    2010 Cadillac Escalade -- Black

    Friend called me up and wanted to get his Escalade cleaned up, and it had some areas of deep scratches. Since I couldn't just spot buff it and leave the rest untouched, I went over the whole thing. This was my first go at using HDSpeed and I must say I am very impressed. The goal wasn't for a...

    Lincoln MKZ -- Tan Interior Nightmare

This is a 2008 Lincoln MKZ that has not been cleaned since purchased new. And it has all light tan interior. Spent about...

    Sanding through clear with 2000 grit?

    Quick question on this.... I had a chip on a corner of my fender which I dry sanded with 2000 grit to smooth the edges of the clear. I touched it up with paint (dark shadow gray metallic) and clear mixed 50/50. I let it dry and then wet sanded (to feather out the touchup) and buffed. However...

    Hyundai Sonata Detailed

    Couple of quick shots of a Sonata I did back in July. Interior wasn't bad, all black and just needed a wipedown with APC+ and Invisible Glass. Outside wasn't too bad save for some minor swirling, customer just wanted light polish. Washed with Meg's Shampoo, clayed with generic mild clay...

    1999 Cobra Detail - 7years sitting

    Little background on this car: This is my buddy Matt's 99 Cobra that he has had since 2002, and has only been on the road for the past 9 months after sitting a little over 6 years, so it's got it's fair share of built up dirt. In addition, Matt's a tech so dirt and grease is common place. This...

    Road Paint!

    Must've caught either some not-quite-dry road paint or washed off watered down paint, but I got it EVERYWHERE on my Cobra. I've removed most of it from my paint, but my main problem is in the wheel wells. My front fender wells now have a white/gray color to them because they're covered with...

    1998 Lexus ES300 (Ongoing Thread)

    I marked this as ongoing because I will be working on it in the evenings after work, unless I get few more hrs free on the weekend. This is my mother's car, a 1998 Lexus ES300, with around 75,000 original miles. It was repainted about 2-3 years ago after a tree fell on it (yes, really) and...

    Detail: 2005 Chevy Cobalt LT

    Hey guys it's been a while since I've posted anything on here. Just today I did my buddy's sister's car, a 2005 Cobalt. Car is in pretty good shape but definitely hasn't been cleaned since it was brand new I think. I didn't get a ton of pictures, but I got the ones that counted. I spent a good...

    Please don't tell me I'm the only one...

    Well guys, my curiosity (well, boredom) got the best of me. I had some stuff I wanted to play with and I didn't have time, or daylight, to work on my car. So I took the buffer to my license plate... Sorry I do not have any before pics, but it was really dull, kinda scratched, lot of built up...

    Thanks AutoGeek!

    I just had to stop by to lend some "atta boys" out. I joined up here about a year ago to just really look at the cars and how clean they were. I have been washing cars for about 7-8 years and thought I knew a good bit. Man was I in for a surprise. In the past year I have learned so much and...

    Small Detail - 2007 Hyundai Tiburon

    MY girlfriend bought it brand new and we have washed it pretty religiously, so no paint correction was really needed for it, plus I don't have a buffer yet. The inside was already done last week so no pics of that really. Inside of windows done with Invisible Glass Outside done with IG then...

    What is this made of and how to care for?

    My girlfriend has a 2007 Hyundai Tiburon GT, and it's got the "leather" and sport cloth seats. It's starting to show the leather shine on the outside edge of the bottom of the seat, and it's just dirty in general, plus it's getting a little hard on the tops of the rear seats from teh sun...

    Why I like Meg's #26

    Only good pic for now, I'll post up some more when I get it into more light. But I like the reflections shot. No Polish. Wash with Black Magic soap and waxed with Meg's #26. More to come when I order some stuff from AutoGeek.

    Meg's #26 Yellow Wax??

    I coouldn't for the life of me find insulator wax (usually it was at Advance but I think they stopped carrying it) and I haven't placed an order at AG yet becuase I'm saving for the PC... So I picked up some Meg's #26 yellow wax. I haven't read too much about it on here as far as people using...

    New guy here.

    Hey everyone. I'm Dan, 23 from Pittsburgh. I found this site via a few guys who detail over at pittspeed.com. I drive a 2004 Victory Red Cavalier LS Sport. I'm not too too anal about the finish, but I like to keep it clean. My uncle details at a local dealer and I help him out on the side...
