Hello all! It's been a long while since I've posted as I haven't really been detailing much the last few years, but I have 4 cars coming to me and decided to buy a Rupes 15 Mark II HD. I still currently use Surbuf pads and M105/205, but I'm curious what's come out in the last few years that...

Hey Mike, or anyone else who may know the answer to this. I have a flat-black primered C10 short-bed pickup on bags that has silicone soak-in stains from a previous car wash... My question, how do I safely remove the stains WITHOUT causing any more damage to the user's black primer coating...

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...

Heya there everyone. Been a LONNNNGGGG time since I've posted anything, but that's only because I've been SLAMMED with work. Trying to keep up. Anyway, on with the story. To start, this is only a TASTE of what I'm going to post. There are literally over 100 pictures to this detail, but...

Okay all, so I've FINALLY gotten my website up and fully functional. The last bit I was waiting on was for the gallery to actually have something in it. Please take a look-see and tell me what you think. I know I need more pictures in the gallery, but for now, at least people can see the kind...

So this is a record of a set of headlights I did on a 1998 BMW 528i. Once the lights were corrected, I used Hotrod's sealant on them. This is the 3rd set of headlights that I've actually used this particular sealant on. I have noticed that several of the sets of headlights I've done in the...

As the title of the thread states. Just looking for opinions on my new card design. I love it and my designer is extremely talented. I only need to give him very basic ideas of what I'm looking for and he comes up with the design on his own. I make a minor tweak or two and he's got it...

The owner of this vehicle was referred to me byRandy, the service advisor at Crossroads BMW here in Lynchburg, VA. The owner of this vehicle has several cars that he wants me to do some work on, but this was the first of them. He had a few marks and scratches here and there that he wanted...

So Jonathan and I are working on a 1999 Mercedes E320 in pretty rough shape. By rough I mean bad...even after polishing we're finding it very difficult to find enough "good" spots in the paint to keep our motivational tendencies rolling forward. It's not terrible money at all, and the customer...

First and foremost, I'd like to personally thank Mike P. and Barry Theal for their input and advice on this vehicle! :D This customer is a collector of trucks and SUVs it seems. ;) He has 6 trucks, 3 of which are Land or Range Rovers, a Mercedes SUV that looks a heck of a lot like a Jeep, a...

This car is from Bavarian Trade. The lot I do work for. They got it at auction and let me just say, it's a beautiful vehicle that need quite a bit of correction work to be "right". PROCESS: - Wash via 2-bucket method with Super Suds Car Shampoo and MF-chenielle wash mitt. - No clay was...

Okay, so I picked up a new dealer the other day who decided to try out my headlight restoration services on several of his cars. The first one, and the worst, is this 2004 Mustang GT. Probably a very dramatic turn around for most of you, but I need to get these things to where they're perfect...

Okay, so I can't claim to know all of the Kevin Brown Method, but I did use it today on a 1999 VW Passat and I must say...this method is NOT hype. I used less than half of the M105 I would normally use and it cleaned the defects out of the paint as well as any other technique I've used to this...

This very nice gentleman, Randy, was a referral from Mr. Mark Barker, owner of M.B. Euro Service here in Lynchburg, VA. Mark owns the 1987 Mercedes Benz 300SDL I posted a while back. Anyway, this customer actually has 5 cars in total that he needs detailed, but I will only be able to do 3 of...

So this vehicle is owned by a very good friend of mine. It's actually his wife's car. We've been friends for about 13 years. Anyway, she took this to another "detail" shop here in Lynchburg to get it washed. Let's just say if this were my vehicle, this place would be in small claims court in...

Okay, so John and I received 2-each of the redesigned Lake Country Hydro-tech pads. 1-Cyan and 1-Tangerine each for a total of 4 pads. We were asked to test them and test them hard, so today we were asked to work on a 2000 BMW 323i Station Wagon...and it's black and SERIOUSLY messed up in...

John and I got asked to do the 3rd car for one of our garage buddies. We did his wife's 745i, his M6 and now this 2000 Dodge Durango 5.9 R/T. He's already had us wash and lightly detail the interior on the 745i since we polished it out and we've been asked to wash and do a heavy interior...

So...John got a call from a customer. Their dog had been sprayed by a skunk and she had to put him in the 4-runner to get him home. Luckily, the seat was somewhat protected by a seatcover, but the stench was EVERYWHERE...YUCK!!! We were asked to try to get the smell out the best we could...

So I did a few "freebie" headlight corrections back in the day when I was just starting to do them. I chose a few folks from my street who, in all honesty, would have had to replace their headlights had I not done what I did to them. This customer was a referral from one of those folks I did...

Okay, so it's been quite a while since i've posted a detail by John (VR8) and myself. So here goes. Here we have a 2001 Chevrolet Monte Carlo (Non-SS). This vehicle was actually purchased by a friend for resale. He got a great deal on it in the condition you see it in in the before pictures...
