Today`s free "details"

[Thomas Dekany]

This couple also sees me for massages. Very nice couple so I gave them early Xmas presents.



Today I was suppose to vacume the trunk, that I somehow forgot to do on 10.23.04. Since they were on their way back from LA & I had some free time, I gave the cabriolet a wash and waxed it.

I used PwC and NXT 6 weeks ago.

Today the paint felt ok, but there was no beading what so ever so I put a coat of FK1 pink wax on it. Felt so smooth afterwards! :D

AA on rubber/plastic.

So after I was done with the VW, I decided to give the Lexus a much needed wash. The paint however still felt slick and smooth so I didn`t do any waxing. I want to see how long this combo lasts. Both cars sit outside 24/7



I took these wet pictures about 5 minutes after the rinse. Still looking very good.

Very nice work. Please update us on the FK1 pink wax and how well (or not!) it holds up.

You`re too kind!



My friend`s dad is having me do a full exterior this coming Saturday on their van. I told him the price, and he started to yank my chain. Apparently I was his daughter`s first boyfriend, so that must warrant a discount! :p



How `bout some pics of your car. That wheel/tire setup is too :cool:

[Thomas Dekany]

Thanks Scott! I will definately keep you guys updated.

PS: If I ever get to my car (I finally gave it a quick wash today) this is what I decided on using:

Rotary

ip

fp II

FK1 2180 (sealant)



pc

pink wax



:D :D :D

I have gotten 3 (4th is coming this tuesday) full details because of the husband, so I am just returning a favor.



I washed my car after these 2 "with the same sheepskin mitt" and noticed light swirls all over the car. Paint also looks very flat.



BUt quess what I had saved just for you? An older picture! :D

Dang wheel buldge! How do you fit that vac in your car? Been thinking of getting a small one but it ain`t possible!

[MongooseGA]

What`s H3S3T?



What size tires are the fronts/rears? Really cool look.



BTW, how can I sneak a detail in as a Christmas gift for my parents if that`s what I do every week anyway? I need some cash :(

Holly/Sam/Thomas - 33 suppose to stand for unconditional love. (new age kind of idea) Don`t ask! Sam is the child and we protect him with that sort of love.



Explain your question please? (you need $ and want to sneak a detail in as a gift?)

It fits perfectly on the back seat, I just have to be careful with the ins and outs.

this is a pretty large one, just get a smaller one. Those are verypowerful too and take up less space.

First off, All Praise the Rock God! Zepplin is playing on the Radio!



Anyway:



Alot of members detail family/friends` cars as gifts. How can I con my parents into thinking a detail is a gift, if I live with them and do it every week anyway? :lol



And since I can`t do that, I need cash to buy real gifts ;)

[Thomas Dekany]

I see!



Do a full detail and use different products.



Helpful?



BTW - where is the money that you make detailing?

I have met Robert Plant once - very down to earth guy. I am also a big fan.



Do you listen to radio?
