Wow, fantastic job. How do you like that kranzle pressure washer? I hear they are pretty pricey? Does yours have that auto on/off switch? Incredible job. I have some Iron X on order along with Cquartz. Hopefully it comes in soon.

Also, about how many hours did it take you to fully detail this car. I've really only detailed my car once and it took me two weeks. I am a little slow with my DA. Hope to get the FLEX soon too.

jookyshank Feb 27, 2011 02:08 PM

Oh yea! this gives me hope that my OB can be saved one day too! :biggthumpup: Excellent work!

thescreensavers Feb 27, 2011 02:20 PM

^ lol it can!

I am going to lightly polish mine again this summer 2 years after the main 105/205 and DD and quick washes and I had to claybar the whole front which left lots of swirls in my paint.

Cant wait.

Wannabe6MT Feb 27, 2011 02:39 PM

I am going to have to do my own PPI detail inspection on whatever car I buy so we will see how that goes. I am gonna do a complete write up on it and take lots of pics. The dealer is bound the **** the paint up on the car (like they do with every car they detail lol) so ill have to fix it all some weekend.

I am VERY excited. It is almost car detailing season and I CANNOT wait.

Great work. I need to find a shop like yours!!! Any recommendations folks (Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill NC)?

Stryde Feb 27, 2011 03:53 PM

Nice work! Last weekend I spent 20+ hours correcting the paint on my sedan...it did wonders for the paint. :cool:

I love that it is self priming. I'm envisioning DI water from my RO/DI filter filling up a large 50 gallon drum connected to this self priming Kranzle would be a dream!

Got to get my g/f the ring before I can get my real toys. :o
This will definitely be on my wish list. :)

To the OP, how much do you charge for a job like that? Very nice work, by the way!
