JUST IN: New Before and After Car Auto Detailing Photos!!!

One of the most difficult things to do in the business of mobile auto detailing is educating prospective clients what car detailing can do to your car. IT CAN MAKE A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE. To conquer this obstacle, I’ve put together some art work that show the dramatic effects my auto detail packages can do for your car.

In this post, I’ll go over each before and after photo and do a little ’show and tell’.

EXHIBIT A:
The Volkswagon Golf below has received a signature detail package spa treatment. On top of that, we have polished and shined up the headlights through our magical headlight restoration process. I followed up with the owner of this car and he was able to easily sell this car after having it detailed. This car was detailed in November of 2007. The new owner must have thought this car was well taken care of.

EXHIBIT B:
This old Mercedes SL has taken a beating from both the natural and artificial (human) surroundings. The trunk was a mess with trash from the 80s, stains from who knows what and dust from dinosaurs. It was all taken care of with our Signature Detail Package.

EXHIBIT C:
Here’s one of those unavoidable tree scuffs on a silver Lexus LX470. It was specially treated, then polished. Although the scratch was too deep to completely take out, there was still a dramatic difference in the appearance of the affected area.

Exhibit D:
The biggest and best part of auto detailing is bringing out the shine and original luster of a car’s paint. This was the case in a black, i repeat, BLACK honda accord. Such as small investment for a big result.

Exhibit E:
Automobile restoration is defined in this example of a red alpha romeo convertible. The paint on this car was in its original one-stage paint state. Moreover, the rims were lookin’ better than ever (not picture).  End result?  Another happy repeat customer, literally.

Exhibit F:
This is the same red Alpha Romeo with the inside completely shampooed, taking out years of dirt, stains and fully transforming the interior into a plate clean enough to eat off of.

Exhibit G:
Do you have kids? I kid you not, the interior of this silver Honda Odyssey was the worst state I’ve ever seen, even compared to other auto detailer I’ve met throughout my career. Imagine this, one of those commercials of a vacuum, sucking up piles of nuts and bolts, but substitute those nuts and bolts with taquito bites, pretzels, bread crumbs that won’t fit the head of the wet/dry vacuum. Hard to imagine? Not really. Anyway, our Fabulous Interior Detail Package took care of this and more.

Exhibit H:
Picture walking back to your car and seeing scratches like the ones pictured below on your car. It happens. Fortunately, Google will direct you to Allure Auto Detail to get it taken care of, at home. Save both time and money (gas) by having us come to you. Most of the scratches were able to be polished out, but as you can see, even the scratches that were left on there are barely noticeable now. This is a permanent result, not a product of hiding it with Glaze, like some of the car detailers out there. It’s simple, just call us.

Exhibit I:
Did you think that only dark cars would nice after a detail by us? Absolutely not! Even white cars will look shiny and become baby smooth (like a left butt cheek or a ball of cotton). The best part about detailing white cars is that it really shows when you take out all the minor scratches on it. Over time, you’ll notice several marks on a white car, but our Signature Detail Package will restore the original luster of your paint and permanently remove those light scratches from your finger nails, trees, road debree, light tar and much much more.

Exhibit J:
The headlights can make your car look 10x better. Take this car for example. First impressions make a big difference, it’s a fact of life. See for yourself!

Exhibit K:
What a victory! I bet the value of this car just went up $500+ dollars, a massive return on investment (ROI). I wish I could do that in today’s stock market, 14%, not too shabby.

Kinda cliche, but true…Bumper to bumper, wheel to wheel, no car too big, no car too small, Allure Mobile Auto Detail does it all.

More Mobile Car Detailing photos from Allure Auto Detail in Los Angeles

Here are more photos of recent projects as promised. Fortunately, it will be raining this Sunday (March 16th). That means another day off for us. Yay!!!

Phone calls have been ringing off the hook, so if you plan to get your car detailed, make sure you set an appointment early in order to reserve a spot that is most convenient for you.

2004 Volvo XC70 This 2004 Volvo XC70 had several scratches from nearby bushes. We were able to take out most of it by polishing it out. It was also infested with tree sap. Other than that, it was slightly oxidized and needed a good polishing to give it that wet look again. Moreover, the plastic molding on this car was restored, which made a huge difference in the final aesthetic appearance of this car.

Wash Me written on back windshield of car I saw this car last night in a parking lot and just had to take a photo of it. You don’t see so many blunt cars with messages pleading for help. even pouring a cup of water on top of it would have made this car cleaner. It hurts to look at cars like this. Really!

2004 Nissan Titan2004 Nissan Titan Check out this 2004 Nissan Titan truck. There were minor scratches all around this car w/ a minor case of oxidation. The chrome was polished and the headlights were restored. Minor water spots were also taken

BMW X5BMW X5 The owner of this car was unfortunate enough to drive right by a tree exiting the freeway ramp. We color sanded the side of this car where the scratches were and removed most of the scratches except for the parts that had scratched through the clear coat. However, even the deep scratches are now hardly noticeable. I can’t even explain how happy the owner of this car was.

This Toyota Camry was restored from an old beater work car to a presentable leisure car. Now, she won’t be embarrased to take her friends out. The engine was detailed, the headlights were restored and the original luster of this car is back. Don’t take my word for it, see for yourself.

photo_030908_009.jpgphoto_030908_019.jpgphoto_030908_008.jpgphoto_030908_022.jpg For all you guys that love before and after photos, here’s another set of photos. This is a Black, yes, BLACK, Infiniti G35 which received a minor headlight restoration treatment and a really good polish. There were tons of minor scratches on this car that were removed. This car is now worthy of racing through the streets of LA.

This is proof that we do great work and not all talk! We blow away our competitors hands down without mentioning names.

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season and a blast for the new year, 2008! It will be another interesting year.

Things have been a bit slow because of the rain. However, it means more leisure time to figure out expansion strategies.

It’s been a while since we’ve been able to post on this blog. So I’ve taken some time to upload some of our latest photos. One is of a Classic Cherry Red Alpha Romeo and the other is a Newer Black Chrysler 300. There arn’t too many of those Classic Alpha Romeos around any more, but we were fortunate enough to be able to do a full Allure Signature Detail on the beauty. The results were incredible on both cars. Don’t take out word for it, see for yourself.

Check out this extremely dirty Acura Integra. This is now by far the most dirty car we’ve dealt with. Nearly every part of this car was dirty, but we love challenges and took this one down. I bet this car was carrying diseases and maybe even some STDs, it was filthy like a …

JUST IN: Mean Blue Mustang Cobra Tricked Out Ready To Race

Check out this Mustang Cobra from all angles. Never before have you seen a race car so shiny. Everything is fixed up and tricked out on this car to promote Ford’s American Muscle. Watch out imports, make sure you take off your seats, AC, spare tires, sun visors and drill holes in the chassis to keep up with this Mustang. Perhaps a Miata with an American-made aka USA made engine could tear this Mustang apart. I guess we’ll have to see.

AllureDetail.com Website Updates

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend. My turkey was a little dry this year, but there’s always next year. I still haven’t gotten a chance to try the Turducken (chicken in duck in turkey) from the Travel channel. Next year…

Those that have visited AllureDetail.com lately have seen all the changes the website has gone through. It’s been a long haul since the one-page website before. I took some time to go through the photos I had available to me and created several galleries throughout the site for your photo album fetishes. Pictures may not answer a thousand questions, but it’s worth 999 words, and best of all, it’s free. Anyway, enough with my lame jokes.

The website has now been divided into several sections, the second most popular being the mobile auto detailing “Services” section, and the first of course is the homepage. What’s interesting is the third is actually the testimonials section. I’ve added a few more services including “The Platinum Detail Package” and a few “Monthly Premier Packages. ” Moving on, I’ve added an Allure Auto Detail Shop for your DIY needs and simply to improve your daily lifestyle with class. Need soft towels? got that. Auto beauty spray? that too. And even the best keychain light on the market.

Give me some good feedback on how I can improve AllureDetail.com. Thanks for all of your support people!

Big Cars, Small Cars, Dirty Cars turned Clean Cars

What can I say, photos of 6 more shiny cars in the streets of LA. That’s less than a fraction of 1% of the dirty neglected cars out there suffering from oxidation and a nice shower. I’ve posted a few photos of us getting a sun tan (a benefit for those in the industry). Let me know what you think. Submit your comments on the website at www.AllureDetail.com or heck, email me directly jason@allureautodetail.com

Auto Detail Rush - Altima, Rav4 (Personal Fave), Z4

Insanely Stained 2002 Nissan Altima at its best. Kids, children, dennis the menaces…enough said.

Fabulous Interiored out Rav4 with 16 inch rims and 1/8th inch tread on the tires. You cant get any more low profile than that! However, the interior came out sweet, as usual and smelling like a Mercedes ML.

Z4, what can i say, natural beauty. BMW simply said, it Brings Men Women. This’ll be the lookin’ fresh for at least 3 weeks. Who needs a carwash when you got car wax…

Anyway, I love detailing cars. The best part, aside from the satisfaction of seeing an old car morph into a new car and watching a new car get newer, is the smile on the faces of my clients like the ones you see on cable TV (House Makeover, Pimp My Ride). :D

Lexus ES300 & Mercedes C320 Detailed to PURRrrrFECTION

The work of Allure Auto Detail & Mobile Car Wash Services

www.AllureDetail.com

Lexus GS300: This was probably one of the dirtiest interiors on a new car I’ve ever fully detailed. Filled with stale food crumbs (a french fry, cookie bits), crayon on the fabric upholstery, old milk splattered from the kids & much more. The front headlights were already heavily oxidized and there were several minor scratches around the vehicle. This project was the challenge of all challenges. See for your self.

Mercedes C320: Nothing much to say about this simple little car. However, it still took a lot of time to take out all of the dirt stains in the interior and decontaminate the entire exterior of the vehicle.
