Sadly, this is a new car with less than 4k miles. A spray paint can in a flattering color exploded in the garage it was parked in. Thinner and mineral spirits did nothing to remove this paint. Clay also was no match. These kind of details I would do everyday of the week, any improvement...

I did this.... It was turned into this by a body shop... Ill be fixing it later this week. The shop was nice enough to hit the entire car with a dry 8" wool pad, Topps All Silicone Nausea, and a disgruntled clean up person.

Its been a while. My Picasa image links used to work in the forum posts, but now do not. What the trick? When I click the "Insert Image" button and paste a link to the image form Picasa, I get an "Invalid File" reply form Autopia. I'd post a screen shot if I could....

A collector I do work for just picked this up. I have not seen one in better condition to date. It came delivered clean, but with the typical "I've been quick detailed to death" gloss and swirls. The interior was cleaned with 1Z Einszett cockpit and was very clean form the start...

It's been a while... A collector I do work for just purchased this well kept Mazda RX-7. It came to him very clean with the typical "it's been quick detailed for years in the garage" finish. Very glossy and swirled. <table style="width: auto;"><tbody><tr><td></td></tr><tr><td...

Been watching since the premiere. All I can say is, "WOW"...

I tried Lake Country Snappy Pad Cleaner for the first time last week. At first, I didnt want to use a product based on a powder for my pads. I added hot water to a a 5gal bucket, dissolved a Snappy Clean, and dropped in a few pads. (I know the web photos of the Snappy Clean packet make it...

I use Optimum products and have no complaints with any I have used to date. I have read posts of people getting 3-4 months from Opti-Seal, but not me. Im lucky to get 4 weeks. By durability, I'm speaking of water beading and ease of washing. I notice the beads stop forming at 4 weeks...

I always find myself going back to Poorboys Spray and Rinse on extremely neglected and dirty wheels. Diluted right, its never failed to clean baked on brake dust. I also have some 4 year old waffle weave drying towels from Steve which are STILL my go to drying towels. These things are...

I finally got out to go knock out some cars today. I left my cameras card in my computer. F40 was just a wash and wax. The E46 M3 was a full blast. Whats missing?? Oh, there it is... Fk1000 looks great on silver! No way to tell via Blackberry Bold..:tumblewee...

Recently I have seen the use of ultra-high end and ultra-rare exotic materials during details, so I thought I'd take it up a notch. No expense is spared in my garage. I started using Grey Goose during my corrections in lieu of IPA. It works as you would expect! Give it a try.

Has anyone put FK1000 on black plastic exterior trim? Im interested to know if it ruins or seals the part.

Just a preview. Did another with Sean today. More to follow. Sean is a better photographer. After 177 pics I may as well throw the SD card out... Carrera GT coming up soon also. efore After 50/50 Polishing with PO85RD Couple...

My 535xi wagon is gone due to iDrive complexity and an uninterested driver. Im looking for some input on an 06 A6 3.2 Avant. Are there any sore/strong spots a potential buyer should be aware of? I have found one that I am comparing to an 06 E350 4matic wagon and an E500 4matic wagon...

I have never worked on a car with an assistant before. and I will never work on a car without one again... I completed 2 today. I never have done this before. You guys laugh that do production work, but I typically consume 8-10h per car. I paid out a fair rate to my help and...
