Default I_Guess's car detailed.

I_Guess

I did I_Guess's car another TR members car today. I took the job on after he brought his car to a Clearwater detailer. The detailer didn't do a good enough job so he had brought it to me.
I ran into a few issues, one being the front bumper had what I thought "bugs" still on the paint. I then later found out it wasn't bugs it was just from the bugs sitting on the paint for such a long time beating in the sun it killed his clear coat, destroying his paint.
We also then later ran into a small problem with neglected acid rain on the windows. All an all, the car was a success. The major scratches that were on the truck were buffed out to the best ability I could do.

The products I used will be listed below for all the viewers who wanted to know what I used for a vehicle like this:


Products:
  • Meguiars Mirror Glaze #62 Carwash Shampoo & Conditioner
  • Meguiars Mirror Glaze #62
  • Mirror Glaze #2 Fine Cut Cleaner
  • Meguiars #21 Synthetic Sealant 2.0
  • Meguiars Mirror Glaze #9 Swirl Remover 2.0
  • Meguiars NXT Generation Tech Wax 2.0
Break down on each item:
  • The powerful cleaner/polisher in #9 Swirl Remover pulls up dirt and grime and reduces the appearance of swirl marks and minor scratches.
  • Meguiars Mirror Glaze #62 Carwash Shampoo & Conditioner: This ultra-sudsy, non-streaking formula is pH balanced to protect all clear coat finishes. The free-rinsing conditioning agents and paint nutrients provide sparkling, streak- and spot-free results.
  • #21 Synthetic Sealant 2.0 visually eliminates fine swirls and scratches to render a flawless finish. Your paint will appear darker, glossier, and smoother than ever
  • Meguiar’s #2 Fine Cut Cleaner to bring back the smooth, flawless finish of their prized vehicles.
  • Meguiars NXT Generation Tech Wax 2.0 introduces a new dimension of gloss and protection! Nothing even comes close to this amazing product. NXT Generation Tech Wax 2.0 glides on and off easily leaving behind shimmering evidence of the protection it’s supplying! Gaze through the crystal-clear shell at the depth and richness of drenched color below. You'll be surprised how easy it is to reveal a dazzling new finish!

That picture with me in front of the front door with the canon camera is not a mirrior but the front door it self.

Man you come on hear like you did a bad ass job. The only thing good you did was getting rid of the 3 little nicks on my doors. You did not even wash my truck when I got there. I have wax in all my seals around the doors and windows. So it took you 5 hours to buff and wax the truck. It was taking so long I took you not to do the inside. Most of the work you show is bull shit cause you did not even know what you where doing. I could of done the same shit with my Wal-mart buffer. I lost time and gas on this shit.

Don't get work done by Joe or what ever name he is going by now. I will tell you this. He can talk a good game but now the game is fucking him.

Thanks for nothing, Kevin

Wow, thats not a good review. Well, I guess you know who to come to next time. Funny thing is, is that SPC_Celica came at me saying the 10-12 hours I spend doing my full correction was way too long! This explains everything! I always do a rewash after Im done polishing for this very reason..sorry about your experience "I Guess".

Bro he is full of shit!!!! He did not take 10 hours. I was there maybe 5 and he was doing other things like talking on phone,looking for thing to work on my truck but could not find ( cause HIS comp. trailer had most of it in there), and trying to get somebody to help him.

I even asked him about washing after all was done. He said no dont have to. I am just mad at I went out there for what I got. He told me he was the best.

Now his bro is trying to say he did a good job. He did an ok job. He is not the best like he said he was. I mean come on he typed up 4 windows but did not do around front window or the middle of the back window. Just a fuck ass job.

Look here. This is where his bro is talking me he is good.

Your truck was messed up and yet it turned out pretty dam good besides your hood.. nothing detailing can really do to your , your clear coat on your front end is chipping away.

He did ok on my truck bud. It was going to be a full detail. When I got there it was raining some so he did not wash the truck. ( first thing I let go) Then he he went to getting the 2 fuck up's out of the door. He started going all over the truck. ( here and there kind of thing) He then gets you up to help him cause his girl did not have a ride. There was just soo much bull shit that he did not need to do. The things I needed done that did not get done before (and I pointed them out) he did not do. I was there almost 5 hours bro. He did not even get to the inside so I told him dont do it. So it was an OK job.

The hood I know about but the rear window had shit around it still, wax all over the seals, no inside work, all of these thing add up. Plus he had YOU do some of the work. DID YOU GET SOME OF THE MONEY? Just two much for me man. He told me he was the best. He said if he does not not do a 100% best job I have seen the job would be FREE. Also the next detail would be free. So I was nice to give him what I did. He just made it sound like he was the best ever. He was not the best or even close. If I would have known this I could have got me own buffer and done it myself. If you need me to show you pm's about what he said let me know.

Thanks and sorry to post this in here.

Check out some of my details in my forum, you will notice that EVERY seal/doorjamb/light/etc is taped up. this is completely neccesary to make sure you dont touch anything your not supposed to and possibly burn it with the buffer. I spend sometimes half hour-to one hour just prepping the car with painters tape before i even touch the car with a buffer. I also found it a little funny that he only taped up the side windows???
