Hey guys, car wasnt in too bad of shape just wanted some minor swirls removed and what not. Car had dew on it and the sun wasnt out when I got there so I couldnt get that many before shots but here they go. Total time on this car was about 8 hours. Those huge flat side panels were really a pain.

Yeah I'm a detailer, check out other details I've done in my sig.

I used chemical guys sticky gel citrus wheel cleaner and a boars hair brush for the wheel. Used a swissvax wheel brush for the lugs and tighter spaces.

Great work on all the cars you've shown so far. I wish I had the time to work on my car like that.

Mine also.... When my brain is fixed. :-/
Both my cars need major attention. Ive been letting them go as Im mentally ill. Heh

So detailing is what you do for your day job? Not that Im complaining, but you do WAY more work for the price you ask.

Nah its my side job really. Although if it keeps expanding I might consider going full time. I could easily charge 3 times as much but I enjoy what I do and by charging this much I get a lot more people coming to me instead of just one or two a month. Plus I try to give friends and fitfreakers a discount. :D
