The ultimate detailer???

[Thomas Dekany]

After going deeper into his site....



Plus, I too noticed most of his pics have the car in the shade.

But the ones with the lights on look swirl free though.



I am pretty sue he does excellent work.

I flipped through the site and I LOVE it, really put together well. The cars in the gallery that I saw looked swirl free, the worked looked top notch to me.



One things for sure, this guy would be a huge asset to this community. I would love to pick his brain about various aspects of detailing.



Props to him.

Probably does but sun shots really show the work best and any flaws that might remain. My only real problem is the overselling of the cost of the Zymol waxes and his durability assertations. Pretty good marketing though, seems to work for him.

I`ve seen better "miracle details" here on Autopia and from guys like Mike Phillips. Plus, the moment he mentioned Zymol, I was like :hm

[SVR]

Yep interesting website

Zymol for me is overpriced crud and there is no such thing as natural "WHITE" carnuaba

It`s probably #1 yellow wax bleached and why would anyone pay that kind of money for a wax

Collinite and TOL pizzaz at $30 USD for a pot does the job for me



Still be great to have him on here.

[EBPcivicsi]

The point is, he has carved out a niche in the market. It doesn`t matter if he uses TW, nufinish, or any other brand. The customer obviously believes in him, his marketing skills are fantastic, and from what I can see, he is a great detailer.



I say we do whatever it takes to get him here. I would love to see this guy become a regular.



Good for him, I am glad for him and would love to hear his thoughts.

My thoughts exactly.

I sent an email to Paul a few days ago and have not hear back from him. Maybe a few more of us should shoot him an email and let him know that he is welcome to join us here at Autopia.

Fifth Gear Detail video:

The video shows all his steps:

:grinno:

[Dave Pickett]

From what I saw he is nothing that special, way above my standard but I am sure many on here could match him. What he has done well is marketing and built a reputation and an aura around what he does, and good luck to him!!!!

[ScubaStevo]

I personally feel I could produce just as good a results. I don`t charge nearly as much as him though. Give me a week to work on a vehicle, and a $2000 price tag, and I`ll put a **** load of effort into it as well.

[Anthony O.]

You know who loves this guy? The people he buys his products from! He is all about how much this or that costs...with the mindset that since he pays 5,000 pounds for a wax it MUST be the best and people likewise think the same thing.



He also seeks to impress people with his many "steps" yet I never consider rinsing a "step" nor do I see cleaning wheels as a seperate "step". Now this may boil down to personal likes and such but for me "step 1" is a hand wash which includes rinse, wash, rinse, drying, wheels and tires.......wheels and tires done FIRST and not after you dried the car because you`ll end up drying the car again around the wheel areas.



Also is it just me or is that video filled with misinformation? So it`s the ONLY wax that comes from Brazil? It sets up hard as concrete and lasts 6 months? What`s so special about the clay he uses, how does it differ from Brand X?



The difference is marketing and using keywords that tickle the consumers ears. I`ll give him credit there. Other than that I am not that impressed and as I said earlier....I have seen just as good or better here on Autopia from non-pros.

[ScubaStevo]

Exactly, with the vehicles he`s working on, I`d expect nothing but perfection, especially since he works on literally brand new vehicles.



Its like, oh look at me, I did this to a car that only had 10000 miles.

[Scottwax]

:LOLOL Steve!



Let`s see him do what he does to some of the cars we detail. Like minivans.



Got to hand it to him though, he is convincing some very rich people to part with a lot of money.

Hell, if I had those kinda marketing skills, I`d be making a **** load of money too. I don`t rip people off though.
