This was a labor of love. I'm getting the turbo model coming out this fall, I have my name on 6 dealers lists, the first one who will sell it at sticker, gets my check. HP goes up to 250 from 170 on the standard model. it will be a nice fun weekend car, I figure I should spend some of my money...

Just in cse you think I only work on exotics, take a look at this mess. People like this should not even have a drivers license. If I get one car a year like this, its one too many. I used magic on this one to clean it up, came out better than expected.

This is some car, rare Buick GNX, this one happens to be #108 out of only 500 made. Its a 1986 (I think) and it only has 10,000 miles. The reason I got the car is because last year the owner got caught in a acid rain storm, and didn't bother to wipe it down, so the water spots on the top, roof...

I will admitt, I;m spoiled, doing so many luxsury and exotic cars, yesterday I got the mini van from hell. This was a night mare. the carpet had every type of stain you could imagion. When I took out the seats, the floor brackets that hold seats in place had a complete menu of items from every...

This was an on site detail I did at the owners house. Did a reapplication of my paint seal on the black Ferrari and a first time application on the red spider. Must be nice to have 2 Ferrari's stacked in your garage. sorry about the lighting, kind of poor.

I detailed this Viper and had to pick it up, my first experince driving one. Only thing positive I can say about it is that its FAST. More noise and rattles than you would expect, shakes like a washing machine. nice to look at though.

Lately I have had a few customers tell me the dealer is giving them a 5 year warrenty on their paint sealant. also saying they don't have to do anything to the finish for that amount of time. Either their is some super product out there I don't know about, or they are spreading false info. I...

Been pretty busy lately so I haven't been here much, (but thats good right?) people have have pm'd me asking about my market stradigy, seeing I have tried sveral news things. My detailing clinics are taking off, great turnouts and response, I get paid average of $200 fo an hour and a half...

My seminars are going quite well so far this year, and what happened last week tells me I'm going in the right direction. After my presentation I had a guy come up to me and said he was impressed with my talk. So much so that he wanted me to detail all his cars. (OK, I'm thinking his car and...

At one my seminars last night I had a person ask me how to touch up white walls that are fading, I didn't have the answer so I told him I would get back to him. feedback from fellow professionals would be appreciated. Thanks, Gary p.s. I don't think show polish is the answer.

I was the guest speaker over the weekend at a local car club, they had about 75 people attend. I talked about 45 minutes on car care. I brought some of my products, and sold about $400 worth of supplies. I sold out of micro fiber towels. if you are still thinking about selling supplies, go for...

I hate to see cars that got keyed, but it happens. This is a job I got in yesterday. The scratch is about 7" long. First thing I did was wet sand it with 3000/ then 2000, then 1500. I buffed with the high speed using wool, and med cut. Switched to foam yellow fine cut, final with green...

I haven't used this product but I hear some positive buzz on some forums, anyone known good/bad or ???? about glass. I thought it was old techology, maybe I'm wrong. gary

I have been told that I'm somewhat of a marketing guru, so I guess this should not be a suprise. Over the weekend my local chamber had a Expo where local business's come and set up booths to promote their business. Perfect Auto Finish proudly had a nice display with a drawing. I had a fishbowl...

This was a challenge,customer wanted me to remove his painted on pin stripe. as you can see it was a mess. had to dissolve the pin stripe without harming the exsisting paint. once I did that, it was time to wet sand, and buff. Buffing a job like this requires skill, by this time, the clear...

This job was a trip, I was contracted to detail several cars for Lexus, at a private showing which featured some new models, plus this exclusive one of a kind car. it was designed by Sir Paul and he signed the door as well. The signature was digitially scanned and put into the seats. (the seats...

The other day I got into a discussion with the service manager at the dealership I do some work for. They had me do a paint seal on a used car, (normally I do new cars) the car was in great need of a complete detail prior to doing the paint seal. The service manager said, I can't pay you to do...
