Top 25 Pics from @Sanctiond Instagram's Page

In a short amount of time, Sanctiond Automotive has emerged as one of the top car care companies in the automotive industry. Started by Mister Cartoon, an automotive enthusiast and extremely talented tattoo artist, Sanctiond was created to preserve automobilies and amplify their beauty. I decided to create this post to highlight the top 25 posts, in no particular order, from Sanctiond's official instagram page...

Sanctiond's Instagram page is the epitome of Los Angeles culture. Follow Sanctiond on Instagram @Sanctiond  and while you're at it, follow Bernie on Instagram @CarShowBernie .

Sanctiond Stories talks cars with Curren$y

My favorite company that makes car care products (Sanctiond) is back with their Sanctiond Stories. I honestly enjoy their Sanctiond Stories segments because they sit down and talk to people about cars and most importantly, they're always shot by Estevan Oriol. 

Their latest story involves a New Orleans rapper named Curren$y. If you keep up with Curren$y, you would already know that he has a deep love for a particular car- the Chevy Corvette. Not only that, he owns a shop with his manager, Mousa called Street Customs Motors in his hometown. Estevan has a informative conversation with the two of them about something that the three of them share a love for--- cars. Check out the interview below...

I wished the video was longer.

Snoop Dogg teams up with Mister Cartoon's Sanctiond

At SEMA, Mister Cartoon announced a new partnership with Snoop Dogg (or Snoop Lion) as business partner and ambassador for Sanctiond Automotive Brand. By bring in Snoop, it allows Sanctiond to expand their lineup by adding an exclusive line of Sanctiond™ by Snoop Dogg products consisting of car wash, waxes, polishes, spray detailers and more. The line will launch initially as a limited edition. Snoop is working closely with the Sanctiond™ team of specialists to hand-craft the formula down to the smell, color, ingredients and branding.

Atticus Firey, Sanctiond™ Co-Founder and CEO, said, "This is not a traditional endorsement deal for Snoop Dogg. In addition to being our business partner, he will provide global endorsement services, marketing support and strategic consulting for the brand. Snoop Dogg's global recognition, trendsetting status and super cool persona enhance our ability to bring new consumers and revived energy into this category."Basically Snoop is gonna help people care about their cars more. 

You gotta love it... But seriously, Sanctiond had a great presence at SEMA. Most of the customized cars there had the Sanctiond decal on it, even at the booths of various aftermarket parts. 

Bernie's Car Show Coverage: 2012 SEMA Show Day 2

Day 2 of SEMA was a little different. I used this day to network, so basically I was doing more talking than photographing. But of course, I did get some shots and here they are...

Love the detail in this Chrysler 300 conversion, but I'm sick of Camaros. Even if it only has the front end of one.

Forgiato  is not just a aftermarket wheel company, it is now a lifestyle company

Best model there...

Love the drawing, I wish I could draw like that-- and I went to an Art school.

I did sign the wall...

I love the tribute to Carroll Shelby...

... but not as much as I love this Ford Shelby

Okay, I LOVED this car. Although it's not straight guy friendly (aka most of SEMA), I still loved it. I love swarovski crystals, and with that accent, I HAD to stop and stare and get photos. But I wouldn't have crystalized it in some places where they did like the windshield wipers.... and I love the fur, but it wouldn't be practical in Atlanta.

West Coast Customs guys!!!

Still love his tire shine...

Liking this Forgiato edition Ford Explorer...
