Figure with the recent wintry weather in North Carolina I'd post a few writeups of past work. For the record, despite all the preparation work needed for OC, the product is a people pleaser and has brought in alot of new clients looking to do the treatment. First off: Jerez Black M3 was...

Jerez Black M3 was scheduled to address heavy marring from a previous detailer who used improper rotary technique. Paint had copious amounts of buffer swirling. We approached this with the intention of correcting most to all defects without hindering paint thickness. Two passes of compounding...

Up for detail is a G37 with heavy marring and dealership negligence. Front bumper was repainted and funny enough as the easiest to correct. Ample improperly applied touchup paint where the dealer simply dabbed paint expecting it to gloss. Paint was by far the fussiest to work with, hence the 3...

I have a love/hate relationship with Opticoat. Love the look, appearance, and performance of the product. The prep work involved can be intensive at times. That being said I think the gloss of OC is awesome. I find it imperative to tell the customer the vehicle cannot be moved for 24 hours. Here...

Since we seem to have a revolving question of finding a NC Detailer here is a list I've compiled (with authorization from each individual): Raleigh / Cary / Durham Morrisville – RTP / RDU Brandon Woo - Liquid Finish Detailing - 919-901-0088 Chris Chandler - Nth Degree Detailing -...

Thanks to Todd for sending me some Blackfire samples & Coolwave pads. Christmas got super busy for me so I hardly had time to backtrack on the forum and check for the trial/samples that I won. Now I have to thank them for all the sample testing I'll be doing! Thanks Todd & PBMG for bearing...

Can't catch a break, non stop black vehicles coming in for basic restoration. This honda was clayed by a local car wash, of course the micro overspray wasn't removed. Nanoskin took off the micro paint in a second and it was onto basic swirl removal. Find it funny this paint likes to shine like...

Up for detail a 2008 Mini Cooper for an Opticoat installation. Paint was aggressively corrected, then sealed with Opticoat 2.0 for the ultimate protection available. I am horrendous at getting proper lighting to take pictures of the paint. Doesn't help that we're slowly losing daylight! Wash –...

105K Mile E90 Daily Driver up for a correction. Sand damage from a storm marred the surface. Otherwise in amazing shape for the age of the vehicle! No dings, however plenty of tar which was removed with the usual decontamination step. Attention was paid to keep a safe amount of paint on the...

540TI with the case of rotary buffer swirling from a bodyshop. Opted for a 1 step correction since this vehicle is a daily driver and goes through a fair amount of work. Under halogens the buffer swirls were not shown, so in sunlight it was revealed to be more microscopic in action. Paint reads...

Red 330ZHP to address the light water marking on the surface. Easily removed with M205 & Orange 5.5 Low profile pad. More inspection I found swirling and copious amounts of RIDS/Etching. Special thanks to Nth Degree Detailing for lending a Highline II PTG Meter. Prior to correction, thickness...

Originally had posted questions on how to tackle this tree stained A4. Nothing worked chemically, even goof off,etc. So I went ahead with my mechanical correction set. http://www.autopiaforums.com/forums/auto-detailing-101/39983-tree-sap-deposit-acid-issue-2008-audi-a4-white.html 4 Year old...

Had a frantic call for help with this 2008 Audi A4. Car was left underneath a tree, client believed it was a deposit/sap of some sort. Taken to the car wash, also had a "detailer" try claying and a few chemicals. Showed up on site, wiped it down with Opticlean. Used the following: Auto...

Up for detail today was a brand new 911 Carrera S. New Car package involved a thorough cleaning, residue removal, glue removal, and paint inspection. No marring at all, the paint was pretty easy to work on. Opticoat applied to all trim and paint. Wheels were super coated with OptiCoat as well...

Worked on this Boxster in and out over the years. This car was in mediocre condition and in desperate need of some polishing. Worst part was trying to clean all the jams with steam + water since dirt had accumulated so badly. Wheels x- Sonax Wheel Cleaner, Optimum Power Clean, various brushes...

First B&A thread after waiting 7 years, finally had a worthwhile restoration and time to show off. 2008 Jerez Black M3 with dealer induced swirls. Thankfully only from the carwash and dealer neglect. Sun kept peaking in & out during the day but the cold didn't stop me from finishing this car...
