post up the first half here since it's been a little bit since I've posted up a good walkthrough here. First let me appoligize for the pics.. Today I oblerterated my Sony...

Sorry not going to be to pic heavy on this one. I just didn't have time to snap up a bunch. I've done this Ram before. Awhile ago. And I guess my customer lost my number and when I closed up my shop he couldn't find me right away (until he looked online again LOL) long story short he wanted a...

This one really pushed me here. I had the client come with some pretty big request. He bought it from a auction dealer and it really showed. First off he wanted the paint back in shape.... No easy task. I did get a reprieve from the back bumper as it was obviously repainted wrong and was flaking...

I have a friend on another forum that lives out by Hartford that is very piticuler about his car. it's a 2004 White Impala and he got a scratch in it that needs taken out . refused to even drive it for a week because of it. So you know the car is well cared for. If anyone can handle this and...

So I dropped my camera (sony A300) the other day. It was sitting on the bench and I went to grab it to snap up some pics and the strap caught the corner and ripped it right out of my hands before I knew what happened. Now it had this wierd buzzing sound when I turn it on and the most annoying...

I find myself with a rare day off due to a reschedule this morning so I figured I'd toss up a few recent details. As most detailers go this time of year I'm swamped down trying to get everything out as well. But I'm having a lot of fun. a new client of mine that keeps bringing me a lot of cars...

I'm sure we all have hack galore near us. But today I was at my local supplier picking up some more Carpet dye and we got into a conversation about all the other local shops around us and what they did day to day as business as normal and man I knew it was bad some of the things that came to...

Have you ever had a detail that you just knew was going to be a pain in the arse from the get go? I have no idea why the little 320 are so popular around here but this was the 3rd one I've done this season so far. All of them silver all them trashed. This one had about 285,000 mile on the click...

I've done this car before. A little over a year ago. The owner got ahold of me and wanted me to get it back in shape for him. When it came in I was really impressed with how good of shape it was still in. He said he wanted the paint to just "PoP" and the carpets to be clean. Give it a good...

haven't had the pleasure of detailing a scion before. and well frankly I laughed a little when it drove up my driveway.. LOL Looked like a little roller skate to me. A good repeat client of mine buys and sells cars all the time. And he just picked this one up off of Autotrader. Pretty sure it...

Well since we don't get a whole lot of interior work on here lately I figured what the heck. I had this come in today. Lot's of dirt to take care of. The leather was in very sad shape as well. My pic's don't do it justice. (bad lighting on the before pics) It's a 2000 buick Park ave and I don't...

Ugg... Just double checked and I don't have enough 105 left to do a car with and I have a paint correction coming in on Thursday. No time to order it offline and get it here on time. Any Place locally that sells in on the shelf like AutoZone or Advanced Auto etc etc?? I'm sure we have just about...

A client of mine just called me up and told me about this and was wondering if it was something I was using. Well of course this is yet another thing I've never heard of but it seems to be a neat product for lots of road rashed front ends. (My dad's RAM would benifit greatly from this sort of...

Had this one come in. He saw my website and thought I was what he was looking for to handle his 545i. It had some issues that needed delt with. One decent gouge in the back and then the fact that someone took a scrubbie of some sort to his hood. Interior was in decent shape. The leather really...

Ok so after reading some other recent post it seems like it's Nasty interior week or something. Now I've cleaned this Benz up before but it came in looking like it's never been cleaned. We're talking a foul smell that would turn a strong stomach. Leather so dirty I was really unsure the true...

So I overbooked yesterday because I honestly just had a vibe that the Mustang booked earlier in the week wasn't going to show. (she just happened to be an odd personality but very cool lady indeed) So I was a overwhelmed when both showed up. But I caught a lucky break with the Saab because the...

So I got contacted by a rep from Buff and Shine products to see if I could test out some of ther pads for them. I always like testing stuff out so I had to ask what was the pitch with these pads. I told him that I currently run the edge2000 system on one of my rotaries. He said perfect because...

Damn I'd drive it... For a sedan this thing looks hot.. But I've always loved the styling que's that porsche has. The â€ËœNo Substituteâ€â„¢ Sedan - MSN Autos

OK first off let me say this detail humbled me a bit. Certian things happened during it that really took me back and said "Holy... H*ll call me impressed!" And I will go more into detail about in another thread. That being said though I had this X3 show up in the morning desperatly begging to be...

After placing just a ton of new order's in the past couple of days it just got me thinking what's everyone else putting into their line up this season? Outside of a ton of new products (including 105/205 now) I finally added the Mequires D/A. Got it in a kit package through ADS. Figured I'd...
