S4, GTR, Prius, '78 Corvette, Miata

2011 Audi S4. Owner drove up from Houston to Plano to purchase the car and had me give it a good once over before he headed back to Houston. It was in surprisingly good shape, appears if the dealer did do anything, it didn't involve a buffer.

2009 Nissan GTR. Detailed it earlier this year, owner wanted it cleaned up for a car show that weekend. Probably going to do a full correction (got the really bad stuff knocked out with the first detail) and Opti-Coat it in the spring, but for now just a light polish and seal.

2009 Toyota Prius. The owner of this car was about 12 when I started taking care of his Dad's cars back in 1994. His Dad has since retired and moved to Santa Fe but he and his brother still call me from time to time to have their cars detailed. Paint was in pretty good shape, interior was messy but not terribly stained. Main issue is how cheap the carpet is in the Prius.

1978 Chevy Corvette 25th Anniversary Edition. 220 hp L-82 350 and only 38,000 miles on it. Paint and interior are original. Owner just picked it up at the Mecum Auction in Dallas. Also had the CB radio option and gymkhana suspension. Paint has some staining (like something dripped on it for a long time but is otherwise in terrific shape.

2008 Mazda Miata. Owner had removed the vinyl stripes to replace them, wanted the remaining adhesive removed and car polished and sealed before putting the stripes back on. Really could use a full correction but there are some body damage issues (you can see in both front fenders) and a sand blasted front bumper that need to be addressed first.

Agree with you on the Prius, for the price - they cheaped out on the interior. I do a red one on a maintenance basis; I can't help but feel like Will Ferrell from "the other guys" when I drive that thing.

The Corvette - my neighbor bought one new, put it on a flatbed and trucked it to his garage, it's still there under a cover!

Nice work there Scott, hope you're enjoying the nice weather we've had lately.

Excellent job. I did a Prius today (just vac and interior wipe down for the inside) and was shocked how cheap the carpets and paneling was made.

I thought the carpet in Mazda3s was bad...then I detailed a Prius. :lol



Hope your neighbor wasn't expecting a 25th Anniversary Corvette to be worth a ton of money, this one with 37k miles on it at the auction only brought $18,500 and its a loaded L-82 model. A couple L-48 350 versions (the 180 hp 350) sold for about $5000 less. Still, for the late 70s, the L-82 Corvettes were quick...although my '74 Z/28 with an L-82 unencumbered by a catalytic converter and faux dual exhaust, making 25 hp more and putting it through a 4 speed and 3.73 gears would have smoked one! And a low mileage (16k miles) '74 Z/28 went for $36,000 at the same auction!

Nice work there Scott, hope you're enjoying the nice weather we've had lately.

Other than the wind (which bugs me more when working outside than when riding my bike) its been great! Long range forecast is calling for a warmer than normal winter. Sure hope so!

I guess everything is designed with weight reduction in mind...at least I am sure that's what they tell the people buying them if they complain!
