    Trashed Java Black Pearl Subaru WRX

    Yes, it's a Subaru but the paint was trashed and the owner wanted it fixed before he left for basic training. I have never seen this black with gold metal flake before. Apparently, it was only offered for one year by Subaru. Swirls and buffer trails greeted me when it pulled up. ## CWG by hand...

    2003/2004 Sonic Blue Cobra by ZAXJAX

    DonkeyTuna dropped off his Sonic Blue Cobra to detail before he sells. The original plan was to spruce it up to look good. After a good wash, I couldn't just spruce it up. It was previously detailed I assume judging by the buffer trails on the whole car. Plans changed after seeing that, and I...

    Water spots and I'm stumped!

    I did a 1996 Laser Red Cobra last night and was stumped. I talked with the owner and he showed my the roof, hood, and trunk deck lid that were covered in water spots. No, problem, I used a rotary with a white speed and Optimum Polish at 1500 and nothing. Switched to an orange pad with Optimum at...

    Lexus RX 330 and my first time using a rotary (ZAXJAX)

    Well, I took the plunge and used my Makita rotary for the first time, on a customer car. I did this car last year, it was dirty and had not been taken care of. The swirls were light and minimal and very hard to see with overcast skies and being white. I love my new Makita...

    Rotary tips

    I just got my Makita and done plenty of research. I've been practicing on my DD F-150 and on low speeds, the Makita does more paint correction than a PC ever could. I know the basics, keep the speed low, never stop and all keep moving, pay attention to the 12-3 area and keep the pad tilted...

    Bad Karma when detailing

    I don't know if my karma or zen was off kilter but I couldn't catch a break Friday. First, I plugged my extension cord in and had no juice. I had a cut in the cord with no electrical tape. Thank goodness my customer had a spare. Next, while washing, the water pressure dropped to nothing. I...
