Since it took longer than anticipated (always seems to be the case) I was worried I couldn't get any after pics but setting up two halogen lamps aiming up towards my white canopy tent.....i was surprised to find that it turned out pretty nice. It was like a photo shoot.......check them out...

Cool pic of the interior. (at least i think so)




kinda looks like a porsche....kinda....

 

wow... good work, looks like a long day though

 

looks great!!! i need my headlights buffed bad!!!!!!!

 

oh my.. very nice

 

thanks for all the compliments. It was a long day: 7.5 hrs in total but it was worth it. The owner was ecstatic and said it looked better than when she bought it.

 

can i pay you to detail my car like that?

 

Sure if you can drive up from AZ to San Diego.

 

how often are u in pasadena and how much is ur rate, pm me

 

I am in Pasadena almost every weekend. I'm pretty booked this weekend. I have a black mustang gt and a black 08 G37. I always seem to get black cars. They're the most difficult and time-consuming to detail but when its done right....it makes it all worth it. PM sent!

 

PM me for pricing on headlight restoration (when you're in Pasadena) Mine are pretty cloudy and starting to yellow a bit (OK... a lot of yellow)

 

wow concours!
looks sweet!! I wish i had the cash to afford some TLC for my ride as well..

theres a black Audi A3 in the first pic.. it looks sick! Too bad its slow.. =p

 

I would like to know pricing also for a G coupe Black.

 

can u pm me ur rates

 

now thats a nice detail =D

Good job man =).. I'll be hitting you up sometime when my G is in SD..

 

I see you use a pc. Why don't you move onto a rotary to get you job done quicker.
