NY State Trooper: So what makes your car so special to have SVT all over it?

Well at least he moves the car inside to wax and getting paid a ton of money to detail really nice cars.

I could nitpick many things that he does "improperly".
Detailing non-DD garage queens is very easy. It's a matter of gaining the reputation to do the high end cars which he obviously has, and kudos to him for that.
I do know a lot of fundamentals and theories, but I by no means everything and still have a lot to learn. Once I master the PC, you'll see some big before and after results from me.
He doesn't impress me at all - he's just brought out expensive products and equipment and made a shiny, rarely driven car shiny. The guy who did the black Porsche Cayenne below, now that impresses me.
Before all swirled/scratched up:
After with not a swirl or scratch to be seen:
And no, I can't do that....yet.

Yeah... I don't need an expensive gauge to tell me where dings are in my paint. I'm still convinced my method (and CEGs) will produce better, longer lasting results.

Big whup....I spent 7 hours detailing the outside of my Jeep Grand Cherokee this past w/n and it looks as good as/better than the car that guy was working on. I can't believe he applies wax with his bare hands, better not have any rough skin!

On a somewhat related note, I was watching "Unique Whips" a couple weeks ago and the guy said "don't forget to hit the tires with Armor All!". So I'm thinking, yeah Armor All is now a generic term for applying tire dressing to the tires, but what does he grab...ARMOR ALL and get this, the tires he used on were mounted to some $15K tires/wheel combo for Tony Stewarts orange Lambo, you've got to be kidding me  I'm never going to have a tv show or even my own "legit" detailing business/building, but I know better than to use straight Armor All on anything other than up in the wheelwells mixed with my Griots wheelwell detailer (makes the product last longer by diluting it  )
