I don't think these guys will be getting acquitted. I'm sure many here like me remember the case of Rodney King. The difference is back then they waited until after the trial to protest and riot. Sent from my SM-G988U using Tapatalk

LOL! Thanks! The funniest thing was he found a receipt from McD's dating back to 2012. I swear I found the corresponding fries from that order. Looked like they were made yesterday.

Now onto the Interior Pics. Overall, it wasn't too bad. just needed a strong vacuum and a leather cleaning & treatment. It cleaned up really nice. I love the two-tone interior.

Any of your vehicles need a good interior clean up? I do plenty of those too. Here's another Clean & Prep for Sale or Trade this weekend, only this one had a focus on its interior. This is a 2007 Honda Odessy bought in 2006, 1 owner driven for over 160k miles and has stood the test of time against our kids and countless trips and sporting events for mom and dad as they are VERY active in sports. The owner self described the existing condition as "nuclear" but the good news is these interiors are made to come back from the dead with just a little effort. Evident from my before and after photos. Seriously, If your in the market for a $5k or less minivan (that's the est range in my mind) let me know and I'll connect you. Van runs great, has had all the typical services done, newer brakes, tires are good, etc. and the interior is now clean and fresh. Only for sale as they have two newer vans and no longer need the third. Here are just a few photos with some before ones at the end of the list. Quite the transformation.

Are you in the Market for a used Honda Accord Coupe? If so, FB message my Friend Greg. Greg has been out and about enjoying his recently coated Civic Si Sedan and is in the market to sell Tiffany Michelle's Super Clean 2015 Honda Accord Coupe. Coupes just don't work as well for infant seats I guess Prior to putting it up he opted for my Clean & Prep for Sale or Trade Package to get both the interior and exterior made like new. If you are interested in a GREAT looking coupe with mid 60k on the ODO, this one is definitely worth contacting him about. The inside is a STRONG 9/10 and the exterior only has a few very minor blemishes that any 5yr old daily would have. Thanks again Greg & Tiffany for once again trusting in my work and CONGRATULATIONS! to them both on the birth of their new Baby Girl! Here are a handful of pics for your viewing pleasure. The end result on the Exterior is a strong 8/10. Again, this is not a paint correction service, but it does remove oxidation, enhances the gloss and dramatically improves the paint clarity. Interior up next.

Northern Ohio originally. I thought he was in Westerville now. Not trying to stalk him but a while back when the Hornet videos gained traction, I saw his info and it was there. Perhaps he moved. Has like 16M followers so I'm sure his monetization of YT is big.
-
Haha! Thanks. They do have that potential. This one looked pretty amazing when done. The owner wasn't a super emotional guy but his grin from ear to ear was more than enough. He said none of the ones they showed him when he was originally looking looked anywhere near as good as his does now so for me that's a win.

^^ Given we're all getting old.....that should be the new CR Cover pick vehicle

We took a trip to Zaneyhood this weekend and noticed that people were clearly not used to driving around other cars as much as they should be. Lots of lane cuts and hard braking, etc. Guess having clear roads has skewed their ability to judge moving objects around them.

So a referral from a referral decided that after seeing his Friends AMG Wagon and the wife's Beautiful Q7, both of which I did earlier this year, that he was going to make the 2hr drive from Cinci, OH to play some golf while I removed the dealer installed swirls and uncovered what a Jaguar Finish should look like. This is a 2019 purchased in December last year. The most standout item on it to me are the wheels. The owner loves them too and asked that they be included in the ceramic coating package. This one ended up turning out perfect with a full 100% correction achieved with my Premium Enhancement Polish. Sealed up with two layers of Cquartz, the finish should remain pretty easy to clean for a few years. Windows and wheels were also treated and the trim up front, I showed him a few tricks to keep it clean and looking perfect. Anyway, onto the pics! BEFORE: Light dealer installed swirls were all over this thing Weather today was absolutely beautiful Gotta keep the grill/trim looking sharp 100% Paint Correction Achieved. Now the metallic flake really pops! The clarity that resulted was near the very top of what could be achieved with the paint
-
I'm with all of you, the wheels are perfect. Just a wee-bit low but again, he has to lift it 1/2" to keep the rub away. Color wise, I've never been a huge fan of red but THIS red is so dang nice. He's OSP and it's a good thing as his co-workers will see him miles away. LOL!

So my friend Rick who I've done several other cars for brought me his baby. This is hands-down the very best looking car for it's age that I've seen in a long while and perhaps the most desirable for me to pick if I could hand-pick one to have of my own. Truly timeless and stunning IMO. Inside and out this car is in better shape finish wise than most 1-2 year old cars I've seen. The Nappa Leather is as fine and soft and like new as the year is rolled off the line. This is his 2002 BMW M3 in Imola Red. As you can see, it has several subtle but tasteful modifications. What you can't see is the small VF Supercharger system located under the hood. I can't speak first-hand to it's performance but just a roll down the street to turn it around I can feel it's added power and torque ready to jump off the line. This one sounds awesome too but dare I say it looks better than it sounds. It's a garage queen seeing less than 5k miles per year and likely more wipe downs than washes. With that came years of swirls that while still looking good overall, the vehicle did lack that pure wet shine that comes with flawless paint and being a solid red would really awaken once polished and coated. To accomplish what he was looking for, Rick went with my Premium Polish Enhancement. We selected this as the paint is older and measured thinner than a full dual-stage correction would allow for comfort. Good news is the swirls weren't deep given they were done by hand simply wiper her down and I knew I could address them with relative ease. From there he went with a dual layer coating from Cquartz. I added in a nice trim coating over the few black-bits including the windshield cowling at no charge and also gave it's engine a decent once over and the trunk a solid vacuuming. So what does all the above translate to? Well, mother nature fought me off and odd with showers and mixed lighting but I think the pics show it off pretty well. As you can see, it was a swirl city: OMG that ride hieght, stance and wheels look so good. He does have to raise it up a bit as it did rub just a bit over his new Firestone Tires. Not a big deal as it's only about 1/2" or so away from perfection. I think the design is timeless and that this is perhaps the best looking front end on the 3 Series period. 19 years+ old and I am not kidding, there's 2 small chips on the entire car up front. The clear bra on there looks flawless as if it were done last week. I LOVE the color and the pure red done up with a great polish and coating is dripping wet in appearance. Mother nature and her mixed lighting but I still love this rear.... The quality of some BMW finishes leaves a lot to be desired but this one is nearly perfect in terms of clarity. Orange peel is near non existent. Perfection in correction achieved. only a few trace marks are left in just about 2-3 places. Many thanks again to Rick for the continued trust in my work. Looking forward to giving the M5 a refresh next week. I wasn't joking when I noted if you sell this one.....I'm buying it.

Wheel Medic has done right by me and many that I've sent their way. I'll be a future customer as my wife's wheels have met many a curb thanks to her not using the fucking self-park feature it came with
-
Thanks man! While the bumpers do show a slight difference, I think the lighting in the garage had a lot to do with that last pic. My toolbox is there and with the natural lighting from the open door, the paint really turns more of a baby blue hue vs silver. Outside it's noticeable but again, not so bad.
-
Now onto the AFTER pics: Thankfully Mother nature cooperated and gave me some sun but not too much and some blue sky to really make the blue tint in the color really pop out! 100% Perfect Paint Correction Achieved No sparing the clarity of this quality paint Thanks again to Rick for his continued trust in my efforts and of course to Eric aka EC E92 who's M5 I did a while back for introducing me to rick shortly after.

So a good friend Rick who by far has some of the coolest German Cars in his stable had me do another one of them for him this week. This time it's a newer to him Audi RS4 he sourced from the original owner in Chicago last fall. The car is really nicely cared for an doesn't appear to have been in a winter in the Midwest. Well cared for but lacking of any real paint correction or car the color just wasn't speaking wonders to what it could be if done right. It definitely needed to "pop" so that it's looks could match the sound of it's great aftermarket exhaust which at idle pales in comparison to this thing on the road. Anyway, Rick opted for my Premium Enhancement Polish Package as I felt with that I could achieve some pretty good correction without breaking the bank. He also opted for a dual layer ceramic on the painted surfaces. I'll be ceramic coating the new Summer Wheels when Wheel Medic is done with them. 20" RS5 wheels off a newer design will really set this one off right. I think he also plans on putting back the stock gloss black B-Pillars in place of the CF Look add on ones. BEFORE: The car lacked any sealant or wax and being it's a sit-outside car, it definitely started to hold onto a lot of contaminants. Next Post for the After Pics

Caught this monster earlier. Anxiety is still high.
TTQ B4U replied to Benner's topic in Pics and Vids
That's nothing.....when we were doing our remodel and pulled out the fireplace and ash pit it un-leashed hell. That one is half the size of the handful we caught over the course of a few days. Yes, I caught them. Being so big I wanted to catch them. Hairspray....kills them and mummifies them. I put them on my desk in my office to freak out the wife -
Looks awesome Clay. Now it just needs a little boost
-
Looks very nice and clean too. Nice pick up!
-
So now even the thread mutated. Fuck, here comes the end of the world. FWIW the Fly over by the jets was pretty cool. Beautiful day for it.

If you are looking for a good tint guy to save you some money, I have connected with Brett Ewing in Hilliard. He's like me, works out of his house, does it on the side and does great work. He's done like 4 cars for peeps I know and they are all done very well at a great price. 614-402-7936 or message him on FB.

Think about driving it [emoji14] otherwise wash and enjoy. Sent from my SM-G988U using Tapatalk

Now let's take a look at a series of AFTER shots. Polished, primed for the ceramic and sealed up with a 12 month coating, his vehicle is now 99%+ corrected and looking better than brand new. Most importantly it will be much easier to clean, should stay that way until next spring and is looking great!

So a good friend of mine Greg Janikowski picked up a new Civic Si last year but has been too busy with his new significant other and his Personal Training business to really help keep it in tip-top condition. Greg is as fit as can be thus it only makes sense to keep his car in just as good of shape right? The car was fine but lacked any level of wax or protection since it left the dealership nearly 28k miles ago. Dirt was embedded in the finish and water didn't bead or even sheet off it at all. It's a daily driver that sits outside due to limited space thus it needed some real love. The great news is the Crystal Black color is gorgeous when cleaned up and Honda paint is among the easiest out there to correct. The plan was to approach it with the most cost effective package, my Basic Clean & Protect, then to layer on a 12 month Ceramic Coating as a source of gloss and protection from the elements. The perfect package for what this beauty needed. Let's first take a look at a few before pics showing the car after a recent trip in the rain. Dirt just stuck to it like velcro and the contamination....was definitely in need of removal. This is especially important on Honda's and Japanese imports in general since they do have very soft and thin layers of finish. Once embedded, the contaminants will eventually oxidize, break through the clear and cause a complete failure. This is one of the main reason so many older ones have peeling paint issues. BEFORE:
