    Did an Accord for a member this weekend! He contacted me through Atuopia and I can`t tell you how glad I was that he did!! Super nice guy, very well kept car, very generous tipper and just a very nice experience all together!! Just one of those "kids" that kind of restores your faith in the future of the planet!! Plus he booked his sister`s Mercedes for October (My first available weekend)!!



    Pretty normal car, some swirling and a few water spots but nothing like I have had to do in the past couple weeks!! This was an "exterior only" detail.



    Process

    EZ Detail brush

    Topped w/OS

    Tires

    KAIO w/white CCS

    Topped w/Natty`s Blue x2

    You do great work, and I love the way you structure your write-ups with before/after shots together. I am going to try to do mine like yours in the future.

    Thank you for the compliment!! I really appreciate that!!



    It has just always made sense to do the write ups that way. Makes it easier to keep track of it when posting and easier for the reader to follow along!!

    Mike, of course I had to comment on my own vehicle! Here comes the constructive criticism.....



    Okay maybe not? haha Thank you for the kind words, it is always nice to hear that and I`m sure my parents will appreciate knowing that their kid came out alright! LOL.



    I don`t really need to say much about the condition of the vehicle, lets just say that after I picked it up from your house, it went straight to the garage where it will stay until my semester starts. The perfect part about it all is that you don`t live that far away and I can get to your place without taking the freeway!

    I never really post on this forum but you know I had to post on my own car!



    A little constructive criticism...



    I don`t have any! haha. First and foremost, thanks for the kind words, they are very humbling and I`m sure my parents will be glad to know that their child came out alright lol. Second, I can`t really say much about the vehicle because the photos speak for themselves. I could not be happier with the finish!



    It`s funny because one of the reasons why I chose to go to you Mike is the fact that you didn`t live too far away from me. That means that I didn`t have to take the freeway back home and I could get the car in the garage ASAP! It still sits in Sacramento until my semester starts up this upcoming week lol.



    Thanks again for everything!
