    Porsche 911 receives the CQuartz Professional treatment @KS Detailing, Long Island, NY

    I'll begin this write up by saying, I could work on Porsches everyday. I find the paint hardness to be just right, the iconic curves and styling. The owner contacted us because he was concerned about a few issues on his new 2015 Porsche Carrera 911 GTS. He bought it used with 3K miles and it has...

    MB C63 AMG saved from the dealership @KS Detailing, Long Island, NY

    A little backstory, my old car club buddy whom I haven't seen in nearly 10 years contacted me about his new car. He bought a Mercedes C63 AMG. Not the most expensive car but not inexpensive either, he still expected to get quality. He bought it from a high end dealership here in NY and assumed...

    Acura NSX gets corrected at KSD

    I got a call from a friend of mind that an NSX at a local dealership needed some TLC. The NSX for the last several weeks has been displayed front and center at the dealership without being roped off. Overtime sales associates have dry wipes down the car to clean off dust (instilling marring)...

    Tornador customer service

    I wasn't sure where to post this but wanted to give a nice review about the actually company tornador. Hopefully this is okay as it's a brand AG carries.

    Why Mytee why?

    If anyone owns a Mytee steamer can you confirm this strange design? My steamer has been leaking steam so I decided to open it up. Well 3 of the screws are Phillips head and the 4th one, well it made no sense. It wasn't quite a flathead just partially. I called a local authorized repair center...

    1969 Chevy Impala @ KS Detailing

    Lately we have been correcting quite a few classics as you'll see. We corrected a '69 Chevelle just last week and stay tuned to the black Chevy Nova SS in the back. Although this Impala is well taken care of, it has been sitting in storage for the past few years. The paint is not original, it...

    Correlation between the outside temp & panel temp

    Well it's summer and I've been noticing something the past few weeks. My panels are heating up after one pass with a polish!! Over the winter I could cut with M100 and do 3-4 passes and be cool/ warm. Now it's 90 + outside, most likely hotter inside the shop (atleast it feels like it) with high...

    I have had this discussion with many other detailers and have yet to come to a definitive answer to what defines the % of levels of correction.

    Any pros using the Rupes system?

    I've been thinking about trying out the system for awhile now. I have used their pads & polishes to polish but not to cut. After reading Mikes new book, which I highly recommended. It's very informative and easy to understand. I've thought about testing out the system exclusively. Right now I'll...

    What's your go to for ceramic clear coats?

    Just finished correcting a black MB with a ceramic clear. Hard clear coat, heavily swirled. M101 & MF did the job but took a lot of time. Seeing if there are any other combos to try out. Maybe just change pads, surburf, purple wool, xtra cut MF? Thanks

    Towel Marks

    Having a bit of trouble with leaving towel marks in soft black paint. Any tips to help reduce this? I'm almost positive the front end has been repainted because it's reading really high (250+ microns). I wash my towels properly so don't think that's the issue. Any help would be appreciated thanks
