2008 BMW 535i - Blue, by@m4gician This car was in decent shape. It actually is one of three cars I did today (3 in 1 day, rough:doh:). Nothing particularly wrong with it, except it hadn't been detailed since it was brand new and while car washed frequently (at a touchless or in the driveway)...

2007 BMW 335i - Black, by @m4gician Finally, the LAST car of the three that I worked on today. Man the day went by so fast. What a beautiful car. Even though I only drove it back and forth from the street to the garage, it's a great car. Nice 6 speed, very nice package built in. However the...

2009 Audi A3 - Black, by @m4gician This car was a car I did last summer. But after a Canadian winter, it needed a little TLC that a touchless wash cannot give in a quickie ;). This is the second of three cars I did today (3 in 1 day, rough:doh:). There was still a fair amount of contaminants...

Hey everyone, Again, nice to be posting up my work online for everyone to see. This car had just over 230,000km on it and from what I can tell had never been detailed. It's been washed, but that's the extent of everything that's been done to it. The owner was going to be selling it very soon...

Hi guys, I haven't totally disappeared, I just get really lazy when it comes to making and posting my write-ups. I'm ding this now because I have time, ironically while I'm at work :). Anyways, this customer allowed me to do their 2008 Acura TL Type-S in White pearl earlier and I'll have that...

Hey guys, I have Micro Restore (thank you AGO for the great deal), and I had always used it by adding 2 cap fulls to a load of MF towels and applicators in my washing machine. However, i didn't add ANY detergent, I just went through the cycle with JUST the 2 capfulls. Is that the right way to...

Hey guys, For many jobs I do, the 3401 is more then adequate to handle the job. From applying stage 1 polish, to spreading all-in-one polishes, I have found the 3401 to be durable,quick and easy to use. I only ever break out the rotary on SEVERELY gone paint, and I always caution the owner...

Hey guys, I use Snappy pad Cleaner from LC as well as the red Pinnacle XMT spray pad cleaner, now I know that they're not super expensive or rare or whatever, it's just I don't have a week or whatever it takes to ship them to me to get all my pads clean and dry for another few jobs I have...

Hey guys, I need your opinions on what I should be doing with Windshields to keep water from flowing right off, and not sticking or causing water marks. What I've done in the past is clay the windshield, and buffer apply Klasse AIO. Klasse didn't seem to last too long, and some of you...

Winter Detail: 2009 Audi A3 2.0T S-line (aquasilver) Hey guys, Nice to see you all again. Like many Canadian detailers, I was hibernating for the winter. However, I put together a winter detailing strategy that revoles around: 1) ONR and 2) Portable heaters. Anyways, I got the chance again...

Hi guys, Let me start by saying this is one of my favourite (accessible) cars on the road today. Should my Volvo quit on me, I'll start the hunt to find this exact car (G35 coupe in Black). What an awesome car in so many ways. This car was another referral to me, and the owner was a really nice...

AP Mobile Detailing: 2007 Civic White - The Works! (70+ pics!) Hey everyone, Edit: Car is 2007 not 2009, hit wrong key :) I've finally gotten around to using the new camera to photograph detailing jobs that I've been doing. Sorry for going crazy with the pictures, I'll be marking spots on the...

Hey guys, That rubber cap/tip of my eZ detail brush broke off, besides paying $30 for another one, what are my options so I can still use this relatively new piece of equipment?

Hey AGO, I have a customer who has a white pearl coated car, and I finished all of my DP sealant. All I have left is Klasse SG and a full bottle of Poorboys EX-P. Which should I use for best results? Can I top the Poorboys EX-P after I've applied it with Natty's red?

Hi everyone, This is linked to another car I posted as this car needed to be ready to attend a wedding, so a lot of pressure to get the job done and done well as the wedding festivities, make-up, hair and everything else were about to get started and the wedding is the next day with the vehicle...

AP Mobile: 2009 Chevy Equinox White - wash, vac & wax Hi everyone, This car belongs to a referral from a message board I'm a part of. Good news, the owner is getting married so she wanted her car cleaned with a wash, vac, and wax (I should rename my version of that package "wash, vac and wax"...

Hi everyone, Long time since my last S&S, but with my new P&S camera, I'll be posting a hell of a lot of pictures from every job I do from now on as a reference. Background: This car was a referral from an online community board. This car was severely oxidized, contaminated, and had swirls...

Hey everyone, I apologize in advanced for having to ask this embarassing question, but does any detailer have two pictures: 1 before, 1 after of a car from a full body position? I.e. a view of the vehicle that shows the front of the car, some of the size and the wheels? When I say...
