This Jet Black BMW 328XI came in for a Major Paint Correction, Interior Rejuvenation Detail and Opti-Glass Application. The soft Jet Black paint had severe swirl marks throughout the paintwork and required a two-step paint correction. Menzerna Intensive Polish was used on an orange Lake...

3M General Purpose Adhesive Remover is a decent road tar removal product. However CarPro TarX is far more effective and doesn't use harsh solvents like most road tar removal products. I used 1.5 liters of TarX decontaminating this BMW X5 after it was driven on a freshly paved road...

Nice detailing write up. The Camaro's paint looked like it hadn't been polished in quite a few years. How many compounding and polishing stages did you performing during the paint correction?

Thank you. I can't wait to try the Opti Guard Leather/Vinyl that I have been reading about on some of the detailing forums. Contact Optimum and let them know that your interested in applying to become an Opti-Coat Dealer/Installer. I am not sure the exact requirements for becoming an Optimum...

Thank you. Even though this Honda CRV had less than 5,000 miles on the odometer and was only a few months old it was heavily contaminated. My go to wheel and tire cleaner is Optimum Power Clean diluted 3/1. However on this particular vehicle I needed a product with a little bit more cleaning...

Excellent work. That interior was soiled! I was impressed to see how well the drivers seat and door panel came out.

Thank you. Typically I find new music on YouTube by clicking the suggested links. However this song was sent to me by a family member. I have been reading great things about Sonax polishes and Sonax Polymer Net Shield lately.

Thank you very much. In my opinion nothing beats freshly polished black paint.

This 2008 Obsidian Black Pearl Subaru STI Hatchback came in for a multiple day reconditioning detail that included: Rust Bloom Removal, Major Paint Correction, Opti-Coat Application, Opti-Glass Application and Interior Rejuvenation Detail. I have heard how incredibly soft and sticky the OBP...

Thank you. I use isopropyl alcohol diluted to 20% with distilled water. After I polish each panel I perform a isopropyl alcohol wipe down to check for paint defects. After the entire vehicle has been polished I perform a second isopropyl alcohol wipe down to remove any remaining polishing oils.

Thank you very much. The nice part about filming inside a garage is that the light conditions are relatively constant throughout the day. I use 5100k fluorescent bulbs and like the natural light that they provide. Thank you for watching. The Glidecam allows for some really cool shots.

Excellent work as always.

Thank you Smack. This was definitely one of my most intensive details to date. TarX really saved the day on this detail. Thanks for watching. If you buy in bulk it only takes a few headlight restorations to pay for all of the supplies. The 3000 Grit discs and Opti-Lens are the big ticket...
