    Second paying detail job 2008 Volvo

    So, I got my second paying detail job last weekend. Used 3 inch Meguiar's MF pad with D300, then 105/205 with 5.5 LC CCS orange and white pad respectively. Then topped it off with Meguiar's GC wax. I'd like to take the credit but to be honest Meguiar's just makes some fantastic compounds and polishes!

    I'm not so good with the before and after shots. I kinda get into detailing then afterward realize I should have planned my pictures better. Anyway the owner was happy! Here's a few pictures

    Before:


    After:


    And one extra:

    Wow that black on black Volvo looks beautiful, and the main goal here was that you made the customer happy and hopefully a returning one too as for the picture taking that will come naturally as time progress

    Did you watermark them with the auto geek logo? or did that happen on upload? tag your name in there too!
    Back to the full-time grind.

    Thanks guys! Yep he was happy. After the customer picked up his case his Dad called me later and asked if I would detail his 2013 G37.

    cleanmycorolla, the autogeek watermark is automatic I guess. This is my first time uploading pictures. I'll have to figure out how to tag my name to the pictures.

    Thanks again.

    They started that on the upload recently. They have always been the property of Autogeek once you upload them, that's why you can't delete pictures from your album. It's in the rules somewhere but I can't find it right now.

    Awesome work! Those kind of reflections just melts my heart every time!

    Would you mind sharing your workflow? Also, how long did it take you to finish it?

    Nicely done! That black paint really shines now!

    Meguiar's products offer tremendous bang for the buck.
