    WTT: My detailing for your parts

    Hey, I used to detail for a living and was thinking about doing some trading if there was any interest. My time is pretty limited due to work, so I can't do a lot of this but I'm sure we can figure it out.

    In Eugene, would prefer you bring it to me. Depending on the trade I'll travel.

    Looking primarily at exterior detailing, I don't feel like doing interiors. The right tools, the right products and the experience and knowledge to make your car look great and not screw anything up. My heart wouldn't be in the interior.

    Things I'd be interested in trading for:

    16" or 17" wheels.
    Cardinal vert interior pieces. Mint or close.
    M20 maintenance parts (belts, water pump, valeo voltage regulator, cap, rotor, plugs, etc). New only.
    IS lip.
    Euro smileys. Mint or close (really only need low beam glass).
    Fog light HID's.
    Headlight wiper system.
    Mild sounding exhaust.
    Ribbed late model fog glass. Mint or close.
    M Tech II wheel. Small. Mint or close.
    Short throw shifter.
    Black hardtop headliner. Mint or close. Suede preferred.
    Black suede shift boot or ebrake boot.
    Skid plate.
    X Brace.
    Tools.
    Cash.

    Open to ideas.

    Here are some horrible cell phone pics of some cars I've done. Sad I don't have more, I was doing 3-4 cars a week there for a while. Was the top detailer in the company for 3 months running before I left. I'm doing my vert this weekend, I'll post some quality pics I'm sure.

    This car had MASSIVE scratching on the trunklid, was able to get 90% out.













    Wish I had some before and afters...did a Dark blue Durango one time that looked like it spent it's whole life in a crappy car wash...came out looking almost new.

    Oh, I do have one, sort of: http://cartoys.com/default.cfm/w/Ext...Auto_Detailing

    I did the red Civic pictured for the 'Classic Exterior Detailing package'. That much work would have been more than $139. lol.

    I'll even throw in a professional level photo shoot afterwards if you'd like.

    You need to use better photos to show off your hard work!

      Right? lol...those are god awful.

      I'll get to the vert and my x3 in the next few weeks and post up pics. Those pictures were taken with my old Blackberry Curve. I don't have any of the high res pics, unfortunately.

        I too was in the business for awhile and still do occasional jobs on the side. People who care about it get the best results, and usually there's really great value. I hadn't done any old cars but worked a couple E30s for Lucky/Vintage Euro and it's awesome seeing dull lifeless paint transform and look beautiful again.

          You really did a number on my vert, and several brilliant rot cars. Love it
