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 before sundown. Initial D300/M105 cut really cut through 90% of the swirls, although some deeper...

Only a few protection/1 step details for the winter season. Nothing fancy but it's nice quick & easy work for happy clients. Can't wait to try out Opt's MF/GPS soon enough since I'm running low on poliseal. Basic Line Up: Foam Wash with Poorboy’s Super Slick & Suds Tires with Power Clean 3:1...

Only took me 6 years to post a writeup. Here's a CPO'd 135. After polishing with D300/105 Meguiars I found deep etching and minor swirling which meant deeper cutting was needed with probably Surf Buf pads, etc. I decided for the recent life of the paint it was better off leaving it at 95%. I...

General Info A long time since I’ve posted a Detail. Today was fun, but grueling. Probably will never buy a black car again. Vehicle 94 Black NSX – Heavy Swirls/Etching/Marring. At first I thought this car would be a breeze to polish, but wow 12 years takes it toll. I ended up doing some...

Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions for removing this paint splatter that has been on the paint for a few months (Ack!). Any suggestions are welcome. Possible course of action: Wash 50:50 Alcohol Mineral Spiritz, repeated to break down the paint. Clay area for light paint residue...

Fortunate to be referred by my friend to this Porsche owner. One sweet ride, it's tracked and has some very nice mods, such as cage, belts, and fire extinguisher :D. The weather was a killer, pulled up and it was drizzling, then turned to crazy hot, then cloudy. I've concluded that I have a 60%...

Hey DC! About to graduate and I'm designing a senior square. What is a senior square? On a certain number of your stairwells there are lots of white walls open. As year seniors are allowed to design their own 11 x 11 square design. My question is, is it possible to spray clear coat onto a...

Here's a picture of a 325i detail I did this past weekend. Rims are RIDICULOUS after even using A2Z. However the side skirt area, or "runner" area is caked in mud and other grudgy things. What would you do in this situation? (Grr. PhotoBucket resized this sucker tiny) I rinsed it, pretreat...
