Wifey's car was fully corrected 1.5 years ago. Over the course of that time, swirls and marring have slowly crept back in. On top of that, we had to get the rear driver panel repainted due to an accident, so the swirls from the body shop have been there since late last summer. I finally had...

Hi all... Been a while since I posted. Marilyn's evolved a lot, but my love for detailing hasn't changed. 2 of 3 vehicles clayed and buffed. Clayed using Chemical Guys (CG) Clay pad (love this stuff) and ONR. Lightly buffed using Flex VRG with LC Gray Pad, Menzerna Super Finish Then Marilyn...

Well folks, as most of you know, I crossed over to the dark side the other day. I finally was able to purchase my very first supercharger kit. I've been toying with the idea for years... and almost did it last fall, but due to unforeseen circumstances, put it on hold. However, the stars...

My first experience with this last fall was not that impressive... but this summer I gave it another chance, and now it's slowly creeping up my fave sealant list. It's durability, slickness, and it's flake-popping ability are its best assets. It's very comparable to 4Star UPP actually... I'm...

Few pics to showcase her swirlfree paint... sun shots on various panels. This weekend, I did the following (after a wash and dry) CG Glossworks Glaze via PC, 5" black CCS, speed 3.5, no pressure... After 6 hours, applied CG Blacklight via PC, 5" black CCS, speed 4, no pressure... After 8...

Finally got a chance to do a full correction on Portia. Dealer had some scratches/swirls on it, but nothing too major. Was only sitting on lot for a couple months, but amazing what dumb dealer detailers can do to a car. My process was as follows: 1) Wash/dry - 2 bucket grit guard, with...

Since getting Marilyn out of storage this year, I simply did a deep clean inside and out… then did my yearly "jewelling". I did the same for Tori. I used a LC ccs gray pad, then PO106 (Super Finish). Both cars have had their major corrections last year or so. Marilyn: Last weekend she was...

Hey gang... sorry I've been awol. Wasn't in the mood to detail during winter. Now that spring's here, I have corrected Tori again for the season, and now it's time for car shows again. Marilyn is now coated in 2 coats of CG Blacklight (BL), a day of curing time in between. Am taking wife...

Playing with my new 50mm 1.8. I have yet to open my new Lightroom... then with new LED fogs and the rest of the 50mm shots... love this new lens.

I couldn't sleep... for other reasons, so I decided now was the best time to perform the install. Bought LED's from VLED's for rear plate lights and reverse lights and dome lights. Then 6k LED fogs from iJDM. Install was a snap... I had more issues trying to remove that stupid trunk plastic...

Finally got a chance to put these on. They're gunmetal Drag DR34's, wrapped in Hankook winter i-cepts. I think they are a perfect compliment to the Silver Moon paint. Drove them a couple times in 25 degree roads. So far so good. First light snow is forecasted for this upcoming week. I...

As most of you know, I am an avid photographer... am still learning a lot, but I love the challenge. I currently shoot with a Nikon D60, and my trusty 18-55VR lens, and my CPF. I have had it for over 3 years... but the reason for this thread, for xmas, I am debating over what new "toy" to get...

Wow, that's 2 mods in less than a week. We need to thank our wives more often... lol. That being said, I received my VLED switchbacks today. I installed them in about 10 minutes or less. I guessed correctly on the polarity of one of them, then switched for the next one. Easy Peasy. I must...

I was as giddy as a Walker at a Leper convention! (it's homage to The Walking Dead on AMC, for those of you in the know ;)). This is what I saw Tuesday pm, on the Fedex site as I watched it and was clicking refresh every 15 minutes. LOL. So I took Tuesday pm off to perform some surgery on...

After prepping Marilyn last week... it's Tori's turn. I love the drastic differences between silver and any other dark color. For a daily driver, just can't beat it. Washed with Pinnacle and ONR, dried with V7. Coated with Jetseal, then 2 coats of 845 the first weekend. The next weekend...

Washed her with CG honeydew/ONR, dried with FK425. Then 2 coats of Souveran on top of 4starUPP. Rims sealed with V7. Tires coated in DP Tire Gel.

Since I just got my winter rims last week, I am debating when to mount them. I can't wait to see them on. Anyways, I thought I would use this weekend to opticoat my rims before I put them on. I will be doing this on all my rims, but I thought I would try them with the winter set. I cleaned...

Here's another pic..... I just laid 2 rims on one side of the car, to get an idea of how they will look. Man, I want to put them on NOW...lol. But no winter yet. Pardon the crappy cell phone pics. I rushed home at lunch when the wifey said they came in. I will post more pics once I...

Getting this post in before NOON central time... GO COWBOYZ!!!!! :) Crush those BUCS! p.s. ok maybe I shouldn't have divulged that I am a die-hard dallas fan :)

Lol... Thought I'd get you guys with the title. :). Don't worry there's lots of pics! Hehe It was time for Tori's first oil change, so I thought I'd chronicle it. I was going to take her to the dealer for the first oil change, but I figured eh, why waste time and money. Real men do it...
