Photo Album

Just One More Coat
I've started a photo album for the cars that I have cleaned. On the real bad ones I try for before and after pics. I use this when I see potential customers. Its really helped to win biz as most can see that I have worked on all levels of cars.

Anyone else doing this as a marketing idea.
 
that's a great idea...I've seen them before...we used to do that in the body shop.....

crashed vs repaired

dull vs shiny ...i like shiny:D
 
Thanks I need to get some products from you. I would like to get some tire cleaner I did a 76 450Sl MB yesterday and the tires where a nightmare to get clean.
Also what high end product do you have for leather. I'm using Lexol but would like to see higher end stuff as well.

Here is a pic the others did not come out that well so I'm going to get more, iuts my next door neighbors car.
 
That looks good for a 27 year old Mercedes....isn't living in CA great...old cars never seem to age....

I remember an old woman who came in to the body shop in Culver city with a 56 T-bird (black)
totally oxidized..she was the original owner and had a dent ...
she asked us if we could repair it with out making it shiny:confused:

I told her that there was no way we could match a 30year old car(at that time) with oxidation, but we could wet sand it, polish it and make it look all new again...she said she'd live with the dent...go figure....I gave her my card and told her to call me if she changed her mind....:rolleyes: needless to say I never saw the car again....

The older leather's like the ones in that Mercedes really need the oils to revive them, the newer leathers which are coated really need only water-based products to keep them new...

I take it that you have a good tire/wheel brush ...then tires and wheels should come right back with good products....
 
Here is one that I will add to the album its my black BMW after a fresh coat of Klasse, I did this today on my day off...LOL
 
I keep seperate photo albums on the autos, boats, motorcycles, and planes that I do. That way I can show a customer pictures of similar items that I am doing for them. I also use the photos to get the customers back in for services.
