DC Metro Zaino Service

pseto · 03-20-2008, 02:33 PM

we really need to hear from Japac/Clarese. otherwise, I'm ready to do it.

shimshimhada · 03-20-2008, 03:06 PM

if it's base zaino then ill need maybe 7-9 hours. until sunset is fine, unless you guys have good garage lighting, then i don't care at all.

9:00AM tentative?

your a workaholic man....i get tired after a 3-4hr session on my own car. Normally I break it up into 2 days just to keep my interest. Of course the car doesnt leave the garage inbetween sessions.

that sounds like a lot of drinking is going during the detail session for you to need a whole day of recovery!!

Detailing and drinking go hand in hand.
After some drinking, the swirls tend to disappear.

At this point, we have to pass for the 29th. I would love to re-discuss this with Shim for a later date in the spring...I hope Paul et al, can get theirs done...

pseto · 03-21-2008, 02:20 PM

so it looks like its only 2 cars Shim, so no need to start early. Maybe 1p?

Detailed Rick's E93 and Jeff's SLK this weekend, unfortunately, I forgot my camera for Rick's car.

Some pics of Jeff's SLK:

japac1 · 03-23-2008, 08:53 AM

Damn Shim....you do awesome work...I can't wait!!:

BK · 03-23-2008, 09:19 PM

Yup, shim is the best! My car is in this thread somewhere.

shimshimhada · 03-24-2008, 02:04 PM

Thanks guys, I'm planning on ordering a foam gun for presoaking, and one of those water deionizers. Already picked up a pressure washer (don't be afraid), and I'm going to mess around with that before using it on any of your cars.

I had to postpone the Sat detail at Frank's. Just couldn't get everything coordinated with my schedule. We'll try again soon.

yes, I just maybe a little late.

sapperelite · 03-29-2008, 06:15 AM

It look like my search for a detailer in DC is over, I hope. Shim, are you still operating in the NOVA area? I've been taking care of my 335 for the past year myself but without the proper tools here, I want to have someone put the car back in proper shape when she gets to the US. Couple questions, Do you only do the work at the clients house? I don't know if my house has an exterior hose bib. How far out do you make appointments? Any chance you do the clear-bra install? PM or reply here, doesn't matter to me. I'm really looking forward to getting my car back to the US, they just don't respect them the way Americans do here...

Yessir, I just did Steve's Sapphire Black coupe today.

Clients either drop off the car at my house or I can go to you. You can make appointments weeks in advance (months maybe, but my schedule may change).

Raja (Raja Ventureshield) does excellent work with clear bra installation, and he is a member here. Defintely contact him for clear bra work.

PM me, if you would like to set up an appointment!

PSI Power · 03-29-2008, 11:02 PM

Hey Shim,
I saw you today. Right by Fair Oaks Hospital. I was in the Montego Blue E90 at the stoplight right next to you. I thought your car looked familiar but was not sure.
Your car looks ready for the track!
