Bored now
Ok folks, my job situation is still up in the air at this point so frankly, I need to make a little cash. I'm considering putting together a resto-fest, similar to a cam fest for this weekend (or possibly next)... basically you'd show up, I'd two-step your car including wet sanding and/or compounding on scratches. You'd be responsible for the final step which is just a final wipedown and wax, and any other little detail work like toothbrushing doorhandles to remove wax/glaze residue, etc. It wouldn't even need to be done right away, though to preserve the finish you'll want to wax it as soon as possible.
I wouldn't be able to handle major projects like my 91 was, but for those with your average use wear & tear I can give your car a new lease on life.
Ordinarily I charge $160 for a full on external resto; for the resto-fest I'll go half price at $80 per car. I can do 3 cars per day, possibly 4 so that gives 6-8 slots total for the fest. Now when I say finish restoration, I'm not just talking about a quick glaze & wax... I'll be using compond and in some cases even sandpaper to remove scratches and restore the finish to a good shine. 95% of detail shops out there will only do an orbital polish or in a few cases use a glaze with a buffing wheel on low speed, but these steps will not remove scratches or restore a deep shine. Because of the risk involved with sanding & compounding a finish most shops can't/won't do a full on paint resto; they simply lack the experience. I actually consider my work to lean more towards what you'd find at a body shop. And after eight years of wheelwork I'm quite good at taking a finish that many would think is trashed and bringing it back to glory. Here's a few pics of what I've done in the past:
My recently acquired 91+...
My biggest project to date (literally) that I finished up this past weekend:
Can you tell what section I haven't buffed yet? The whole truck looked like that... dingy, chalky white.
6-8 slots available, either this weekend or next. No full size trucks or SUVs, and if your car is in pretty rough shape I won't be able to swing it for the fest (but I can help you out, PM for specifics). Exact location still TBD but it will be southeast Michigan, near my house in Howell. That's about an hour from the Detroit area, 1.5 from the Ohio border, 2 hours from West Michigan and 2.5 from the Indiana border.
Also, $10 per car will go to SHOforum, so you'll be helping support the forum as well
With winter coming now is the time to make sure your finish is cleaned and protected... so who wants to have a shiny new car?
