Had my FD detailed by "The Driver"

So I saw the thread that had been posted by "The Driver" where he offers detailing to a few members for special pricing. At the price he was charging for the amount of work being done, it seemed a little too good to be true(even a little shady). I saw he had been around the forum for a few years, and decided to give it a shot. Left the car with him for about 24 hours; when I came back, I could barely recognize the car as mine. The paint looked extremely deep, the rims were as silver as the day I bought them, and the rat-**** and dirt covered tan interior looked BRAND NEW. The interior was so disgusting and difficult to get clean that I had strongly considered buying an entire new interior. Now, the car literally looks like it just drove off of the lot. I HIGHLY recommend trying him out, as it was well worth the drive.

His link that he had posted that originally got my attention:

I'm located in Northport, NY. Your partially right. I had to blend it, it was actually oxidation from long term exposure. The clear was extremely dull as was the hatch and most of the gloss plastics. I'm sorry I didn't get more finished shots, but as Maddslow will tell you, he arrived literally as I was finishing up. If you guys want more finished pix it's up to maddslow

Looks amazing!!! I really want to do this to give you the business but honestly i already have all the equipment, just been lazy to dedicate a day to doing them. I always end up doing quick 1 hour details to my cars.

I love detailing cars though. I wanna practice itand get good at it, then do the same thing you're doing for friends and family.

Trust me, I know... Thats why I started it. It's an awesome feeling when you see the final result, especially when you did it.
