Nice Job, your turning alot of cars! What system do you have set-up?

 

thanks yes we are turning out a few cars.

what do you mean what system do I have, can you maybe elaborate on that question.

 

How many employees and do they handle all the work(polishing, decon, lsp)?

 

all my guys currently can work a machine.

depending on how many cars I have lined up I have a bench going 5 deep.

I usually handle about 90% of the polishing and compound.

The guys are usually brought in when we have cars back to back.

All the guys are more than capable of washing, decon, clay, full interiors, steaming, engine detailing, last step, and final touches.

I'm constantly getting all the guys to step up their compound and polishing game.

 

Wow, doing some work! Thanks for the info!

 

Great work Phil, thing looks gorgeous

 

thanks mrd0T. if you need any assistance on anything let me know I can answer anything you want.

Chas thanks!

 

Nice work Phil!

 

Well oiled machine over there at DD.

 

thanks guys!

 

Another BMW! Well done!

 

Looks great Phil!

-Kody-

 

thanks everyone.

 

Consensus from a few guys is that the Opti Guard is the way to go, sure looks good on Jeff's truck. Phil I used the Master laster on those jobs in Vegas as Jimmy (Bobby Bottle...) has one and it "Blows away" pun intended the Craftsman leaf blower I have.........got to get one.

 

Awesome work Phil, BMW did a great job on the new 5-series.

 

wow, one after another. nice! so clean

 

thanks guys!.

yup the metro air force blaster is a must have at this point.

 

looks amazing Phil.

 

Phil, what was used on the glass? It looks like a chamois.
