This young man is definitely gifted in photography. He can capture cars in a way that I can't, so I thought I'd share them with you folks. I suggested he get into the car photography line of work: OEM brochures, car magazines, etc...I think he'd do well. Here ya go: Enjoy...

Finished compounding the car today...now it's looking like a nice ride. Polish tomorrow and wax. Toto

Super Job Clay...and you handled the issue of "cheap" detail perfectly. Way to go sir! Toto

Off hand, I don't know the mfg, but I think Harbor Freight sells them along with most body shop suppliers. It's a pistol grip unit. I use a kit from 3M that has the 3" backing plate, couple of wool pads (also superb for headlight lense buffing) and a couple of foam finish pads. WORD OF...

The dealer got this 06 530Xi and the first thing I noticed while prepping for compounding routine was the wheel faces where scratched. Upon closer inspection the recess' were deeply scratched. I think the previous owner tried to use Scotch-Brite pads to remove brake dust...and totally screwed...

No problem at all! You folks have given me many nice compliments on the Bimmer's I do....and anytime I can pass on some knowledge or tips on appearance care, I try to. Toto

Nope. It will darken any flat black paint (like the window trim around BMW's). I use it weekly! Nice product that's been around for many years and is very consistent in results. Toto

Who said that? I've tried all their products with a rotary: Fusion, AIO, Z2, Z5...they work ok (except the Fusion is pretty weak compared to compounds). never had a problem Toto

You might want to try a process that I use on all sealant products: I put the sealant on with a finish pad (rotary use...but the pc will have the same effect) and work the product until the finish is clear...zero haze. When I'm finished with the entire car, I use whatever QD is handy and a mf...

The Louisville Slugger hits them out of the park LOL ôô Toto

Good Lord Man!....I'd have to get a heart transplant with that number in a week. I typically do 2-3 cars per week..but they have to be ready for sale which means trunks and motors as well as body appearance. I've got 2 5 Series this coming week and a couple of trade-in's. Toto

Boy, it's been "big car" week at the shop! This 2002 745i is Toledo Blue and has 87,000 miles. It was 87/k scratchy!...lots of little annoying stuff. So, it was wetsanded in numerous spots with 2500 grit followed by Trizact 3000 pads on an air orbital sander. That step really preps a...

It's pretty amazing how wild animals are getting acclimated to humans being near them. 2 days ago, a doe birthed a new fawn at my fence (I have a creek at the back of my property). This was in spite of having a Lab and Pitbull around the yard. She knew they would not jump the fence so it...

Glad to see that you folks are safe. We had some storms hit last night just outside the KC metro area. Gallons of rain and lightning, but minimal damage here. Toto (I think Dorothy already left the state LOL)

Whoa! Stunning work you've done. GREAT Color combo. That Orange/White/Black used to be (or still is) Harley's racing team colors. Congrat's on a super job Sir! Toto

I think the dealer paid close to $5,000 for it (typical Snap-On pricing). I've seen other platform hoists with 6,000 Lb capacity for $1,600 - 1,800 ranges. Toto

Fantastic work on a beautiful car Budman! Congrat's Sir! Toto

This was a pretty quick job on a pre-sold 07 X3 (Titanium Gray Metallic....I'm not fond of this color for some reason) Used Meg's 83 and a foam compound pad to remove light scratches and swirls. Followed that with a general polishing using 83 on a finish pad and finished with #26 wax for...

SUPER Job Clay! White is tough to "capture" in pics. You just know when it's right. I gotta get some lessons from ya on carpets in 15 minutes... Toto

Nope! You're probably in that plush office with your feet up on the desk LOL. Cool looking shots of the warehouse...pretty full now. What'cha gonna do for DF IV room-wise? Toto
