i've done that to my car before..use to do professional detailing on the side...tooke me 17 hrs to just do the outside of my car...long process but well worth it...

 

This particular car took 45 hours, and yes it's well worth it.

 

i did a quick detail on my car the other day..still shiny up to today...but it really, really needs a good polish...like 2-3 stages of it..ehhh...wateva...maybe in the future i will..

 

Keeping the finish in the same condition as last polished is the idea, but some defects are unavoidable. Good luck in your future detailing venture, and if you need a recommendation in your area (if you don't feel like doing it yourself) I know a few very worthy pro's in your area.

 

thats very good to know..i know how to do it..it's just time consuming as u know...plus my garage is too small to do this...yeah, just let me know who and i'll pass on the word too...

 

Rickrack of Unique Car Care, he is in Wakefield I think. Here's a sample of his work.

this guy looks solid... my g has a 4 stage job from wet sand all the way to polish n has a flat mirror image =0) but i might have to take a trip down to see how much this guy charges as its always good to have options

 

Scootch, I believe he's 75 an hour. In Boston that's probably the going rate. In Va I stick with the average market for paint correct experts at 60. Rick is definitely worth looking into.

 

Love the video man. Much more fun to watch than to read a whole write up like on autopia.

 

Thanks Rich, and I agree. There are so many write up's it's hard to even look at them all. Not to mention there's been no originality for years, I figured this would speed things up a bit and not be as tedious on the viewer.

 

Yea its pretty sweet. I still see before and after shots plus some in-action footage.

 

Not to mention, back when I posted write ups on Autopia it never told the story as I had a crappy camera. Even with a good camera I'm not a photographer but a detailer so it just created more work than needed. This was a lot less time consuming, this is what I will be doing to every car I work on from now on.

 

Ofcourse you had help filming lol. I couldnt really tell from the vid but were you using a dewalt?

 

Thx man... here is a pic of my side door... tell me whats you think
