AC -



What are your thoughts on the GI pads. Looks like both GI Pads and backing plate...

Those pads are quite pricey....
 
Nice Job Bob! how long did the correction process take? Is that your garage or the clients...The floor looks nice, wondering what kind of coating is on there?
 
Email GI direct. AFAIK, it's not on the site and you have to email me them so they can generate a invoice manually,
 
Thanks for the kind words from everyone, to answer about the GI products on this particular detail I used a mixture of products so it was not a GI commercial(lol) obviously I think the world of the line as it is strong and well rounded and everybody is starting to see this.



Paint correction is the foundation of Detailing skills as paint is the first thing you see when you view a car, that being said more and more education has become available to the service provider and from the clients perspective as well. Auto detailing is still viewed as a low skill position, look at the correction Brian Burnsworth just completed on the Infiniti because the Dealership and Bodyshop used had no clue what they were doing(epidemic imho).



His skill set allowed him to fix a car that his customer in most cases would have had to live with and I am happy to see like minded ocd detailers here who do things to the "enth degree"and do not accept "good enough".

LOL :funnypost



Seriously though, you are a big dude. How tall are you? :nervous2:



Absolutely fantastic work by the way- it is very clear that you are extremely good at the art of detailing. :2thumbs:
 
PERFECT color combo (Audi's should be white or blue IMHO) and great work, the paint looks electric. You know a 'Bob thread' is going to have amazing cars done right.

Well big is relative, in the gym the day before this detail and a defensive end from the Raiders was using the squat rack next to me with 650 lbs on the bar, when he was in between sets I said out loud "who took all the 45lbs plates" like I was pissed then I said "you know I was kidding right" then he started to laugh... (thank god) guy name was Akeil but did not get the last name and he is on the practice squad, I am six feet 260 this guy is six feet nine 368 pounds:shocked so you see big is relative.
