Bay Area Auto Detail Portfolio by Detail Addict

I had the opportunity to work on syncopation's ride today...

detailed the car inside and out. wash, clay bar, polish, wax, wheels, tires, vacuum, wipe down, rubber floor mats, windows, mirrors, odor removal, and headlight restoration.

It's silver so the before and after pictures don't show much of a difference. But it definitely FEELS very different after the clay/polish/wax.

enjoy your ride syncopation!

if you wanna see the work, take it away from the buildings.

Take it somewhere with plenty of sunlight, and don't be affraid to get into the car. Don't just get shots of the whole car, get one of the hood, get one of the side, get a little lower stance when taking the picture too.

Also, it always makes the pic look a little cooler when the ground is wet. I've just seen a lot of cool pics like that.

Let me know if you ever wanna head out with me on a shoot.

hehe, right now is kind of tough for me. I'm down a person at work so I'm having to work Sundays right now, but once that's done, in the next few weeks, I'll get together with you.

Alright, I did this one today, this is another i-club member, castro... This is actually a returning customer from 3 months back. You have to see it in person, since it's relatively close from the last detail, there was still plenty of sealant left and after another layer it looked even better this time around.

This is from today: wash, clay, polish, sealant


This is from 3 months back: wash, polish, sealant

The car looks awesome. Thanks Leo! You performed an excellent job, with what I condsider to be a very professional experience. The paint is so smooth now, the headlights look great, and the interior fogging did the trick.

I highly recommend Leo's services. Great job with no worries.
