Most Exciting Detail You've Ever Done...

Post a picture of it and let us know why it's your Most Exciting Detail...



This is my most exciting detail because so far it's been the nicest car i've done to date. I was able to do an engine detail on it's Twin-Turbo Inline-6 Engine that produces 300+ hp. It really is a European Muscle Car. Now only if I can reel in the new E90/92 M3 w/ a V8.

This because it was my first Ferrari and this car has a lot of history. Also it was pushing out over 860 to the wheels. It was in a magazine long before I touched it but I bought the back issue so I have that also. Pretty sweet ride.

Love those 335s. The 335 and 135 have SOOOOO much potential. You think it's a muscle car now......you should drive it chipped. The turbos are severely detuned--probably because BMW didn't want it knocking on the M3's door. I own an E46 M3 and it'll be a sad day when I pull up next to one of these monsters with a chip.

I remember reading that many M enthusiasts were less than impressed with BMW and the 335 for exactly that reason. The M enthusiast bought and drove a M3 because of the elite power and performance an ///M Power BMW offered. When the 335i came out, that was ahead of the M in both power and performance, iirc, making the previous M3 owners none too happy.

No pic, but my most exciting detail has to be an '07 Viper SRT-10 for a MN Viking player. It was a nice car, but the excitement was how the results would assist in my work spreading to the rest of the players and many more nice vehicles.

Re: Most Exciting Detail You've Ever Done...

My most exciting details are on the cars that I know the owner will properly maintain and appreciates the hard work put in.

The most exciting car I've ever done, probably a Bentley Continental GT, actually I've detailed it a few times. However, the owner takes it to the car wash, so...

Re: Most Exciting Detail You've Ever Done...

With less than a year into my detailing business, this is my most exciting detail:



I detailed this 1992 Porsche Carrera 4 prior to it being used for a movie. As if that wasn't cool enough, Matt Damon drove the car quite a bit and signed a spot on the car. The movie, called The Informant, comes out next year according to IMDB.

Re: Most Exciting Detail You've Ever Done...

My most exciting detail was back in late 2003 when I did my first machine polsihing job on my own car. I opened up pandoras box from there. I was gitty just to try the PC. I think I had used something like SSR1 with EX and souveran over it.

I agree. I really love detailing a car for someone that knows at least a little something about the process and will keep the car up. Those details are much more rewarding.

The nicest car Ive ever detailed is also a Bentley Continental GT. Ive detailed it twice and the owner also brings it the the car wash.
