    taped up, so no polish will stain the trim! Also, I use 2 500w lights to find those nasty paint imperfections and tackle them!


    still in process


    DONE!

    The wheels also get cleaned and a coat of wheel sealent put on













    Some hard work goes a LONG way!


    Nothing wrong with trying to preserve an old car!

    Interior cleaning! (I only have afters.., I hope you get the idea of how much effort is put in and how it pays off as shown here )









    PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE TO CONTACT ME, I will detail any type of car. I am not restricted to bimmers

    I'm definitely in! My car is shit. What products do you use? I would like to get a good baseline before I start to detail my own car. Where are you? I'm in Berkeley and can probably Bart back while you work!

    your not that far away and thank you for the compliment!


    Okay, here's an update!

    I have a few cars lined up and ready to detail and I have ordered some more/new detailing supplies! I will be ready to take more cars starting June the 8th. It may seem like awhile, but it's only a four week wait.. And, I should be able to accept cars any day of the week.

    Thanks for the patience guys. In the meantime, I will be able to book you guy's and give you quotes

    Btw, you should really get some high-res/high-quality shots with imperfections before and after too!

    Sounds good. Is there residue left over from the debadge? Or did you scratch some of the paint?

    I should be able to take care of it

    Depending on how deep the scratch is, the majority of it should polish out

    Maybe you should think of doing a San Jose weekend or something. I'd be another person interested. I'm located in North San Jose / Milpitas to be exact.

    My cousin just dropped off his e30 for a wash, wax and vacuum.

    I will post pictures soon.

    The car is in mint shape, he just wants the paint to really stand out when he sells it sometime soon.

    The paint wasn't bad at all.. He detailed it himself a few months ago but wanted some overall cleaning of the interior and two coats of chemical guys wax to give the car that nice lustrous pop!

    ps, remember.. I can only clean the carpets so much, I can't make s coffee stained tan carpets perfect again.. Especially if the stain has been there untouched for the passed few years




    I got to work early that morning


    not bad, but it needs a clean








    50/50, obviously the left side wasn't that bad to start with..


    taking a break


    done

    June 8 is approaching fast! I will start detailing customer cars very very soon!

    My pops just picked up a E39 and I just had to clean it! He helped out with me, so the process was a bit quicker.
