Nice work.

I think this is proof of many things.
-ability of damf
-Detail adding value to car
-there is an fj color I actually like
-Marc always does a immaculate job

Thanks a lot for the compliments, Chris!!!

And I don't know about your last point!!! ROFL!!!!

The DAMF System is a really great invention thanks to Meguiar's.

Great work saving the paint!! The before pics look absolutely terrible and depressing... Amazing transformation!! I'm obviously not the owner, but I feel like saying thank you for doing what you did to this poor victim of a car... Many don't realize how much cheaper it is to maintaining one's paint job with detailing stuff than to have it detailed/corrected by someone...

Thank you so much, ffboy!

Sometimes, it makes me think what's the point of maintaining the car when one can detail it to perfection in one weekend anyway.

Marc, your talents keep growing. Your work is just amazing. Right product, plus right process and right person = spectacular results.

Thanks a lot for the compliments, Kris! Much appreciated!

Marc,

TV shows go off the air after a great season
Presidents don't run again when they are most popular
And you, well it's time to retire...at the pinnacle of your career!

Never mind, you'd be missed by all those swirls begging to be removed.

Thank you so much, David!!!

Upon closer look of the photos I see a very familiar smashed bottle of M101.
I am glad to see I contributed to this detail job from a state away

And 2 bottles of Gatorade....must of been a workout

Definitely was. I got to a point where I couldn't apply pressure anymore because my arms were sore. The owner was helping me during that time. More pressure than normal was used to achieve this result.

It was also 108F that day. It was very hot.

UPDATE: The owner got $2,000 more for his trade in. He said he could have probably gotten more if he pushed it but he was already getting $3,000 less on the car he was purchasing relative to all the cars of that same make, model, year and mileage around the area.

Overall, we were both happy with the value added on the car.

Good result!

Hope you got a decent share of that $2k!

^ or Marc spent $2000 on a new paint job

Re: Detailed: 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser - Black Cherry Pearl (Trashed Off-Road Revival)

Thanks so much once again, Davey and Chris!!!!

LOL@ STRIFE hahaha!!!

Re: Detailed: 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser - Black Cherry Pearl (Trashed Off-Road Revival)

You should have split the $2,000 with the owner, it's only fair, hahaha... Or charged the owner the same amount of money.. The thorough exterior detail made all that possible..

This makeover is incredible. I haven't used 101 yet, but after seeing this I just might have to. Did you mix it 50/50 with D300 and if so, how much better do you think this worked than if you would have simply used D300 straight?
