…and marine, and motorcycle, and pretty much everything with a seat, a motor, and some paint ;D I’m Ryan Kramer, I’m a senior at Guilderland High School, and I’ve been detailing cars since I was 14. I’ll start out with some pictures of my work to grab your attention: **TurboTravis’s twin turbo Torch Red C5 Corvette Z06:** ![http://i34.tinypic.com/nzq691.jpg](http://i34.tinypic.com/nzq691.jpg) **A family friend’s Imola Red e46 BMW ///M3:** ![http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff31/kramerbuccs24/car%20detailing/68cb7fe0.jpg](http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff31/kramerbuccs24/car%20detailing/68cb7fe0.jpg) ![http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff31/kramerbuccs24/car%20detailing/314a02cf.jpg](http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff31/kramerbuccs24/car%20detailing/314a02cf.jpg) ![http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff31/kramerbuccs24/car%20detailing/c8b74f94.jpg](http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff31/kramerbuccs24/car%20detailing/c8b74f94.jpg) ![http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff31/kramerbuccs24/car%20detailing/7dc4fd2b.jpg](http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff31/kramerbuccs24/car%20detailing/7dc4fd2b.jpg) **My Super Black Nissan Altima SER:** ![http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff31/kramerbuccs24/Altima%20SE-R/a1a79307.jpg](http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff31/kramerbuccs24/Altima%20SE-R/a1a79307.jpg) ![http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff31/kramerbuccs24/Altima%20SE-R/d4a0294e.jpg](http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff31/kramerbuccs24/Altima%20SE-R/d4a0294e.jpg) ![http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff31/kramerbuccs24/Altima%20SE-R/69425c94.jpg](http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff31/kramerbuccs24/Altima%20SE-R/69425c94.jpg) ![http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff31/kramerbuccs24/Altima%20SE-R/502c6f1c.jpg](http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff31/kramerbuccs24/Altima%20SE-R/502c6f1c.jpg) **A few miscellaneous pictures and some before/after shots on wheels:** ![http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff31/kramerbuccs24/car%20detailing/58e66707.jpg](http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff31/kramerbuccs24/car%20detailing/58e66707.jpg) ![http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff31/kramerbuccs24/car%20detailing/35c4f56b.jpg](http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff31/kramerbuccs24/car%20detailing/35c4f56b.jpg) ![http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff31/kramerbuccs24/car%20detailing/d4aa394b.jpg](http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff31/kramerbuccs24/car%20detailing/d4aa394b.jpg) ![http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff31/kramerbuccs24/car%20detailing/734b094c.jpg](http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff31/kramerbuccs24/car%20detailing/734b094c.jpg) ![http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff31/kramerbuccs24/car%20detailing/9d2cee28.jpg](http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff31/kramerbuccs24/car%20detailing/9d2cee28.jpg) ![http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff31/kramerbuccs24/car%20detailing/2accc4eb.jpg](http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff31/kramerbuccs24/car%20detailing/2accc4eb.jpg) ![http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff31/kramerbuccs24/car%20detailing/e878e9ce.jpg](http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff31/kramerbuccs24/car%20detailing/e878e9ce.jpg) ![http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff31/kramerbuccs24/car%20detailing/61381b19.jpg](http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff31/kramerbuccs24/car%20detailing/61381b19.jpg) * * * I’ll put up more pictures as I detail nicer cars (the majority of my business is local soccer mom’s minivan’s/SUV’s etc., so I really have no motivation to photograph them). Automobile options and prices: Exterior only- **$60-90** depending on condition/size of car/truck. -Full body wash (unless it’s winter, then I ask that you provide a Hoffman’s/Colonial/etc. wash prior) -Full body clay (including windows) -Full body polish with extra emphasis on scratch removal -Full body wax or sealant (your choice, sealant is recommended in fall/winter, wax for spring summer) -Wheels washed and clayed -Tire shine -Window polish Exterior, interior and engine bay- **$160-$200** depending on condition/size of car/truck Everything above plus: -Full interior vacuuming (floor, seats, trunk, etc.) -Windows cleaned on the inside -Dashboard/door panels/center console cleaned (no cheap shiny stuff, just plain clean) -Stain removal on carpet -Stain removal and shampoo of carpet mats (if applicable) -Leather seats conditioned (if applicable) -All “gunk” removed from all engine components (that I can reach ;D) -Rubber radiator/vacuum hoses conditioned **Boats:** For everything mentioned in the exterior & interior for automobiles- **$10/ft** Every service that I’m currently capable of performing is in the full exterior/interior/engine bay category, but a new price can be discussed if you’d like me to to less than what is offered above. I am also open to doing motorcycles, although, since I’ve never been asked to detail one, I’m not sure what to charge. I’ll have to do more research on that if you’d like me to clean your bike. Please get in contact with me if you have any questions or would like to make an appointment.

have you done any cars that arent nearly new? ive seen pictures of cars George did when he was with Detailed image that looked terrible going in, and like new when done. not bashing your skills, just would like to see some less than spectacular cars, some before and after close up shots to show the change. ---

You said an older, not-like-new car…I’m sure my paint COULD be reconditioned, why couldn’t it be? My car has like 6 yr old not-oem paint…I would put it at a somewhat far end of the ‘like new’ spectrum. Drink a beer or something, geesh. ---

Well that M3 was actually an 01, I believe it only had 50,000 or so miles on it, but still, that’s a reasonably old car. ---

I’m going to bump this because I guess people think that just because it’s cold I don’t detail anymore… you couldn’t be more wrong, my friends ;D. The only thing I ask extra of you this late in the year is that you get a Hoffman’s carwash or something before hand so I don’t literally get frostbite trying to get the bulk of the dirt off, all of the stuff left behind will be taken off with a clay bar before the polish/sealant/wax hits it. Other than that, it’s no difference to me ;D . You can PM, call (518.369.6855) or email ([rkramer55@nycap.rr.com](mailto:rkramer55@nycap.rr.com)) me to make an appointment. EJ, if you’re looking here now, I got your email and will respond ASAP :lol ---
