• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

what do you guys think of some of my work?

LOL you would make off with one hell of a deal. Seeing how craptastic our US Dollar is as compare to Canada's :p

I think St. Louis would be closer ;)

What kind of tools do you use for the trade Zaino, other than the obvious polish you use ;) Just curious.

And yes GREAT work on those cars too!
 
wow $150 is an excellent price, especially around here. I would pay that in a heart beat just to get the paint back to to shape where the Protect-All would be all I needed. fwiw I bought the car with paint needing the claybar treatment.

i do everything by hand and put alot of elbow grease into it. i use nothing but microfiber towels. i do not use orbitals or porter cables. the difference between a good hand application and an orbital is like night and day. i like to take the time to enjoy each detail and see if i can outdo myself with each client. ive done this as a hobby since i was 16 and got my first car. im 26 now so ive got some experience under my belt. i just recently started using zaino products two years ago when i met my friend turbokent here in tulsa. ive never gone back and never will lol.
 
just a thought but if i somehow manage to have enough vacation time to come to the branson meet this year i thought about bringing all my supplies and only charging 60 dollars for the members that show up.....

I don't know about Yakov now :th_nanana:

But I am sure you will need physical therapy once you are done working on all the cars. Cause if you can produce that kind of quality on the pictures you posted, you are gonna have EVERYONE clammering for your work :)

And I would be one of them! :th_thumbsup-wink:

*nudges Lee out of the way to get first crack at a purty shinney car* :th_biggrin2:
 
glad you guys like my work. lol my favorite clients owns a nice bar here in tulsa called macks grill and i get everything paid for no matter how much i eat or drink in return for keeping their personal vehicles looking "pimp" lol

in a year or two im thinkin of taking out a large loan to open up an exotic car detailing shop. right now i do everything out of my car and do a concierge service of picking up the car from the persons workplace and returning them spotless. and yes im insured lol.

i have alot of fun detailing the exotics because i get to drive them :)
 


i love your work i wish i had that much talent ive done waxing before but nothing at your level you da man!!!!
 
you need a better camera to show off the real detail work. even my crappy car shines great with a nice wash and wax.

i agree. those were taken on a 5 mp camera so i know it doesnt even come close to showing off the real detail. im going to have a friend of mine who is a professional photographer shoot some pics of my grand prix here real soon so i can make business cards from it. ill post up some good pics then. trust me i need a really really good camera to show off the work i do. but theres a couple of people on this board that ive done work for that can vouche for me.
 
Hummm, how long does it take you to do this process? The reason I ask, I have a black GTP thats in desprite need of detail. I've tried working some magic of my own, unfortuneitly I couldn't get it. I was thinking about having someone wetsand the whole car (I don't even want to attempt that). I donno what you could do for me, you'd have your work cutout for you.

Are you ever in OKC?
