Nice work Guys. Awesome turnaround.. :woot:

Thanks Pat!

Awesome work as always.



To change the depth of field in some of the photos, did you use a longer lens or are they blurs in Photoshop?

Thanks



Both, I used paintshoppro to try to blur some of the photos (didn't come out to well but all I know how to do on those programs is add borders/text) and a longer photos with a wide apeture...

You guys are a great team and do awesome work. You have a great climate and beautiful cars to work on.



Going into a job, that requires such drastic measures, what is your procedure to discuss the timetable and the work that will be involved, to the customer.

Thanks Salty. I don't know if we have a"procedure" to discuss the timetable, but we are honest. If this is your business, then obviously you have to charge for everything you do (which is what our clients expect or the clients you want to work for should expect). Brian and I are brutally honest with our clients and present honest opinions, and discuss the various options are clients have.



Brian and I are very selective of the clients we have, and only wish to work with clients who want nothing but the best. If they are not interested in the best possible work, then there are plenty of guys who do less for much less. If that doesn't make sense, PM me and we can discuss it...

Awesome comeback.



I haven't worked on a black Infiniti yet, but I hear they suck .

Yep, very sucky..

I just wanted to jump in here to say what a great job Todd did on my car (the 1st G in this thread).

I had recently purchased the car, and it came with all kinds of swirls and light damage from the dealership. After researching and learning quite a bit about detailing and correction through autopia, I decided to get a professional to work on the car with the hope of at least getting out the more noticable scratches.

Todd came by this past weekend and the results are much better than I had expected. I can't believe how great this car looks (I thought it looked great before but what a huge difference).

Well worth the cost. But as they say on the infomercials.... That's not all!

Todd put up with me asking a thousand questions, educated me further on details of product, and even showed me how to use a porter cable machine.

All I can say is wow, and thanks Todd!

Hey Mike, it was a pleasure meeting you and working on your beautiful sedan. That thing is gorgeous (I think you just cost me mony because my wife really wants one!). Thanks for the kind words (your check is in the mail, lol).!

looks good

Thanks!

Fantastic work guys!



How long did the first car take?

Thanks Thomas, about 5 hours... 4 hours of polishing and 1 hour for clean up and LSP application.

Thanks Josh. I know it sounds funny, but I kind of enjoy it. I love to look at my clients, raise my eyebrows, and say something stupid like "wish me luck"...

very nice job!

Thanks Platinum!

You're right, that's too fun, I did that only one time with a guy who is absolutely paranoid about his new vette, it's so funny to watch them react.....well I thought it was funny anyways.

The shop that worked on the second one, yikes. How could someone do that to another's car? It looked like they didn't even attempt to follow up the wet sand?



Either way great work on both cars.



What wet sand paper (brand) were you using Todd? I have been playing with Megs Unigrit for fun on my trashed bumpers and I like it. Haven't tried 3M though.

Yeah it was nasty, the scuffs were very random in most cases, they didn't even make close to a uniform sanding mark. I actually sanded the parts down with 3m's papers, and Todd cleaned it up with the rotary.
