    My Love Affair with the Flex XCE 125-8

    So I took delivery of my new cordless Flex XCE. I was so excited to get rid of the damned cord that I forgot about the other beef I have with my beloved 3401...the heat. I have only used the new XCE on one vehicle so far but I'd like to share my experience. For those who don't know me (and...

    Thinking of getting the XCE 125-8

    I'm thinking of switching from my beloved 3401 to the XCE 10-8 (cordless) model. I am developing a hate-hate relationship with my cord. I only own cordless drills which I hardly ever use. My concern for this unit is the battery run time vs charge time. I'm thinking that if I have a car with...

    An Alternative To Weathertech Dressing

    I love my Weathertech but didn't want to buy their Techcare dressing just for the mats...but, I was having a hard time finding something suitable. I had some Duragloss Flat Black and Rubber dressing. I put it on with a foam applicator. It looks better but not the "wet" look. I like it...

    Mint 2015 S8

    Hello Everyone! Yes, it has been a very long time since I've posted in general, and a long time since I've posted any work. I guess I just dropped doing it out of laziness. Anyway, Jim texted me the day before asking how I was and telling me about the post asking about me. I'm glad I was...

    Identify this pad

    Hello everyone! It's been a long time since I've posted. I was doing some major correction work on a car and tried this pad. I love it, but I can't remember for the life of me where I got it. It's a 5" white wool pad with a gray fabric backing to it. If anyone recognizes it, pls PM me with...

    A Special Treat: 1970 Olds Cutlass S

    This car was a treat for me to do for several reasons. The first and most obvious is that it was very cool to work on a classic car. Secondly, this belongs to a good friend who's owned it for years. He finally got it painted this year about a month before he had me coat it. The paint left a...

    Audi Q7 Gets Self Heal Lite

    This car belongs to my neighbour. They are very proud of it and decided to coat it with "Product not sold at Autogeek". Here it is as it arrived. Just dirty and luckily very little contamination. Bird Poop etching that I later compounded away. The vehicle was...

    Possibly The Coolest Thing I've Coated

    To be considered the coolest thing I've coated, it has to be better than a mahogany speedboat that I did last year. What could top that? Well, how about a completely hand built, custom designed electric car that is based off of a 1930 Bugatti Roadster? What's better is that my 80 year old...

    Glowing White: 2018 Pacifica

    This gentleman found my website when he was researching the very best protection for his paint. We discussed price/value and came up with a choice of Feynlab Ceramic. Considering that's topped with their incredible Top Coat, you've got an extremely potent combo for protection at a very...

    Makin A Blingy Benz

    I had the pleasure of doing a couple of his vehicles about 2 years ago. He drives 2 hours to see me and I really appreciate his loyalty. This is a 2017 E400. It needed to be compounded on the hood (see video link below), otherwise it was a single stage polish. This car was going to be...

    Resurrecting 2007 Escalade....Again!

    This vehicle belongs to a great customer who is always enthusiastically sending people my way. I had done the car for him in November of 2016, about 18 months ago. Those months had been hard on it. During this long, brutal winter, a broom had been used to remove the snow from the hood. There...

    Coating Wooden Speedboat Trim

    I had the opportunity a year ago January to compound, polish and coat a 1949 Shepherd mahogany speedboat. It had 12 coats of varnish but needed some TLC. Here's the link below, but the picture links no longer work, so here's a few pics of the boat job to get an idea...

    Clearing Old Stock: 2015 Challenger

    This gentleman had come to see me about 2 years ago when I was working on an Alfa Romeo. He was so impressed that he decided right there that I was the guy he was going to bring his 3 cars to. He ended up having a heart attack but has recovered and was now ready to have the first one done: a...

    Richy's Out From Hibernation: 2015 1LE Camaro

    I do enjoy taking the winter off detailing, not that I have much choice given that I live in Canada and work from my garage. I do like the break I give my body and gives me a chance to review what's new. A HUGE part of my distraction, since mid November was the addition of Stella to our...

    17 Year Old Pontiac Sunfire Wears Feynlab Ceramic

    This car belongs to my mother in law. I`ve typically used it for a test bed on new products and usually detail it once a year to apply the latest thing. Last year, I applied Richard Wright`s Gloss Shop coating to it. I must say, it held up well for the most part. Some of it had dropped off...

    My Father's 2011 GMC Sierra gets Ceramic

    My father is 80 years old and used to build hotrods when he was a kid. He's lowered this truck and had custom made fender skirts for it. Very unique looking truck as a result! I coated his truck at least 3 years ago. It was due. It also had some bad scratches in it from using the wrong...
