There is one product that every detailer both professional and enthusiast should be without. Its inexpensive, easy to find and has numerous uses. Perhaps you’ve heard of detailers talking about doing an “IPA wipedown” before waxing, and the product they are discussing has been a trick of the trade for years. The “IPA” is traditionally a mix of 50% Isopropyl Alcohol and 50% water. This inexpensive and easy to make
When time becomes a factor and you need great results that also offer long-lasting protection, “AIO” or All-in-One products are great products for this type of detailing. There are many great products like this on the market, I have a few that I am particularly fond of using in my shop and one of them is the One-Step Sealant from Griot’s Garage. I pulled this AIO out for a detail
Michael put the last of the finishing touches on the 911 Targa and he took it outside to get some cool pics of the finished vehicle. This car did have some slight oxidation and being of a darker color, it affected the gloss factor of the paint dramatically. You will notice a rich, deep gloss in the paint and the reflections he pulled out of the paint are extraordinary. The
Tire dressings always compliment a great detail by giving tires a finished look. But depending on the tire dressing being used or if applied to heavily, it can often give undesired results. If applied too heavily, it can cause the dressing to sling across the sides of the vehicle. It can also make it messy when changing out a tire, it can make tires look extremely “greasy” and ultimately most
We had this 1983 Porsche 911 Targa in our shop to be detailed. The paint needed correction and the vehicle had been repainted at some point during its life. Enter Michael Barney, Detail Specialist here at SweetCars. An experienced detailer and certainly no stranger to paint correcting Porsches, Michael had his work cut out for him on this Porsche, but he transformed this old Targa into a show winning piece.
Back in November, a client brought his 1986 Ferrari 328 GTS for a detail. The customer’s goal was to get his 328 back to the shape it was back in the 80’s. I was honored to be allowed to help him get his car back to its original form. It took 3 days to get this Ferrari 328GTS back to its former glory days. I documented the process this Ferrari went
When I first saw this car when it arrived for detailing, It looked be in great shape. The paint was glossy, it was clean and it sounded fantastic due to the Borla exhaust rumbling as I inspected the car. Once I was able to see it under a swirl finder light, I found the paint to be in less than spectacular form. The current owner did a great job of

(Continued) Now that the engine is dry and clean, it’s time to dress the engine bay. Use a dressing that will not leave a greasy look and feel. Most vinyl and rubber dressings, such as Armor All, will leave a residue that can attract dust and dirt, and it gives the engine a greasy look and feel. A high-quality dressing, such as Griot’s Garage Engine Bay Dressing, gives you a
Engine Detailing As Car enthusiasts, we’ve all seen this scenario played out time and time again: Everyone is gathered around, admiring a car. Model-year guessing commences, and some folks call out specs such as horsepower and paint codes. At some point someone says, “Pop the hood”. But underneath the hood lies an engine that is anything but spectacular in comparison to the rest of the car. The owner simply did
I certainly love Ferraris, always have and always will. I had the pleasure a while back to detail this Ferrari 612 Scaglietti in Rosso Corsa for a client. The vehicle was well cared for but was in need of paint correction. Here are the “after” pics of that detail. It was a fun car to work with. -Mike
