Ditto that^^^
I thought I could detail a ride, but holy mother of mercy you put some floss on that bad boy! Where in TX are you located? Cost of a job like that?
 
nice detailing, takes a lot of time to go that far with one
 
That's not automobile ownership... It's a marriage.........

Damn nice job... beautiful car....

Well done...

Roughly in the neighborhood of $800.00+... Anything less than that, the detailer is cheating himself.

The swissvax alone is $2900.00 a can....

The world's most exclusive car wax - specially blended for a particular car and paint.

Each year, we blend for a very limited number of collectors and enthusiasts a wax of most exceptional quality containing over 60% by volume of ultra pure Brazilian white carnauba. It is made to order and is specially formulated to meet the paint system of one particular automobile.

:eek: Is it really worth it and how long does it last??(the can itself and after applied)
 
ah, winter time in NJ...a time to get the car all clean for spring car shows
 
I wish I knew a detailer how knows his sh*t like this guy. People wonder why I would spend 2 days detailing my cars in the past. The end result speaks for itself. However, it does suck to go through that first puddle.
I like how you mentioned "paint correction" because thats just what it is. Correcting what someone fked up.
 
Where in nj is this shop located? contact info i would like to get some of my vehicals done. im from toms river nj....by the pic it looks like central nj burlington county but i might be wrong. good job.
 
Wow you guys are everywhere... thats the guy i bring my car to.

Amazing isnt the word if you saw some of the correction work he does!!
He is about 20min from tapanze bridge in jersey.. i havent brought my truck there yet but my car is going in soon.. A complete detail takes about 2 days

He is expensive but the level of detail is amazing.. and its not your typical every month detail. I usually take care of all my own detailing and go to him every year or year and a half..
