Default One on One Detailing in LV

So after the little pre-run yesterday, Corey came over and showed me a couple deeper scratches on his head lamp. I whipped up some 2000 grit sand paper, sanded some off the scratches out and polished up his head lamp for him. Just the way the sun was shining, I saw so many scratches. It was painful to look at, so I decided to polish and wax up a 2x2 section of his hood and show him the difference.

Since we both had the time, I thought, "Hell, why not just do a quick wash/polish/wax on his car. So we did.....and 3 hours later:



Products Used:
Menzerna IP
Zymol Titanium Wax
Automagic Carnaubua Wax
Porter Cable Polisher
Meguiars White Clay
Meguiars Gold Class Car Wash
Meguiars Trim Detailer
Meguiars Plastic Cleaner & Polish
Meguiars Tire Gel
Eagle F1 Wheel Cleaner
303 Cleaner & Fabric Protectant

Since I like cleaning my car and know that there are others that are very interested in detailing their cars and wouldn't mind doing it themselves, but don't necessarily have the tools or know where to start, I'd like to offer, free one on one detailing with me. Hook up with me and come on over to my place on Sundays and we will both work on your car and sweat it out for a couple hours washing, polishing/paint correction & waxing cleaning everything. All I ask is for $20 to cover my supplies or a detailing item of my choice. Currently I'm running low on 32oz Menzerna IP and need a couple of CCS Yellow, blue & gray pads. =)

A quick wash, clay, polish and wax would be around 3 hours. If we wanted to get really anal, a session with multiple polishes, and both of us working could easily be 6-8 hours or more.

Anyway, Let me know if you're interested in coming over to Allentown (18104) to wash your car with me. If you're further away and concerned about getting dirty on the way back, any grime en-route will just come off with some quick detailer, once you arrive home. =)

yea, would've been a good idea. Wasn't really thinking about before shots. It was a very impromptu thing, so we didn't whip the cameras out until afterwards.

So who wants to be my b4/after guinea pig? Jk. I'm going to have to do my car very soon anyway...

I would love this. I am picking my car up on Saturday (its been garaged and hasn't started since october). I am located in Kutztown, would be an easy drive. I would be available the first. This would be a great introductory cleaning for it

If driftintherain wants to cancel for the 1st for being too far, we can do it.
