A new client of mine recently took ownership of this 2010 Porsche 911 Turbo Cab, he soon contacted me about doing a paint correction detail on his new purchase. At first glance, the 911 seemed to be in good shape but with my trusty Brinkmann I was able to see that the car needed a lot of work. Some dealerships have inexperienced personnel that prep cars for delivery and in

Every vehicle requires regularly scheduled maintenance, but for some vehicles things can get a bit more interesting, such as this 2005 Maserati Quattroporte. This Maserati was in for an oil change, oil filter, pollen filter, tire balance and replacing the spark plugs. Being a Ferrari derived engine with Pininfarina’s styling, this car is stunning and fun to drive. The engine is set farther back to improve the overall balance of

The new “Wash & Wax” from Griot’s Garage provides a great wash soap with the added benefit of a wax for those situations when time is
Last June I had a 2004 Bentley Continental GT in Diamond Black for a full detail including paint correction. Bentley clearcoat is definitely one of the hardest clearcoat finishes around. It takes the right combination to get it corrected and once this vehicle was corrected, the owner did a great job of maintaining it to avoid scratches and swirls. He brought in to me recently to do a maintenance detail to
I’ve recently detailed a Honda Civic Si for a client who has kept this vehicle meticulously detailed and for a 2009, it was in excellent condition. The paint was maintained by a another detail shop and although the car had a shiny clean look to it, I noticed that there were traces of light scratches and swirls all over. The color should of made it easy to see them, but the scratches

One of my clients called me up to have her beloved Audi RS4 in for a detail consisting of Paint Correction, Engine and Interior. For an Audi that gets to stretch its legs out on the race track during the season, its been meticulously cared for by its owner.

I while back I had the pleasure of doing an engine detail on this gorgeous 2001 BMW M3 in PhoenixGelb Metallic. The owner had called up a few weeks ago to schedule some paint correction on his M3 to get it ready for the car show season. This BMW M3 is a definite head-turner, and correction on the paint would make it even more spectacular. BMW is known throughout the detailing world for having one
