Exclusive Auto-Detailing: SoCal
Hello everyone. As many of you know, I do mobile auto detailing in southern california and I am now a sponsor on this site. I own a mobile detailing business called Exclusive Auto-Detailing and I am located in Northridge but I travel as far as 70 miles. This thread is to post some of my work and to answer any questions you may have about detailing. Thanks!
Decided to clean up the G. Dont mind the rock chips. They are bad.

Looks like you use Zaino. Can you either post or PM me your prices (wash/clay/polish) for a Z? Also, please include prices for additional coats of Zaino. What is "OP" and "106ff"? Is that a rotary or porter cable orbital or something? Thanks and great work!

Hey everyone; I got a couple PM's and e-mails asking me about the products I use.
I have over 30 waxes and sealants that I use depending on the color of the car, whether the paint is pearl or metallic, depending on the durability the owner desires, and so on. Here is a quick list of some of my more popularly used sealants and waxes.
Pinnacle Souveran
Zaino Z2pro and Z5pro
Jeff's Werkstatt Acrylic Jett and Carnauba Jett
Poorboys Nattys Blue
Clearkote Carnauba Wax
Optimum Car Wax
I do use abrasive polishes (also known as compounds), which I use depend on the condition of the paint and the expectations of the owner. My "One Step Polish" package uses a light to moderate abrasive polish to remove light swirls and marring while leaving the paint smooth and glossy. My "Multi-step Compounding" package is designed to use heavy, moderate, then light polishes (the number of steps depends on the condition of the paint) to remove heavy swirling and marring and leave the paint smooth and glossy. Some of the polishes I use are:
Menzerna Power Gloss, Super Intensive Polish, PO106ff
Optimum Hyper Compound, Compound, and Polish

Hello everyone. Car belongs to a returning customer. I polished his 535i about a week ago. Anyway, he brought his Navigator and after washing it and putting under the lights. I knew it was going to be a long day. Also, the interior was a mess. I forgot to take before pictures of the interior. Also, by the time I finished, it was dark, so no sun pics!
