JMK Detailing: look at these swirlzzz!
 

HOLY CRAP! I detailed a black Highlander today and when I spoke to the owner over the phone, she told me there were some scratches in the paint.

This is what I had to deal with when I got there:

Make it stop!!

So we already agreed on a price based on her description... so I wasn't going to do a full correction.

On my test panel, I hit it with M105 / LC orange twice with medium pressure and many passes. This is what I got:

Didn't do this on the rest of the car if they owner wasn't gonna pay me for the extra steps / time.

After LSP (Zaino Z5):

I gotta remember to take more "after" pictures next time. The sun wasn't cooperating with me and by the end of this detail, I was exhausted and just wanted to go home.

Total time: 6.5 hours

:ohsnap:

Jason, the Zaino products work well with a buffer then?

I apply Z2 / Z5 by hand... I've tried it with a LC gray but it ends up soaking in a lot of the product. Using the applicator from Zaino and some Z6 as a spritzer in the shade works great for thin layers.

Hey Jason!

Nice work!

Second of all, are you mobile? If so, do you make your way up north to Antioch?

^ thanks. You're about an hour away... I just did a job on the south side and that was about an hour drive so I don't see why not. I'd tack on a little extra for my gas etc though.

Email me at my "work" email if you're interested. :D

Hilarious! "Just a few scratches" :pofl:

Nice Recovery!

Looks great!

Thanks.

Seriously though... that car was pretty f'd up!

Wow! Looking good Jason. With each new thread, i see a huge improvement (or maybe that first TL wasn't really that bad after all?)

^ Nah the paint didn't have many swirls... it was just a little dull.

Just out of curiosity, how much did you charge for that job (if you don't mind sharing)?

Oh crap I moved the pictures.. daaaaaaaaaamn

Anyway, here's an after of the door handles (only 2 days after the detail... so much dust!)
