You passed on one of the higher paying dealer preps. The idea behind accepting this price is volume. Any new/used car dealer account you're able to secure is ultimately going to become your bread and butter when the regular detailing business dies down. Dealers need this work completed rain...

Lol, did I say surprised?? For Christ's sake it's called a question. Take a minute and re-read the last few comments. Wow, talk about blown out of proportion.

No, it's an opinion on your part. I have posted my/our work not only here, but also amongst numerous other forums. I am more OCD than I will ever admit to and this keeps me from letting any vehicle go without thoroughly inspecting the quality whether it be my personal work or that of an...

This paint really isn't any worse than any BMW Jet Black would be due to regular washing/drying. Using the proper technique and products is what keeps jobs like this to no more than a full work day. 3 stage polishing is much easier on the Euro vehicle paint than that of Domestic paints...

Take the comment however you like. I was just asking. 20 hours seems like an exceptionally long time for this detail. Yes, I did pay a compliment to you, but am guessing you missed that.

:xyxthumbs:But you didn't clean the inner wheel barrels??? That makes ALL the difference. What's your hourly rate? $20 per? 8-9 hours tops, but the work looks great.

Yup

I typically work this at speed setting #6 on the Flex.

Thanks man. The '56 was purchased from the Barrett auto auction as a gift for his wife. One of my favorite details and customers.

Absolutely. :props: By the way, I long ago kissed my social life goodbye with this business venture. Have a great girlfriend to be social with though. :xyxthumbs:

If your technique needs some improvement then yes, there might be some marring left behind from the 95. The liklihood though is that there would be no marring left behind ........ with the Dakar (if properly polished) the color will be so bright any minor blemishes will be made transparent. A...

Its the same for us. However, we have had companies come to us asking to offer on site services to their employees as well as residents. I wasn't sure I wanted the company to head in that direction, but it is definitely a win win situation not only with the amount of income each brings, but...

As I am fairly new to the Austin, TX area (28 years in the business though) it has taken less than 2 years to take my company from a few cars during the week to having 3 full time employees and one part timer. I personally oversee or am involved with all of the work being performed as well as...

Thank you sir ......... these are just the cars that I personally work on. Winter time hits and all of the corporate accts get us through the slower times. Gettin' it while we can .......... :dblthumb2:

Meguiars Speed Cut (#95) with a yellow pad followed by the JetSeal 109 would be a great finish. Better still, follow the polish up with the CG Blacklight. I work on more BMWs than any other brand and have also worked on the Dakar yellow. These products will yield excellent results.

So, I have everyone else working today and thought I would try to enjoy a day off for a change. Here are a few pics of some of my customer's rides ...... All of these pictures can be found in their original "Before & After" shots here: Shade Tree Auto Detailing Pictures 2008 BMW 335i 2010...
