No offense mate but you look 12 years old.

 

Soon to be 19

 

Great job Artem!

 

You do great work for an 18 year old! Keep up the hard work my man.

 

Thanks! Will do my best

 

great job. lol about russian snaks. where you get them?

 

It's great to see people around my age getting into detailing And you're already well ahead of me, I have not yet mastered paint correction.

That Mercedes looks fantastic, I've always loved the older Merc's. I do have to ask though, what's the deal with those seat covers?

 

Get a polisher and just keep playing with it and idk but i kinda like those seat covers!

 

That's my goal I think my boyfriend and I are gonna split the cost...between rent and everything else I don't have a lot of spare cash, and for the time being it's only gonna be his car and my car that see the benefits of my (hopefully) newfound polishing skills until I get to where I'm comfortable working on other people's cars. Or maybe I can get it for Christmas...hmm...

 

Just get a DA and you'll be good like a Griots.
