Another awesome detail, Carlos! OPT Prot. Plus in that engine bay looks great. Doesn't look shiney or wet, just smooth satin and CLEAN! I could eat off it! LOL
Black Again looks great on the trim. It's in my shopping cart.
OPT again on the interior gives it a "classy" look, not shiney or greasy.
Did you use Megs APC 1:1 or 10:1 on the carpets? I've not used Megs before, but wouldn't it be soapy at 1:1?

sneek - Thanks buddy, glad you liked it. I look forward on us getting together my friend oh and I'm curious to see what you bring back...oh don't forget to get what I requested please . Let me know when your back in town and perhaps CalgaryDetail and your self we can finally get together. Hope you enjoy your holidays.

alban61 - Glad you like it alban, yup nothing beats a nice clean engine bay with a nice natural appearance to it, I agree...and same goes for the interior, I'm very pleased with Optimum Protection Plus. As for the carpets, sorry I didn’t write that down. On the interior carpets of the vehicle I usually use about 10:1 but for the floor mats that I pull out and scrub properly I use 1:1 scrub well, rinse off and I'm good to go, for giving the vehicle a good wipe down I sometimes use 1:1. Oh and yes you are correct at 1:1 you get a bit of a soap feeling. I hope this helps.

My brother Carlos, my master detailer! Beauthiful work as always my friend. Love the write up and detail pics. After using Menz I do a rewash because of the dust. Do you do the same?
Fantastic work on the whole thing....
Money shot..

very beautiful work esp. with the 50/50 shots. Btw, do you do the shelf life of menzera products? I would really try some but, from what I heard they are only good for one year.

NICA you always give me tips and ideas every detail you do!! Thanks for sharing and awesome turnaround!

Next time tell the customer to please wait and pick up on a sunny day, too much hard work to mess up in just 5 min off wet road driving.

Tonya - Thank you for the compliment it means a lot to me. Glad you enjoyed it.

R1DC2 - Thank you and glad you like them. The before and after really show the transformation and as you can tell I enjoy taking the pictures hahaha but I need to get a better camera now

sparkie - It's my home boy, my main man sparkmyster . Thank you for the compliments my friend, means a lot to me. As for the wash, yes sir, always wash after done with Menzerna it's the only way to remove all the dust from all those hard to reach areas. That and it's the proper way to remove any polish left on the vehicle. Glad you enjoyed the detail buddy. Oh I'm going to be replasing the lights that I currently have in my garage, a buddy of mine is giving me some T5HO. Much brighter then the ones I currently have in my garage

2turbos - Thank you, glad you enjoyed the pictures. As for the shelf life of Menzerna, I've read the same about it going bad after a year or so. To be honest I'm not overly concerned about it that and I don't think that my Menzerna products would last me a year well I'm hoping it does but that's the only polish I use so I don't think it will last me that long. However, I do have the products that I receved from Europe and that stuff I hardly ever use so I'm curious to see if it's true about it going bad. I'll let you know if the products last me a year or more.

ehuth1 - Thank you buddy, glad I could help a little. I agree with you, every time I see a detail posted I always learn something new. It's nice seeing a variety of people detailing as we all learn from each other and improve. As for the customer picking up the vehicle, trust me I tried to get her to leave the vehicle in my garage till the next day. I told her she could take my Jeep and come back the next day but she said she wanted to drive her brand new vehicle and I don't blame her
