    QUESTION - Can 2020 Corvette C8 carbon fiber package be coated?

    I had a customer contact me to detail his C8 Corvette. He was looking for a simple interior/exterior and I tired to sell him on a ceramic coating since a car like that deserves the best protection it can get. He originally purchased a coating through the dealership when he bought the car, but...

    Interior Detailing Light Recommendations

    The lights in my garage are fairly decent, but still don't light the interior as much as I'd like. Does anyone have any recommendations for interior detailing lights? I've been using a hand-held light for a while now and I tried a few head-lamps but always felt they were cumbersome or slowed me...

    2019 GMC Sierra AT4 - Paint, Wheels, Glass COATED!

    I've been sitting on this one for a while(far too long), trying to finish the video from the detail. I told the owner I wouldn't post any photos until I had the video done. Finally wrapped this up the other night, so I can post freely. Overall this one was not a in bad shape, but I still had...

    My 2020 work summed-up in a single post

    My 2020 work summed-up in a single post 2020 has been an interesting year for most of us. Detailing has been a side-hustle for me, and working from home has allowed me to dedicate a few more hour to detailing and my family which has been nice. I’ve been fortunate enough to see an increase in the...

    2013 Chevrolet Camaro - CSL/Exo

    I had this Camaro come in for a full interior/exterior and ceramic coating. The owners son got him his package as an early holiday gift. It had been cleaned and buttoned up for the winter, so they had to pull it from storage. It was not very dirty when it arrived, but the paint needed a little...

    3D BDX vs McKee’s Extreme Iron Remover – Paint Edition

    A while back I bought 3D BDX because it was a cheaper alternative to Iron-X and I wanted to give it a try. Over the past year I’ve been happy with BDX but wanted to try something new to see how it stacked up against what was out there. I’ve been a huge fan of most things from the McKee’s line...

    2005 Porsche Boxster

    My neighbor left his new-to-him Porsche Boxster with me a for a little TLC while he was away. Interior just needed to be freshened up a bit, but the exterior needed a good polish. The car showed signs of being detailed not long ago, but the clear bra needed some work and there was no LSP left...

    Toyota Camry - Freshened up

    This vehicle belongs to a family friend who just wanted it cleaned up a bit. The car had just over 100k and they wanted to put on some protection for the winter. I don’t think this car had ever been detailed prior, but they occasionally wash and vacuumed it. Before: Iron...

    Metal Polish for Pontoons

    My in-laws would like me to detail their pontoon boat before they winterize it and put it away for the season. It doesn't need much, just a good cleaning. I primarily detail vehicles, but I wanted to do this for them. I would like to lightly polish the pontoons and need to get a metal polish...

    2016 F250 Platinum in for spring cleaning

    This vehicle was in for a detail back in October. Maine winters take their toll on any LSP with the salt and snow, but Collinite 845 held up remarkably well. My uncle (who owns this truck) certainly does his share of traveling with it in the winter, so it was time for another deep clean...

    My first "commercial" detail

    So, I've been detailing my own vehicles and family vehicles for the past 10 or so years, and I've really started to step up my game over the past 2 years. To supplement my income I’d decided to start detailing on the weekends. This was my first paid “client” (my uncle). The truck was more dusty...

    My wife and I are building a new house and I've decided to start detailing on the side to supplement our income (and as an excuse to spend more time in the garage whet its finished :laughing:). I do have a full-time job as a software developer which I really enjoy, but I am going to start this...

    Has detailing your car turned you OCD?

    Maybe I am the only one, but I never used to be a clean freak. But once I started detailing my cars I've noticed that I get bothered if other areas of my life are not clean and organized. I should follow-up that previous statement that I do not judge how others choose to live their life. I am...
