So there's a good amount of people who just spray down their car throw some soap on, rinse and wipe it down with a rough terry cloth towel. No good.
SO! Whoever is interested in the L.A. area, I'll be offering full detail jobs.
A usual detail takes between 8-12 hours.
This includes..
Wash
Clay
Cleaner Polish
Synthetic Sealant or Wax
I also do an engine compartment detail and interior.
Depending on location and convenience, I can also offer a mobile service where I can come to you.
I use all Meguiar's products, and the polish and wax is done by machine.
PM me for scheduling and pricing. Or check my website for estimated prices!
I'll offer some discounts for H-T members!
THANKS

Here is the job that was done this weekend (Dec. 2 2006)

So, I made the trip out to his house and it seemed a bit different than what I am used to here in Pasadena, IT WAS COLD & WINDY!!!!! Heh, but I did come prepared with hoodys to keep warm.
I get there to see the supercar of the Honda Brand, a 1991 Acura NSX, with 13k original miles! WOW

Staggered Manaray Wheels, Honda badges, all the exterior plastics were in perfect condition (tail lights, bumper lights, etc) This thing was nice.
Only thing that was really standing out as a problem was the paint with scratches and swirls...



Bad doggies. Scratches from the dogs.

Well, it was time to get started...



Here, I taped off the area for my test spot

Don't mind the dust here, every few minutes or so the wind would blow in and bring a huge amount of dust with it... all over the car, so we had to close the garage to prevent that.

Didn't show up too well in the garage, so we went outside and did another test on the trunk lid...

Wheels done





Here is when all the polishing was done, and the synthetic sealant was applied.


And here are the best after shots I could get...

Remember I use all Meguiar's Products and the same process is used on my personal car...


And my previous car....which was actually only polished by hand...

A detail is making sure the surface is free of bonded contaminants and then protecting it.
It does minimize the swirls, but does not eliminate them.
Swirl removal is more along the lines of paint repair, which requires a more agressive product and a rotary buffer.
I am currently using a Dual Action Polisher to minimize the swirling.

Here's an example of paint repair using a Dual Action polisher on my Mustang....
An area was taped off and covered to show the original condition of the paint before we started...
The swirls are reduced, the paint is free of contaminants, and a shine is restored.
This was done with several applications of a cleaner polish, one application of a cleaner wax, and a final application of a synthetic sealant.

Bump for my boy Brad. Seen his Mustang in person and that thing is immaculate, will recommend him to anyone. I would get my car detail by Brad but my bucket is not worthy
