I don't do many standard detail services so doing this more basic wash and wax detail was a very nice break from the daily grind of polishing. This client found me via one of the car forums I frequent and was looking to properly clean and protect his car during the winter season. Being his first...

Thanks for the compliments guys! My client was stoked! Correct, the 13' WRX is my personal car. Good eyes :props:

I was contacted by this owner looking to properly polish and protect his brand new 2014 Porsche Cayman S. This owner actually had the opportunity to experience European delivery where he picked up the Cayman at the factory in Stuttgart. Which is a very awesome experience. Anyways, onto the...

Thanks for the compliments guys! It definitely was a dramatic transformation, the owner was floored. Never worked on BMW paint that was this hard before though. Good to know!

In preparation for SoCal Euro here in San Diego this particular enthusiast wanted his vehicle to look the best for the show. The main areas of focus: -Removal of light swirls, marring and imperfections -Hazy and oxidized carbon fiber roof -Heavy fallout -Engine bay decontamination -Interior...

Thanks Jeff! Definitely agree that turning down the speed and lowering arm speed works wonders. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for the compliments guys! I could not have finished this one alone, but after all the hard work the finish was well worth it! To answer a few questions. LSP of choice on this one was Menzerna Powerlock, Foam Soap used was a strong concentration of Dawn and HyperWash.

Thanks for the compliments guys. Honestly I was blown away with how the car turned out, and in really the pictures don't do it justice to how it looked in person. CQuartz Finest is the real deal!

Sun Shots -Tim Adonis Detail San Diego

I was fortunate to have two other guys help me on this one, thank you Jimmy and JC. I received a voice mail from this client regarding how disappointed he was with how his car looked in any kind of light conditions. He had told me there were hard water spots all through his car and he took it...

The lance was a MTM Hydro foam cannon. It depends on what film you use. This particular car has Xpel ultimate which covers minor defects that were on the front end.

Wow! Impressive clientele, you have worked on just about every vehicle on my dream list. Nice!!

Thanks! We used a foam cannon and Meguiars Hyper Wash for the wash stage. Good question! Most of the jobs I do now are either CQuartz Finest or Opti Coat Pro. This client in particular asked specifically for Swissvax Concorso to be applied to the vehicle. Even after going over the differences...

I teamed up with Lucci Elite Detail in OC to work on this detail a while back, enjoy the write up! Ferrari F430 Paint Correction in for: -Full paint correction -Interior detailing -Engine bay detailing -Swissvax Concorso application This car was booked for a full correction after a front end...

It does dependent on the LSP, I just prefer to remove any LSP during the wash steps. Also when washing after compounding I simply foam, rinse and dry with a master blaster as to not put any defects into the paint prior to LSP.

Thanks! Distilled water is preferred due to its pure form. Tap water oftentimes has sediments that can leave water spots. I was a long time user of the Griots 6" DA and still love that machine but currently use a Rupes 21 with a 5" Backing Plate.
