Default Picked up the F from the Detailer

And boy does it look sexy. The car is Black but looked grey, even when it was washed it looked dirty. I loved the car but hated the paint, the scratches from washing and previous "buff jobs" destroyed the appearance. $400 later and a car that is without a surface scratch or swirl keeps this stupid grin on my face. If I told you the car was just painted you would believe it. This was the third car he has done for me, I highly doubt there is anybody better. Pictures to follow, I wish I had befores to show just how bad my paint really was. Anybody in the GTA who want to treat their F to the spa call Brian at 416-402-5458. Like I said, I will try to have photos up tomorrow. It maybe snowing here Monday, if it does its going to have to wait.

And that's just for the outside, inside still filthy. I will post pic when I can. Like I said, it looks like I got new paint. I gave him my M Roadster with scratches down to the metal, I was given it back with none. He's "ONE" with the paint.

I convinced my buddy with a black Porsche to get his car done, his car was scratched to hell as well. He didn't believe me his paint would look like new, when he saw the car he was floored and tipped him an additional $50.

Any pics?! Mine needs some detailing, but I don't think I could throw $400 bills to a detailing job! Maybe $50

I'm curious what a $400 detail job looks like because to be honest...a detail job that involves paint correction can easily go for $700. So with that said, I want to see what you got for $400.

Agreed. My friend just had a mobile detailer come to his house this past weekend to remove swirl marks and detailing job. The detailr sold him this Optimum Opti Coat thing to go along with the paint correction detail. The whole thing cost $1200. He was there for over 12 hours detailing that freak'n car. I do have to say, that Porsche was immaculate.

I would have done the same thing for about $650. Thats crazy but atleast the car looks good and opti coat is permanent.
