The Honda s2000 is becoming a tough car to find, as proven by the fact this car was purchased over the internet from a dealer in Colorado, then shipped to Long Island NY. Upon inspection the new owner felt the paint could use some work, and he looked around for a knowledgeable detailer. As a...

Not the typical car you get called for. 1994 Supercharged Ford Thunderbird. Custom interior with a 1 year old full repaint on the exterior. Owner is a big time Ford enthusiast prepping this car for a long ride to Kentucky for a Ford Supercar event. I was happy to rise to the occasion. I had...

About 6 months ago I did a full correction and Opti-Coat on a 2013 Subaru BRZ. The vehicle left my shop, like all others getting this treatment, in near flawless condition. Client was happy and he maintained the car himself, so I didn't hear from him since then. Fast forward to 4pm the...

Recently was contacted for a 1 step correction on a 2009 Nissan 370z (black of course). Due to some scheduling conflicts, I took on this one during the overnight hours. Took care of the interior and the wash / decon in the early evening but didn't get down to any correction work until around...

Client contacted me early this year for correction and Opti-Coat on his black 2012 Volkswagen GLI. We discussed the situation, and agreed to a 2 step correction with Opti-Guard protection to finish it off. Despite a few scheduling hurdles, eventually got him in the shop and got it done. Car...

This is random. just thought it was worth sharing Get contacted through email recently by a chinese detailing website. Asking to use a photo from my webpage to demonstrate the power of IronX. They said I'd get credited so why not! Here it is, Nice Car HK (hong kong) CarPro ??? 500ml...

Client stopped by the shop a month ago looking to do something special for his son graduating college. Junior drives a 2000 Chevy Camaro SS which was mechanically in great shape, but pretty swirled up. I did some test spots on the spoiler to demonstrate what a 1 or 2 step correction was...

Earlier this year I had done a 2 step correction with Opti-Coat on a white VW Golf R. The client was very happy and told his friend with a GTI that he needed some Mr. Sparkle action. After speaking to him and discussing some options, we agreed to a 2 step with Opti-Coat. As always, started...

Good friend of mine recently bought a 2008 BMW 335i (convertible twin turbo). He mentioned it had some swirls and need some attention. The interior needed a light cleanup as well. Only problem was, didn't have time for a full correction. Had about 8 hours total with the car. Did the...

Recently sunk quite a bit of time into a 2012 Mustang. Black of course. Close to 18 hours total. A new record in the Mr. Sparkle garage. I was contacted by a client looking for Opti-Coat who mentioned he had some swirls that would need polishing prior to application. We booked it for a 2...

Client called about his black Porsche Carrera. It was a bit swirled up, with some water spots, and overall lacking gloss. Most importantly there were scuffs marks all around the body from a car cover. I provided some options and he chose a 1 step paint correction. Full correction was not...

Got a call from a new client who recently picked up a 2000 Porsche Carrera and was interested in getting the paint polished. Even wanted me to look at it prior to booking anything. I expected the worst and prepared myself. During the pre-detail inspection, I found the car actually wasn't that...

Its too much to copy and paste it all here. But I did a long writeup on Autogeek showing how crappy my shop looked when I moved in and all the work I put into it. I received some positive comments around here so posting the link. enjoy The Mr. Sparkle Garage - How it Started - Extreme Shop...

Client emails me talking about how bad the swirls in his car bother him. Swirls in the paint, taillights, pillars, paint protection film. Then he tells me its white. So this car is really banged up or the owner has a good eye (or a little of both) Upon arrival, he was right. Gave it a look...

Fellow NASCAR fan recently picked up a Boss 302 Mustang and contacted me for Opti-Coat. He was also interested in getting the interior protected as well. I was more than happy to take care of this one being that this one seriously cool car. Started with my 2 bucket wash, Ironx, clay routine...

Repeat client contacted me as it was time to take care of his wife's car. Talk about pressure! Fortunately this was no minivan. Mom drives a 2013 Hyundai Genesis. Started on the interior which wasn't too bad. Some recent snowstorms left sand on the roads / parking lots which finds its way...

Contacted by a new client who picked up a 2004 Mercedes SLK230 at a police auction. Said it needed some attention and being that we were both SUNY Binghamton grads, I got the call. Go Bearcats! (lol - not exactly) Interior was small, not terribly dirty, and since it was dark interior it...

Recently got a call from a client looking for Opti-Coat on his 2011 Mercedes E350 that was just purchased used. We agreed to a 2 step correction with Opti-Coat protection. Little did I know this would be a 15 hour project. Before all of this the car was first brought to another detailer...

Client contacted me looking for Opti-Coat protection for his wife's new Audi Q5. Car was white, and just picked up from the dealer so I anticipated a 1 step polish. This correction proved to be a bit of a moving target though as I learned. Shortly after booking the date, we had a major...
