    The owner contacted me and said he saw some pics of a NSX I did some correction on and wanted me to clean up his Jaguar.

    Not so much a teaser as a living nightmare -Detailed Designs Auto Spa

    I know we are supposed to do better but I just got home and I feel like I fell off a 5 story building. All I could manage is to post up a crummy pic I took with my phone. 2005 XJR with some increda-nasty acid rain marks and clear etching. Some of the acid rain spots are so bad they appear to...

    Great brush option for leatherique

    Quite some time ago, my wife and I were shopping at The Home Depot and while walking through the paint isles, I noticed a very plush soft bristle brush. It was made by Ralph Lauren and cost ~$30.

    3401 stopped

    I guess the brushes are gone or near-gone. I know Flex advertises that the machine will auto-stop when the brushes wear out. Urgh, couldn't happen at a worse possible time!
