S2K detail
Detailed Arnolds car today (blkmjx) cause he's selling it.
Did a quick job on it as he didn't want to pay much so I went over the car w/ a clay bar, followed up w/ #80 and then 2 coats of NXT
before
the lighting for the after pics wasn't great so the pics aren't that good

there is dressing on, but I don't use a very shiney dressing. Forgot the wells though, we didn't want to make the car look like it was just cleaned up

WD40 work good in wells? I'll have to try that
WD40 for wheels wells? EEk i might be alittle apprehensive about that considering if it rains and drips then your rear tires might have some unwanted fun. (I dont think it will, but just a thought.)

just a weekend thing to help put some money in my pocket. Pricing can range from anywhere from 150-300 basically.
Clpower does awesome work. The paint looked like utter crap before he started. Now it looks beautiful. He's definitely going to do all my detail work in the future.
I'll take better pics today.
I let him take the evo out for a spin.

You are probably better then me, i'm still learning. Pictures can be decieving of perfection sometimes

That 180 is the best investment ever for detailing your car! Hell, its even made people money when everyone else wants you to detail their cars! Last summer I made enough cash to cover ALL my detailing supplies and expenses plus spending money...This summer will even net me more profit since I have almost every single supply needed already and a customer client base set-up.
