I recently had this video profesionally made. I think it shows a good perspective of the work that comes through my shop. What do you think?

YouTube - Metropolitan Detail - Seattle's Premier...

I think it's a good video.

However, I did have to LOL that it's trying to copy Dalton - talking about water temperature, 52steps, etc.... ...... not saying that's good or bad, just saying it made me lol =)

good marketing technique...display it on your website, at booth shows, etc and it will definitely attract people!

nice video, but is it just me or should you try not to expose most all the products you are using, so others (nearby competition) try not to copy you?

Very impressive facility John! Top notch video too. It would make for a great TV commerical.

Are there 2 bays/buildings at your location - wash / detail? How big is your place all together? What's the pointy tool that looks like a gun? Looks like an air hose I think. What other kind of unique things are you using/doing there?

Love the idea... see a lot of paul dalton marketing in the video, kind to the paint with warm washer rinsing, citrus degreasing etc.

No qualms there, he is one hell of a marketer!

John, that was a *great* video. Especially the defect revealing. It's a real eye opener to see what looks like a beautiful, shiny car, then have that light come on and show the swirls and defects. Nicely done on the part of the camera man.

The whole video is nicely done, really. And am I the only one that noticed that even your detailing tools have been detailed? Sheesh, I thought *I* kept my detailing equipment detailed, but my stuff looks old and grungy compared to yours.

Excellent facility, excellent video.... I'd bring *my* car to you, for sure. Good stuff.

That was AWESOME! I would love to eventually do this after I get my shop looking a little nicer. Definitely a good marketing tool in my eyes.

Nice video, had good information, nice shots, keeps your attention, mentions your name plenty of times, and a nice car. I think you have a good video there!

Where do you plan on doing with it now other than on the web page, and internet linking?

Thanks David,

We have a two bay wash bay that's seperate from the detail shop. I made sure to define the wash area, this helps keep the rest of the shop clean. We have 5 detail bays, and one seperate bay that's only used for clear mask installations with a vehicle lift. The pointy tool is an air gun. Other unique things, tricks? Yeah, we've got a few up our sleeve.
