The days are getting shorter, the holidays are around the corner, and I am getting really busy doing winter prep details. Since so many of you are calling to have your cars done, I wanted to follow in the footsteps of so many other vendors and tuners and pay it forward for the less fortunate.

For the next 4 weeks or so, I will be discounting and donating a portion of the winter prep detail in your forum name to the St Judes Children's Hospital. The winter prep detail includes:

Hand Wash
Chemical Clean and Polish
Sealant or Wax
Wheel Sealant
UV Tire Protectant
Dashboard, Doors and Seats treated with UV Protectant/Condtioner

The cost is $150 (usually $175), $20 will be donated to St Judes, and the work can be performed at your location, or mine, whichever is easier for you. This special applies to any car, not just your Corvette. The special does not include SUVs, MiniVans, or Trucks. Travel is limited to the LI area only.

Here are some of the forum members cars I have done:

A Before and After

 

One of the odd things I found with having this detailing done was that the car didnt allow dirt to stick to it after it had the polymer treatments. It seems the things that normally stick to the car would then only act as a dust and blow off the car without wiping it. Since the car was first detailed the frequency of my washes fell from nearly daily to monthly and people always ask if the car was just washed. I think to myself that it has been weeks since it was detailed and delivered to my new colorado home and I wash when it gets dirty. So far that hasnt been the case....Its been nearly 3 months.

So for anyone thinking this is just a glorified wash and wax, it isnt. Waxes flake off starting the day you put it on and a polymer bonds to the paint. Some of the products are Zaino but others are more exotic. I was there for the the first detail job which took 4 1/2 hours and the guy was having quite the workout. Once I saw it done, I knew what he does cant be duplicated unless you have the machine he uses (professional application buffing wheel...ect) and if used wrong it would go through the paint. Like I said, you cant do this yourself. If you have dead paint with swirl marks (look like little spider webs in the paint in sunlight) it will look pretty much brand new when its done. Any scratches that are able to be removed will be. They are measured and if they arent through, they wont be there when you come back.

Like I said it isnt some glorified wash and wax. For the compounding alone its a great price and since St Judes is in the equation, you may as well help out while getting the best deal you can on this work.

 

Wow, wish you could find it in your heart to make a "trek" to South Ozone Park Queens, right off the Belt Parkway, 5 minutes from JFK airport as I'd love to have mine done while I'm at work. The car's in the pictures look awesome!!!

 

I'm definitely down for that!! What's the address to your shop? Do you have a number where you have to make an appointment?

 

Keep up the good work!

Beautiful work!

Can you polish "hazy" aluminum rims??
We're in Brooklyn, can we come to you??

 

I'm in. How do I set up an appointment?

 

Craig has done my car & Ellens car(c5chick). Simply amazing work & super clean. Craig has done all of our cars here in long island. He is the only guy that you can trust with your car.I will be calling him again to do my car before storage.Here is what he has done for me.I recommend his work highly.




Ellens car

 

I saw him yesterday detailing a 4 door amazing work. I am next as soon as I get my ride back..

 

Craig
You have one heck of a good heart ,thats wonderful that You donate a portion to St Jude's. My car still glows like a ruby from your last amazing job, I still need sun glasses when I walk in the garage Ill give You a call

 

What is your companys name, and how long of a wait?

 

It's been a while, but I've seen Craig's car and it was amazing. This looks like a great deal for someone looking to have an incredible detail job done on their car. I am very particular, and I wouldn't hesitate to have him do my car.

 

This is a sick deal, When Craig did my C6 I saw flake in the paint I never knew was there ! I am not kidding when I saw this would be a deal at twice the price Craigster, I will call you tomorrow

 

heres my C5 when he did it

 

Hey Alex, sent you info in a PM. Thanks!

It depends on the rims. If they are clear coated, polished aluminum, no sorry. Id have to see them up close to know for sure. You can come out to the shop, but it is in Pt Jefferson, which would be quite a ride...although I've had people come down form CT on the ferry and have lunch and walk around the village while I work on their cars.

Check your PM.

Depending on your availability, I have openings scattered across the next two weeks. I sent you my contact info.

 

I am in , and also getting an inspection done, great deal craig seems like a great guy, cant wait to see the final product

 

I've seen Craig's work and its stunning. Can't ask for a better detail or a better guy.

Lets hope so, because the wife is flipping right now, giving me the what i can do with that money routine

 

Thank you for all the support, compliments and phone calls...it's been overwhelming! I'm sorry I didn't have the time to get back to everyone today. If you didn't hear from me, I will be back in touch by tomorrow. I was caught up doing a detail today on a Lexus that was bought in Aug of 2007 and hasn't been washed or cleaned since. Well, 6 hours later, we have a new car again....sorry the pics are a little dingy...the sun wasn't cooperating today...the car is a beautiful white pearl color that clouds just don't show.

Some befores and afters:



























Armpit and deodorant stains....nice...









Finally, something you are proud to sit in again...
