just past experience from using Jon--that was EXCELLENT...I am posting this as we have all been looking for someone in North Florida, and we have used Jon in the past. This isn't an ad, more of an informational post with my testimonial of Jon's past work (do a search)...

what is their price for a full detail, or better yet, what did you pay? that would let us know somewhat ballpark figures.

^ I paid about two bills...

That got my entire car clayed, Zaino'd, full interior and leather treatment, engine cleaned and the wheels waxed...

I don't know the current price structure, but if you called or emailed, I'm sure they'd let you know...

Jon is a true friend of the Florida G35 Club and his detailing skills are legendary.

Highly recommended!

Hi,

My name is Todd Helme, owner of Bella Macchina: Concours Perfection and Fine Vehicle Preservation. Jon is the newest member of our team and I am extremely excited to work with someone of his talent.

I apologize that we don't have our website up and running (it can be frustrating as you guys may know).

The pricing will be different as the range of services (compared to what Jon used to offer) has increased signficantly. I have been regarded as one of the best detailers in the country (I think forum member joyride would agree) for a while and specialize in machine correction and jeweling paint services to perfection.

Thanks.



Here is a G35 detailed by Bella Macchina.

This first picture highlights the damage to the car.


The damage was so extensive that certain areas had to be sanded


That looks better...

Thanks for the welcome. Jon is the man .

We are located in Orlando and Tampa (I have a partner out in Tampa named Brian who runs Bella Macchina Gulf Coast). We do monthly trips to South Florida as well as have clients in several states and countries, so Jacksonville is no problem. Maybe we can get a group together and take care of them on one trip?

I love sand, so it sounds like it will work...

Nobody is more excited to see Jon back in action then myself! I am never awe-struck by the name of the badge of the car I work on. What is more important to me is that the owner cares enough about their car to want the best. I have spent over 30 hours detailing a VW Beetle and 25 hours on an Integra. Obviously our service is not cheap, as it is exclusive, but our only limitation is that the owner wants the best. At the point, its up to us to deliver.

LOL Thanks for the kind words! Are you going to detail fest or did you ever get a hold of Brian!?

Hi Yurack. That is so cool that you are on here, I know I told you I tried to sign up here a long time ago. I was going to call you earlier this week just to catch up. I'll hit you up this week if its cool.

Thanks for the kind words also, mi amigo.

Hey Guys!

Sorry it took so long to chime in on this thread. I am really excited about this new endeavor. We'll have more pictures and information available once the website is completed - so thank you in advance for your patience.

Todd and I could definitely put a trip together for Jacksonville, just email either of us and we can discuss the specifics and availability.

Thanks again for all the kind words! I am excited to be back

Jon
