I worked on this car a little more than a year ago to prepare it for concours and then a show circuit. At the time, it had been through a restoration and while the shop did an amazing job on the car and really knows their stuff, the man behind the polish left something to be desired. There

This is the second car I've done for this client.  He recently sold his 2016 Spyder in favor of this 2011.  He felt that he could better enjoy the car being able to drive it without the major depreciation of the 2016 model.  This car came in relatively good condition for a 6 year old vehicle

I am proud to say that I am normally not brand loyal.  I seek out the products that perform the best with my methods and I use them to their potential.  I spend a lot of time testing different products to ensure that I can speak from experience as to their suitability on a job.  That being s

I recently completed a PPF Prep on this car, you can find the post here: http://www.detailedcreationsmpls.com/blog/2017/4/23/lamborghini-huracan-ppf-prep It's always my preference to do these jobs in two phases, this ensures that if anything happens to the paint at the PPF installer, it can

When people think of using a brush in their engine bay, the initial thought it typically for cleaning.  It's a reasonable assumption that you will need to break out a brush or two along with some elbow grease to clean up the average engine bay.  You are likely to find baked on grime, fluid and

Despite having 8K miles and only being 3 years old, this car has been through some trying times.  The owner put some deeper scratches in the grill when removing the badge, the dealer put some nasty scratches on the hood that required a respray, the first paint shop couldn't get the texture r

After trying my best to persuade an individual that dish soap does not strip wax, to no avail, I find myself compelled to provide some useful information regarding stripping wax.  This is a bit of a vent about the wive's tales and the way information has been twisted over the years.  Keep in

The owner purchased this car new about 6 months ago and has decided it just does not suit his needs.  I was asked to get the exterior prepped for sale.  Because it has only seen 6 months of exposure and will be changing hands soon, a paint correction on the whole vehicle was not warranted, but

The owner of this vehicle recently purchased it after it sat outside for 4 years with infrequent use and even less frequent cleaning.  Audi paint of this vintage is well known for hard clearcoat and this was no exception.  Add the years of neglect and the brilliant black paint that shows eve
