We care about the skin on our body as it follows us wherever we go, how about spending some time and money on something that brings us to where we want to, shelters us from the cold, heat and rain, and protects us from dust all whilst we are getting to some place. This baby got bashed pretty badly by all the crazy winds and dust.
With our amateur car cleaning knowledge and stupid car dealers killing off the paint more, we have decided to give Car detailing a go. Not by us, but by a self-taught professional car detailer. (Well he drives a much more expensive car than us and his car is ''spotless'' it scares me.)
We got the Exterior package on this car.
Here are some before photos.....

| This photo was after the wash and clay barring, the dust is from cause the MAN was at the polishing? |
 |
| Up close to the vents. Very clean work, No whirls or scratches. |
 |
| Those are sparkles....not dust. Can you see the clouds mirrored on the car's butt? |

| This was the bonnet of the car. Perfectly mirrors with no ugly lines or historical marks of lousy car washes. |

| It's been a long time............... |
Here is a comparison. I don't have to judge.

A car detail not only makes your car looks nice and shiny, it also makes you feel proud that albeit all that weather trashing and dust, you still manage to keep the beauty beautiful. AN has definitely gave us that with his excellent service. My car loves him.
Is it expensive? I would say it is affordable the price about right. Labour works is expensive in Australia, and I have been thru many car wash and polish places and they have done pretty much DAMAGE to my car instead. One even broke stuff in another car. That's cause they are mostly unprofessional and don't give a damn and just hide behind their Giant bosses. This is worth every penny. At least you know he is not going to run away with your CDs or pick up your loose coins.
I asked Andrew why car detailing, and he just said Passion for cars. When you meet him, you will understand why. I rather put it in the hands of someone who loves my car as much as I do then someone who gets 15 an hour slogging and hates his job.
How and Where to get this REBORN look?
The Man has a blog on his past works done and can be found at AN-DETAIL
Prices are competitive and he is a friendly guy.
If you live in Perth and own a car, what are you waiting for? Every car needs some love too.

Hi Karly, thanks for your comment. However, I would like to clarify that car detailing does not enhance a cars performance in different ways or in anyway at all. Car detailing simply means a detailed car care.
ReplyDeleteDetailing is definitely the way to go to bring cars back to their shining glory, not to mention cheaper than getting a new paint job. I'm impressed with Andrew's work. Your car looks brand new after he was done with it. -Prince
