    Re: The power in the after shots is created in the before shots




    Shared here,


    Looks like its past the point of no return or just severely oxidized? Can it be fixed?


    See how important it is to get great before shots? You can never go back into time to get them.

    WOW! That thing made a huge transformation!!! Nice work!

    I should change my name to Mike. Mike Stoops, Mike Phillips, Mike Pennington....


    Seems like having Mike as your first name automatically makes you better at polishing paint ha ha ha!

    Mike's a great guy. I can remember when he first started coming to the TNOGs before working for Meguair's. He used to wear all types of wacky tennis shoes. It was always interesting to see what he would wear next.

    When I was at Meguair's in Irvine, there were 5 Mikes at Meguiar's. It was a joke that in order to get a job at Meguiar's you had to have the name "Mike".


    Here's a blast from the past... this was taken after we finished wetsanding a 1949 or 1950 Ford Woody that belong to some Surf Guitar Band.


    From left to right,

    Jason Rose, Kevin Brown, Mike Phillips, Mike Pennington




    Yep - Meguiar's required us to wear dress slacks to wetsand, cut and buff a streetrod.

    Pro Tip: Remember to take GREAT BEFORE SHOTS before working on the car!


    If you want to showcase your talent, skills, knowledge and abilities when it comes to the art of polishing paint and the craft of detailing cars, then BEFORE you start working on the car take a few moments to take REALLY GREAT BEFORE PICTURES!


    I cannot stress this enough.


    Why?

    Because once you start working on the car it's too late to document the ugly. That's about as plain as I can make it. And if you don't document how bad the condition of the car or the paint was before you started then all you have left to capture is the after shots. While after shots are good... no one will ever know how bad the condition was before you worked your magic because you don't have the pictures to back it up. All you can do is "talk". You can say how bad the paint or the car was before you started but to be honest... those are just words.


    A picture is worth a thousand words


    So if you want to show the world what you can do - set the buffer down, get out your camera and take great before shots.


    Before






    Here's how I was able to get the high overhead hood shot - I used a ladder.





    If you don't care about showcasing your talent, skills, knowledge and abilities then grab your buffer and get buffing...
