02 Porsche 911 1 step/Fuzion

[Perfections]

Got to detail something better then my usual grocery getter. A 2002 Porsche 911 non-turbo. Process was inspection, talked to customer, decided a nice claying with 1 step polishing would fit the bill for expectation level, aiming for 50-60% defect removal.

Great job man. How do you like the diluted Opti-Bond compared to full strength, btw?

[Bobby B.]

This is the most important part, you talked with the customer and the plan that was decided was not a 100% perfect. You made a plan based on what the customer was willing to pay and executed it. So many get high and mighty and think all details must be 100% perfect, but not all customers are will to pay for that. Know your limits based on time and compensation and get a plan. Very nicely done!! I absolutely love the color on that car.

Thanks for all the kind words :) It wasn't 100% defect free, but the customer was super excited with the outcome and in the end thats what matters, detailers putting smiles on peoples faces one car at a time!

Great job man. How do you like the diluted Opti-Bond compared to full strength, btw?

I use 1:1 because I carry an air compressor with me and use a spray paint gun to apply dressings, alot less wasted product :) Full strength is ok for some customers, others dont like how shinny it is. Discuss this with your customer before hand and you wont have any problems, as I always ask do you like the shinny look or more of a satin look, and at the same time ask them about interior dressings, although I convince most to go with the less greasy look on dashes due to reflections from the sun getting in their eyes :)

Thanks Megan and you are 100% correct, good communication between the detailer and customer is very important! Not only does it make you look professional, it also builds trust, and makes the customer feel like part of the whole detailing process, building long term customers :) As they will always get what they want and feel like they are getting exactly what they are paying for.

Well done my friend! Not surprised at all at the results. You take you work seriously and get consistent professional results..and you manage to have fun in the process. (Just don't tell the customers you would really do it for free!!! J/K )

I agree. Most customers don't even have the eye to see what you're trying to point out to them! I've come across that many times. I'm trying to show them the micro scratches...and they're looking at me like I have two heads.

That's when you know...maybe I should come down a notch, ha.

My trick is I usually try to explain the highest level service first...see how they take it. Usually they'll either do one of two things. One, they'll say..."well, I'm more looking for just...". Or two, they'll be intrigued and get involved in a back and forth conversation cause they're actually interested in possibly getting the works! As long as you can see eye to eye with someone...you've locked in a customer. :buffing:

Nice job OP! Looks like a mirror! :dblthumb2:
