    3 month checkup

    In the beginning of january I did a full detail on my 335i. I topped with a coat of XMT carnauba finishing glaze with collinite 845IW on top. I've always loved the durability even in the florida sun that my car sees everyday. I snapped a quick picture coming out of work last night after it...

    2009 montego blue 335i

    Another long day of detailing for me! :buffing: After doing my BF's car last weekend i decided it was time to give my own car a shot at looking like a million bucks. The car had pretty significant swirling due to numerous dealership washes, nothing i couldnt handle though! I started off...

    LC pads durability

    I'm just trying to get an idea of the durability y'all are getting on LC 6.5" pads. I recently bought a combo pack, and i'm in the middle of the 2nd full detail with these pads and ever so suddenly my orange pad backing separates from the pad itself and the pad goes flying off into the grass...

    so i've been up here in orlando for about a month now. A month without anywhere to wash the car :( This past weekend I did get the chance to go home and detail the car (and see mommy, get money, food, wash clothes, etc). Ended up stripping the AIO/UPPx3 I've had on the car since late july...

    plastic dip

    I have a set of cold cathode flourescent rings installed into my headlights. To light up, I have them spliced into my parking lights. The splices then run into a set of ballasts and then go to the rings. These ballasts are really susceptible to water. I've already lost 2 to water getting on...
