Those new Escalades are so ugly. I dont know why people still buy them. Also curious as to which products you used?

let me preface this by saying this guy does not like to use expensive waxes or things of that nature and does not like to pay a whole lot


i used eagle one nano wax... it has fillers and stuff so it helps with the overall appearance as well as giving a bit of protection... :shrug: hes a very demanding customer and doesnt like pay a whole lot so he gets what he pays for.

nice work, dude. i didn't know you detailed cars! I'm on a zaino kick for mine, and was going to wash it this weekend but the rain ended that idea. do you do interiors? i'd like to get mine redone without using the wrong products and ruining the alcantara. any recommendations?

nice, thanks for the tip. my car will be 3 years old in october and the paint, even with the whole zaino thing done to it, just doesn't impress me. i've been thinking that it may need to be completely stripped down and redone. I was looking through Smokes' threads and am starting to think that i should get the car detailed like that. the front bumper and hood could use a repaint (hood got hit by an egg and has the radius chips in the paint, front bumper has been through highway rock abuse, bottom pieces are ground up from driveways) would you be able to do a job like that and the interior?
