    Street Dreams Detail - Bentley Azure Full Correction

    2009 Azure in need of correction. This car was taken care of very poorly by a previous owner and several dealerships. Prep consisted of fully stripping the finish of all prior wax and glaze before correction. These wheels set the car off very well, not a standard option for any Azure, they...

    Why Did I buy a black car!

    Definitely Not for days like this... but more for days like this... The snow pics were taken a few weeks ago, funny how I end up taking very similar shots of my car at similar angles. Finally after several weeks of filth I was granted my wish of above freezing weather to wash my...

    Menz Micro polish vs. PO85rd?

    Im looking for a pure jeweling product to be used with a very fine finishing pad. I have narrowed it down to the Micro polish PO87 or the PO85rd. What exactly is the difference and which will leave a higher gloss finish after jeweling? Thanks

    Flex 3403 clicking noise???

    I broke out my new flex 3403 rotary for its first full correction last week. I used the polisher before on test panels and my own car with no problems and smooth operation. Suddenly in the middle of polishing the 3403 began to develop this clicking sound when I applied the pad to the paint, not...

    My Black Audi A5, winter protection detail

    I am ashamed to say yesterday and today was the first chance I got to "winterize" my car. We have already had our first mini snowstorm here in NJ, lots of snow and salt on the roads made real mess of things for my car which at the time was wearing almost no protection. Although the car has some...

    Yesterdays job, 2009 BMW 335i vert. in lovely spacegray. This is actually my brothers new car so as a favor to him I did a proper new car prep and winter protection detail.

    dsms detail - Dull Acura, Restored!

    This one was in pretty bad shape. The owner called me and said his paint was "dull" and asked if I could bring back the shine. I said the only way to fix dull paint is with machine polishing and that no wax or sealant will bring back the true finish of the paint unless its fully corrected and...

    dsms detail - MR2 Turbo, the swirly comeback**

    Always had a thing for the MR2, this one isnt my style in particular but it's still a terrific car and quite the bandit around a race track. This MR2 in not a DD at the moment and usually spends it time in a garage, but it being over 15 years old it has its share or wear and tear. One with the...

    dsms detail - Champagne Audi Gloss**

    This one needed quite a bit of work, unfortunatley the owner did not want any correction or polishing done to the car and needed it back the same day. The A8 arrived at my house around 8am Sunday. It was a chilly 50degree morning here in NJ that day...the last car I worked on was in 80+degree...

    Mercedes CLS 63 AMG :: Black Gloss

    This car was originally booked for a full wash and seal but upon picking it up at the owners house I saw that it was going to need some correction work. Having this beauty sitting in direct sunlight is the perfect way to show the owner its absolute need for polishing attention. I drove the car...

    dsms detail - *Porsche Cayman Perfection*

    I was very exited to start this detail. I knew I was doing a red cayman but I didnt know it looked like this! Heres the car after the wash, after just rinsing the car before washing I saw it was already beading nicely so I had to be sure that any prior wax applied was stripped off so I used...

    What can a Cyclo correct...take a look, you'll be suprised!

    I got my cyclo a few days ago and went right to work testing it. I figured the cyclo would be a simple "One Step" and finishing polish machine only and that any real correction work would need to be done using my rotary, but I was wrong. I took out my trusty test panel today and wanted to see...

    dsms detail- 25hr Correction :: Carbon Black M5

    The owner wanted his 2001 M5 (carbon black) perfected. Its been daily driven since 2001 to yet it still looked in very good shape, or so I thought. After washing and claying I found the car had heavy swirls all over and some deeper RIDS. Remembering it was 7 years old I figured the defects had...
