Yikes!

I see that some of the photos are gone now?

Anyway, I have been detailing for a few years now but I don't do it professionally...
I mostly do my cars and my friend's cars and have found that I too learn something new almost every time I do a different car.

And I agree about the experience comments too. Before I ever picked up a PC I read and read and read and watched videos and videos heh. But the real learning is in the doing.

Same when I moved to a rotary. Much reading and watching of vids, but I've only been using the rotary for about a year now and I still take it very slow and am EXTREMELY careful because I respect the machine and follow the sage advice given here and elsewhere.

Either way I DEFINITELY tape off any trim no matter if the car was a Lambo or a Yugo.

It seems like maybe this guy just got a little ahead of himself and perhaps bit off more than he could chew.

I wouldn't have even attempted to polish that area with a machine. I do all jambs and tight areas like that by hand... so I'm not even sure how he managed to do that.

Anyway, I hope he does pay for that trim and refunds the guy's money.
