Actually I have a very funny question, why all shop detailers like to show that they detailed those expensive cars?

They don't clean or detail more common cars, like Honda City or Toyota Altis meh??? (For example lar)

And my question is not pointing towards specific forumers. I am not a sexist.

you go to Armani they dont display their underwear at the window right?

Malaysia no, UK and NZ yes.

And I don't really see the relevance here. It is the result of the car that they detailed ma, not the car.... no?

I think I saw another detailer show off an old car, where he put shine back onto the old fainted paint. That really impressed me. Wouldn't that impress potential customer more, because that show that he is skillful and freaking patience.

We are indeed looking into that once we get our operations up and running at a 100%. We do have an excellent training facility upstairs and attendee's will have the chance to try out all of the products at our detailing bays.

I fully agree and we most certainly do not discriminate.

Certainly the results are not due to the car.....
Alza?


Passat?




911 Turbo?


As for older cars:

You can check out my buddy KC's blog for this...




Or this old Mazda 626 on mine...

This one is probably my favorite.... On a Honda Accord...

Paint is paint ya? Whether its an Accord or a Porshe GT2...

After giving some more thought in this matter....

While paint is still paint, the car which it is painted on varies termendously!

We are all motorheads and detailers at heart and it is indeed a thrill to work on a million dollar supercar or to carry out an extreme makeover on an older 'non-super' car.

Me and my buddy KC started our detailing journey many years ago. You can check out all of our work on our respective blogs linked from our website. We both started our working on humble but no less important rides. The satisfaction from making things shiny was and still is the primary reason we kept pushing and moving forward.

Through the years I have come to realize that there are two distinct types of detailers. I categorize them as theoretical vs practical detailers. There is nothing wrong with being either one or a combination of both but there are distinct differences.

Theoretical detailers are interested in the tools. Whether it is the latest polishing machine, polish/compound, wax, sealant, and now coatings..... For this group of people it is all about the latest and 'greatest'. Many of these detailers are capable of great work but their interest lies in the 'tools' of detailing and they compare water beading angles, measure the gloss of the latest waxes and coatings, compare durability of the diffferrent products, etc. With so many different brands and products in the market there is no end to the search for the 'holy grail' of detailing and hence no end in their passion to find the next best thing.

Practical detailers are more interested in the results. Tools are important but knowing which tool to use and becoming familiar with it to deliver the results is what's important. These types of detailers just like making things shiny and it is always about the car which is being detailed. Extreme makeovers are always exciting and looking for more interesting and exotic cars becomes the primary focus. This is indeed a challenge.

Buying the latest tools or products just requires you to have sufficient funds to purchase them.

Convincing owners of premium or exotic cars to hand over their rides to you requires more than just the latest tools and products. They have to be convinced that you possess sufficient skills to take care of their precious rides and deliver the results they are after. That is the challenge and that is what keeps me and KC going. It took years of consistent effort and "Showing Our Work" to build up a sufficient reputation to carry out such work. The tools and products we used have changed over our journey but the results are still the same. We use the products that enable us to deliver the best results the most efficiently.

Ultimately, it is about the work..... Isn't it?

Hmm, time for me to share some experience at Detailien Hive also... Just giving my ride a light polish to reveal better shine after Opti-Coat 2.5 years.

first time opening this thread. saw those lovely alien pics.

seech, where can I view the price for your detailing services?

Not sure if you could access, but we have it on our facebook page.

I can think of another type of detailer:

Commercial detailers - one whose main aim is to make money, bar none.

This type plenty lor... Went to those shop you can see plenty, shoot empty bullet one also got...Sometimes you can see online too.

Exactly. But, unfortunately, these 'pirates' are the ones that are really making money and getting rich. No need license, no need permit, no need to pay advert, cheap rental, minimising overhead and maximising profit.....

Not all pirates are bad what? Jack Sparrow?
