Presidential Detailed: 2005 Rolls Royce PHANTOM I was contacted by a local Limousine company to fix some obvious issues on the paint of their Rolls Royce they had just purchased used from Miami. I was informed there were buffing trails, etc so knowing that Rolls Royce paint is generaly on the softer side I thought I would have it somewhat easy on a nice car. Boy was I wrong!

2008 BMW M6 in Black Sapphire Metallic by Todd Cooperider I’ve always loved the BMW M cars, and it was a pleasure to work on this beautiful M6 in Black Sapphire Metallic. This is an amazing machine at all levels…what’s not to like about a 500HP V10 motor coupled to an automated clutch and 7 speed sequentially shifted manual gearbox. It is capable of 0-60 runs in just 4.6 seconds with a 12.8 second quarter mile. Pretty impressive for a 4-passenger grand.. 더보기
1985 Ferrari 288 GTO by Todd Cooperider The Ferrari 288 GTO is an exotic homologation version of the 308 GTB that was produced from 1984-1986. The GTO was built to compete in the new Group B Race series and a minimum of 200 units were required for homologation.

2006 Acura TL in Nighthawk Black Pearl Part 3 by Todd Cooperider Dressing your wheel wells and tires A highly polished car without properly dressed wheels and wheel wells is like wearing worn-out shoes with a nice suit. Take a few moments to complete the look. The front wheel wells get dressed with Chemical Guys Fade 2 Black. It provides a rich, dark look and dries to the touch. For the tires, I prefer a little bit of shine so I’ll typically reach for Blackfi.. 더보기
2006 Acura TL in Nighthawk Black Pearl Part 2 by Todd Cooperider Using a clay bar to properly prep the surface Next up is to clay the surface to remove any contaminants that still sit on the paint. After you’ve washed your car and it is still wet, you can lightly glide your hand across the surface to see if it’s completely smooth, or if you feel any rough areas. The contaminants causing the rough feeling need to be removed. I recommend using a clay bar at lea.. 더보기

Gilmour touchless wash experiment Ok, so I wanted to get a feel for the best way to use my gilmour and to try and quantify what it can do. I know they're not as well regarded as foam lances on a pressure washer but as I don't have a PW I figured that I'd give it a go. I've never been one to get too worried about snow foaming but with the winter approaching I thought I'd pick one up to see what it can achieve. With a warm (ha!), .. 더보기
