I know that the guy that owns the Phantom owns a bunch of night clubs in SD.

II LeGeNDz II is correct, I detail them. I'm working my way up the latter so far I'm doing good.

Well just got home from working in Newport Beach... I have to say I had the shittiest car in the parking lot! haha..





I know the pictures are shit, but all I had on me was my iphone. Ooooh and look at the nice surprise some asshole left me

With the detailing skill you're acquiring and a little touch up paint you'll make that absolutely impossible to spot. Don't sweat it. The person that did that to you got a massive diarreah while stuck in trafffic. I'm pretty sure that's what I heard.

On a POSITIVE note...silver is so sweet...the silver of the front trim looks so good on it. J.

Ahaha thanks for the laugh man! I have a porter cable 7424 I can use to buff out some of it. Also the owner of the shop I work at might hook it up and let me use the paint booth

No that would be crazy haha it was hit in a different parking lot near the room I was staying in. They're getting their batteries charged and the microfiber towels keeps the cables from causing any fine scratches. Also the ones in that picture are not Phantoms, but Ghost, the new Rolls that's coming out next month.

Phantom



Phantom coupe



Ghost

looking good mang! Wanna hook an SD brotha' up with a detail at a discount? haha

BTW, what percentage is your tint and have you gotten pulled over for it yet? Have you been pulled over for not having the front plate? Get the "ACURA" fill-in on the bumper bro. It'll look complete.

The Ghost is a gorgeous car, the Phantom and Drophead are to big for my taste.

I just got hired about two months ago, so I'm not sure. I could probably do something a lil extra if it's not busy.
I haven't been pulled over yet, I'm not sure what percent it is maybe 35%? I actually want to go darker. The G35 I had before the TL was like 10% and I never got pulled over for it. No problems with not having the front plate either.

What is he looking to get done? Washes range from $15-$60 for autos $20-$80 for SUV. Something like claying, clear coat polish, and wax on a Z runs $250. There's year memberships too.

Thanks man! Yea I'm really liking it so far it, lots of opportunity to move up. I want to eventually be working in the paint booth just spraying cars, I know the dudes there are getting 4-5k a month minimum. I'm only 21 so I just gotta keep working and learning and I'll get there.
The Ghost is sick, they have some badass color options for both the interior/exterior. I got to drive them and when you're backing up to park you get a live birds eye view! crazy shit, I think they're definitely going to take out Bentley in that class.
..Oh and this is one of my favorite features in the Phantom coupes but a really expensive option!

I'm guessing this is @ a dealership garage. That's crazy. I hope someday I can afford an exotic. I just wonder how people get the money, some @ a young age. You sir have a great job+car, I envy you.

It was actually in a closed off parking lot at the Pelican Hill Resort, if anyone is familiar with that resort it was right by the Andrea restaurant. No one actually owns any of those cars, Rolls Royce is using them to promote the new Ghost, that's why there was so many of them. It was a month long event and we got to work it.
