Yeah I will definitely try. The extra money is always nice.

I just got a 2006 G and it came with free swirls, so I am taking a lot of before and after pictures to show as an example of my work.

How many passes on that Escalade? Two I assume since your first pad was orange.

Good stuff, looking forward to seeing some pics of your G. Do you have any detailing tools/products at this point?

Yes, I did two passes with my Flex. The first was with Intensive Polish/orange pad the and second was with 0106FF/white pad.

Thanks Janik.

I wish that was my garage, but unfortunately it's not. I've got a decent size garage (26X28) but this garage is massive. This is one of 3 garages this person has and it's where he parks his 43' diesel Coach. His coach is not in there now as he is down in Daytona watch the race. Gotta love having lots of money.

His house.




The garage I detailed his Escalade in. Btw, that's a brand new hydraulic hoist on the flatbed that he is installing in that garage for his classic cars.


Inside of the garage.




Garage #2



Garage #3



One of his six snowmobiles and his 70 SS Chevelle.

Yeah, I have a PC and bunch of pads. I think two orange, two grey and a white. For polish I have Pinnacle stuff, but I am going to buy the 0106FF since I see you really like it according to what you said in a few threads.

As for detailing I had another G and I detailed that one. Here is the thread. I got rid of that car over a year ago and was G free until January of this year.


On a side note, those three garages are amazing. I'd love a big insulated garage like that.

that looks more like Alberta then N.B.! awesome set-up your client has. i dream of my own garage. one day, i hope. you gotta love rural property value, money goes a long way. my fiance and I are both engineers and all we can afford is a 2 bdrm/1 bath loft condo (~$500k) in Vancity...

nice work on the detail, btw.

Drooling over the '70 Chevelle.

Fantastic job Shane. The first time I did my car I spent 18 hours on it however I was learning.

I've done a few larger SUV's -Dodge Durangos and a Tourag with rock hard paint and lots of large cars.

Yeah, that's a pretty nice house and garages, if not a little excessive.
