    [SIZE=12pt]It gives me great pleasure to announce that HD Car Care - Detroit has closed the deal on its new home. We just completed the paperwork for an exclusive commercial building on 1251 Rochester Rd (at Maple/15 mile) in Troy, MI. Centrally located within the affluent automotive mecca of Bloomfield, Birmingham, Rochester Hills & Royal Oak, but also immediately surrounded by approximately 50 new & pre-owned car dealerships including the Troy Motor Mall.[/SIZE]

    [SIZE=12pt]This 6000++ square foot facility will be transformed into a state of the art detailing & reconditioning center. Our main focus will be both high volume dealer reconditioning as well as high end retail detailing and permanent paint coating systems. Not only will HDCC - Detroit be highlighting the use of the exclusive HD Car Care product line, but will also be utilizing the most modern machines & tools to perform the highest quality and efficient workflows the detailing industry has to offer.[/SIZE]

    [SIZE=12pt]HD Car Care - Detroit[/SIZE][SIZE=12pt] will be unique as it is the detailing industry's 1st detailing operation to launch from a well known car care product line. Like the HD product line, HDCC - Detroit will also focus their efforts on relentless growth coupled by unparralled service, quality and innovation. David Fermani, the owner of HDCC-Detoit, worked closely with Tunch Goren (owner of 3D Products who manufacturers the HD Car Care line) to brand and develop a complete line of detailing products geared towards the high end detailer and enthusiast car care aficionado. HD Car Care products has built a strong image of quality by claiming to be one of the only product lines developed by high end detailers for high end detailers. All products are custom blended for ease of use and peak performance. In fact, Tunch Goren holds the trademark for Detailing Made Simple which coincides with the marketing approach of the HD Car Care brand. [/SIZE]

    Thanks Gianni! I really appreciate it. I'll definitely be posting a bunch of pics. The wash bay/floor drain system is being installed on Wednesday. I'll be sure to take a bunch of pics.

    Will you also be selling products? Or is this a service only buisness?

    Either way, best of luck from the east side!

    As promised, here are some additional pictures I snapped today:

    I am attached to a auto repair shop with a huge parking lot:

    Monday the plumbing contractor is going to cut out this 20 X 20 corner piece of concrete to install a floor trench drain and oil/water separator.

    [​IMG]

    We're considering reusing these pre-fabbed door walls for the 20 X 20 office we're building. They're equipped with lighting and windows.

    And here's an additional air storage tank that we're planning on having connected to our compressor. (thanks to my landlord)

    Here's the 75 gallon oil/water separator and trench drains that will soon be installed:

    It also has a separate sand interceptor:

    14 foot long of drains:

    Endless supply of electrical power. In fact, this building use to be the home of a manufacturing plant back in the day and they left the lighting behind.

    [​IMG]

    Old lighting has been taken down. I'll be installing approximately 35 new 6 lamp T8 fixtures with high lumen lamps. I'm actually going to be receiving a pretty good rebate from our local energy supplier as part of their energy efficiency program:

    The plumbing contractor had to tie into the city main septic sewer for my drain. This mean them needing to dig down nearly 15 feet underground to gain access and borough through our shop wall with sewer pipe.

    The trench drain and oil-water separator is set and ready to go.

    Got the 1st round of inspector approvals. This means they can start pouring the concrete.

    [​IMG]

    Had to rent a scaffold to do the lighting, electrical & air lines. Without this the job would almost be impossible to complete.

    After a ton of research, I finally found a perfect match to the Ferrari color Rosso Corsa.

    I'll be sure to give you updates as I move forward. Thanks for watching!
