Detailing a customer's BMW 335i today. Man, this car was in extremely rough shape. It was almost like the person washed their vehicle with steel wool.

Can you tell what half of the trunk was polished? lol

Looks great Shane!

My truck could use a good polish...not sure it's going to happen this summer though.

I use pretty much Menzerna polishes exclusively and the ones I used for the detail were Super Intensive Polish for the first pass with my Flex 3401 and then Super Finish for the second pass. Menzerna products in general are fawking rock solid stuff!!

I need to get a few lessons from you so I can give the Foz a good shine this summer. She's still got the factory swirls.

That's the one! And previous owner swirls likely.

Yup, absolutely true. The people that prep brand new cars are typically teenagers making $10 an hour that don't have a clue how to prep a car properly. Not their fault as they aren't properly trained. I couldn't count how many customers have brought their brand new car to me for a new vehicle prep with a ton of swirl marks and spider webbing.

Absolutely buddy, anything you need just let me know!

Detailed a customer's Jetta today. They park in a parking garage in Saint John during work hours and God knows what leaked from the ceiling onto their paint. It's like a rust type of liquid that got completely etched into the paint and was a real PITA to remove. This is a very frequent occurrence in this particular parking garage and they will only pay to have your car detailed once. Unfortunately for the owner of this Jetta, this is the second time that it's happened and now they have to pay out of pocket. ::)
