freaking plastic ... covering everything in an engine, sure appearance might look great but go to try to change the spark plugs yourself ...
i wish the montes didnt have all the plastic they do under the hood, or the wires were routed a little better to not necessitate the plastic engine cover to hide all that ... "OH LOOK, its molded to MIMIC the shape of the intake, how cute!!!" ....
great work DP, i envy getting customers, so far ive only done a few friends and i couldnt dream of charging them "real" prices ... really just replacing materials and a 12 pack ... but then again, i made them help until they screwed something up ...

You do nice work. The underhood shots impress me the most. Wow, alot of those cars are "Swirl City". I'm guessing clay bar or cutting polish, i.e. 3M Imperial Glaze. Lot's of work either way.
Keep up the good work!
Keep up the good work!
they get clayed first (which doesnt remove any imperfections in the paint) then hit with Adam's Swirl and Haze Remover finished with Adam's Fine Machine Polish....im avg. about 8 hours total time for details not including breaks....thanks!
just got done with the latest customer...it was a Ford F-150....not sure of the year....truck turned out so well he even gave me a $15 tip....now he wants his wife's Buick Enclave in a few weeks....i have a feeling next spring i am goin to have a lot more details which hopefully turns into my getting the inferno hood finally....enjoy

always nice to see the transformation from everyday driver parking lot cruiser to freshly detailed ... even if it is parking lot cruiser
i just dont know how people can get in their car everyday and not care about it, i refuse to ride with a few of my friends because their interior makes me want to
... i even detailed my good friends car with him to make sure i didnt have to ride in it like that ... and how does he show his gratitude, he hasnt washed it since ...
