Shop Now Open for Detailing Work...

OctaneGuy · #1 02-05-2007, 12:11 AM

Hey folks, please help me spread the word that the Shop is now open for detailing work. That includes wetsanding, cutting, and buffing, and the normal "completes" that I do.

I appreciate everyone referring jobs to me from other popular forums, but now that I'm working in a consistent environment, free of the cold, and changing lighting conditions, my quality of work can go up a notch now.

I'm also hiring freelance paint polishers on a per job basis, so maybe you've got a lead on a hot car you want to work on, but it might be just a bit over your head. Refer them to the shop and we can work on the car together.

And to make things even more interesting--we're offering the first 24 hour detailing service. This is for customers who can't part with their cars during the daytime or weekends. All they do is schedule an appointment with me, drop their car off, and pick it up in the morning.

The shop address is

1031 South Melrose Street, Unit A
Placentia, CA 92870

Google Maps

All the way in the back alongside the 57 freeway. The shop is visible from the 57 at the Orangethorpe exit.

As always you can hand out my link for samples of work and rates:

Congratulations Richard!

You probably won't get much visitors through me though as most people I can refer live in Belgium. Looks like an interesting concept though and taking up your work a notch? I thought that was not possible!

I'd like to see you "detail" the shop too. So before, during and after the works.

The shop is pretty large, but here's a shot of me working on a car on Saturday. All those cars behind me are cars in the queue to be worked on.

This also just happens to be a teaser for one of my products, the PC Guard, for enhancing the safety of your polisher using high density foam rubber as a barrier between your PC and the paint. Will be available this week in the SCG eShop. This is a product exclusive to SCG. Since I developed it, and currently manufacturing and screening them one by one. This is Part 1 of 3 parts of the SCG Signature PC. When you buy a PC from SCG, it comes with this mod already in place. It's also available separately for those wishing to enhance their existing PCs.

Ever try to polish out an area like under a door handle with a PC?? Have to be careful otherwise you might damage some paint with the vibrating metal housing hitting the customers car! Or maybe you just didn't push it in as far to give you some leeway but that didn't permit you to fully access the area you needed. Also true for around spoilers and any area that you might slip the PC pad under.

Retail is $9.95. Applies in 10 seconds. $10 to save hundreds or thousands on a new paint job is cheap insurance if you ask me!

richard, that is one of those " why didn't i think of that" items !!!!

mike at the shine shop
p.s. i thought i was nuts for working 7 days a week and some nights! 24 hours a day?

Thanks! Well after the next couple of items--you'll probably say that a few more times! The biggest one I'm saving for another week or so until I get confirmation of my patent pending status--then I will share with you the idea that really has me excited and all of those that have tested it for me (who are sworn to secrecy otherwise I have to kill them) over the past two years.

re: 24 hours
Haha, well I figure with rent being due every month, if I can get an extra car by working late hours that are convenient to the customer, I'll do it!
