Hey all,
I'll start with the basics and then move on to the more specifics and goal related content;
Name: Matthew Stockley
Age: 22
Location: Newfoundland, Canada
Current Vehicle: Black 2007 VW GTI
Experience: Five years total of paid work: 4.5 Years at a dealership and a half of a year on my own. 6 years of personal experience.
Like above, I have only been seriously detailing for a half of a year now, but I have been "detailing" for about 5 years now. While at the dealership, I have been - I shouldn't say forced, but I am going to say it anyways because my "mentor" was performing in certain ways and I wasn't going to try and correct him due to various reasons - forced into performing a variety of tasks in some less than safe or practical ways, but now that I am on my own and honed my personal skills over quite some time in the driveway, I can honestly say that the most enjoyable work I have ever done was through my own personal mobile detailing. I have had the joy of working on some pretty decent vehicles over this past summer too! Ones such as a 2011 Camaro Intimidator (1 of 11, I believe) and a F-Type V8S. That being said, I joined these forums to further increase my brain power and become a better detailer so I can further my portfolio of successful detailings.
I don't have photos of them all, but here is a small number of vehicles that I have worked on over the last couple of months:
2008 VW R32 - Clay, One step polish, Seal, Wax, and Interior; 9 Hours (Teaching the owner some methods as we went)
2013 Mustang Boss 302 - Clay, One Step Polish, Seal, Wax, and Interior; 6.5 Hours
Jaguar F-Type V8 Supercharged - Clay, Seal, Wax, Interior; 5 Hours (Unfinished in picture, lost the good picture of when it was completed. This is just sealed, nothing else)
2011 Camaro Intimidator (1 of 11) - Clay, Correct, Seal, Wax, and Interior; 21 Hours
Thanks for taking the time to look at my work! Sorry for not being so coherent as I am deathly tired right now
