    2008 Corvette Z06 Black beauty

    This car was brought to me for a winter storage prep, and bringing the paint back to where it was when he bought it. He had been being pretty careful, by using the 2BM, but no Grit Guards, and I don't know what kind of soap, wash procedure, drying procedure, but I know he was using Nu-Finish wax...

    1974 Jaguar E-Type

    Nanoskin Mega Trend

    I have been wanting to try this coating for a long time now, but with the price at $170.00, I didn't want to be the first person to try it out. Recently, AutoGeek had a sale for Buy One, Get One Free on them, putting the cost per kit at $85.00, which was reasonable, but still with no results...

Upon arrival, and inspection, We both decided that a 1 step...

    2013 Roush Stage 3 Mustang Show car

    Recently, I was contacted by a friend of a previous customer, and set up an initial consultation. His car is a 2013 Roush Mustang with almost every option available, and it is a weekend toy/ show car. It never sees rain, and only has 929.1 miles on it, so it wasn't TOO bad. His main...

    1984 AMC Eagle. It has a single stage Almond Beige original paint job that has definitely seen better days. It is his winter beater, so he didn't care to do a full correction on the whole car, but he did give me free reign to play with a few spots and learn about Single stage paint. I only...

    New guy from CT
