Thanks!
Thanks! I do take new clients, but I get a bit busy in the summer. It takes me at least a day for a detail and sometimes 2-3 so I can get as close to perfection as possible and I only do cars I like. I do it as a hobby, not a job therefore I give a passionate finished product with every part of the car touched. Some detailers are just out there to make money and use cheap products and do a detail as quick as possible. I spend too much money on detailing products so I needed to find a way to keep up my obsession and this seemed the best route. I also try to only do 3-4 cars a week so I can keep up my grades and keep my gf happy. Thanks! Thanks!

Nice job! I love the way you have the vacumn lines perfectly aligned with alternating directions. Now THAT is attention to detail!!! It reminds me of how they mow golf courses.

That is truly a night and day difference. After doing all that work, will you actually let her drive the car again?

Yes, but to make them stick out that much and stay in-line for a good while you need to extract the carpets. When they are wet they stick out more, and when they dry they tend to hold shape longer. If you just vacume them and do not extract they will only stay like that for a couple of days enless no one had set their feet on the carpet.
