Detailing Perfection: All I did was hit a bush!?!?

L~R~G nor cal · 06-01-2008, 05:06 PM

I had a client call because she said she hit a bush and needed it to be looked at. I have never detailed her car, so I had no idea what kind of shape it was in, but she insisted she always takes care of her car. After seeing what shape the paint was in, I called her and informed her that it was in really bad shape and needed paint correction to be corrected. I tried scratchX and it didn't even dent on the scratches (thats the glossy black circle in the pics).

It took me around 18 hours to correct the whole car, wax, detail the interior and I was not in the mood to do a whole big write-up on it. But I do have some before and afters.

I was very happy with the results and so was my client.

Jared, you a magician. Hope she appreciates what a difference you made.

Pretty impressive results!!

I was taking that long too (18 hrs) for full paint correction...Then I realized that I have to speed it up to really make it worth my time!!!

Boom, Switched to a 3403 and a makita(practiced for a couple weeks, or customers hood and trunks [while still using the 3401 on the rest

])!But now, I use nothing but my 3403 and my makita and it has cut paint correction time by at least 1/2!!!

Very nice, Jared! As stated earlier in this thred, your work is Detailing Perfection indeed.

Can't wait to see the results when you do my BMW. Also, my wife saw the pics and said "so when is Jared going to do my car?"

Wow, good job.

I brushed against a bush while backin up once (not as bad more like scuff mark), the next day I took black-decker trimmer and trimmed the bush back (WAY BACK). That'll teach it.
