Nebster's detailing thread

Nebster · 02-14-2009, 11:15 PM

LET ME START BY SAYING THIS:

i am not trying to advertise anything here. I am solely posting showing my OCD and my hobby that i do on the weekends and in my free time.

Well i figured i'd stop jacking other peoples threads and put everything about what i do as my hobby

Any questions - just ask. I'm very easy to get along with (i hope) and would be glad to answer any questions.

here is my set up:

Products i use typically in my detail:
- TO BE UPDATED

feb 20th weekend - Mustang GT - white with vinyl stripes
feb 28th weekend - OUT OF TOWN - TAX TIME BABY!!!
march 6th weekend - Subaru WRX - silver
March 13th weekend - seth - 328xi - black
March 20th weekend - [b]Open[/B[
March 27th weekend - ultimate - car?
April 3rd weekend - NONE - CHI TOWN MEET!!!

i'll start with what i worked on this weekend - my personal 335i.

to be frank, my car took a beating this winter. Too many dealer washes. First off never have your dealer wash your car. they almost always put swirls in the paint so i suggest to avoid where possible

I apologize for the pictures. i can't find my damn tripod

i don't have many before pictures as my camera was dead and i was charging the battery

but here is what i have

this was literally all over the car. To be frank (this is sad) - my 335i was one of the worse cars i've worked on. I just don't have time to dedicate to my car and this winter was horrible on it.

after

that is dust not rids

i'll have more pictures tomorrow.

solid

I can do a photoshoot for you!

335iPaul · 02-14-2009, 11:21 PM

Maybe throw in the common tools/products you use in details?

Vudoo4u2 · 02-14-2009, 11:23 PM

a magician never reveals his tricks!!

335iPaul · 02-14-2009, 11:25 PM

shhh...I needa learn somehow LoL.

No, Im not even saying specifics, but like the brands that you trust and like.

Nebster · 02-14-2009, 11:29 PM

cg / swissvax for cleaning stuff
swissvax for wheels - tire dressing, wheel polish, wax, cleaner etc...
interior is all swissvax
blackfire for paint correction
cg for sealant and swissvax for wax.

hell the only reason i charge what i do for details is that the damn products are so expensive. The wax i'm using tomorrow is one of the last jars of the swissvax best of show - only 275 a bottle lol

i use a flex with uber pads.

335iPaul · 02-14-2009, 11:32 PM

Nebster · 02-14-2009, 11:33 PM
