  • Advance Detail Chile-2009 Mazda 3

    Hi Guys,
    i want to share another car we did here in Chile, we had a clowdy day to work on and trouble with the complex "reception". i had a hard time triying to photograph the damage due to the weather and the color. but you can see the level of damage this car had even after being a "NEW" car. enjoy.

    Hola Amigos,
    les quiero compartit otro auto que hicimos aca en Chile, tuvimos un dia sin sol para trabajar y algunos problemas con los encargados del edificio, pero ambos fueron solucionados, uno con la ayuda de mi focos de inspeccion y lo otro con una llamada del dueno del auto. m costo fotografiar los danos por el clima y el color, pero en algunas fotos se puede apreciar el dano que tenia a pesar de ser un auto nuevo. disfruten

    Begining-Principio:









    Rims and suspecion/Llantas y suspencion.



    (the black behind the spokes was removed!! lo negro de atras fue limpiado tambien )


    Before-Antes

    After-Despues


    Done!! 3 more to go!!
    Listo!! quedan 3 mas!!


    After having the wheels done, we moved over to the washing stage.
    Despues de terminar las ruedas nos movimos a el lavado.



    Everything was washed/scrubed/degrased/desontaminated before the inspection and correction stage.
    todo fue lavado/escobillado/desengradado/descontaminado antes de la inspeccion y la etapas de correccion.

    INSPECTION-INSPECCION
    after cleaning and drying, i started the inspection, 2 of the biggest damages was a very deep scratch in on of the rear doors, and alot of paint chips in the hood and front end, for the chips i couldnt do anything but the scratch was fixed after correction

    Despues del lavado y secado comenze con la inspeccion, 2 de los mas grandes danos era un rayon basante profundo en la puerta trasera y varios piquetes de pintura en el capot y frente. no se podia hacer nada por los piquetes (aparte de pintura) pero el rayon fue arreglado despues de la correccion.



    i tried to photograph the damages but it was hard to capture
    intente fotografiar los danos pero costo captarlos.



    after some 50-50 correction
    desues de unos 50-50 de correccion



    before and afters: antes y despues:



    now over to the whole car.. ahora a todo el auto:


    sunroof had alot of left over glue, this was stuck on!! el techo tenia bastante pegamento pegado!!










    then the wheels were sealed: despues se sellaron las llantas:


    on to the finished shots: fotos finales:


















    Note: the rear dealer emblems were removed after taking this shots
    Nota: los emblemas de la compra venta tambien fueron removidos despues de estas fotos.

    Hope you enjoyed the pics.. see you all next time..
    Espero que les haya gustado las fotos.. nos vemos para la proxima.

      Good Lord, Nelson!! You do amazing work. I'm amazed at how you remove the wheels on every detail.

      How long does it take you to do your details? I'm super impressed to say the least.

        Thanks Colin, this car took about 6 hours, i remove wheels on almost all the details, is easier (for us) to remove them than having to work around the spokes, also the finish is 100% clean. i have my younger brother (1 year younger then me) he does all the rim and supencion work and help me out with the jobs and also my dad loves to come and help (clay and finishing), so i pay them for their work (pretty good), i enjoy working with them instead of having to work with someone else, also we spent some time together that we would not be able to do if we worked a normal 9-5 job. its been a month since i started here in Chile with detailing (charging clients) i used to do it more like hobby for my cars and friends, but i have been getting really good reputation for the level of work. things only get better from here.

          Glad to hear business is going well. That's pretty cool you get to work with your brother and father. I wish my brother and father were into detailing like yours are. With the quality work you've been posting, you certainly shouldn't have a problem keeping the clients rolling in. Good luck to you.
