Thanks you. It's great to get compliments from people in the business. I know that since detailing my car, I feel like I'm driving a better car than before lol I'm proud to show it off now. I feel like my cars worth a whole lot more!

It really is a great job, you should be proud. I agree with you that ya feel like you're driving a "better car" I know the feeling.

And Actually it is worth a whole lot more. Fact is you do get a lot more both in trade or sale when they can see how a car has been maintained and cared for.

For sure, i loved the feeling, it was like my jeep turned into a band new sports car. Drove it with more caution than before haha. Coulnt have done the work without the extremely helpful advice from people on this forum as to what products they recomended and such. :autopia:

This is exactly the way I feel when I'm finished detailing my own vehicles....I could not have said it better.... :bigups :bigups
 
Nice job!

To store them on this site they need to be under 1MB file and then they can be uploaded here. I found that out when I first started on this site last fall.

Dean. :bigups
 
So i wanted to do an update, I re-cleaned my car today on the outside and got rid of some more minor scratches (where the heck do they come from, they pop up every day) and re cleaned the engine. My worst enemy is my driveway and neighbours. My driveway is dirt and so is the buisness beside do alot of dust tends to fall on my car. Actually right after i washed my car and got rid of the scratches my car had a very light dusting on it :( Anyways here are the pics

Drivers side


Passengers side


Engine. I cant believe how this came out. The last time i did the engine i used Poorboys Natural look dressing and it turned out well but this time i used Chemical guys super shine dressing and it turned out amazing, for sure my go to dressing now.

Anyways just wanted to post this, Thanks guys

Everything still looks great! Hard to keep those tires clean on a dirt driveway though!

for sure, i normally do everything on the grass and let it dry there before backing it out so my tires dont get muddy. Gets dusty but not much i can do unfortunately.
