    Presidential Detailed: 2006 Honda Civic SI

    The owner of this car just picked it up a couple weeks ago and gave me a call. The overall condition of the car was pretty good and we just did a "basic" 1-stage polish on it. The car used to have a wind visor for the moon roof, but the owner took it off and it had left some pretty serious clear...

    First Time Onr User..

    Ive been hearing great things about Optimum No Rinse and had to give it a try myself. First thing I will say is WOW, I LOVE IT! I used three capfuls to about a half bucket of water, then fill a second bucket with plain water to rinse, I used a "grout sponge" I got for free from Autogeek which...

    This is the former S&R Racing car here in Tampa, a friend of mine picked the car up about a month or two ago and gave me a call to get it cleaned up for a show coming up. I must say, Ive seen the car before and was a little nervous with all the fiberglass molding and unsure condition of the...

    Presidential Detailed: Infiniti FX35

    This customer just bought the car recently and wanted to get it cleaned up a bit. The previous owner was a snowbird so it mostly sat, but the paint wasnt kept up too well, looked like multiple auto-washes,etc. So we set up the detail, and I spent a couple days to get it back in shape. It was...

    Presidential Detailed: 2002 Honda S2000

    This car provided a very good learning experience for me, the owner said it was in rough shape, and it was. I looked it over, noticed there was lots of swirling and the finish was kind of hazy. It had been sitting under a cover for nearly a year with no use. I figured it would be the run of the...

    Polishing over pin stripes?

    What is everyone doing for a car with pin stripes? I am working on a Infiniti FX45 that has them, and have not done a car with stripes yet. Do you guys normally tape them off? Or do you go over them, just very carefully? Im going to play it safe and tape them off i guess, until someone says...

    2 passes with M105/Wool, no luck...

    I am working on a 2002 Honda S2000. It is in pretty rough shape as far as swirling/RIDs. I have tried everything I have, M105/Wool pad being my most aggressive combination. Only problem is, even after two passes with M105/Wool there are still alot of RIDs that are not coming out. Honda paint is...

    This is a 2007 GPW S2k. The customer came to me with a beautifly clean car, just had a few swirls..so I thought ok easy job..ehh...Ended up having to use SIP/PFW to cut enough to get all of the swirling out of the car. I followed with PO5rd and the results were fantastic! The car absolutely...

    Presidential Detailed: 2001 Acura Integra Type-R

    This is my friend Angelo's 2000 Integra Type R, it needed A LOT of work. I do not think the car has been touched in a LONG time but the car always looked good, but it needed to be polished real bad. So Angelo finally let me do my magic and it turned out amazing! We went ahead and did a Full...

    This is a friend of mines car, he takes pretty good care of it and apparently Mini's have super hard paint bc this thing goes to hand car washes and hardly had ANY swirls in it! However it DID have a ton of fall out and other contaminants! I did a 1x3ft section on the roof with the clay and it...
