DAMN barry I think that car was worse then the turd your brought in for the detailing class. Id bet you added at least a grand to what that car is worth. Amazing

Nice work!



That's one of the worst built cars ever. Just replacing a fender is a PIA...



thanks man. I heard there pretty badly built from a buddy.

Damn, all that in only 11 hours, impressive.



I know that is pretty fast, dry sanding is a very fast way to do some serious removal. 1200 made it a lot quicker to. thanks man.

You sanded those curvy fenders with the DA? Not that there's really a flat surface on the whole car...did you do some of it by hand?



no setec it was all on a da. I sanded one tiny spot by hand along the hood. they make interface pads that go beteen the da backing plate and the paper for this one I used a 1 inch foam interface. it really contours the rounded edges.

bufferbarry- Hey, I'm late to this party, but I wanted to add my usual :bow regarding your work. You also do a great job of photographing your jobs :xyxthumbs



Interesting that you go straight from 1200 to the buffer, rather than doing another sanding with milder paper :think:
 
That a boy Barry! You spoiled that bug! Look into 3M 3000 Trizact if you get a chance. 2-3 passes with it and it will level out all the pigtails from that 1200 & leave finish refined enough for a light compound.

I have some of the trizact 3000 I love it a lot. I usally go 1500 3000, but I was bored and thought I would change it up! thanks for the compliments man.

Me and everyone at my computer must know....how much does this amount of work cost?



85 per panel and that includes the exterior finishing.
 
Yeah accumulator, I keep try to keep everything at a decent price. I make my money elsewhere in the business detailing is just a supporting factor of the big picture. I love it to much to ever gove it up. Im actually looking at a shop in hershey pa i may get and go full retail. It has 4 bays with two lifts, one for the wash bay and for the compounding area. hopefully its in the business budget.

That sounds like a big commitment (in a good way) with all sorts of potential.



Lots of stuff to consider though, thinking of all the various regs and all...But this might be a good time to be looking at commercial properties, huh?
 
yeah hershey pa is a pretty upscale town with lots of money and its a half hour from the house. I can afford it, its a matter of do I want to go that route ya know. I really don't need all the headaches, but I'll see soom. I didn't commit on a lease yet, but I got the guy down in price for lease and made an offer on purchase. we will see. I'd rather own it then anything, not sure if he wants to sell
