  • My 1st Detailing Gig. Nissan 240sx Import Show Car.

    So my friend owns Best Tint in Stanton California and has a Nissan 240sx that he takes to shows. This car had major swirls and I always told him that I couldn't believe he would take his car to shows in that condition and I could make it so much better. He had alway though his paint was fine. After bugging him for ever, he finally wanted me to detail it. I gave him a quote and told him if he didn't like it, he didn't have to pay me. After it was done, he totally loved it and now is bugging me to get him the right stuff to maintain the finish.

    Sorry, no before pictures (rookie mistake)

    Only Meguiars products were used on this detail.

    Process:

    1) Meguiar's Gold Class Car Wash Shampoo and Conditioner
    2 bucket method w/ grit guards
    Meguiar's Microfiber Wash Mitt

    2) Meguiar's Smooth Surface Clay

    Then busted out the Meguiar's Dual Action Polisher, G110V2
    3) 2 passes w/ (burgandy) Meguiar's Soft Buff 2.0 Cutting Pad
    and Meguiar's Ultra Cut Compound #105

    4) 1 pass w/ (yellow) Meguiar's Soft Buff 2.0 Polishing Pad
    and Meguiar's Ultra Finishing Polish #205

    5) complete alcohol wipe down

    6) 1 pass w/ (black) Meguiar's Soft Buff 2.0 Finishing Pad
    and Meguiar's NXT Generation Tech Wax 2.0

    Waited overnight for Meguiar's NXT Generation Tech Wax 2.0 to cure.

    7) Meguiar's Gold Class Car Wash Shampoo and Conditioner
    2 bucket method w/ grit guards
    Meguiar's Microfiber Wash Mitt

    8) 1 more pass w/ (black) Meguiar's Soft Buff 2.0 Finishing Pad
    and Meguiar's NXT Generation Tech Wax 2.0

    FINISHED 1 1/2 Days.

    Here's the car right after it was finished.

            Looks nice! I really like the color on that porsche though!
            There's no reason to become alarmed, and we hope you'll enjoy the rest of your flight. By the way, is there anyone on board who knows how to fly a plane?

              He didn't want it cleaned. He says every time he cleans the tail pipe, he gets pulled over. Hahhahaa!

                    Looks great, great job!

                    As for the owner and his lack of knowledge, see what he dresses like, I am not suprised.
