Yeah pics aren't the best but you get the idea. It's a 2006 HSV VZ Clubsport.

Nice shine, nice car.....

Try to rest the camera on something when you take pictures without the flash, easy to get blurry pics without the flash on.

6LS2,

You remind me of me at that age, I remember my dad gave me my first car 1982 Toyota Tercel coupe. Silver color too mmm brings back memories...um any way what I'm trying to say is that your doing well my friend. Don't stop taking care of your own vehicles or your family’s car, hard work gets noticedIm the MAN .


Besides, you did a good job with your dad's car. Just imagine what you could do with a PC as you gain more experiance:D .

Welcome, probably one of the youngest detailers here right now. Does your camera have a flash? Use it if it does...

I started my auto-detailing business when I was 18 (19 now).. Worked as a detailer for all sorts of company's, and learned all sorts of tricks of doing things.

You are probably the youngest here, but I'm not far behind

I now do my business part-time"ish" when I am not in school (college), it's something to consider, especially if you like detailing. It's been a learning experience for me, and a lot of start-up time, but it doesn't cost much to start up a detailing business now-a-days. My biggest obstacle, was figuring out how to transport water. So, in my brochure and flyer's, I state I needed a power source, and water outlet. I have not had a problem, with using the clients power/water source.

If you'd be interested, write back, I have all kinds of stories and experiences to share


Happy Holidays bud..

Awesome car. I think GM is thinking about bringing it to the States. I would definitely look at one. Here's my Holden....for the most part.

Thanks for your comments guys :-) Once I start working, I want to save at least $400 then go wild! First thing = PC! Can someone explain the pads to me? Like

Yellow Pad, Orange Pad, White Pad, what's the difference, what is each one used for? Is it bad to use them on new cars?
