Awesome Auto Detailing

Hi guys,

As many of you know, the white WRX you guys see out front of our shop is known as the shop beater. It's an 2004 WRX that's been beat to hell and back.

There was overspray, metail particles that have rusted into it, random marks, dings, etc. and just pure never washing it (it's been washed twice in its 40K miles). Long story short, the paint felt like 400 grit sand paper, and looked like crap.

I tried to wash it. I tried to wax it. I even put an orbital waxer to it. Nothing worked, the paint had red rust chips, overspray, etc. in it and felt terrible. I spent a few hours on it and gave up.

Then today Freddie comes in and details the car. I wasn't expecting him to be able to get it out (since I had already tried the orbital waxer). Imagine my surprise when I walk out and feel the paint - IT FEELS LIKE A NEW CAR. THINGS ACTUALLY SLIDE OFF IT NOW! Needless to say, I'm very impressed. When we were selling our R33 GTR, we had it detailed at a cost of $400, and it did not come out this nice (and yes we kept the GTR in the best possible condition). (Freddie charged me $80).

So bottom line, guys if you need detailing, give Freddie a call, I"m pretty sure you guys won't be dissapointed.

Cheers,

Gary

I doubt normal people get the same effort for $80. That's like $20 an hour minus supplies...basically a nearly free detail job.

Jeff helped me with mine. We spent a couple hours on it..could have done more but still. It came out AWESOME. Similar deal. My car sees snow, dirt, rain, you name it. It was stained with yellow, etc. Looked better than it did when I picked it up. A good detail from someone that knows what they're doing can work wonders.

I've seen freddy's work> Thumbs up!!!!

lol yeah....

It's better that way, because when people tell thier friends, they can give them a card with my info...instead if trying to remember my number..thats all. It's not my own business or anything, just something I enjoy doing...and it helps pay the bills when I am unemployed. If it were a "real business"..it would cost more than $80. lol hahaha.

Glad you guys were happy with the jobs on your cars. Look forward to helping out again. (especially the "special" wax job)
