    Today I met my kryptonite; have some questions

    I always knew this day would come, but *when* was more of the blind factor to me. Today, one of my best customers had me come in to detail a '93 Buick Century he bought from a customer for pennies and wants to turn it around to sell. The car was the epitome of haggard. The exterior had...

    1997 Acura Integra GSR - Grenada Black Pearl

    I completed this one a couple days ago but have been too busy to post the results. This car came to me with a very fair share of swirls, holograms, and overall dullness. I stepped into her pretty hard as she will be sold within the month. The owner wanted the swirls gone and it to look as...

    Volvo S40, Nissan Altima, Nissan Pathfinder, and a l0an3r

    First up, the Volvo S40. This vehicle belongs to a classmate/friend of mine. I washed it a couple months ago and noticed it certainly needed a detail after winter. There was a fair share of swirling and a TON of bonded contaminants. I'm not sure how all of the grit latched on but I chewed...

    Reviewed: Zaino Z5 Pro

    Yep, no joking around here, this is the stuff... I was able to rip two ounces from a Zaino tester’s vice grip. It was not easy which is why I cannot give up the tester's name (he will kill me :)). Anyways, I set out to try the Z on everything I could, prior to the IPO. To the best...

    Paint code for B7 Audi A4 wheel?

    These are not the actual wheels, but the exact style/color. They have a couple minor abrasions on them that I'd rather touch up and wetsand (for a customer) than hit them with $50+ in materials alone as shown by the link below. http://www.autogeek.net/wurth-wheel-kit.html If anyone...

    2003 Redrock Pearl Honda Pilot Detailed

    Up for detail today was a 2003 Honda Pilot in a beautiful Redrock Pearl color. The owner found me on the forums drove about 90 minutes to have the work performed. The vehicle was reasonably dirty with a decent amount of swirls, but the biggest area of hurt was the plethora of fallout on the...
