John... you do beautiful work! I have a few questions for you.
1. You mentioned having to remove 'holograms' from one of the cars. What is that?
2. Do you detail engines? (I didn't see that on your 'Services' page).
3. How much can you power-buff paint on a new car before you start to be concerned about the finish/depth of the paint?
Thanks!
Bill

A. Holograms are created by a buffer. Someone previously detailed that car and did not know how to use a buffer or used the wrong pads/wax etc...
B. I do not do engine details
C. It all depends on the condition of the new car.

Hey everyone,
Customer wanted to get his car detailed for selling purposes. Car was in bad shape. I couldnt get a good angle to capture the swirls but they were definitely there.
ProcesS:
Wash
Clay
SIP w/ orange pad @ 1700 rpm
106ff w/ white pad @ 1400 rpm
jet seal (GREAT STUFF!!!)

hey I'm pretty new to this stuff but I got a quick question...if your car has swirl marks, are you supposed to wet sand it at all?? the steps shown on this thread seems like wash clay and then different types of polishes with different pads, am i correct? oh yeah and if you're using an electronic buffer (not your hands), how do you get to the hard-to-get parts? (for example the area around the license plate lol)
BEAUTIFUL work btw.
