      Thank you Carson, it was definitely a pleasure making that car shine, it's something special for sure :D

            A month is a very good time to have it polished, paint should be very settled. If your car is like mine after paint, it's probably developed a lot of dust and hairline scratches from not washing it so a polish would absolutely fix that.

              My AWII needs your tender love and attention. I'm so glad I saw this, my local gas station charges $30 to just run the car through the motorized car wash + towel dry- bay area is nuts. Sending PM.

                  schwartz e30

                  Are you doing inside and out, complete detailing? Engine compartment?

                  I've had my car for almost 2yrs now and it hasn't seen a detail yet. My car is schwartz too so you'll really get to show off your polishing skills. PM'd for address and availability.

                      detailing takes a lotta time. I've got around 6 hours total on my IS. sure looks great when clean though.

                        For the time being just the exterior with clay, Polish and sealant. I wouldn't want to mess with people's engine compartments.

                          Looking really good! And yes it is a tedious process, traditional 3 step polishing will usually take that long but a lot of that time can be cut depending on what pads and compounds you use which can be reduced to one or two steps most of the time

                            orange peel needs color sanding to correct. do you offer color sanding as well? that is the harder to find service in the detail industry for sure.

                              It's hard to find that service because there is too much risk invovled, usually whom ever paints the vehicle should be the one to correct any oranage peel. Reason why is because you can burn through edges in a matter of seconds and its a VERY time consuming process if you want it done right. The end result is marvelous.

                                Alonzo detailed my M5 today, which previously had completely trashed paint. It is the cleanest and best my car has looked in 15 years. Thoroughly recommended!
