I know this thread is old, but I completely missed these last few comments and wanted to thank you all for them. Thanks Miranda, I take a LOT of pride in being able to correct paint to this level. I appreciate your kind words. Thanks Vet. I do aim to please. As do I Legacy, as do I...

AMAZING photos! And great job on the headlights. Qaz393, that's not true at all...the factory coating needs to be FULLY removed before you apply any kind of new protection what-so-ever. And it doesn't matter what you use on plastic headlamp lenses...the hazing WILL come back, period. It's...

Very nice Charlie! I'll have to look into these sanding disks of which you speak! They seem VERY handy for removing deeper defects quicker than what I'm currently using. lol As of this point, getting faster at correcting is becoming very important to me. lol

Thanks Stephan. Next weekend is a white e30 325i that I've had to put off for almost a month now. The owner, I'm sure, is ECSTATIC that it's going to get knocked out now. :D

Thanks Jenn and Mobile. :D I know it was a LOT of pictures. haha

Thanks Charlie! :D I feel bad though. I didn't get to spend ANY time with my wife this weekend. :(

Let's also remember...this car had Ceramiclear on it...Doing a car this size, by yourself and in this condition is a TERRIBLE decision. lol Luckily for me and my customers...I actually DO suffer from O.C.D. :D

Yup! D300 and Surbuf 5.5" pads did ALL of this car. The key with D300 and Surbuf is SLOW PASSES and SMALL SECTIONS. Fast passes just uses a bunch of product and wastes it. D300 has an AMAZING work time and very little dusting!

AND some depth of reflection shots! And even a couple of the wheels, though I'm sure they're not many people's taste, they actually weren't too bad for chrome wheels: Wheels: AND parting shots!

Now the AFTERS!! Remember...this was NOT to be a 100% correction, even though I'm pretty sure I couldn't have gotten 100% anyway, it came 100000% better than where it came from and the customer even commented that he wasn't expecting it to look THIS good when he got it back: A...

Here are some 50/50, before/after compounding and in-process photos for the viewers: Before: After D300 and Surbuf: Hood after D300 and Surbuf: 50/50s on the trunk lid after JUST D300 and Surbuf: 50/50 of the rear passenger door and front passenger door seam: Just a couple of...

Okay. So it's been quite a while since I posted any write-ups, and that's mostly because I took a full-time job back in IT doing support for UCB Bio-pharmaceuticals in Raleigh, NC. While there, I started receiving soooo many calls for detailing back here in Lynchburg, that I HAD to respond...

One of my favorite photos of a car I've detailed. I WISH it wer mine... Some DEEP reflection in this one:

No disrespect taken at all! You're absolutely right about the models (the hoods and grills should have been the first clue), though I was positive that the blue one was a G110. You seem far more educated on these things than me, so I bow to your expertise. :D And thanks so much for the kind...

I would go with a Griot's kit being as there is a lifetime warranty and the machine is MUCH more powerful than a PC7424XP. I haven't tried the Wolfgang products either, but I can say that I would DEFINITELY recommend the Meguiar's 105/205 combo over pretty much anything else, even the new Meg's...

That's AWESOME! Congrats man!

CHAD! AMAZING turn around buddy! I'm getting a bit more intrigued by these damn MF pads...I may even have to try D300 as well. lol

The FIRST THING I would do is KILL THE CAT SCRATCHING HER TRUCK! THEN I'd start wet-sanding out the deeper scratches and then I'd start polishing out the rest. Good luck. You're going to be there a while.

You'll just have to repolish your hood with an all in one or a light polish and reapply a sealant or wax. It happens to my customer's cars as well. Looks brand new when I'm done though. Bug guts are acidic and will etch paint, sealants or waxes very easily. It's a quick fix though. Shouldn't...
