Hey everyone, This is my first post here. I hope you enjoy the pictures. Anyways so the past couple of days I spent my time at the Porsche dealership on a trade in that was in horrendous condition. It was my first detail at that dealership and the people there were great. Although it was disappointing that someone would treat a car, any car the way the previous owner treated this beauty. During the inspection stage the roof and rear hatch had particularly low paint reading and was hit with the PC DA with a much less aggresive combination. Please excuse some of the untouched wheel wells. The car was washed and sat in the bay. I did a quick ONR on the paintwork and went at it. Whoops one last thing. I was only to address the paintwork at the request of the client. Anyways enough of my babbling.

Thanks for the comments. I typically charge $50/hr. I do have preset packages set up for those that do prefer having a package drawn out rather than per hour estimates. I do not have my own store front but I would love one eventually. Although I focus on mobile detailing I understand there is a need for a store front. The overhead for a store front at the moment is incredibly high right now particularly in the desirable areas. I’ll have a rogue and maxima coming in this next week as well as other vehicles. Thanks for looking at the pictures and I’m glad you guys enjoy. ---

It really depends on what a client wants or needs. If he likes his current paint job and wants it brought back to life the cost makes sense, compared to a repaint. However if the owner wants a new colour and his current paintwork warrants one sure why not a new paint job :). There are so many options these days, vinyl, detail, respray. I vote for detail 😛 ---

Damn thats sum wicked work. I’m in desperate need of a detail along those lines for an '02 altima, my paint looks just like those before pictures and I need it to look like those after pictures. Nikku Please PM me with some details if possible. Thanks
