Hi everyone. I got a chance this week to try out the new microfiber pads from Lake Country and wanted to share my experience. I teamed up with my buddy Steve at Ultimate Detailing on a customer's 1967 Camaro that had received a repaint not too long ago. The body shop guys left a little to be...

Hi everyone! As some of you may know, I got a chance to go to SEMA last week courtesy of Autogeek via their video contest. I had never been to SEMA before so I wasn't quite sure what to expect. I brought along my buddy Steve at Ultimate Detailing since I knew another detailer would appreciate...

Hello detailers! I recently got my hands on the McKee's 37 Turbo Car Dryer and have been busy using it on many different vehicles. This is basically an improved model of the older Detailer's Pro dryer which I had the chance of trying out last year. The improvements include a shoulder strap for...

Hi everyone! I recently got my hands on a Rupes iBrid Nano Short Neck Kit and have been taking photos on various detail jobs of the tool in action for this review. I've already been using my long neck kit since its release so I'll do my best to incorporate both tools in the review and share my...

Hey guys. I shot and edited a short promo video for a local performance shop here in Houston. The subject was their twin turbocharged Underground Racing Lamborghini Gallardo. I was lucky to ride in the passenger seat of the car for the final session of the day. I've been in all kinds of cars...

Hey everyone! I detailed a 308GTS this week and made a 5 minute video documenting the process. The video is for a film class I'm taking. First time doing a detailing video so I had some fun with it. I ended up using the Rupes LHR15 MKII and Flex PE8 + 3401. I also polished many spots by hand...

Hi everyone. I wanted to share my experience with McKee's 37 360 as some people had been asking about it. For those who don't know, 360 is an "all in one" product that corrects paint and leaves behind protection in a single step. The sealant built into the formula is supposed to last for many...

Hi everyone. You may have seen my recent post on correcting and coating a customer's Camaro. I also did an engine compartment cleanup for him and used the opportunity to try out McKee's 37 Engine Degreaser. I'll keep this review short and sweet. After covering up sensitive electronics, I...

Hi guys! I did a one step correction on a Scion FR-S this weekend. It had moderate defects but the paint was very soft and easy to correct. I didn't take as many photos as I usually do for this job so I'll keep this post short. I gave the car my typical wash, Iron X, and clay decontamination...

Hi everyone. Recently a customer brought me their black Chevrolet Camaro for a correction and coating service. The paint was pretty beat up since the car usually gets cleaned at automated car washes. After a quick wash, Iron X, and clay decontamination, I brought the car inside for closer...

Hi everybody. As you may know from my previous threads, I've been testing out the soon to be released McKee's 37 lineup. I got to try out the All In One Headlight Restoring Polish and Headlight Protectant Spray today on a Porsche 996 turbo at a local performance shop. It's a 15 year old...

Hi everyone. As promised in my last thread, here is a quick review of the new McKee's 37 compound, polish, and coatings with a couple of extra bonuses. The car I worked on is a local Miata club member's 2001 Special Edition Mazda Miata equipped with a turbocharger and lots of suspension...

Hey everybody. I was recently given the new McKee's 37 products to try out and share my thoughts on. For those who don't know, McKee's 37 is a newly introduced lineup from PBMG. There isn't too much info out yet, but here is what I've put together so far: McKee's 37 consists of products that...

Hi everybody. I was graciously sent some Griot's Garage products to try out and share my experience with. I had already been intrigued by the PFM or "pure freakin' magic" towels on the What's New page so I was excited to give them a go when they showed up at my house. Let's see if they live up...

Hey everybody. I just wanted to share a few shots of some of the recent detail jobs I performed over the last couple of weeks. I haven't been taking as many photos as usual but here's what I managed to snag. 2016 Forester new car prep and coat service with CQuartz UK 2013 Volkswagen GTI...

Hey everyone. A local Z car buddy of mine recommended my detailing services to a another Z enthusiast in town. He recently acquired a 1996 300zx twin turbo with 33k original miles. I've never seen a low mileage 300zx like this in person before so it was a real treat for me to work on. Even the...

I promised Mike@DedicatedPerfection and Caleb@ImpeccableImage that I would share my experience using CarPro Essence with orange Lake Country Hybrids and my Flex 3401. I figured I'd make a new post with some high res results. I decided to compare the Hybrid's performance to a Meguiar's...

Hi everyone. I've been excited to try Essence for a while now, so I thought I'd share my experience with using it as a one step correction polish before applying CQuartz. I've already used this stuff as a finishing polish after compounding on another car, so this time I decided to experiment...

Hi everyone. I spent today detailing a Ninja 300 and testing out some HD Nitro Seal that I recently got my hands on. Nitro Seal is very unique 2 step paint sealant. It comes with two bottles of product marked one marked A and the other marked B. Product A must be applied first followed by...

I recently got my hands on some CarPro HydroFoam and decided to test it out on my daily today. I usually maintain this car with Hydro2 but it's been a few months since I applied any so it needed a a little refreshing. For those of you who don't know, HydroFoam is CarPro's new car wash shampoo...
