2006 Harley Davidson Sportster

Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010

This Harley was on a cross-country trip and had never been detailed before. I had to have the Harley detailed by a certain time, so the owner even helped out with some of the minor detailing. It took less than an hour to remove the swirls, scratches and holograms with an orange pad and a moderate polish. The real work came in for polishing the chrome by hand. I got help with the windshield cleaning, tire waxing and leather conditioning. When everything was cleaned up and polished out, I applied the wax and took the final pictures.

June 2010 Cars & Coffee

Saturday, June 5th, 2010

On June 5th, I attended my first Cars & Coffee event at Brier Creek and saw a wide assortment of vehicles. As this was my first time at the event, I spent all my time checking out the different cars and inspecting the condition of the paint, exterior plastics and interior. Several of the car clubs were talking amongst themselves and watched as I passed by their cars looking at some the most unusual places. As beautiful as these cars were, sadly they all had their flaws. I’m not positive if the owners realize the condition of their car, but every car on the lot was complete with swirls, holograms and minor swirls that could easily be polished out. I stopped to listen to stories about restorations and installs and learned about the several different car clubs and enthusiasts. At the next Cars & Coffee event, I will bring information about OCDetailing, pictures of my work and products to show some sample work.

Here are some of the cars that caught my attention:
