WOW! That looks like a lot of work. Don't even look like the same car as before. :)

Nope, you didn't detail that car, its a different car. No way unh unh, hmmm nope.

The Amazing Jason!!

I can't believe people allow their vehicles to get to that state. Their MB priveleges should get pulled, make them ride in a Festiva for a week and think about what they've done.

The exterior was so dirty because the owner has to drive down a gravel alley to park his car. I don't know about the interior but it's much better now... :)

That's absolutely INCREDIBLE for two reasons:

1. The fact that such a slob would own such a nice (and expensive) car.
2. The fact that you were able to totally transform that car.

The scary thing is this:

If someone was looking at that car on Ebay (or whatever) and saw the *after* pictures only, they would think, "Hey, it's obvious that guy took really good care of his car." When in reality the guy probably does one oil change every 20,000 miles.

Needless to say, I'm totally impressed, Jason. If you lived anywhere near Houston, or ever planned to visit here, I would have you all over my car like stink on *****. :)

VERY nice job!

P.S. How much did that guy pay you for that? He should've paid at least $500 just for you having to clean out his trash and dirty clothes. ;)

:) I guess the thing that works in your favor is that you do "a great job" and that he's such a slob that he'll be a return customer. It just goes to show you that he may own a classy car, but he himself....none.

Thanks AstroVic. The charge for this was the Stage III $210.00. Can't go wrong for that money, IMHO...

Jason, if you ever vacation in the Orlando area, bring your stuff! I got dibs on you.

That's great work. Wish I had help like that before car shows!

First, people that treat cars like that shouldn't be allowed to have nice ones. Even the crappiest cars I have ever owned looked as good as they could when I had them.

Second, your skills make me feel like a detailing idiot...;)

You do excellent work. And no matter how good I think I might be, I would love to have you detail my car. I need to get some Sonus Trim & Motor Kote to try on the motor some time. Plus, I need so decent brushes to get hard to reach areas and really grimey areas in there (even though it probably already looks better than most cars on the road today). Plus, need some good interior detailing brushes.

Again, excellent work.

The owner needs their butt kicked to let a car get that bad. Nice job Jason.

Are thoose really boxer shorts on the before shots inside the front pass seat? Damn? Does that guy live out of his car or have sex in his front seat? WTF? You should of charged extra for removing that...

Nah, that was a shirt. I spoke to the owner again today, he is really happy and wanted to know how he could keep it this clean...I just told him to stay out of the alleys :) his garage is in an alley so I just said "You have my number" and he thanked me again. Feels good to do a good job...

A blue Z06 awaits Zaino in the garage. After work I was able to get a Z-7 hand wash in before dark. Because of the season I only have twelve hours of day light so I'll be up bright and early. The car is gorgeous as-is. The car sees Zaino fairly often so I'll be doing Z-18 Claybar, followed by Z-6, Z-5 PRO, and topped with Z-6 again. I'll be up bright and early sunday to apply Z-2 PRO, followed by Z-6. It will also see Z-9 and Z-10 as well as Z-16 for you Zaino translators :) I have the ZFX system but I do not think it is necessary since the car only gets Zaino per the owner, so it's already well prepped.

Big, Big day tomorrow. If Zaino turns out to be as wonderful as everyone tells me, I'll buy every product they produce and incorporate it into an upgrade or a stand alone package. The money I make goes right back into supplies and thats how it should be.

Eric, PM coming your way...

Jason: I am going to fly you to New York one weekend in the spring. You will be locked in the garage until you work your magic on all of my cars! :D
