    New Image Auto Detailing: 2008 CLK63 AMG Black Series

    Haven’t posted much work on the forums lately, pretty much stick with just Facebook/Instagram for timesaving purposes. This Black Series belongs to my best customer. Been hard to find time to perform the correction but after it went to the dealership for some fixes I had to do it, as they...

    New Image Auto Detail: Mazda CX5 Opti-coated

    Haven’t posted up much work lately, been way too busy. Snapped some pics today, new Mazda CX5. Plan of attack was to remove the dealer installed swirls (not many to my surprise) and provide longevity in the protection via opti-coat. Coated wheels/paint/trim. I foamed the vehicle down...

    Updated the inside of my van

    So I’ve been slacking on posting any work lately, business is crazy busy. I have had my van for about 10 months and last weekend I decided to change up the inside to better accommodate my process. I use to have a 100-gallon tank, I didn’t like the way it looked and to be honest I do NOT need...

    Cleaning/protecting matte vinyl stripes?

    Afternoon gents, a customer contacted me about cleaning up his matte vinyl stripes on his new Mustang. He took it to a local place and they used their random orbitals on it to apply wax, but didn't tape off the stripes and now they are discolored. I'm going to take a look at it this week, but...

    New Image Van Build

    Well last year we acquired a 2003 GMC Savana for a new dedicated work vehicle. Van was in pretty decent shape, given the fact that work vans get destroyed in most situations. Here’s a list of the main work that we’ve done thus far to the van. All the work has been done by us. - Full paint...

    New Image Auto Detailing: 2006 Tundra

    Cleaned up a Tundra for a repeat customer today. He was concerned about the amount of gloss and lack of protection. Upon arrival it was clear that the paint was pretty oxidized. Time and customer budget only allowed for a 1-step correction to remove the oxidation and restore the gloss. Sorry...

    New Image Auto Detailing: Ram 3500

    Cleaned up a massive Dodge for my customer as a future gift to his son. Interior was in good shape as it has been sitting in storage for a while. Since it was “detailed” in Miami before getting shipped here the outside was a little rough. Paint was compounded with D300 and a MF cutting pad...

    Some customers just don't get it (pics).....

    I recently worked on a Mercedes for a new customer. Car was destroyed and the guy wanted it to look its best so he can sell it. I spent 7 hours on it between polishing and interior, I could have spent 7 more. When he heard my price (which was a discount) he was shocked. When he came to pick the...
