So I was a co-sponser of the Orinda Classic Car Show. I had about 30 cars in the show that were detailed by my shop. Feel free to goto my Facebook page
https://www.facebook.com/orindaautodetail To see the album with all the cars in it. I just thought I would post a few pics I liked here. It was awesome success I booked my self out for the next 2 months straight just because I put cars I did next ones that other shops did and it was real easy to say "US" point and then say "Them" with out looking like I was throwing anyone under the bus lol. I also had the bel air I did full wet sand and polish on center stage in the middle of the show(Tragically this car was ran into a lift post the day after the show moving it by the hosting shop :() Non the less during the shop it was an absolute stopper I asked over 100 people what the shiniest car at the show was and all of them with out hesitation said the bel air. Great advertisement! So If you can get in with a car show it pays off well!

This was my actual tent set up for Orinda Auto Detail. The car I featured here is the only Orange Boss 302 in california complete with track key and all. I did a 40 hour leveling or peel on this car and the owner was nice enough to let me use it under my tent.

M cars??? Some of you might remember the write up I did on this M5 heavy bird etchings and hackage. Still swirl free 3 months later as I`ve been the only one to touch since the correction

The most expensive toyota I`ve ever worked on. The goal with this car was presevation more than correction.

I got like 75% of the swirls out and left some rids the paint was just to thin to much more.

Intrestingly enough this was probably the most valuble car here and it was a toyota. Even worth more than the Rolce behind it lol
