I recently completed this two day detail on a Porsche Carrera S. The black paint was in need of correction to get the car looking it’s best. We have a full write up on this detail coming to Detailed Image’s Ask-a-Pro Blog soon! The article will feature the detail steps along with the before and after pictures. A link will be added to our Featured Media & Press page when the article go live. Here is three pictures of the results! The car was topped off with Swissvax Shield wax for the win!
Just recently completed this Harley Davidson detail! “Yes, I do bikes to!!!”
It was a great change from the cars and emphasized just as much effort and time as a car to complete. The detail was around 20 hours and received 22PLE coating to the chrome and trim. The gas tank and fenders were waxed by hand after corrected. A full article will be coming out on this detail on Detailed Image’s Ask a Pro Blog! Stay tuned, as I will update this post once it is up!

Today’s clean up on two Porsche’s. Track ready GT3′s, wiped down and slightly polished up. Now ready for Car’s and Coffee this weekend to display…. Then back out to the track!
Track cars need that special attention as well and added protection. They may require a different sort of detail than the normal daily… But like any other, they still benefit whether they’re wrapped or not. Helping to make the clean up after track day a bit easier.
For these two today…. the front nose clips and window’s needed some extra attention. We’ve heard guys are cleaning up rubber debris and other track types of tar with WD-40. “NOT HERE.” We know WD40 has its place… But, we’ll keep car care products on the clean up shelf for today. The polishing on these two cars today was done with Swissvax Cleaner Fluid and a foam polishing pad. Swissvax Cleaner Fluid is great for this. And safe on all paint…. Unlike WD40 that will act as a UV enhancer when back out in the sun if not properly cleaned off fully. From this detailers recommendation to keep vehicles unharmed…. “to a degree with track cars” Here it is!!! “As my tip for today.”d
Have a Track Car? and looking for detail assistance? You’ve looked at the right place! give me (Brian) a call!
This past weekend, May 25th 2013 was the Nurotag Event in Orlando at the UCF campus. It was a very cool event featuring all types of cars. From import tuner cars to super cars, they had it all out there. The event took place in the parking garage next to the stadium. Great location! All the cars were covered and in the shade to spectate upon! I loved this, giving that it’s hot as hell this time of the year. Being in the parking garage also hide a lot of the paint defects that a detailer such as myself would normally noticed. “If they had them or not?!?!” The parking garage made every car look amazing “paint wise…” needless to say, EVERY car was amazing! You have to appreciate the art of such talented builds! Stance, Lowered, Turbo’s, Wheels, Audio and so much more!!!! Here is a few pics I grabbed from the event!
This RX-8 had just recently visited us for a detail a couple weeks back! Was corrected and topped with Swissvax wax!
Our buddies from the Tampa and South FL Automotive Club in the last pic!
I recognize this R8…one day I may get the write up done from it!
If these types of events fancy you?!?! You can keep up with the rest of whats to come from them HERE @ Nurotag.com ! I’ll see you out there! Thanks For Looking!
Now that Memorial Weekend has come to an end…. Lets get back to work! #Detail #Detailing
3M has designed a product called 3M Paint Defender. A spray on clear film designed to last up to a year. Giving our situation in Florida with the seasonal love bugs… I don’t believe a full year is accomplish able? (Cars commuting at low miles may get that one year of protection) We have been testing this film, and so far… we are happy with what we’re seeing.
Do you have a track car…. Are you getting ready for a long road trip…. or just trying to save your paint through the love bug season????
This could answer all the above! We will be adding this as a service very soon!
The application process including “full prep” is around 16 hrs (2 days)
I will be adding another post in a few short days to come. We will add the durability and effectiveness, once we run this car through it’s complete testing.
Till then… Feel free to contact me with any questions. (Serious inquiries only)

Just recently completed this BMW 335i with 70,000 miles. The car was pretty severely damaged with large amounts of scratches and swirls. There was a lot of wear and tear on this vehicle but I was able to bring some life back to it!
Here was a detail from a while back….. a GT500 Mustang that came in for 22PLE Treatment. The car required a decent amount of correction to the paint before laying glass coating. The Stang was thoroughly washed and decontaminated, masked off, polished out and treated with a semi permanent coating…. “22PLE” to the paint, wheels, metal and trim.

This detail took place in the West Palm Beach area of Florida. A 15 hr detail, covering as much as could be covered in one shot. This car received a full interior detail and about 90% correction to the paint was achieved. The paint was a bit finicky in some areas but still came out looking great. No cool after shots or sun shots of this one as it was super late when the car was finished.

We recently had a New Car Prep and 22PLE Glass Coating Treatment right before the Holidays. This vehicle came from Daytona to our facility in Orlando for a two and a half day stay treatment. This Honda had just under 1000 miles on it as it was a new purchase. The customer and I shared some emails a couple several weeks before to get this car started off on the right track for vehicle protection.

This 2013 Ford Focus ST received a New Car Prep along with a full 22PLE Treatment. The detail started with a wash and full decontamination. The wheels were removed and coated inside and out with VM1 Metal and Wheels Coating, as well as the pretty cool tail pipe on this car. (designed to withstand high temperatures) The paint received a single step polish with Sonax Perfect Finish to get the most of this beautiful color to “pop” and really stand out. VX1 Pro Glass Coating (for all paint finishes) was then applied. Finishing up the exterior of the vehicle with VR1 Trim Restore and Coating (for all plastic trim) and BOOM!!!

AOWHEELS QUICK POST! ENJOY!
First car to be done in our new shop!!!
An extensive Paint Correction on a Jaguar XKR. A little over 20 hours of correction time using M105 and Meg’s Cutting Disc. (3″ & 5″) Followed up with Scholl’s S30+ with Meg’s Finishing Disc. I found this to be a great combination for this soft body Jag. Then the car was gone over with Swissvax Cleaner Fluid and topped off with a very wonderful developmental wax from Swissvax USA. All the exterior trim was coated with 22PLE, VR1 Signature Trim and Plastic Restorer.

Its always sad to see a vehicle that has been cared for for so long go.
After almost five years of tending to this Lotus Esprit’s good looks…. Its come time to be passed on. Like most exotics, they get passed on from one privileged owner to the next. As far as myself “The Detailer of this car” It saddens me. This one will be leaving the state and may be a long time before I see it again. Before walking away from it and after one last detail, I grabbed some final pics to share!

Recently had the pleasure of correcting this rather newish Aston Martin DBS carbon black edition! This was an exterior detail to remove scratches and swirls and some of the factory D/A wet sand rids. Yes, only some… the entire bonnet and front bumper is covered with clear film and thought it would be best to get a little more life out of it before removing it. The clear film did however need a bit of correction on it as well. Swissvax Shield Wax was the choice of protection in this detail!!! A great choice of wax for a car that gets used regularly! And “I must say”… It looks Phenomenal!!! The DBS also got some great protection to the convertible top! Overall time on this car was around 12 hours.
