Hi, friends!
So as you know, I’ve been super excited to appear as a guest on Mark Greene’s (former president of Griot’s Garage) podcast Cars Yeah!
Yesterday, we recorded and I was told I would be guest #923 and the podcast would be released on Dec 14. But, he thought it was so good, that he released it today.
Thank you for the support, and if you listen, I’d love to hear your thoughts!
Hi, friends! I am pleased to announce that I will be featured on the podcast CarsYeah! The interview will be next week and the podcast posted sometime shortly thereafter. It’ll be my third publication and the first publication with just myself as the subject!
I am mega nervous but also honored to be seen as an inspiring automotive enthusiast. And, of course, I’ll be posting a link once the podcast is up!
Thank you all for such marvelous support. ✨
It was mighty cold during my detail today and I couldn’t have loved it more.
Detail photos from a terrible photographer (aka yours truly). The last two photos are the before and after with my swirl-finder light. If you don't understand what you're looking at, it's a close up of the hood's paint with my light being held right above it. Ya know when you pass by a car and see the circular scratches around the sun's reflection? You can see that in the before photo. The end-goal for many detailers is to get rid of those imperfections. You can see the achievement in the second photo. Drive pretty ✨
Just before heading out to my client’s place yesterday 😌
A detail selfie with the Leaper! 😂🐆
✨ My first client in Monterey! ✨ After doing a small presentation on Meisters last semester for an Excel class, my professor approached me the next class meeting requesting that I bring the business up next semester so that I could detail her and her husband's cars! So yesterday, I finally got to detail her 1996 Jaguar XJS Convertible. It was a refreshing break from studying for finals and I'm incredibly stoked about the results (and she was, too!).

Stoked that I got to help a friend in need. It’s always a shitty feeling to look at your car and feel “meh” about it, even after a wash. I’m here to help drivers think “Yep, that’s my car” when they see it.
What wax would you recommend for black paint on a new car
Interestingly enough, the fam at Meguiar's say that synthetic wax looks best on dark cars and carnauba wax looks best on light cars (in other words, go with synthetic!). I'd also get my hands on M21 synthetic sealant to really help protect the paint. Currently my fav stuff 👌🏻However... lot of cars straight from a car lot may have already seen bad detailers or people who don't know how to wash a car without scratching it. I hope this isn't the case with yours!!
On the Porsche you detail. What polish and wax do you use. Also can you get the same finish just polishing by hand only.
Which Porsche? The most recent? If yes, I used Meguiar's D300 (Ultimate Compound), M205 (Ultra Finishing Polish), and Meguiar's liquid synthetic wax. Getting the same result by hand will depend on your patience, your technique, and how soft/tough the paint is. But, it is achievable most of the time.
Is meguiars smooth surface clay kit any good? Or would you recommend something different. Hope you can help.
Yes! I find a lot of claybar kits are similar, so the brand is up to you. The only tip I would recommend: you can dilute the Quik Detailer spray at a 4:1 ratio(you'll have more to work with and it'll still be slippery enough for your claybar). Don't forget to take the tag off the microfiber towel! 😁
I love detailing for this guy. As a part of my tip for detailing his cars, he takes photos for me! "Interior and Exterior Detail, 1996 Porsche Carrera, by Meisters Paint Care." www.randesignstudio.com
The more Porsches I detail, the more I fall in love with them. First row: before, after Second row: before, after Last: 1996 Porsche 993 Carrera C2 The first two rows are close up before and after pictures of the paint. The after photos are only after compound, which causes a bit of hazing (which polish and wax fixes to give it that black "wet" look) The second row of pictures are a bit difficult to see a difference. First picture: If you look along the outside line of the garage door opening reflection, you can see scratches. Second picture: You can now see the scratches are gone and the reflection has much more clarity. More photos to come. ✨
Late night detailing 😅
Any recommendations on what to use for a faded/grayed white single stage paint?
A car that I did recently that had the same thing going on was ryannnwith2ns‘s e28. I used Meguiar’s White Wax on it (its compound, polish, and wax all in one… I don’t like the idea of 3-in-1 products but i can swear by this one!) on Meguiar’s yellow foam (polishing pad). With single stage, the paint tends to be a little soft so you want to start out in a non-aggressive way (your pads WILL turn the color of the car! Do not be alarmed by this!). I do recall using M100 on the hood and roof of the car (with Meg’s burgundy cutting pad) to really get a perfect finish, then with synthetic wax on Meg’s black foam pad. With white wax areas, you don’t need to finish with wax because it is a 3-in-1 :)
Another way to approach this is M100 on Meg’s yellow polish pad or burgundy cutting pad, then M21 on yellow polishing pad, then synthetic wax on black foam pad.
*** When using M100 (I urge you to use M100 because the professional Meguiar’s line contains no silicone… Super important in body shops) make sure you have a stiff brush or air hose to brush out or blow out the dust each time you switch cutting areas. Important for two things: 1) allows you to work at the areas with consistent cut, and2) when you remove this dust, you are removing the paint you took off (which is an inconsistent compound that is not M100).
This video is literally everything I learned AT Meguiar’s and still continue to use today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyHHto0FtHg
The whole video is pretty golden, and how you use M100 is the exact same way you use D300 (which is explained thoroughly in the video), and M21 is used the same way as the Ultimate Polish!
Friend scraped her rental car pretty bad so I halped out ASAP before she had to return the car… Haha! 😅
