24.01.2022 Taking detailing to the next step. Attention to DETAIL is EVERYTHING!

23.01.2022 Things are getting serious now.... RUPES - THE BEST OF THE BEST Formed in 1947 Milan, Italy, Rupes has been renowned for their absolute cutting edge tools with unsurpassed quality. They are the first ones to have made the electric sander, the first to produce and use plastic housings for tools, the first palm sanders and the first gear driven polishers. In today’s detailing game, there really is no comparison to Rupes, is without peers and the best that money can buy.

23.01.2022 Detailing a freshly painted gel-coat boat.

22.01.2022 Some before and after shots of heavily oxidised paint.

22.01.2022 There’s detailing, and then there’s detailing. Notice here, two photos of the exact same area. One is under natural and fluorescent lighting and seems perfect. The other is under a high powered and unforgiving LED light. Notice the swirl/fine scratches in the paint. Not all light is created equal, but if you can get it looking good under an LED light, it’ll be good under any light, especially anything coming from a natural source.

20.01.2022 Not all defects are visible under regular sunlight. Using a LED lamp to show up fine scratches w/before and after shots of paint correction.

18.01.2022 Headlight restoration before & after.

16.01.2022 Attention to detail is everything (pun intended)! A look at an interior vent and the work that can go into just one small section with a toothbrush, cotton buds, cleaning solution and a plastic rejuvenator. Shot of one vent before and after, another vent during the rejuvenation process.

15.01.2022 3 shots before, and 3 shots after:

13.01.2022 A detailer’s way, saves the day!

12.01.2022 Got to work on this beauty today, an SLK 350. Interestingly, this is one of only two of this model/year in the country in manual.

12.01.2022 Sparkle, sparkle!

09.01.2022 EXTREME PAINT CORRECTION - WET SANDING FOR PAINT RESURRECTION I have never seen paint in such a poor condition. It seems as though the previous owner had attacked the paint work with a scourer! All photos of the roof prior to correction, was subjected to a coarse pad and compound with the buff, but literally didn’t scratch the surface (pun intended). At this point it was obvious more aggressive corrective work was required: wet sanding of the clear.

06.01.2022 Another detail done.

06.01.2022 Did this one a little while ago and shows heavy oxidation and wash mark removal.

03.01.2022 Coming soon....

01.01.2022 With Jason Rose, the RUPES global director for training. Well done to RUPES Australia for putting on an awesome seminar today!
