    Nice weather is upon us!

    The weather is getting nicer which means cars need to be cleaned up. Guess what, that's what I'm here for. I don't really wanna post another long winded thread with info and details and what not, blah blah blah.... I'm posting this now to see what kinda interest there is here soon so I can start scheduling people. I'm good, not cocky, just truthful. Who has any interest in getting their cars cleaned up and gleaming proper for this nice weather.

    For anyone curious, Ben detailed my E30 last year about this time. Was an AMAZING job....pics are around here somewhere.

    Ben, kinda thinking about getting dad's e28 detailed

      The car is a 89 325i with 261k on it. I'm owner number 7 or 8, the car has over 50k of track miles/hard use before I got it, and has the original outside-weathered paint. Which is why the transformation is all the more impressive.

      Anyway, on to the pics! Thanks are to Ben again for an amazing job. Pay close attention to the quality of the reflections on the paint....the car is like a deep mirror.





      This one looks weird because I was playing with the polarizer. I kinda like how it came out though!



      And finally, the money shot: the hood.


      Guys, get Ben/Bishop to detail your cars. You won't regret it!

            That's what sealant is for! :D

            This stuff is amazing btw:

            Easy to apply and remove. Protects for around 6 months!. Looks great dark and light paint. Price: $39.99. Brand: Chemical Guys. Size: 16 oz.

              You want a sealant. Waxes are typically less hardy, but offer more depth, shine, warmth, etc. Ideal for garage queens / show cars. For daily drivers you want something that will bond well with the paint and the polymers in modern sealants are optimal. I have one that is absolutely amazing

                I haven't used that stuff but I know that some people swear by chemical guys or don't use them at all.

                    It's also ok to put down a layer of sealant, and then wax on top. ;)

                      True, but I still think it's answers of effort on daily driven cars. You can seal and wax a garage queen too. Aaaaaannnnnnnd back on topic, gauging interest for detail work

                        It all depends on how much the customer wishes to spend. :D

                          True but I'm not one to talk people into what I think would be unnecessary, but I'll do as I'm paid / asked. On of my detail supply companies sent me some info where they hit an RS6 with like 5 or 6 coats of the sealant I use and it provided more protection and better looks than most waxes.

                            I have no doubts, but again, it's all how much the customer is willing to pay. I'm not going to try and sell someone something they don't want, but I am going to let them know what their options are.
