    Why detailers stay busy!

    This a Volvo S40 that I did last week, but haven't had time to post. I picked this job up while doing a weekly wash for one of my clients. The owner of the Volvo had just got the car washed at the local full service wash that morning. She was extremely dissappointed w/ the quality of wash she received. It only cost her 15 dollars, but it cost her time and stress waiting for it to be finished. I told her I would help her out by giving it a good cleaning and an application of Poli-seal. Take a look at the carwash finished pics:






    My after pics:






    She was very happy, and said she won't be taking it back the local swirl-o-matic wash

    Bradley, glad you got a new client now. Thanks to the wash monkeys at the swirl-o-matic
    Don't beat yourself up over the door jams. They look 100% better then the befores.

    To achieve excellence, excellence cannot be rushed. Technique is just as important as the product used.
    While my approach takes more time, the results are far superior.

    The moral of the story is don't be cheap to your vehicle, pay the extra and you get quality.

    Very nice! Now I think you have a new "regular" customer.


    Great job!
