Hey Friends,
I just thought I would post up a couple pictures of some of the nasty things I have encountered over the years of detailing. I worked for a commercial detail shop/car wash for 8 years, and am now going on my own this spring on a weekend basis. Thanks for looking!
Car had scraped up against something, customer did not specify...

deep scratch that required some wetsanding. Used a hand applicator with 3000 grit to level it out a bit. Wrapped it up with megs 105 on wool and topped with 205 on a foam polishing pad.

Hammered old Mazda, Meguiars microfiber correction kit was used here. Due to being a commercial operation we do not have the flexability to use a rotary at will...still turned out ok.

Heavily oxidized paint and swirled, same process as above.

Finished Black M4 with about 3,000 miles on the clock. Forgive the less than stellar photo, I wasn`t supposed to take it in the first place ;)

Super nasty leather seat. I left the cleaning product on there to dwell, then steam cleaned the entire seat.

What a world of difference!!
Thats all for now. I apologize I dont have any fancy shots or more before and afters, I scrounged up what I could from my phone and photobucket. Many more to come once I start on my own with my Company Brilliance Auto!
Thanks for looking!
