    Is there a way to change my user name, considering I no longer own a WRX?

    What do dealer detailers make?

    If you have any high-end dealerships (Lamborghini, Ferrari, Bently, Aston Martin) nearby, they might pay better.

    quick vent

    Definitely would recommend making it with vector based design like in Illustrator. With vector designs you can resize it to whatever size you want with no loss of definition. Once you got it in the size you want, you just save it in the file format you need. If the logo is not complicated, I...

    F150 with over 200k miles

    My uncle washed it the day before and I had Jason from Iconic Detailing helping me. So in total we clayed using the nanoskin pads (great product by the way), then cut, polish, and sealant. We put some wax on the hood, but weren't able to see a difference so we didn't worry about waxing the...

    F150 with over 200k miles

    I wanted some more practice so over the Thanksgiving holidays I worked on my uncle's truck. He has a black F150 with over 200,000 miles on it. There were a lot of chips and scratches that were too deep to repair, but the results still speak for them selves. Sorry I didn't get enough before...

    2011 Subaru WRX Limited

    I'm still planning on debadging the Subaru and AWD on the trunk. The WRX emblems will stay. I live in an apartment and it's been triple digit temps for a while (not the best conditions for working outside). I actually did the detailing when I was visiting my home town in MS. As for the...

    2011 Subaru WRX Limited

    Actually, in my case, it was baseball size hail. The body shop had it for over 3 weeks and as we were detailing it we notices a lot of problems and mistakes that the painter made during the repairs. There are a lot of pits where they let contaminants or bubbles get in the clear coat. Those...

    2011 Subaru WRX Limited

    I actually just got it back from getting some hail damage repaired and while the glue for the badges was still wet, I removed the Impreza that was above the WRX on the trunk. I might remove some or all the badges on the left side of the trunk, but haven't decided.

    2011 Subaru WRX Limited

    How did I spend my 4th of July you might ask. I spent it detailing my 2011 Subaru WRX Limited. This was my first time detailing with a DA buffer (PC 7424XP). Special thanks to Jason (IconicDetailing) for his time and help. The car turned out great.

    I hate downtown Chicago!

    I can't wait till I can move back to the south where they don't require front plates.

    Fresh Paint

    They did do some sanding and it is a little swirled out. Whoever did the buffing/sanding did a horrible job. There is still some buffing compound left on the car, and they obviously didn't tape off the trim as there is white compound left on multiple places. I'm going back to get them to fix...

    POLL: Keep the stripes or ditch em?

    Ditch. If you're going to have stripes, get dual stripes down the middle.

    2009 BMW E90 M3 - SeaJay's Detailing

    :drool: I absolutely love the M3. If I could afford a BMW it would be the M3... or the M5... or at least a 1 M. M3 is my favorite of those though. Well done.

    Fresh Paint

    Well I'll let you know when I get it. I was told earlier in the week that I would be getting it Fri (6/1), but today they told me it was going into paint and it wouldn't be ready till mid next week.
