Joyriide Detailed: 04' G35 Coupe

Owner picked this car up used. Heavy swirling and superficial oxidation on the surface of the paint. Owner wanted it spruced up for an IOCC Mega Meet. Dropped the car off Friday night and worked on it Saturday.

looks awsome. you did a great job, i saw your work in person yeaterday and must say im very impressed!

 

Very Nice. I saw the car at IOCC and it's looking new again.

 

wow nice work as always!!

 

Thats great that you guys actually got a chance to see this in person. Hopefully it didn't get too dirty between the customer's drive up to Boca from Kendall the day before.

 

whoa what a difference. Good job bro, one day I will take you mine.

 

I was doing 50mph all the way on the turnpike, and I got lucky that it didn't rain that night, so it didn't get dirty.
For anyone else interested in a detail or paint correction, Joy did an excellent job. He is a nice guy, very professional and knows his stuff. You can pick up any product from his arsenal of detailing supplies, and he can explain what it does with every technical detail. He worked around my schedule and even offered to give me a ride back. And the SFLG35 member discount was an added bonus.
This is the cleanest I've ever seen my car since I got it. It was totally worth the 1.5 hour drive down to kendall, and the 2.5 hour metrorail/trirail ride back up.

Wish you best of luck in the future

 

Here are some pics from the meet:

 

Very nice indeed! Should have goten pics under the hood too as it was immaculate.

 

Joy does amazing work keep it up man

 

Thanks! Nice wheels in the avatar, is that pic recent?

 

about a week after you detailed my ride

 

do you do this as a hobby on the side? how much to do mine!!

 

HOBBY! But this hobby gets expensive so to offset product purchases and labor time I charge. Not enough to make it lucrative, but enough to make me happy and the customer happy.
