Man what a nice car. Unfortunately it needed some love after having been maintained (the term is used loosely) through the local car wash. Its really mind boggling how much damage can get inflicted in such a relatively short time. So jumping straight in the first order of business was a...

The brief for this detail was simply to get the paint sorted out. No engine bay, no interior, and even the owner was even happy to simply have a basic wash on the wheels - but I landed up giving them a proper decon and seal... well...because they needed it. Before During - the process was...

This daily driver had some work done on the passenger side rear 1/4 panel and unfortunately the panel beater left the whole car full of buffer trails. The paint was also heavily contaminated and so the plan was to get it clean and decontaminated, give the paint a simple 1 step correction to...

First off.... apologies for not having posted much lately... life has been busy and I am a bit (ok a lot) behind on these sort of write ups etc... This car was detailed at the end of June, and desperately needed it, as you can see from these pictures. So as always the...

Sadly the front end of of this car had been subjected to a repaint and the body shop really left these areas in a shocking state and so the objective was to sort these areas out and then get the rest of the paint (which wasn't too bad) mostly (it's still a daily driver) swirl free, and then...

This vehicle is still new and had been parked close to a company who were painting. Unfortunately for the owner, his car was covered in what appeared to be yellow paint. Fortunately however the company was more than willing to rectify the situation, and so the vehicle was booked in with the main...

I was just wondering how many avid photographers there are on here, and if any of you would be interested in posting up some of your pictures so that we can hopefully share and draw a bit of inspiration from each other? Not sure if something like this is allowed or acceptable, hence the post...

I was contacted by the owner of this vehicle who's brother had his RS3 detailed by a fellow detailer and friend in Cape Town, and she was looking for the same thing for hers. Up until this point, the car had been getting washed at a fairly well known local car wash, and so there were obviously a...

I was contacted by the owner of this car who wanted it cleaned up before a recent show n shine event in KZN (the detail was done toward the end of March). The the front bumper has had some work and as is often the case, the quality of the finishing by the 'body shop' was really sub-par -...

A good client of mine recently purchased this vehicle and knew that despite it being new, there would already be contamination on exterior surfaces and some below-surface defects like swirls and scratches. By removing these and then 'sealing it in' with hydrophobic 'wax'/'sealant'/'coating'...

This detail occured at the end of Jan, around 2.5 years after I originally detailed it in June '14 and it only needed a very light polish. Clearly employing decent washing techniques has paid dividends. I struggled to set up a shot to capture any swirls as there were hardly any, and the polish...

This was the headline on one of our local online news websites today in response to the current water shortages we are experiencing on our country. I have inserted a link to the article and hope this is not against the rules - if it is, mods, please forgive me and delete. You should never have...

This detail was actually carried out in early December last year. The objective for this car was not outright perfection but instead just a decent improvement in all areas. As always the engine bay was tackled first After carefully covering any exposed electrical bits, Carchem APC...

I detailed this car back in the beginning of December for an existing client of mine who was unfortunately subjected to some ongoing road maintenance right by his house, resulting in a car a lot dirtier than he would normally have it, and one with a lot of tar deposits all of the paint and...

A good client of mine recently purchased this vehicle and I was obviously excited to get the opportunity to get her looking better.... I had time on my side (a weekend, the evenings in the week that followed and then that weekend too) but unfortunately there is only so much you can do before a...

I've done a few of these ....and for the most part, the paint defects looked just like your typical VW swirls... unfortunately, that's not how they behaved... but more on that later. The wheels had at some point been refurbed, and there was some sort of thick plastic-y looking film type stuff...

I last detailed this car in Jan http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/show-n-shine/97891-titanium-silver-bmw-x3-detailed-again-lawrence.html and it had subsequently returned to the panel beaters after some drunk driver crashed into it :cry: I needed to clean up the typical mess most body...

The owner bought this vehicle second hand and after getting his new wheels and suspension sorted, the car was dropped off to be restored to a condition more befitting such a nice car, which in my humble opinion, must be such a nice daily driver for the petrolhead with a family. As always I try...

Man oh man what a nice car :drool: :drool: : Jag had, for some reason, not even been on my radar :oops: (not that I could afford one anyway :lol: ) up until the point the owner bought it around for an inspection.... not only is it one gorgeous car in the metal, but the 5l supercharged V8...

2 Subarus in a row....and this one is red (which I just love polishing).... so I was really in my element :grin: :hurray: And the fact that the owner had taken the time to come and spend a few days with me to make sure he knew how to properly maintain it afterward, made the detail all that...
