    2000 Porsche Carrera - 1 Step Paint Correction by Mr. Sparkle Detailing - Long Island

    Got a call from a new client who recently picked up a 2000 Porsche Carrera and was interested in getting the paint polished. Even wanted me to look at it prior to booking anything. I expected the worst and prepared myself. During the pre-detail inspection, I found the car actually wasn't that...

    The Mr. Sparkle Garage - How it Started - Extreme Shop Makeover

    The cat? I ATE HIM lol I don't like cats. The guy next door does so he feeds and houses like ten of them. So Mr. Jinx or whatever his name is didn't have to go very far.

    The Mr. Sparkle Garage - How it Started - Extreme Shop Makeover

    Thanks! no those bulbs are not the same at all. The LED bulbs are all single diode. that means one fat LED packed in there, not a cluster of small ones (like most bulbs). Home depot or lowes carries them for close to $40 each. par38 LED single diode daylight spectrum (18w or 20w - can't...

    The Mr. Sparkle Garage - How it Started - Extreme Shop Makeover

    Really appreciate the comments guys! It was not easy and the entire few weeks were just crazy (was still working my full time job to fund it all). So seeing it all put in one place is kinda cool the photography fixtures I used are found on amazon for pretty cheap. I just zip tied these...

    The Mr. Sparkle Garage - How it Started - Extreme Shop Makeover

    So the place is starting to look decent. Then I notice all these orange spots on the wall. There had been something mounted there, with holes leftover. Holes were filled with this orange foam that looked terrible up close Covered them all with a little dab of white caulk A...

    The Mr. Sparkle Garage - How it Started - Extreme Shop Makeover

    This is a bit overdue, but I've received a lot of positive comments on my shop since opening up the doors about 2 months ago now. Now that I've got the chance I wanted to post the photos of the work that went into getting it looking legit. This will be a long one, so hopefully I don't get...

    Insurance for non mobile detailers

    Sounds about right. I assume we're talking $1m in GL coverage along with garage keepers insurance? and don't be surprised if they require a central burgular alarm. And they might not tell you until after the policy is purchased. Can't imagine how I know that

    VW Golf R - 2 Step Paint Correction & Opti-Coat by Mr. Sparkle Detailing - Long Island

    Client emails me talking about how bad the swirls in his car bother him. Swirls in the paint, taillights, pillars, paint protection film. Then he tells me its white. So this car is really banged up or the owner has a good eye (or a little of both) Upon arrival, he was right. Gave it a...

    Fellow NASCAR fan recently picked up a Boss 302 Mustang and contacted me for Opti-Coat. He was also interested in getting the interior protected as well. I was more than happy to take care of this one being that this is one seriously cool car. Started with my 2 bucket wash, Ironx, clay...

    2013 Hyundai Genesis 2.0T - interior cleanup & polish with Klasse AIO by Mr. Sparkle Detailing - Long Island

    can't really comment on how hard or soft the paint is. klasse aio is non abrasive so really no clear was being removed. it was just being cleaned really well. and I 'fixed' my CG mat for the final time today. again, I'll do a full writeup once everything is sorted out

    2013 Hyundai Genesis 2.0T - interior cleanup & polish with Klasse AIO by Mr. Sparkle Detailing - Long Island

    Repeat client contacted me as it was time to take care of his wife's car. Talk about pressure! Fortunately this was no minivan. Mom drives a 2013 Hyundai Genesis. Started on the interior which wasn't too bad. Some recent snowstorms left sand on the roads / parking lots which finds its way...
