Thumbs up Detail job from Hell!

Here is one job that was recently completed.

The car was a total wreck when it came in.

Although it is not perfect it looks so much better and the client was happy.

Nice. It does not appear that they take care of things.

This vehicle was neglected from day one!

Paint failure covered the entire vehicle and I corrected much of it to make it look good.

The owner picked this vehicle up from a widower who was going to junk this vehicle.

The engine was the only thing that saved this vehicle for it was in pristine running condition.

What kind of tire dressing is that? I'll be sure to stay away from it. Nasty looking stuff. I'd also use a small hand jack so you can get the entire tire. In the photos you can see where whoever did them missed a good deal of the area near the tread. By jacking up the car a few inches you can take care of that. I'd also shoot the wheel wells and any thing else you can see hanging under the car with some black paint. Granted the car was/is not in the best of shape. What did you charge for that?

You need to detail the wheel wells. And I agree with Pat the wheels could have looked better, to shine for my taste and not evenely coated . But great job with the body, paint looks great.

pat,

thanks for the tips and pointing out the tire issues for it was corrected by me which i noticed as well before delivery....

We ran this out of the shop quick to take a look at the paint and do a 'once over" on it and snap a few pics.

Wanted to show the age of the vehicle including the wheel wells with the obvious mileage on it.

Don't need a floor jack for we have a customized scissor jack for cars and trucks which we elevate the vehicle up to eye level.

thanks again!
