The truck was in decent shape, customer is now converting it to his nice weather car. Once small problem was the stained paint and oxidation. The megs #80 cleaned it up quick though. Only taking a few passes. The car was also clayed with Blue magic (blue) clay.

*sigh* I am a little ashamed of the before pics, now everyone will know what sort of disarray my truck was in, however, I am glad I got this done. Scott did some fantastic work. I was especially pleased with the engine detail. The engine bay was a complete mess and I was afraid he would refuse to even touch it, but it looks great now.

The truck looks great now for the first time in years. With it now being parked for the bulk of the time I will hopefully do a better job of keeping it this way.

Thanks again Scott. To anyone who ever gets your vehicles detailed or want to this is a great way to go.

Scott that looks really, really nice and very reasonable.

Thank you. I try to keep my prices fair.




what were the upgrades on that detail ?

The upgrade was the engine detail. I also did a light polish for him for free. After washing, claying and examining the paint, i couln't just put a sealant on top of the oxidized paint. I did a light polish at no charge. He was in church and i wasn't able to discuss with him before i did the polish, so i though it was only fair i dont charge him. He was a stand up guy so i had no problem doing it.




Also how far out of the metroplex do you go out?

All depends. If its a full detail i will go as far as 40 miles, with a small gas charge.

Let me try to translate

" Thanks for the free advertising, however Im too busy to translate the Acronyms for you if you dont know them. "

I know that you didn't post here JUST TO drum up business, because that would be wrong. BUT if you did I would assume that the vast majority of your intended audience doesn't hang out on Detailing forums and therefore doesn't understand the acronyms

I'm a little confused by that comment above... If you would like to know the names of them let me know..I'm not to lazy..It was just faster to do it this way..I don't mind answering any questions .. I wanted to post this to show you what I do..what do I need to change?

Scott, being a guy that used to frequent detailing forums, I understood most of the acronyms that you used.. I think what I would suggest is to go back to your prior post and spell out (edit) each of the acronyms. Also, a short list of your most frequent ordered services and prices would help..

just a suggestion

In case the last 2 attempts for clarification didnt help. Myself and most of the rest of the TALON guys DONT know what the heck you are talking about.

Would you mind passing out My business card to all your customers ?

ok I will go back and post the names..not right now because it would take forever on my itouch LOL..
But when when I get home I will do this.. Also you can visit my website that a have posted for my prices or feel free to pm me if you want to talk about pricing..also I wouldn't mind handing out your cards

I thought the pics looked great and I'm not an expert detailer by any means and I understood what was being said. You do great work and for the money I dont think anyone can beat it:tu:

Scott14
10-13-2008, 11:30 AM
Thanks! I now posted up most of the stuff i used and the links where you can buy them. They give you alot better discription. Sorry for all the confusion guys. I thought It would be better if you just asked me a question, but this was prob. the best route. You not only see in detail what the product does, but where you can buy it. If theres anymore qustions or concerns please let me know. I will be more than happy to answer them.
