Alright, so I have been cleaning many cars over the years, but this is the first complete detail I have done. Well, as good as I could have done with the tools I had. This car was rediculous. It was never detailed before, and filthy as sh@# on the inside. I did not have any cutting pads and no rotary or 7472. I just used the orbital buffer. that is all I had. So be nice please.. I think it turned out pretty decent. After the car was done... that was it, now I am hooked. So now I am saving up for a whole bunch of stuff. After people saw his car. now they want thiers done as well. So I figure I can do this on the side for now, and hopefully in the future this could turn into my full time gig. I find it fun, theraputic, and the end result as well as the customer face makes it all worth it, and the $$$ helps also. So here are some before and after shots. First time posting as well. So hello everyone! I am sure I will have plenty of questions. I have been nonstop reading on this site for about two weeks now. just filling my head with endless information. Hope the pics work!
