Hello Autogeek!! It has been a long time since I have posted, but I wanted to get back into doing some write ups, so here we are. So lets start out with what we have. Vehicle: Porsche Boxster (Silver with Burgundy Convertible Top) Service: Complete Onsite detail Products used: Wheels were...

I had a funny thing happen last night while working on a black Grand National. The paint is soft, and mars easily. I also am getting paint readings that are lower than I would like to be able to go with a heavier compound. The past evening, I decided to try something different. I grabbed my...

I have one client who continues to collect muscle cars and I have the fortune to be the one who takes care of them. Here's a couple from the weekend. The GTO was the first car we ever detailed for him. You could scroll back thru my post and find the write up. Needless to say, we fully sanded and...

If you have been on any forum long, you hear alot about "One step" or "Two Step" to LSP. I think recently a good number of guys are getting great results in doing this, but I think that we may be selling some details short. Lately I have seen where the in-between step has gained a considerable...

These wheels were part of a full correction and coating on a 2009 Lexus RX350. I wanted to focus on the wheel cleaning, because I actually think this is an overlooked service that consumers should have performed at least once a year. As you will see in the pictures, this was a wheels off...

Customer called to get this very large but completely tricked out GMC truck detailed. This is our introductory detail, it consist of deep cleaning the exterior, and protecting the paint and also a light interior detail, vac and wipe with small areas taken care of. This is a great detail for a...

This one came to us after the front end had been re-painted. The owner wanted the original paint to match the new paint as much as possible. The original was single stage and had oxidized over time. He was able to come by the shop for an evaluation and a test spot,so I knew my plan of attack...

Question for those who may know. I sometimes wash my own vehicles at home, not the shop, so in doing that, I don't always use the same chemicals I have at the shop. One in particular is the off the shelf Megs All wheel and tire. My question is since that off the shelf works so well for...

This particular Ferrari (Key Magnum P.I. theme) came to me thru a local restoration shop Carolina Classic Restoration. We have worked with them before on other vehicles for their clients. I got the call that this Ferrari was coming in for some interior repair and that the owner had mentioned a...

I had coated this vehicle about a year ago. At that time, we coated it with OC2.0, so this time around the owner decided that he wanted to remove that coating and apply CQuartz Finest He also wanted to change the look of his wheels, so we sent those off to have them powder coated. While the...

This little gem came to us thru a contact at the local Cars and Coffee event. We spoke and talked about what the owner wanted out of the detail. He loves this car, and loves to drive it in parades, but the key word is "Drive." We agreed upon a single step/Hybrid polish and then coating it with...

Some of you may remember the black "69" GTO I did back during the winter, it may have been a year ago. This is the same owner, but this time we are all Bowtie and white! Hard to pick up the defects, but they are there. The process would be to do a thorough decontamination on the vehicle to...

I received a phone call from the client. He explains that he has this black AMG and that he wants the works, and he wants this new coating that his friend has told him that I have. Okay, we talk a bit and he states that he wants inside and out, and I give him a quote. A couple of days before the...

I had the pleasure of correcting this vehicle during the past week. The owner actually dropped it off while I was at DetailFest :xyxthumbs: The process would be to perform a single stage polish on the paint and coat with CQuartzUK. From a previous visit, I knew the process because we did a test...

Had a great experience this past weekend in sunny Stuart Florida at DetailFest, Thank you Autogeek staff who made it happen. I had a blast meeting the TV celebrities, and also talking to the leaders in the industry. One thing that did make my heart sink, on the first day as we were leaving, we...

Hope you guys enjoy this as much as I enjoyed working on this beauty. I will not go into what this car is, you guys know. I will go into the fact that the owner is a Porsche mechanic and he bought this car from one of his customers. Anyway, the PCA Carolinas Region meeting was this past...

I know Meguiars, and I do like using Megs, but does anyone know of other products that are SMAT? I think 3D Products as well HUMP

The owner of this vehicle is a repeat client of ours. He picked up his Cayman and immediately gave us a call to determine the correct way to start his journey with this beautiful vehicle. We agreed on a New Car Prep, which would include a light one step polish to remove any wash induced marring...

Got the call to take a look at a recently purchased GTO. This one will be coming in for a multi-step paint correction, interior and complete protection. Stay tuned for full before and afters as well as a write up on the process to bring this black back to looking like an endless pool of water...
