Contacted by a new client who picked up a 2004 Mercedes SLK230 at a police auction. Said it needed some attention and being that we were both SUNY Binghamton grads, I got the call. Go Bearcats! (lol - not exactly) Interior was small, not terribly dirty, and since it was dark interior it...

To be honest, I don't push the service enough. I find that the kit is very good, but my skills with it could be improved. Keep in mind its paint touchup. Its only going to look so good, can't compare to a body shop re-spray. Obviously the re-spray costs a lot more and thats the marketing...

Thanks for the comments! To get the polish from the cracks I used an MF towel where I could but I also had the steam cleaner involved. vx5000 Paint chips fixed with the 'applied colors' system Paint Touch Up System for Professionals: The ScratchOut Kit looks like the price has gone up...

I like the optimum MF pads with the flex. Megs pads seem to haze more, but they also cut a bit better. But as far as feel I think the flex and mf pads are smooth. Wasn't a big fan of the flex when I first got it but after a couple cars it grew on me and now I reach for it all the time. that...

Recently got a call from a client looking for Opti-Coat on his 2011 Mercedes E350 that was just purchased used. We agreed to a 2 step correction with Opti-Coat protection. Little did I know this would be a 15 hour project. Before all of this the car was first brought to another detailer...

Client contacted me looking for Opti-Coat protection for his wife's new Audi Q5. Car was white, and just picked up from the dealer so I anticipated a 1 step polish. This correction proved to be a bit of a moving target though as I learned. Shortly after booking the date, we had a major...

Thanks for the kind words!

Client contacted me for Opti-Coat protection on his new VW Golf R. He was also unhappy with the paint condition from the dealership. He lived about an hour away but was willing to make the trip. Car was picked up at the end of january and brought to me 2 weeks later. It was not washed at...

great work interesting finishing combo. would've thought with soft paint it wouldn't finish down well with 205/orange. I'll have to try that.

I think if I was buying I'd go subaru also thanks for the comments guys

a combined 14 hours start to finish :buffing:

I prefer micro chenille wash mitts and any grit guard is fine tire dressing I use Poorboys bold n' bright interior stuff: cleaning: megs APC+ or optimum power clean dressing: 303 aerospace protectant glass: sprayway for fast interior work on relatively clean cars I like megs quik interior...

Square not available in Canada ehhh? thats what I use. Very easy, no monthly fee, reasonable % per transaction

I have halogens but in a lot of side by side comparisons I've done I find the LEDs show more. They are also much more efficient and give off virtually no heat in comparison. I mainly use 18w par38 single diode LED flood light bulbs in the daylight spectrum. Kinda expensive for a bulb but you...

no problem. most guys here (including myself) are primarily interested in the pad / polish combos when looking at show & shine threads so I try to include that

thanks! I've done my fair share but I know there are a few guys around the country who have done a lot more

Client contacted me late last year about getting his new C series coupe protected with Opti-Coat. Once my shop was opened we settled on a date for a 1 step polish with Opti-Coat. Upon arrival I learned that he was actually second owner, and the car was purchased with 6000 miles on the...
