My trusty Mazda 6...next car will be diesel fueled. The ones in the washing area are from the Carnauba Gold/Nano2K treatment. I polished for 4 hours straight the first time on this paint, it was so marred and scratched. Good thing with silver, not everything shows.

The shots on the green hood, it's a Rover 75 V6, was taken to show the power of the new Flex Orbital. Blue cheap foam pad, 3M Trizact 50777 deox. Mattias, my junior partner did a full retail on this baby and he has some pride too.

Those are some wicked pictures. Your Mazda has some nice headlights.

The 50/50 pictures are very nice...good job.

I put some Plexus on the headlights....wish I had before-pictures on the Mazda, it didn't look like this a little more than a year ago.

The hood split shot really shows a drastic difference. You do some outstanding details. Thanks for sharing your work with us.

Thanks for the comments, I appreciate it! I'll tell my Jr partner, he will be pleased to know his work makes some difference.

Both looks nice... We need some finish pics of the green car.
Your garage has it going on, nice set up.

Oh man, to have a detailing place like this on a Bmw dealer is...........not too high standard actually but thanks. We're working on it though. We spent most of the "free" time during last year to clean up the place and repair/buy equipment. Everything was repaired/served/maintained before this season. Every machine was checked prior to action. We had some minor breakdowns before my holiday, nothing we couldn't handle.

One idea is to build cabins on wheels with dedicated places for deoxidizers, interior cleaners, polish machines and all the other stuff we use. When the day is over you rool your cabin aside and lock it up and go home. Yup, we have to lock.

I'm sorry I cannot provide more pictures on the green Rover 75 V6, that detail was done on order from sales and it went out some time ago but we snapped this one to proove the power of the Flex Orbital. Usually when we deliver that kind of job done to our satisfaction it never comes back with an order to "do it again".

Nice work on the Mazda Daniel! And you're right: diesel is the ONLY way to go. I'm trying to convince my wife, but she's having none of it.

In about a year and a half, the BMW diesels will start to hit the US market. Cannot wait!

Man, I will probably trade the Mazda for a Bmw 118d when possible. Looking for one in August.

So far the US hasn't had the heavy environment discussion we have here in Europe but you will in due time. Norway will ban gasoline in 5 years plus, it will not be possible to purchase a new gasoline driven car.

I think your wife will notice the difference in the new diesel-powered cars and appreciate the driving style you get when you have the power right there in the lower register.

Thanks for the words of my car, I appreciate it. Just wait until I get hold of the Beemer diesel, that one will see some serious detailing.

This is a picture of the new Flex Mattias used for the Rover 75. These pads were about the only one a certain detailing franchise chain let their stations use...as soon as we have used the ones we have in store they will not come back again. We're going Edge and see what happens. I hope Edge's system works with Flex as well.
