Here is a recent job I did, as you can tell its very messy..... And here are some after pictures obviously....... Not perfect, but much better. Some stains were permanent.

I have a 2003 Ford Mustang GT, that has chrome wheels, and I believe they are clear coated. When I bought the car, the wheels were severely scratched, I am guessing its mostly washing induced or they polished them with something too abrasive. They almost look like they have been cleaned with...

Well, I have concluded my original spar urethane longevity test with the two year update. http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/show-n-shine/19021-headlight-restoration-new-uv-sealant-idea.html And now I am ready to try the unpolished version, and see how long it lasts, but I am testing it head...

Here are a few recent jobs I have done. 1956 Chevy Belair. This was a light paint correction and wax job. I also had to do some light over spray removal. The owner wanted it to shine a little more before he sent to the auction. I could not get any outdoor pictures because of the 40-50 mph...

How long to wait before I can wax fresh paint? I was wondering if there was a time to wait before you wax/seal a freshly painted panel. At one time I heard you were suppose to wait 6 months before waxing on freshly painted panels. But I have also been told that it does not matter with todays...

My van was recently involved in a hit and run accident and caused minor cosmetic damage to the rear of the van. The drunk driver crashed into my parked van, bounced off it and hit the house. Only minor damage was done and nobody was hurt thankfully. And the cops arrested him when he got stuck...

Has anyone else tried the Ultimate Protectant Dash and Trim Restorer on exterior black trim? I tried it, and it seemed to streak alot. I tried it on neglected smooth black trim and it seemed to do ok, but streaked. And it was hard to remove all of the streaks. I also tried it on a mirror and...

There have been a lot questions on how to clean carpet and upholstery in the past on this forum and others. But there are few write-ups and explanations of how to go about cleaning seats and carpet. The "new" fabric in vehicles nowadays stain up very easily and are so difficult to get them...

I was wondering if anyone else had problems with M205 turning into a watery mixture, and reducing its polishing ability? I bought a gallon of M205 during the summer, and it was ok at first but now its very runny. Surely the shelf life of this product is longer than a few months. I always kept...

I was just wondering, for the guys that detail full time, how do you get the word out about your business? I have opened my own business this year in march, and sometimes struggle to get work. Advertising is too expensive for me at this time, so what would anyone suggest to get the word out...

I just went to the Good Guys car show in Kansas City, held at the Kansas Speedway. It was awesome, its definitely a must see event if you live in the area. It rained most of the morning, but there were still a lot of cars that showed up. Here are a few of my favorite pictures.

This was a unique vehicle, it was a Navigator/part limousine. The owner told me it was a very rare edition. This was the first one I had seen. Now, down to business. This was a full interior and exterior detail. The leather seats were horrible, very grimey and dirty but the rest of the...

This car is my sisters 1998 Mercury Grand Marquis. It had been owned by older people previously and I could tell no maintenance was done to the paint at all. There were a lot of scratches and swirls, I did not get the best before pics. I think if I wet sanded a little, it would have been...

This Camaro had not been detailed for a long time. The customer is trying to sell the car, so she had me work some magic on it. It got a full paint correction, headlight restoration and full interior cleaning. Paint correction process: Wash Clay M105 wool pad M205 foam pad 3M ultrafine with...

Let me start off by saying that this truck was for a local used diesel truck dealership. It had over 100,000 miles and was used primarily as a work truck. It looked like they had washed it with a bucked of dirt, sand and rocks a few times. Perfection was not an option on this truck. Too...

I did this one earlier this year, it does not have a clear coat, it turned out pretty good. Sorry I did not get any before pics. I used the system one polish set, and finished with the Klasse Twins and Pinnacle Signature Series II This is actually my dads car and it took several days to...

I recently came upon this canopy online, and have never seen one like this before. Anybody else have one? Thoughts? The price is good. Plus I think it has 6'5'' of clearance. Product Details

This is a method that I got from someone from another car related forum. Supposedly the UV protector is the same as what companies are selling for alot of money, but you can run down to home depot/hardware store to pick up everything you need for about $20-$25. My process is basically already...
