Maserati Gran Sport by Advanced Detailing of South Florida

[Advanced Detailing]

Just like the owner of the Phantom, this person calls me after finding me online and they both live about an hour away.
I first went to give an estimate even though he told me that he keeps the car immaculate and that he does most of the work himself. His mechanic tells him that his is the cleanest Maserati that comes in the shop but when i got there and we pulled the car out of the garage, i showed him the swirls and other imperfections.
We agreed on a price even though he initially wanted to spend less, he realized that it would make no sense to spend less and not make it right.

Looks good!

p.s. What's up with the Stanley Steemer van? You didn't ask to use their bathroom before you started, did you?

Did I ever tell you I love Maserati's, especially this black one? :drool:

Gorgeous, simply gorgeous!! rops:

I hope his mechanic meant clean as in the new term for awesome not clean as in clean

 

[Advanced Detailing]

The Stanley Steamer van ruined my video because i couldn't let the exhaust be heard.
And this car had a very nice deep tone to it.

I do believe the mechanic meant the traditional meaning for clean, which is scary if you think about the condition of the other cars he must see.
Don't get me wrong, before i touched it, it did look very good to the average person who is impressed by a clean and shiny car.

Nice car and sweet job cleaning it up.

These cars are relatively cheap for what they are now. They go for $30000 with around 25-30k miles on them now a days.

Can you give a quick write up on what you did and the products you used?

 

[Advanced Detailing]

Shine, i started using the MF system but for two reasons i switched it up to SIP and my 3M pads.
One, my MF pads keep failing, i don't know why and two, despite getting good results i wanted a better finish than what i was getting.

Very nice work on the ride! You touch some very nice vehicles, sir, and you do a very nice job. I've been looking at SIP to use with the Flex. I want to build my detailing arsenal to include something that will work on heavily oxidized cars.

 

[ShineTimeDetail]

What's SIP?

 

[Advanced Detailing]

Menzerna Super Intensive Polish

 

[ShineTimeDetail]

What polishers do you use and what pad with the sip

 

[Advanced Detailing]

Mostly my Makita i use, and lately i have been using 3M pads, either the white or black pad depending on the condition of the paint.

I want to tag along with you next time I'm come to FtL lol

I want to tag along with you next time I'm come to FtL lol

Lol, i've been asked that several times.
I must be the worst teacher when it comes to anything, i don't have any patience even though this work requires plenty of that.
I only had my son work with me when he was younger, now my younger one is ready to go play college ball.
Honestly, i would feel uncomfortable if even the owner would want to sit there and watch what i do.

 

[ShineTimeDetail]

Lol I hear ya I don't have patience to teach people stuff either...me personally I don't like when owners watch me working...some are ok but most I don't like.

 

[Advanced Detailing]

I have some that will spend a couple of hours talking to me after i'm done but during my work i want no one around.
I don't mind if they come into the garage to ask how things are going, that's expected.

 

[ShineTimeDetail]

Haha my problem is I either don't talk much bc I'm trying to work or I talk too much and then it takes for ever!
