Hey guys! Just wanted to show you some of the cars I have detailed when I had the shop open for business. I'm no longer detailing since I'm so busy at my regular job now, I barely have time to do my own jeeps lol.
Anyway, here are some pics and vids of some of the cars I've done. Let me know what you think...

Dam Mario my jeep needs you badly broLOL... mine needs me pretty badly too, right now it needs at nice wash. I'll have to wash it tonight or tomorrow night after work to get it ready for Etown on Saturday.

Damn Mario excellent work. What was your brand of choice if you don't mind me asking?

JimThanks bro! Gloss-It is my brand of choice for paint correction, Meguiars is my 2nd choice. I have the Cyclo, PC DAs and the Makita rotary, each has its purpose but I just love the Cyclo when it comes to paint correction.

Nice MARIO!!! Cars look great man. Those Benzo's are a little harder aren't they? Their clear coat is like concrete! Nice job man.Thanks bro! Yeah you can say that again! Some of the German cars clear coat is noticeably harder than others.

Wow those are some serious detailing jobs Mario, looks amazing man. Want to be my permanent Jeep detailer??? :DThanks bro! I wish bro, but like I said before I wish I had more time to do even my own.

Joey I used Pinnacle Swirl Remover kit with the 7424XP and I had awesome results. My black was extremly beat up too. Trick is to work 2x2 areas. It forces you to go slow and break down the compound to fully remove the swirls. Here's a before after. I kept my liscence plate on to make sure I didn't touch that spot.

Damn! Looks good buy they don't sell pinnacle around me and I don't have time to wait for it to ship. What kind of cut is the polish rated at? I'll get some by meguiars that. Is comperable.

Sent from my Autoguide iPhone appThe one I like the most for paint correction is Gloss-It extreme cut/evolution cut/polish. You can also use the Meguiar's 105&205 those you can find at your local Autozone. Great results with those as well but to me it takes a bit longer than the Gloss-It.
Just make sure to always use clean pads. Do you have a good pad washing set up? If not get one you won't be sorry.

Do you have any sun or halogen shots to see the before and after?
Was this a paint correction or a polish job?

This was a paint correction job. Unfortunatley I did not have a halogen light to check for correction, therefore I aired on the side of caution and took my time working the product in. Sometimes going over the same spot twice. The liscense plate was the only before and after shot I currently have.

You do very nice work and it really shows you are passionate about it. The white porche is possibly my favorite of the rides.
