    Single stage vs. Base & clear

    The car I drive (2000 Civic Sedan) needs a new hood and front bumper. I'm sourcing a urethane (no ABS this time) bumper and a Keystone Premium+ hood. The car will be seeing it's regular highway driving, and this season some track use, so I'm wondering if I should just go with single stage paint...

    This isn't really a detail, but more-so some pictures to brighten your day! Car received a wash, spot clay, and 2 coats of opti-seal over 24 hours. Tires received Opti-Bond. I will be doing a full correction detail on this car very soon as well as some installs alongside the owner. Enjoy!

    Need some help please!

    Hi everyone. I need some help with these rims. They belong to a race team I sponsor. They race with Hawk Blue race pads, which give off a corrosive brake dust. The dust was left to sit for too long, and it started to rust and bonded to the rim. I'm not familiar in dealing with this, so I...

    Why parents drink...

    A father passing by his son's bedroom was astonished to see that his bed was nicely made and everything was picked up. Then he saw an envelope, propped up prominently on the pillow that was addressed to 'Dad.' With the worst premonition he opened the envelope with trembling hands and read the...

    Tire *sealant*

    Hi everyone. This season I had the pleasure of sponsoring a race team by detailing their cars before each event. One of the cars had Hawk Blues, which is a racing pad that yields a highly corrosive brake dust. For the new year, I'm developing a package to prepare rims for this sort of use by...

    Make It Shine: Trashed SiR brought back to life

    Hi everyone! This car belongs to my designer, and a very good friend. He's done my logo and business cards, and will be doing some other work for me too in the future. He's put in extra hours on many occasions to make sure everything is done well, so I wanted to return the same regard in...

    Optimum Opti-Bond users....

    Has anyone tried mixing this product with water and using it in a spray bottle? The instructions mention using a compressor with an HVLP gun, but I wondered about the possibility of diluting this product with water and using it in a regular spray bottle, or a bottle used for spraying petro-based...

    This was a freebie for a very good friend of mine. This is Mazda Protege5 with a Mazdaspeed front end.
