Don't you hate when customers continually reschedule? First Wednesday, then thursday, and now the nicest day of the month, he calls again, "I can't get it started, it worked fine and everything last night, but I can't get it started". I didn't tell him anything, just sat there...

Worked on a supercharged SC400 today. History of the paint, about 2 years old, with " over 70 hours of wetsanding". I somehow doubt it, but it does look pretty flat. :) Paint job itself is rather funny, way too soft, and was burnt rather badly in some places. Oh well. Exterior got...

Well maybe not, but it does look like there is no HOOD there. :LOLOL

I need some help. What can I use to get rid of old adheasive residue off of the interior of a S10? Its from a crappy faux wood grain kit. The owner wants it gone.

I worked on a VERY LARGE 1981 Buick Park Ave. today, and I must say, pheuu! Man that was a long job. The interior didn't turn out to be picture worthy, it really needs a recarpeting job. Exterior was a "fun" job to say the least, with horrendous swirls, and it was a chore compared to most...

Worked on a buddies Lexus IS300 today. I used collonite's IW again, and it looks wicked. The paint had horrible swirls for a silver car, and even SSR3 wouldn't remove all of them!!!!!! Though I thought he'd rather have a clear coat, than a totally swirl free car. :LOLOL Processess...

Please read my review on the wax I used as I type out my pictures and processes: http://autopia.org/forum/showthread.php?t=61261 Update** Worked on a corvette today, in horrible shape, and was recently hauled in from Florida. Processes: Wash Clay SSR 2.5 on Rotary at 1500 RPM's...

I recently recieved a sample, as well as a request for a review of the product at hand. At first glance, the product is incased in a normal looking bottle, and doesn't stand out. Its somewhat hard to dispense the product onto your applicator pad due to no dispenser top, only a locking spin...

I thought I'd make a post of the new dressing I got from Auto Magic. Its called "Dress it Right". Its water based, and dirt just washed right off, without any staining. It drys to the touch, and has no fling. Very nice product, abit a little expensive. :) Here it is on the buick's new...

I detailed a freshly imported MR2 today, and it was a pretty nice car. It really needs a repaint, as some swirls weren't removable. The car was brought in for a girls 18th birthday. Some birthday gift. :furious: Oh well, processes: Wash Clay Automagic XP Swirl Remover on black...

I headed out with a friend after detailing his car for a couple photoshoots. I took some pictures of the scenery also, since I'm starting to get tired of the cars. We went around to some different locations in the forks/exchange district, and I thought they turned out pretty cool. Here they...

...I didn't find any! I thought this picture turned out pretty cool.

Went into a detailing supply store to browse, and ended up with over 2 years worth of product and a bill for 400 bucks. Hmmm... I got some Automagic: Wet Wax, magic glaze, XP COMPOUND, XP POLISH, XP xpress wax, Dress-it Right water based dressing. As well as 2 of each of the following...

I just spent $80 to fill up the blazer with premium. Its close to 1.159/liter, which is close to what 5 dollars per gallon? I found that pretty crazy. I could feel the screw job on the backside today. :(

of mine anyways... Well, I've been working on old run down cars for so long, I've forgotten whats it like to work on a relativly new vehicle. Today I got my chance with this 2005 Dodge Dakota, with close to 15,000km on it. I'm not saying it was perfect, it had its fair share of swirls and...

Just finished up the other caddy. A full exterior and quick interior wipe down. Its a 2004, but already has close to 64,000 km on it! Paint was in pretty hazy condition, but in relative decent shape. I actually enjoyed working on this one, and that doesn't come around very often. It was...

Did my dad's boss' STS today. I have his wife's CTS tomorrrow, and a 30 dollar tip. Anyways, I tried out a new topper, and am VERY impressed. Went on smooth, and off even easier. I'm going to get you guys to guess as to what it is. As far as the car goes, the paint was the hardest job...

I had a friend of mine work up a little sample pages of my new site. http://carcare.chromenight.com/ I'm just wondering how to post my before/after pictures? And an example of a mission statement for the home page. Opinions on the little pictures there as well. Some opinions ASAP...

Recieved the car yesterday after the Lexus, and set to work washing, claying, and detarring. I was happy that the hard part was over, as it was covered in oilly mud and bugs from a trip to Ottawa (3000km?). This was a full detail. Before: No before shots of the engine bay.
