Finally had the time to get out and detail the car. After a test spot found that Blackfire SRC Finishing Polish and a white CCS pad were all that would be needed to remove the swirls from the paint. The paint was in decent condition but swirled throughout, thankfully not too deep though. I...

Washed the car today with some Pinnacle Black Label Diamond Coating Shampoo. I have used this shampoo wash a few times and thought today would be a great day to get a before and after comparison shot of the water beading characteristics once the shampoo has been used. My car does not wear a...

Just got back from the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach and had a great time this year! Indycar, Indy Lights, ISMA Tudor United Sportscar Championship, Pirelli World Challenge, Formula Drift, and Stadium Super Trucks were all the different series racing here this weekend. Pirelli World...

I'm new to detailing and I have a few questions on polishing. First, I started out with a GG6" polisher with both a CCS orange pad and an Optimum microfiber pad paired with either BF compound or Menzerna SI 1500 and found that it would require 2 applications using a 5-6 pass section pass each...

First detail ever and I started with my dad's truck as a Christmas gift for him. He bought the truck used a few years ago and did not know the previous history of it. Ever since he had purchased it I told him it most likely had been repainted in a few areas since it didn't perfectly match and it...
