I was called by the owners of this Ivory white Infiniti G35 sedan to clean the car on very short notice. The owner of this car is on the road constantly for his job, living out of this car as he drives around the country. Unfortunately, this means that not only does the car get used alot, but it...

As I have been trying to find more ways to get my name and detailing business out, I donated 3 details to a charity auction partly for good will and partly to help word of mouth spread. One winner called, so I had the pleasure of working on this 2007 BMW 750Li last week, giving it an interior...

I got the opportunity to spruce up this Acura TL today as scheduled for the owner after agreeing on the service and price. The car had been sitting outside for a few months and was looking a bit sorry for itself so the owner decided that it was time for a cleaning. The poor car was hit by a...

I scheduled a detail with the owner of this VW Camper Bus and started on schedule this morning. This is bar none the most interesting vehicle I have detailed to date, and really enjoyed getting into all the nooks and crannies. The story behind it is that the wife found the owner's original Bus...

Sorry for being such a diliquent poster! I have been working my butt off to restart my detailing business since moving from Connecticut to Socal and have found it has been a bit of a challenge especially after enjoying such a loyal clientele base back North. The owner of this very nice ML500...

Here is another car I detailed, a 1999 911 (996) Carrera 4 with a 6 speed manual. I have always loved Porsches so this was a joy to work on and spurred me to do a bit extra for the owner. I figure that if I save time by having less surface area to work on, I would make up for it by spending some...

I detailed this very nice 2003 Mercedes s500 with the AMG appearance package and treated it to a full interior cleaning and a thorough wash, clay, and wax until a correction appointment is made this summer (you will see why later). I am kicking myself for forgetting my DSLR at school so I...

Today, I detailed a very nice Mercedes E500 both inside and out. It belongs to a very successful interior designer/decorator who uses the car every day to travel around. The car seemed to be fairly well cared for but as soon as I started tackling the exterior, it was clear that the car was...

Correction on a Saab C900 convertible: Another beautiful day in Socal, I had a fellow Saab owner ask about a tuition detail so I planned for him to come over so that I can show him the ins and outs of polishing with a DA. This was meant to be a one step polishing session with the intent...

When I ordered a few weeks ago, I was tempted yet again by the BOGOs so I got Collinite 845 since I needed to stock up but saw DP Waterless Autowash and never heard of anyone using it so I figured I would give it a shot. Appearance/Smell: It is blue in color, and has a minty fresh smell...

I have a quick question for those of you who use OS on plastic trim: does it create a "dressed" look when applied? It looks appealing to me as a way to protect the trim, but it would be ideal if it improved the appearance of plastic in addition to protecting it.

I have had this in my detailing arsenal for a few months now and have had enough experience with it to write a well rounded review for it. Pinnacle XMT spray wax is a nice way to add some additional protection to any existing wax or sealant layer you aready have on the car, but it can be used...

I now officially have my car at school (Pepperdine University) which I reluctantly agreed to in order for my parents to situate the garage which can hold 3 cars but one of the bays has all our surplus moving stuff. A view from my room (must have the car in my sights at all times lol.)...

I know most people probably don't want to hear a long drawn out rant by me so I will do my best to keep it short. I shipped my car to California via enclosed car carrier because I thought that would mean my car would be taken care of between CT and CA. I spent the better part of 70+ hours going...

The last time I was home, it was unfortunately raining the whole weekend so apart from taking it down to Saab of Greenwich for the o2 sensor, it didn't leave the garage. I had bought a new pre-wax cleanser/glaze and my new favorite wax **** Oro and went to town. I did the most thorough cleaning...

This week, I flew out to visit my family in Socal for the thanksgiving weekend after not seeing them for 4 months. I detailed both their cars (RX400h and LS430) before they were shipped to have them clean and very well protected since I didn't know when I could take care of them next. As...

I'm not sure which pads to order with my Flex 603 rotary and am looking for some advice! I have a bunch of CCS pads already but was wondering what those of you rotary users tend to prefer? Thanks.

I was looking through the Diamondite product range and saw the Glass Shield and Poli-Shield and am interested in finding out about these. I rarely see Diamondite mentioned at all, and was wondering if anyone has experience with these two products? I currently use Rain-X and am looking for...

I've been using Lexol and 303 protectant on my seats for a long time now, but feel like I need to give them a rejuventation at this point. I have products to clean, but not to really rejuvenate. So I searched around and found it hard to figure out which products are the best, so I have a list...

I am always trying to find the best products and techniques to apply to the cars I take care of, and I am thinking about my jeweling polish. Right now, I use PO87mc which is the finest of the Menzerna polishes. But I have been reading up about all the positive experiences with Megs 205. I am...
