How long did that magnificent job take you?

Great job! Really awesome job on the engine bay. I wanted to hurl when I saw the befores of the interior that was gross. I remember detailing an interior once almost that dirty. I found an old partially eaten lollipop stuck to the carpet in the back seat. YUCK!!! This is why I don`t detail other people`s cars anymore.

That interior made me want to vomit. Awesome work!

Your work continually impresses me. I think you`re a top notch detailer.

I`ve noticed that too - I`ve never removed the compound residue after compounding, initially because I didn`t know any better, and now because I don`t think it matters. Sames a lot of time and less chance to induce marring, as far as I`m concerned.

Thanks!!

I did it mostly in the interest of time, but it seemed to work well. I was careful to make sure that the compound had broken down fully before moving. My thinking was that if anything was NOT brken down, it could mar upon removal. Not sure if theat even mattered since I was chasing it with the polish, which was removed section by section.????

Thanks man, I apprecite that!!

Thanks you to everyone else!!

Mitchubishievo, I started at about 6:00 a.m. (that`s why the first pics are in the dark) and ended around 3:30 p.m. I did break for lunch and for about 30 minutes to feed my son. It was a full day though. Thank god I was able to do the detail at home!!!

**Mitchubishievo** · 10-02-2005, 07:59 PM

RPMs=Rotary, so he compounded and polished with the rotary, and then again polished with a Cyclo.

I have never seen anything from you but top notch work, but those engine pictures are unbelievable!!!

BTW, do you use your pressure washer to wash cars?
