Hey I've been meaning to ask, how do you do the multy quote's? I've been scratching my head at that

Well done on the vehicle oh the rims look wicked
oh one more thing, do you detail a vehicle in one day or do you spread it out in two days? Just wondering, becuase to date I have yet to do a full detail in one day...I like spreading it in two days. Just wondering that's all.

Thank you for sharing.
Carlos..Thanks for the compliments..I appreciate it. I'm trying to set a new trend with my thick stripes..whatda think?? I like to spread my detail over 2 days. The 1st day I wash, do wheels, engine and clay. Then I go around with touch up so it can dry overnight before I go hitting it with the buffing wheel, or wet sand.
As for the multiple quotes..I had to ask that one too..LOL..I open a new window and go to the same post. On the 1st one I hit "new reply" and then go to hte new window. I scroll to a quote and hit the "quote" button. It opens in a new screen..I then copy the entire contents of hte quote. I then go back to the 1st window and paste it into the "new reply" and respond. I just repeat the process going back and forth between the 2 windows. Hope that helps.

I hear you with the 2 day detailing, I find it makes the detail seem faster lol that's just me though hahaha. But I agree with you with regards to the touch up paint. I like the wide stripes, looks really good.

As for the miltiple quotes, I gotcha. I've done that a few times too...I just thought you were doing it a different way. Thanks for sharing.

The wide stripes are pretty cool actually, GROOVY . The Crocs are being trendy with detailing I have tried some on and they are very comfy, but they're my dad's and they're not big enough for me so I can't use em

A very fine job! That was one nasty looking Saab when you got it. What a great turn around you did. Surely you will get more work after that display of good workmanship!

Great turnaround on that Saab! It was looking pretty bad. Couldn't believe all those swirls and scratches, especially by the driver's door. And that door handle looked like it was thirsty for some 303! The AFTERS are awesome. Great engine detail, and those thick stripes are the best! At first I thought it was the design of the floormats. Uniform and sharp lines! Too cool!

That is one great "first". That engine turned out great. Good job on turning around the rest too.

You said multiple touch-ups, what exactly did you do in ONLY 13 hours to make it look like it did.

Did you use touch up paint on the front end? It looks like you did, if so let me know how you did it, your method and steps to make it looks so great.

Also......ARO, I mean wow those wheels looks great, what was your interior cleaning method?
