Evo X detailed!
 

Finally got my car over to ken's place so I can learn a few tricks him. I think I almost scrapped my sides skirts going into his driveway!

Upon arrive my car looks like this...not uber dirty, but its not clean either.

He then whips out a paint brush like things and skooled me on how a sponge will probably miss cleaning little things like the emblem, so you use a paint brush.

Took 6 hours...it was most epic. Had white spot burger afterward, which was also pretty epic. Ken did an amazing job polishing my side skirts, not to mention that I learn a lot of new things! One thing that freaks me out when we were detailing was the amount of attention he paid to doing things right...I thought I was anal...lol

Just a little background info on my friend, Ken, who does detailing for fun. This is pretty much his part time job, so you if you are local in the greater Vancouver area, and you want your car detailed, PM me! Just trying to help a friend to spread the word that helped me! I hope this doesn't violate any forum rules, if so, I will take this bit off!

Thanks for viewing!

Wow thats amazing, is the Ken you are talking about 911fanatic?

you people wash your cars inside the garage? that's amazing

and you guys wear jeans and shoes? don't they get soaked after?

is that hot water that you are spraying on the car? if i had a garage like that.. i would wash the car with warm water.. =)

haha...ya, it was not the best clothing of choice...I wore my mechanic suit over my t shirt and jeans :p. It was really cold outside, so we decided to wash the car in the garage as their was a drainer just out outside. And yes, we used warm water! We used a foam gun, it was fun to use lol

Naw, just a guy with the same name LOL

Great Job! Too bad it took u guys more then 6 hours to realize its gonna RAIN/SNOW for next month straight! haha jk i did the same to my car who cares right? if u enjoy doing it its all good!

Nice work, I personally would've waited until AFTER winter though :p

clean job!


too bad the weather is shitty everyday
almost pointless to wash

wax to protect ya i guess

Thanks for all the kind comments. The point of this detail was to get it ready for winter, against all the shit from the roads!

Thats what I like to see. Guys out there in November polishing and waxing! The Colli 845 is a great choice for winter protection. How did you guys like the Gilmour Gun? I havent had a chance to test one yet.

Ken right? I have heard much about you from Brendan ;) I have yet you pay you a visit, but I eventually will!!! The colli 845 is the absolutely THE SHIT...very durable, very easy to apply!

HOW MUCH DID IT END UP COSTING YOU FOR THE DETAIL WORK???

nice work! i should get you guys to clean/polish my Volvo!

That EVOX is pure sex! How much does a new MR go for?
