I have the best clients in the world, and JerryR is one of the classiest guys you will ever meet. So for starters, thanks JerryR for letting me detail your "mechanical baby"! LOL

And sorry guys, for I am still trying to get this camera thing down. I am sure I could really show my hard work and correction's with some camera skills.

Jared, you did an awesome job on my "mechanical baby"! The car looks so nice and flawless - this is amazing work. For both the interior and the exterior, it's clear you took a lot of time, patience, and attention to detail in your work, and I can't say enough how happy I am with the results.

If you're in the area (Sacramento metro), and you need an absolutely top-notch detailer, Jared is your man...

Many thanks!

I feel you on that one. I just can't take pictures of the swirls no matter how I try @_@.

First off, nice work. Great attention to detail. Waxing trim is hardcore.

Tip! First, get it as dark as possible inside, close the garage doors. Point the halogen at the paint then go into manual mode (if you have it) and focus on swirls. If you don't it helps to put something on the paint like a post it, right beside the swirls. Why? The camera wants to focus on the reflections in the paint, even crappy ones, putting something on the paint for the camera to focus on will help it pick up the swirls.

Yeah, I hate it. Although the reflections make my work seem flawless (the "FMINUS shot" as we socale90 members have come to call it ), I really want to show the swirls that I got rid of, and the random isolated scratches that remained.

Whew! It's 10:30 p.m. I still have half the car to polish, so I will take your tip to use right away

Sorry for and thank you again PICUS!

Thanks!

CG cleaner works great, but you dont have to worry about the smell for it will be lost after conditioning. CG conditioner in the bottle does not smell to great, but one you apply it you will fall in love with the product. I find that most people love the "new car" smell over any product that has a smell of its own. CG leather conditioner is designed to bring out the natural smell of leather, and not create a oder of its own. Just ask JerryR. When he came his car had a noticeable "new car" smell, but when it left it became even more potent.




Thanks for all the kind works guys! I will not be seen on e90post for a week or so for I am heading to Vegas for a bachelor party; I know it sucks.

If you need to contact me please e-mail me at Jared.Ortner.Detailing@gmail.com

Take care everyone!

Jared

Awesome work Jared! It really shows the passion you have for detailing. Not only does he do an amazing job, he takes the time to talk to people and help them. He always answers my dumb questions!! Have fun in vegas bro. I feel sorry for you that you have to go for a week.

Yes, very, very nice, how do you like your Flex compared to a random orbital?
I think that is going to be my next purchase.
