BMW M3 Jet black

This is a BMW M3 in JET BLACK. ( this paint is a REAL B*TCH to work with) The owner scratched one panel badly. However he didn't want to have his car detailed but the thing is that if my correction is too agressive, one panel will look better than the rest of the car and you don't want this. so I had to blend the finsh with the rest of the car while still correcting the scratches haha! here's the pictures!

before:









Final result :





Thanks!

Acura integra

The story behind this integra's hood is that my step-father wanted to move the recycle bin and what he did was lifting the bin over the car but instead of that, he put the bin on the hood and drag it completely to the other side, you can see the damage by yourself!

Before:




After:




and no there was no hologram left on the hood, flawless finish

Subaru WRX impreza

here's my last one for tonight!



The owner just bought the car and thought it would be a good idea to get it detailed and I totally agree with him!

So we went ahead and did a 1-step detailing, debadging the trunk, I used the DP max wax and i also polished the fog light cover and headlight as usual!

1. Initial condition :

Overall the paint is really faded and swirled, In other words, the color is not vivid enought! Wheels needs love too!







! Lot of swirls!







2. Debadge.



No more badge and glue was also removed.



See, how it blend nicely with the paint after the compound ?





3. Headlight + Fog light!

White, you simply can't see with the cover on! It really need a good cleaning.


50/50 shot.


after :


Left is done, right is untouched!




I had to remvoe the cover and polish inside and out and I also lightly polished the fog light itself for a clearer result and to improve safety too!





A lot better haha

[cobrAA]

dude, you should come down to the Toronto area and do our cars !! plan for it this summer !!

You are the fifth person to ask me this request. I will do it. I would just ask a deposit from everyone because I don't want to take any risk to drive 6 hours for nothing. I might sleep in a little motel at 60$ a night for 3-4 days and I will have a blast with my ontarian gtrc members!

Blue Alero V6

Blue Alero. I don’t think that car has ever been polished before so it was worth it.

This is what I call a ‘’ winter protection treatment’’. It consist of:

- A good cleaning
- Clay bar
- 1-step polishing ( to deeply clean, correct approx. 50% and remove oxidation)
- Then, I top it with a high-durability Sealant that will hold up all winter long against salt and such.
- Polishing the headlight ( we drive a lot in the dark in winter)


Before:














One 50-50 shot. See how the reflection is improved, paint is darker and less swirls obvisouly!



Deep scratches.



There’s still somes but hey, it’s so wet anyways, you can’t seem them :P



Good difference between the B-pillar




Finishing with Quality sealant. It make the pearl pop.









It’s not because he has winter tire with no caps that I won’t detail his wheel well and protecs the tires!
















I think the car look a lot better than it was 3 hours ago! It was well worth it! Great reflection, paint is darker which look better. Reflections are more detailed.
