    Critical Details: Alpine White BMW X5 - Road Tar Removal (CarPro TarX)

    This Alpine White BMW X5 came in for an emergency Road Tar Removal. Every inch of the beautiful Alpine White paint was stained and cover in tar. The worst of the contamination was on the driver side of the vehicle and rear of the X5. After spending a few hours applying CarPro TarX multiple...

    Critical Details: Mercedes-Benz SLK 350 - Major Paint Correction + Opti-Coat

    The PCXP is a great machine and I used one exclusively for my first three years of detailing. Make sure that you use 5.5 inch buffing pads and you will be in good shape. Did you order a 4 inch backing plate and 4 inch buffing pads as well?

    Critical Details: Mercedes-Benz SLK 350 - Major Paint Correction + Opti-Coat

    Thank you. It is always nice when a client can leave their vehicle with you for two or three days. Having the vehicle for multiple days gives me the extra that is necessary to film a video. Some details I only have enough time to snap a few Instagram pictures.

    Critical Details: Mercedes-Benz SLK 350 - Major Paint Correction + Opti-Coat

    Thank you for the compliment. The Rupes is a must have for any extended polishing session. My fingers would still be numb if I polished 8 hours straight with the Porter Cable. Thanks for watching. Keep an eye out for the BMW X5 Road Tar Removal and the Subaru STI Major Paint Correction...

    Critical Details: Mercedes-Benz SLK 350 - Major Paint Correction + Opti-Coat

    I recently had the pleasure of working on a beautiful 2005 Mercedes-Benz SLK 350 with Orion Blue Metallic paint. The vehicle owner wanted to restore the SLK to showroom condition and chose to have a Major Paint Correction performed. After compounding and polishing the paint for eight hours it...

    Critical Details: Lets Talk Steam Cleaners

    I use the steam concentrator nozzle for cleaning door jambs, engine compartment, cup holders and any hard to reach interior crevices. While I use the triangle brush covered with a microfiber towel for cleaning headliners and leather seats. Occasionally I will use the extension poles and the...

    Critical Details: Lets Talk Steam Cleaners

    Very good point. It takes me approximately an hour to use a gallon of water in my steam cleaner. As apposed to when I use my carpet extractor, I can use a gallon of water in a matter of minutes. On carpet and cloth upholstery, you really need the extra water to flush the dirt from the fabric.

    Nasty Caked On Carbon on Exhaust Tips

    @Critical - It is a MKVI GTI. Good look! My friend has the same vehicle and his exhaust tips always look like the picture you posted. The after pictures of the exhaust will make for quite a dramatic difference.

    Nasty Caked On Carbon on Exhaust Tips

    Is that an MK6 GTI exhaust tip? Don't be worried about using steel wool with some metal polish on stainless steel exhaust tips. If you are worried about damaging the surface use a junk microfiber towel and some metal polish. The microfiber towel will eventually yield the same results as steel...

    Mytee system maintainer

    I have personally never used the Mytee System Maintainer because I don't put chemicals in my water tank and only used distilled water. From reading about MSE it sounds like you put it in the water tank and run it through the machine. I wouldn't add it to the extractor while you are detailing a...
