Hey guys, I'm new to Autogeek and I was looking around the site and found out that there's so many products to choose from! I'm gonna start listing down the tools I have and perhaps someone can help me upgrade/recommend me some stuff from here! But first, I'm gonna show you my work!

So I started this auto detailing as a side job/hobby. Who would've known my first job would be one of my favorite, if not, dream car - the beastly Nissan GT-R.

Car had a lot of moderate to minor swirls. Lots of left over watermarks. After the detail, the owner did not recognize his own car and is giving me a whole bunch of other cars to detail.

Total work hours = 14

Here she is!

Wiping off the sealant and then letting it bond with the coat for 24 hours. I need a wash on my IS-F as well :)

WOW. Such a SWEET fuggin car!!!!! nice one man!!!!!
 
Nice job on your Black GT-R. The Nissan Dealership in my town has a Red one in the showroom they are suppose to deliver this week. There is a New '10 (I think) Black one sitting outside in the sun baking. When the Red one is gone, they want me to go there and make that Black one shine so I can sit in the showroom floor. I will use DP MaxWax on it and really make it shine. :D OR, I could use some Fuzion on it. I think the MaxWax would be better for it though.

btw - What part of Texas do you live. I see you have an EZ Tag in the windshield, so, you live in Houston or the Dallas area. he he

Thanks! Well, that's not my GT-R. It's actually a customer's. I have IS-F though.

So how do you go about dealerships and advertise your detailing work?

Ahhhhhh... Clients GT-R. cool

As for dealerships, It's very hard to get work from them since they do not wish to pay people money to have the vehciles look nice. My father knows all the car dealerships down here in the valley since my family has been in the auto industry for 40+ years. Also, they know what my detailing work looks like.

I love that car. Can you fit a baby seat in the back?:D
 
I WANT PICS OF THE LS-F!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GOD I LOVE THOSE!!! ive actually seen CATIA files on the LS-F!!!
 
nice work. Those cars are def. to die for. Love the Skylines just wish i could afford one. LoL
 
Nice work man,

I think if I had an IS-F, I wouldnt be that jealous of the gt-r. The IS-F has plenty of go !

What kind of work do you do? Not just everyone even knows what CATIA is... (Maybe more than I think though?)

That car is amazing! Beautiful! Great job on it.

Very very nice work. That's such a gorgeous car, love to see one in person up close (only seen one around here and it was going the other way down the freeway).
 
Don't get me wrong i like Lexus IS-F's but man Skylines are incredible as well. Can't seem to get away from Turbo's!
