I had detailed this camaro back in Febuary, and recently he had a SUV back into his front bumper, so he took it to a Chevy Dealership to get it fixed. Well they fixed it.. and he told them specifically not to touch the rest of the car since he had it detailed. Well.. of course they had to cut...

What do you guys use for cleaning glass? I have Diamonite's Perfect Vision and it works great, but I cannot get the embedded dirt, oils, etc etched into the glass to come out. I see there is clay for glass but is it the same clay you use on your paint or what? I tried claying a section of...

I noticed that I never had any pictures of my personal car, only alot of pictures of customers cars haha. I detailed mine back in January, which was 4 months ago, last coat of wax applied 2 months ago and these pictures are after an Optimum No Rinse wash. This was taken around 6pm so the sun...

This was taken by my Motorola Droid.. which has a 5mp camera but look at that finish! Well worth the price IMO!

I have done a few customer cars that seem to have an area of heavy swirls, or just slashes across the entire car and sometimes I have to really just sit there and work in one small area at a time to get them out. I eventually get them out, but I feel that I am being inefficient. There has to...

A few of the car over the weekend. I didn't have my camera on me, only had my phone camera, with the overcast so the pictures aren't spectacular but it works. Looks muuuuch better in person, as with all the other jobs that we do :) clickable thumbnails:

Has anyone heard of this wax? It is sold in industrial 1gallon sizes and my Zep rep gave me one of these for free to try out. I have tried it on my girlfriend's 2008 Accord and it is very wet upon application, you can actually see water beads above the wax. I thought I was using too much but...

My favorite Color, black. This car has 1100 miles on it, is a month old and had gone through 2 washes before I laid my hands on it. The car rolled off of the truck while the owner was signing papers. Upon first inspection during the day, it looked pretty decent. So I brought my light...

Just wanted to share with you guys a customer's GT500 I did last weekend. Unfortunately, it has been raining here for 2-3 weeks and had tons of overcast so I could not get BLING pictures, but wanted to share anyways. I started in the evening so the before pictures were taken in my garage and I...

I recently have been using Wolfgang's Swirl Remover, and it has been working great. This entire week it has been rainy, cold (40s F... that's cold here in TX, don't make fun of me) and humid. Detailer's worst nightmare, but it is a sunny forecast this weekend and there is a huge Cars and...

I posted this over at autopia and had some responses but the consensus is 50/50 on whether I should try using a swirl remover and polish to clean it up, or not waste my time and take it back to get repainted. Here's the situation. I recently got some panels on my car painted black. When I...

Hey everyone, being new to the whole detailing process, before only working with simple cheap buffers they sell at Sears and Home Depot and simple swirling compounds with polishes and waxes, now I plan on doing some work on the side. I had worked on my own car, friends and family members and...
