Recently was contacted by a new client interested in improving the condition of his 2015 Toyota Tacoma. He brought it by the shop for an evaluation and I found the paint was really not looking its best. The truck was red with widespread swirl marks and for my seinfeld fans out there "a pinkish...

Got the call a few months ago to correct a Porsche Boxster which proved to be quite a battle so figured I would share some photos. The owner had recently picked up the car and knew it was in poor condition to say the least. Swirls, deep random scratches and overall dull finish. We agreed to a...

Recently had a Mini Cooper Hardtop booked for a 2 step paint correction. Was not a 100% turnaround but some pretty decent photos. Figured I'd share Correction done with Griots Boss & GG6 polishers along with the PC (6in, 5in and 3in pads respectively) Megs MF pads + Shine Supply Classic Cut...

Recently was contacted concerning a 2013 WRX that was in need of attention. The owner wanted his currently swirly paint to look as good as possible with a pro coating to offer protection going forward. After discussion some options, we agreed to a multi step paint correction followed by...

Recently got a call to work on a rare 1996 Corvette Grand Sport. Client was interested in paint correction and a protective coating. Given the age of the car it was best to first do an inspection at my shop under the LED lights. Upon inspection it was swirled up, but not butchered. The owner...

Recently was contacted about a BMW 335i that needed some help. The owner had been studying abroad, while his mother left the car parked outside. Just so happened to be where the sprinklers could saturate the car EVERYDAY. What was left was a complete mess. When it arrived, it was a hazy mess...

Client of mine recently picked up a Hyundai Genesis and told me over the phone that it needed some work. We did an initial inspection under the LED lights and it was a mess. We're not certain but the belief is the car was repainted before being sold used, and the shop did a terrible job...

Recently was booked for a correction and Opti-Coat Pro application on a new Tesla Model S. The dealer was instructed by the client not to wash or wax the car. When the vehicle arrived it had about 100 miles on the clock. Doesn't get much newer than that. The car was black so I figured any...

New client contacted me about his Jaguar XKR which had seen better days. He stopped by one afternoon for an estimate and it was just covered in swirls. We looked things over under my LED lights, took some paint measurements, and discussed some options. He told me he was pretty sure he was in...

New client came to me with his nearly brand new 2014 Dodge Charger. Still with temporary tags in place, the dealership had 'detailed' the car for him and well, you know the story. Possibly one of the worst hack jobs I've seen. They spared the trim (usually also part of the destruction) but...

New client contacted me regarding his black VW Passat. It was his baby, but had seen some tough times and had noticeable swirls in the paint. We did a wash and pre-inspection prior to booking anything and it wasn't pretty. At that time I also learned that some of the car was original paint...

This BMW 335i I was asked to work on threw me a couple curveballs so I figured a short writeup was in order. It's just one example of how every panel on a paint correction job can be different. Client had brought me the car given that it had a number of swirls and although not looking...

Fellow Tacoma World forum member contacted me about getting his truck protected with Opti-Coat Pro. When providing the initial estimate I found the usual swirl marks but also a lot of contamination on the paint. Given the truck was white, the contamination was pretty obvious. We planned for a 2...

I had written a blog post few years back about snow removal from your car without scratching it up. It still gets web traffic every winter. An editor from Cars.com contacted me as he was writing a similar post on their "kicking tires" blog Check it out - with commentary from Mr. Sparkle...

I recently had done a couple Lexus IS models in black that were really tough to work with (very soft and banged up from dealership mishandling). When I got the call for this GS350 in Nebula Gray Pearl I thought I may be headed down that same road. Fortunately I was wrong and its a good example...

Client contacted me regarding a 2009 Bentley Continental that was just purchased from California and shipped cross country. It was dirty from transport and the owner hadn't really gotten a good look at the paint. We planned for a wash & wax assuming the paint was in good shape. Pulled the car...
