    Default Cool/ challenging details by Obsessive Compulsive Detailing

    I started a thread for the LT1 vehicles that I have detailed which sadly has only had one car. They are getting pretty hard to find around me. So I decided to post some of the more unique or challenging details I do. Feel free to ask about techniques, tools, or chemicals used!

    I will start out with one of my favorite cars I work on LSA supercharged SS that putting around 800hp to the wheels. I have done a complete correction and ceramic coating on it twice so far.



















    383, Eagle crank, scat rods, Mahle pistons, 238/248 .565 cam. 3k stall, AFR 210 heads, Pacesetter LT, 58 MM TB and a few other goodies.

    Here is another fun one. A Jayco Greyhawk which took two days by myself.

    I love cleaning vehicles!!
    At least when the person that owns them cares.

    I'm a detail freak, I never even thought about having to do a motor home. The worst I did was a semi. That was when I was in high school, guy paid me $300 a day and he helped. Took like 3 days haha. Totally sucked though, lots of polishing aluminum wheels and acres of chrome.

    it wasn't terrible. It just was very time consuming. I had to switch between my two buffers to make sure they didn't overheat though.

    I learned the hard way. I completely destroyed my porter cable from over heating it. It was also fun doing the top since im only 5'6" haha

    I have a 2016 Silverado with leather. I have 20,000 miles on it and had it almost a year, my question is when should I start using a leather balm on the seats or should I just continue wiping down with damp cloth?

    you would be better off with a modern leather conditioner. Modern leather is almost never completely leather, but is usually vinyl or a blend. The only vehicles I really use balm on are king ranches.
