Detail Review (lots of PICS = not 56k friendly)
Who: Buff Auto Appearance - Premium mobile detailing company.
Website: Buff Auto Appearance.com
Where: my house (they come to you)
Car: MSM Lexus IS300
I got referred to these guys by a friend who got a detail from them sometime last fall. I emailed Lou to setup and appointment for this past Saturday 3/14/2009. Lou and Jim showed up with their badass truck with everything you needed for a detail (microfiber towels, chemicals, tools, etc..). They even brought their own water and generator. The truck...truly a work of art on its own :approve: . Honestly, this was probably the best detail ive ever gotten from anyone on this car including the one from the dealers. They took care of this car like it was their own. They mainly stay around NJ and are based in Cedar Grove, NJ, but they come to you. i would definitely send them an email or give them a call to setup an appointment. its worth it, trust me on that. the interior and the exterior is pristine...the interior is cleaner than its ever been and the exterior looks like it came straight off the showroom. the paint is slicker than ice...the way it should be, the engine bay looks like the car has never even been driven. i am extremely impressed by their work and i fully back them with confidence. if youre getting a detail definitely check these guys out...theyll come to you and give you great results...along with some good conversation. i will definitely give Lou and Jim a call again. Awesome guys and awesome results. :approve: :approve: :approve: check the pics/posts below for the results.
^^the truck
^^ whats in the back...generator and that white fridge like object is where they have the water.
^^some of the materials and secret formulas they brought
^^where they store some of the stuff on the truck
^^not only are they friendly guys...but theyre environmentally friendly too. for all you green folks out there. great for your car and great for the environment...how could you beat that?
After moving my ride out into the driveway, the work began.......

Once the car was dry it was on to making the car shine...
^^Lou breaking out the clay bar and working the exterior
^^Jim checking to see if i left any change in the car:lol: . just kidding, he's gettin started on the interior...which he thinks is underappreciated sometimes. i agree.
^^more interior work
^^more clay bar work

^^ taping down the moldings, getting ready to polish and wax...get rid of some scratches too. the silver metallic hides the scratches real well so some of them ive never seen before. but Lou kept a sharp eye during his clay bar session.

^^Getting some of the windows done...streak free shine
^^ Jim hard at work in the interior
^^some interior shots with the work being done inside. car is honestly cleaner than its ever been since its been in my possession...the dealer detail doesnt compare to this...its an insult to even put it at the same level of detail and prep as this.
