GGEVOXFTMFW Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 Some my before pics screwd up, and wasnt able to show all my befores. Dont think the car has/had ever been polished/waxed/clayed. There was a ding on the hood near the latch and wouldnt let me pop the hood. So i had to skip doing under the hood. Some before and afters, Enjoy:banana: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyGo Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 Huge difference. I see a stamp on her forehead that reads "repeat customer that refers others". LoL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GGEVOXFTMFW Posted May 7, 2010 Author Share Posted May 7, 2010 What the heck is she doing with that car? Off roading? Ya if you look at the pic below that one there some huge lines across the fender and door if you look closely. Being 10-11 yr old DD car was far from perfect. Also having two young ones, and looks like a dog or two. I started at 11:30am finished at 6pm. She only wanted one coat of polish so thats all I had to work with.

Tundra5-0 Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 She should probably stop letting her dog clean the car unless it nails are trimmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back bumper had scratches even worse from the dog im assuming as well that didnt really improve for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GGEVOXFTMFW Posted May 8, 2010 Author Share Posted May 8, 2010 Posted on the evolution detailing forum, and my "friend is back to talk **** again". Im really pissed off this time. Here's what he said.. "Now I'll know to post some pics of my minivan. It looks great in the shade, too.<!-- google_ad_section_end --> " "Now I'm the one who's confused. Didn't you post the detail so that folks could comment, or is this supposed to be an ad for your new (err..) detailing business? Either way, it may not be bad idea to spend more than 1.5 hours on each polish step for the entire car, especially with paint as hard as this. The finish would look better, at the very least. You have a lot to learn.<!-- google_ad_section_end --> " " Quote: <TABLE border=0 cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=6 width="100%"><TBODY><TR><TD style="BORDER-BOTTOM: 1px inset; BORDER-LEFT: 1px inset; BORDER-TOP: 1px inset; BORDER-RIGHT: 1px inset" class=alt2>Originally Posted by GGevoXftmfw I posted so people can post comments not haggle me each time make a thread like you like to do.

It took two hours with a orange pad to do the one step. All I had to work with unfortunately. </TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE> My comment had nothing to do with how many "coats" (whatever that is) of polish you decided on. Even with the fastest-working polish in the known universe, with the best of the best manning the buffer, it would take a minimum of 4 hours to do that car. That doesn't include finishing. For reasons not yet understood, you seem to think that you can buy some products, and charge folks for the job without really knowing what you're doing. Not good.<!-- google_ad_section_end --> " <!-- / message --><!-- sig --> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He then wants to talk himself up and over compensate for his lack of physical "assets" or should I say small.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
