Hello, New Here! (Detailing pics inside)

Hello All!

My name is Nick, new to the site, but not new to forums or cars! I'm from the Chester County area of Pennsylvania. I don't drive anything exotic, just a blah 2009 Ford Fusion SE Sport, however I have spent hours around exotic/high end vehicles.

I am a detailer, and have been for years, in my free time. Also used to detail for Jaguar/Land Rover and Ford. I have worked with many exotic makes, such as:

Ferrari
Lamborghini
Aston Martin
Bentley
Maserati
Mercedes
BMW
Audi
and of course
Jaguar
Land Rover

among many more! I'm here to offer my services to anyone in the area!

Also here to be apart of the 6speed community as I plan to have some worthy rides in the future!

A few pics of my work:
2008 Shelby GT500: this vehicle was left under brush for 3 months in direct sunlight.



6 hours after:

Welcome to the 6 Oakes. You'll have to post up some pictures of said exotics when you have a chance.

Thanks for the welcome! I will have to get them off my laptop tomorrow, a lot of my details with the exotics were done at the dealerships. I did manage some poor camera phone pics as having a digital camera on the job was risky and cumbersome. Since I had to also drive the vehicles frequently to and from other dealers, nothing like losing or breaking a fancy camera (which I have done doing so )

However, I do have a some details logged with good photos, such as Shelby GT500's, XKR's and others! Will continue to build them as I am focusing more on doing personal work as I have left the dealership world to grow on my own.

Nick, welcome to the 6...we love pics...there is a complete section for detailing and many members who are professionals like yourself and are quite knowedgeable...if you wish to offer your services on a commercial basis you will need to become a board sponsor...if you just want to show off your work, talk cars and have fun you are in the right place

Hi Chuck! I found the detailing section, as I have been browsing the site as a quest previously. I looked around the FAQ and Site Agreement for information on posting my services, I don't mean to advertise blatantly and discuss business on the forum. I however don't want to commit any foul, if it is better to be quiet about my services I will do so, as I am here to discuss cars mostly!

Ferrari F430 (camera phone again, before I pulled it inside)



Aston Martin DB7 (this car took me two days to "restore")







Great sounding car, however I liked the Vanquish and Vanquish S's I worked with far better. Enjoy! Sorry for the camera phone pics, like I said, digital camera at work where I was constantly moving around was risky and cumbersome to lag around.
