Some pics after a detailed detail

SpacE82 · 09-26-2010, 05:35 PM

I took my car to Steve at Show Car Detail here in the northern suburbs of Chicago. He did an awesome job and the car looks amazing. I did a full detail that included the exterior, interior, wheels, and engine. Plus he took out some scratches and paint chips. It ran me about $400 but i think it was worth it. The car looks great. I would recommend anyone use him he has a couple locations and he does it at his house. PM me for his details (address, phone number, etc).

Anyways, here are some photos, my battery was dead on my good camera, so i took these with my other camera. I will have more in a few days:

Looks real clean, great job

1trip5 · 09-27-2010, 09:16 AM

looks great as is. would look even better with a slight drop. I just purchased the 710s in 18", should be receiving them today. very nice choice on wheel.

Ricer X · 09-27-2010, 10:11 AM

Looks awesome....

Do you run the back of your hand accross the paint just to feel the slippery smoothness like I do after a detail?

BTM · 09-27-2010, 10:28 AM

Thanks, yeah he does great work. I also bought some of his cleaning supplies cuz he makes his own chemicals.

vasillalov · 09-27-2010, 01:07 PM

Looks really good!

As for the engine bay cleaning: I use Simple Green because it is completely organic and it has low PH. When I clean the engine bay, I use a regular garden hose with the attachment set on "Mist". All you need is a small wool brush and the engine bay will be clean in no time.

CubanJJ09 · 09-27-2010, 03:26 PM

damn thats fuckin clean. that engine bay is spotless. i wanna book some time with this guy before he realizes hes too cheap

I dont know what he normally costs, but he cut me a deal because i was part of a group buy for the HIN show (that got cancelled). PM me if you want his info!

Rosaymaan · 09-27-2010, 04:13 PM

What % tint do you have?

SpacE82 · 09-27-2010, 04:15 PM

^35% all around

rkdiddy · 09-27-2010, 05:52 PM

Looks great - very impressive.

anthony @ eas · 09-27-2010, 06:30 PM

Looks super clean. I'm liking the gloss black V710s a lot on your car.

SpacE82 · 09-27-2010, 08:45 PM

Thanks for all the compliments. I'm hoping the weather stays nice so I can take some better pictures!
