Offering Car Detailing Services....

Hey guys.

I do this every summer, and I am trying to keep myself busy, but more work is always better (Saving for an FD right now). I do a lot of detail work over the weekend and have been doing it for a while for some big shops, cars with a lot of exposure etc...

Here are some pictures of my work, if anybody is interested in doing a full detail.

-Includes Hand wash, Clay, Cut/polish, Final Polish/Glaze, Sealant, Wax. Its an intensive 4 stage detail. Prices for a full exterior are around 100-140 depending on color (how bad the paint is etc) PM me for more details. Includes wheels, tires, moldings, windows, etc....

I shall attach some pictures, and i would like some more business, here in so cal. I am from orange county, i have been mobile and done cars at my house, so i can arrange either.

That Grey/Dark Gunmetal supra was just shot for a big DSPORT Feature, so my sticker/info was on the car, i should be getting more exposure this way.

Photobucket went down, so i will post before and afters later.

Nice Red FC you have there, i have seen your car around a few times, esp rowland heights. When i had a 91 FC i colorsanded the car and the paint came out nice, you would be surprised what a cars paint has left on it.

Personally I feel it's one of the niscest FC's I ever done see. The hood is borderline redneck. I love it for its uniqueness. Sorry to dissapoint you John, at least until I turn the key over that beast comes to life.

Sorry to derail the thread Ganesh but those cars are hot. Did you really detail that Ferrari?

Yeah, the same guy with the F40 has a yellow F430 and a Red Challege Stradale 360. I got another guy that has a collection that has a Black and green bugatti coming in a few weeks, ill probably do it if he has time, im crossing my fingers on this one.

AngelAcid: Sorry, i did not mean to ignore you. Shoot me a PM with pics n(if you can) of your car, what car it is, original or repainted, and i can give you a good idea of a few solutions i can come up with.

Pics of the black turbo vert.

A whole day and a 1/2 of work and 5 intensive steps lol, the car was bad to start with, the bodyshop had left a lot of swirls and scuffs on it.

Had to start with a wash and clay, then stepped it up with an agressive (Sp?) pad and some bodyshop compound to get all the damage off. Then go on it with a finer pad with some finer polish and finishing glaze, then a machine speed glaze, sealant wax applied by hand, and finally carnauba wax by hand.

This new process is a lot more intensive than my old process, everyone started copying it, so i one upped myself. The red F40 was the first to see whole nine yards a month or so ago. The Gunmetal Supra and Black S2000 then saw the same treatment. Shoot me a PM, and i can give you a better idea.

When i got first got my 91 FC a year or 2 ago, the paint was oxidized to hell, but i figured i would give it a shot, i ended up having to colorsand 1/2 the car, and a hell of a lot of work. I had the car looking like new though, the front bumper had to be repainted (nothing i could do about it). Eventually car got sold.

Actually, i enjoy doing it too, and doing it more on weekends has allowed me more flexibility, im not so tempted to take every lowball offer. I try to keep prices really reasonable, im not out to make an unreasonable buck lol.
