Wink Detailing in Sweden

Just want to share some pictures of what I'm doing over here.
I'm like the worst detailer ever to take before pictures but I hope that is ok if I promise to improve my self.

The first one are a Merc CL600 that I detailed this monday, it was in a pretty bad shape from a lot of mashinewashes.
This is the result



The next one was my weekend job last weekend, a BMW 740 driven by a guy who thinks he cares about his car when he fills it up with gas
This is what it looked like when I got it





This time I forgot to take good pictureas after :




I did it inside as well but guess what, forgot the pictures

Re: Detailing in Sweden

We have very nice cars where I work now, wich makes my work pretty easy but like last week when I did six -08 BMW 7 serie I got a bit bored and just couldn't wait for the old Beemer pictured above.

The shop are ok as long as the cars arent too big, we have a Dodge Ram SRT-10 in now and its almost too big.
The buisness are ok, not bad but could be better, its hard to find work. The company I'm working for now wants to hire me but they cant afford it. Hows buisness in the states? I keep hearing about all kinds of economic trouble for you "over there"
My dream is to move to the states, the land of the car, but I guess its not the best time now, right?

Re: Detailing in Sweden

Todays work wasnt that hard, se got a car from Germany that one of our customers had ordered and since he is coming to see it tomorrow I just took care of the inside, the outside will probably be my project on monday.

The car is a Mercedes CLS 500, moccablack with dark brown leather. As usual when we get a car from germany its a bit dirty from the long drive but the paint looks good.....untill its washed. I dont know what the germans have against good carcare but it seems like they just spray the cars with silicone and says "Sher gut, looks good, lets have a beer and some brathwurst"

Well, this is what the car looked like before I started washing it.



During tha wash


After, looks good hu?


Lets have a closer look



Eaven the birds seems to like it, unfortunatley they show it in a bad way. This isnt the biggest but the one I got the best picture of


And of course swirls, its hard to get good pictures of them but belive me, its a lot of them, the whole trunk is messed up and the bonned doesent look that good either.


I thougt I should upload more but suddenly my computer doesent seem to work as I wish, you will just have to wait a day or two before you see the rest.

Re: Detailing in Sweden

Hey Moller, nice to hear from Sweden. Your English is pretty good, so no worry there .

Should be time for all the snow tires to be out.......and must be getting darkkkkkkk. Last time I was there was a couple of years ago, in NOVEMBER. Such a nice place to be.......but, man was it rainy & dark . Well, not so much different than here, weather-wise, except even we have more sunlight!

Tell us more about the your business in Sweden and the automotive atmosphere. What's happening now that Saab has been sold by GM? Have you detailed a Koenigsegg lately?

Let us know.

See ya.

Good, as long as I'm understood I'm happy

You are right about the dark thing, its depressing to start work when its dark and then leave work when its dark, I'm a summer person. But for the snow its not time yet, I live in the south of sweden and we dont have snow for more than a couple a weeks.

Nope, I have never detailed a K-egg, I was offered to work there but after I heard about how they treat their staff I said thankt but no thanks.
I dont have my own buissness yet, I would like to start something but it doesnt seem to be the time right now. I'm currently employed at a car dealer through our employment agency wich means that I have about a month and a half left to work then I dont know what happens. I may get hired by them but I dont know.

Like I said above, where I live we dont get that much snow, in the north they have about 1.5ft of snow by now. But you are right about the party stuff, we need the alcohol to keep us from freezing

Hello there! I was half way to you today, I went on a roadtrip to Stockholm and back. More pictures will come, I have the CLS next week and today we got a BMW 750 so there will probably be some nice pictures of them
