    Imola Red BMW 740i Paint Correction

    I tried using Griot's Exterior trim restorer but had the same issues you are having... I'm going to coat them with a real trim coating to bring them back to new again. Edit: Unless you are talking about the black rub strips on the doors and bumpers?? We had those sanded, primed, painted, and...

    22PLE Glass Coating Application: Cobra and Coyote

    So this past week I finally got my Cobra back after a long 8 months at the shop. When I got her back she needed some love and attention. Wasn't horribly dirty but had some water spotting and needed a light paint correction. When I first detailed this car 2 years ago I was pretty inexperienced...

    2016 WRX Limited ISM New Car Prep and Optimum Gloss Coated!

    Great job! You can also apply gloss coat to windows. When my parents bought their silver 335i I polished it and applied gloss coat. I know what you mean. Silver is very hard to coat!

    E60 BMW Paint Correction - Black

    This 85,000 mile E60 5 series was hurting for some TLC. The car was riddled with swirl marks, heavy scratches, and holograms. I busted out M105 and knocked them all down and worked my way back up with Menzerna 2500 and finally topped it off with Zaino show car polish. The car didn't come out...

    Chevy SS Paint Correction Detail - Black

    I remebred watching this video of Larry from AMMO NYC running into a very similar issue like this. He used straight water but that wasn't working for me as it wasn't giving me enough lubrication.. You're thinking of Black Diamond Tri Coat. A friend of mine is painting his 240sx that color.

    Chevy SS Paint Correction Detail - Black

    Over the weekend I performed a paint correction on this 2014 Chevy SS in Phantom Black Metallic. With only 14,000 miles the car was pretty swirled. This is mostly due to the fact that this car has extremely soft paint.It really tested my abilities as a detailer. It was so soft that even...

    Thank you! He just purchased the car last year in its previous condition. I've been informing him on proper wash procedure, technique, and products. If he's not washing it I will be lol.

    C5 Corvette Z06 Paint Correction and More - Yellow

    Thanks. He just installed a brand new Borla cat back two days before so they were already perfect lol. The car has headers and is cat less so I'm sure they will be black with fuel eventually.

    Spring detail. Waxed. Now what?

    You need a Nanoskin wash mitt. First wash the truck with your normal wash mitt. Then go over it with the Nanoskin. You will be finished claying in 15 - 20 min. that will save you a tone of time.

    Over the past few days I had the pleasure of working on this C5Z. At right about 43k on the clock, the car needed some help to restore it back to its former beauty. The client wanted everything done; Paint Correction, Optimum Gloss Coat, Full Interior Detail, and an Engine Bay Detail. After...

    Had this 4th Gen Camaro in for a full two step paint correction and application of Optimum Gloss Coat polymer paint protective coating. The car has 27,000 miles on it but it certainly didn't look like it. Here are the products I used: - Foam Canon - Two Bucket Wash - Nanoskin Wash Mitt (Clay)...

    Optimum Gloss Coat Paint Protection Performance Testing

    The truck had a paint correction maybe a few months prior to applying Gloss Coat. I wiped the entire truck down with IPA and applied it from there. I'm not sure why it beads better then some expect it would. I followed the application steps supplied by OPT and that's it lol. Yes it is the old...
