Well, it was a long and tiring two days, but overall I was pretty pleased with everything.

Day 1

First up was a ’99 Dodge Viper ACR w/ 30,000 miles. He wanted a good clean-up and something that would last. This was the first Viper I’ve done. It was pretty easy to work with and on, but the water liked to drip forever from the front of the doors. The wheels were also a pain, but they came out pretty nice.

Next up was ’93 Mustang LX 5.0 w/ 32,000 miles. This thing is mint – probably the nicest I’ve ever come across. He, too, just wanted a good cleaning and something that would last. The sun was going down fast when I was taking pics of the next two.

I picked this one up at the last second when I was washing the Mustang. He just wanted an exterior wash, but it looked like this thing had been sitting in a dirt field.

Day 2

This day started out quite cold (35 degree windchill), completely overcast, and 30 mph winds. This truck is a daily driver / winter vehicle. It was suffering from a good bit of oxidation, etc. I didn’t step in too hard, but gave it a light overhaul and some good protection.

And to finish it all off, I did this GN which is capable of 10s down the 1320’. Similar to the S-10 and Mustang, he wanted a good clean-up and lasting protection.

Questions, comments, advice always welcome!

 

DAMN, that's some nice work, Always wanted to try zaino.

Damn fine job!!

 

Good job on all those cars. The condition of that Mustang is incredible. It's very rare to see an unmolested fox body Mustang today. Those cars are either chopped up into a race car or abused to the ground from a teenager. I wouldn't mind having that yellow GN.

 

That is one clean Fox body

 

All cars look great, even the banged up s10. I am a sucker for a fox stang though, so nice. btw, its an LX, not a GT

 

Your work looks great!!! I just started detailing our vehicles this year since my wife bought a 2005 Cobalt. I really enjoy it! I have been using Meguirs and Mothers products but have been planing on making an order to Zaino.
Do you own your shop or do you work for someone? I have toyed around with the idea of detailing on the weekend and see if I enjoy doing vehicles besides my own.

 

Unfrigginbelievable! Awesome work!

 

I only have one question..................


are you willing to commute for work

I have a guy from work who I have detail my truck once in a while but nothing like the results in your pics! I prolly dont pay him as much as you get either

I polish my wheels 'cause no one else will.
