Wow ... you`re only 13? You did a fantastic job. My favorite shot is with the trees reflecting off the trunk (boot) lid.

Great job on the detail!: goodjob



Its kind of hard to tell from the after pics, but did you dress the wheelwells, or arches as I guess you refer to them in the UK? If so, what did you use?

I was still washing with a towel and dawn at 13, but you are amazing. Great work and I look forward to reading any other posts you have.

[ConglomrationAL]

At 13 you`re well on your way. I`m 21 and didn`t even think about detailing until I got my own car at 18. Even then I didn`t know as much as you and you`re 13!!! Great job and good looking out for your future.

Excellent job! Very wet finish on that 7!



BTW, didn`t know you could even get a 6 cylinder engine in the 7 series. I guess that is a European option? :nixweiss

Paint looks nice and glossy!



Like Scott said, hard to believe they put that engine in the 7 series.

Awsome work man, I`m 15, and I kow what its like to have to undercharge a bit. Anyway I think i read on your last thread you planing on moving up to rotary, do it!! Really, once you learn it well its so much faster and I believe it produces better results.



Nice work!

your only 13 ? wow great job. how did u get started? how big is your clientele?

[DetailMyRide]

I am really 13. I got started as i was fed up of having a dirty car, after i started to go to car shows, and wanted that show car finish on our cars, so got into detailing.



My rate of work is good, im doing an average of 2 cars a week
