This hood has been outside for almost 10 years and has endured ALL the elements. There is a long list of products, techniques and how-to's out there. Anyone can watch a video and can use a little "hand wax" to make a new car look shiny. But it all comes down to skill and a passion for what you do. I think this picture alone can speak for itself on what an amazing, skilled detailer can really do for your vehicle. It's about really knowing your products, knowing which product works best for what vehicle. It's also knowing how fast or slow to cut, wax, seal and polish. All auto companies use different types of paint. You really have to know which auto companies use the better paints. Did you know you can burn through a Ford vehicle using the same speed and product that you would use on a Mercedes?! When you are truly passionate about your work it will show. Detailing isn't about making your car shiny. It's about keeping the integrity of your paint and vehicle.
