[pirex]

Hey. This car was in a really bad shape, its a beater, so not gotten mutch love lately. I saved the poor care from the death Its a bit fun to do really bad cars to, get to test your self to the max :righton: I started off with PC and XMT 360, but the pc gets to slow for me now, its a bit sad...buts thats the fact!

Great job on cleaning up that paint. Looks like Metabo and Optimum compound work really well together. Now you are making me wanna purchase that Metabo. Was gonna save some bucks to purchase HID xenon kits for my daily driver, and retint it's tindows fisrt...Maybe I'll buy it for myself for Christmas...25% off GC...

I actually said OMG out loud as I flipped through the after pictures. You totally transformed that car!

Very nice job.:applause:

 

[Gary Sword]

Nice job pirex!

 

[Nica]

First of all glad I could help you see the light with the Metabo pirex, my opinion on the Metabo is that it's the best rotary...I have the Makita too, it works good and I like the triger but I don't like the weight and it's kinda bulky.

The vehicle looks great, the paint, interior everything looks great. Very nice work there buddy....wow the paint looks much better and the interior very nice :applause:

Pressure washing the matts? I have never hear of that before. Looks like it worked though. How do you prep them before you power wash them? Cleaner?

Thanks bro, glad to hear you liked it Metabo and oc is great I know how you feel, I was the same way before I bought it! I am glad I put aside something else, to buy it! Great tool, to get great results Bet your Christimas is going to be great this year Thanks Again

AL417:

Thanks sis Great to get comments like that, makes the day :cheers: Thanks

Gary Sword: Thanks Gary

Nica:

I share your opinion on that Carlos, its really a fine pice of machine. I have tried some other rotaries, like the makita and the flex. But the metabo is something special

Glad you liked it, I had some nice time with the interior

67Customs:

You haven`t? It workes great First I vaccum them, then spray on a carpet cleaner (Meguiars APC, autoglym interior cleaner, wolfgang spot remover etc), scrub the matts with a brush, and then go over with the pressure washer to all of the carpet cleaner is gone. Then just let them dry

Main purpose to get a rotary will be to cut down working time. I never had a rotary, and don't want to "try 'em all". this one seems to be light weight and very durable motor. And that's what I'm looking for.

Another great turnaround, Pirex! That car is WHITE now. Looks new! 5 hrs isn't bad at all! You're tempting me to get a Metabo as well! LOL

 

[07ImpalaSS]

[pirex]

Med: Thanks

Supercharged: A rotary will definitly cut your working time down, its like another world

Alban61: Thanks buddy BTW I have detailing white cars Come on, go get a metabo

07ImpalaSS: Thanks bro

Well, generally my customers pick their cars up the same day, so I have to do it the "dry" way so they are't wet when they pick the car up. So, I guess I never thought about doing it any other way. However, it makes sense. I do get customers that leave their car over night. If I get those, I might just try it out. I'm sure it will help get them a little cleaner than what I am doing now.

(I dream nightly that I have a industrial extractor in the garage.) *sigh*
