Wow, that came out great.

I've got to say - this part of s2ki has been a gold mine for a lot of us. I've learned *so* much in here it's hard to describe. You guys rock.

What I have noticed is that everything we can learn in this forum is all TOP NOTCH, we dont even have detailers like FMINUS or DD in the Tampa, FL area. I hope to get in alot more practice over the years to come and becomes tampas go to guy. Even some of the best detail shops have never heard of Menzerna or any of these other very high quality polishes, little do they know...



Oh, btw these before pictures were not even 2 months after I let a guy with "20 years" experience buff my car, all I could say was WOW! (in a bad way) and he never even man'ed up to fix it, let alone did I actually want him to touch my car with a buffer again!

it is sad but so true...
there are plenty of good detailers out there- the best are on this board!
unfortunately there are plenty of bad ones too. they take short cuts (including not even doing the polishing properly, like you witnessed) and can make a living, but they give the rest a bad name.

you have found the best detailer in your area - he uses the best products, takes his time, really cares about what he is doing, and man check out his pics (you even got a photo of him in that reflection)!!

Twanksta is getting ready to do my car. The same guy he is talking about owns the top detail shop here. This guy does all the nicest cars around and his work sucks. We will take before and after pics of my car also
