    2012 BMW M3 Competition - Correction and Ceramic

    I am currently employed as a detailer at a major dealership and can honestly say that if I had it my way every nice vehicle that came in would be detailed to the highest degree. Unfortunately for me I have time restraints and just like everything else people want it 5 mins ago. lol Then...

    BMW hack job!

    I've worked at a few dealerships and just like most of the "detailers" that work there, many of the outside "professionals" that come in to work on the higher end vehicles just don't have a clue on how to detail safely and properly. Working at a Ford/Lincoln dealership for a year I saw far to...

    Chemical Guys Startup Kit

    I think I'll take a look into that route. I'd say once I pick and choose what I need I'll probably come out saving money. :xyxthumbs: That is always a good thing.

    Chemical Guys Startup Kit

    So have any of you guys ordered this kit before. I'm trying to start a small detailing buisness on the side and for the most part the kit really has everything I need. I already have my PC 7424XP and my trusty M105/205 so no worries there but I do fall short on just about all other chemicals. If...

    Cleaning a dirty dash

    I have a link for that. hahaha The reason I'm worried about the dash is because the rest of the interior cleaned up very nice but the dash still looks filthy to me. I am very particular about it because I stare at it all the time. lol And I don't have a pressure washer so that idea is out the...

    Cleaning a dirty dash

    I have a 99 Acura Integra with a tan interior including the dash. The car has been very neglected throughout the years and I'm trying to get it back in tip-top shape. What cleaner and process would you guys use to clean the dirt and grime out of the little cracks and crevices of in the vinyl...

    Wetsanding a 99 Integra

    Still need to touch up some swirl marks but for using wool and a rotary for the first time I'm quite happy. I might even try it again on the Integra if I can get ahold of a paint thickness gauge.

    Wetsanding a 99 Integra

    I had no problems removing the sanding that I did. and the wool and 105 worked like a charm especially since I've started spritzing baby oil on my pad before working in the 105. I will def. be practicing more with wool pads and hopefully get pretty good with them. And like I said pics are...

    Wetsanding a 99 Integra

    Will have some pics up for you guys once I get access to a computer with a working Sim card drive. I am much happier with the out come this time around. I still need to finish the hood and roof but overall I'm very happy that my car looks good right now. :xyxthumbs:

    Wetsanding a 99 Integra

    I'm going to try it and see how it goes. But I doubt I'll have any problems. I just used 3000 grit last time and I didn't get enough cut. I'll get some pics and will see how it goes! I'm not getting the clarity that I want and for being a dark green car it doesn't have any depth. 2000 grit...

    Wetsanding a 99 Integra

    I'm going to be extremely careful and see what happens. I'm guessing the end results are going to be good though. I will get some pictures during the process.

    Wetsanding a 99 Integra

    Yeah most of the 4doors are grocery getters. lol I'd like to get this one back to its stock clean form and then go from there with modifications. And yeah unfortunately the front bumper was painted and the paint is now chipping but it will hopefully be getting painted soon. As far as the...
