[Events@Ptuning]

Just Reposting so everyone can take a look at all the Shiny Cars


A Quote from Detailers Domain:

Thank you all for participating in this Group Buy!
Great meeting you all.

I want to also give a Big Thanks to @ptuningfor hosting us as well as Sapan for organizing this event!

A couple of months ago I received a phone call from Sapan a very good customer of Detailer's Domain. Our first meeting was about 2 years ago, Sapan drove up from VA en route to get his car modded. We had his car for 2 days for the royal treatment. Since then Sapan picked up a new FRS, however time constraints made it hard for him to make the trip up to us.

We were able to put a nice package together for him and he decided to push it out there to friends and forum members to take advantage of. Thru his hard work he was able to secure 10 exterior only plus Opti Coat jobs for us. He also managed to have Mike and Mr. C at P Tuning in Manassas, VA to host the event. Mike and @Mrc@ptuning were great host and have a very impressive facility, if you are in the area go check it out!

To get the job done I enlisted our team plus some help from Dave at Street Dreams Detail and Gianni our very own forum moderator on DB, as well as Franki Li.

The job was to be done in 2 days. A very tall order but we somehow were able to accomplish this with all parties being happy with the final results.

Take a look and I hope you enjoy this write up.

Full of beautiful detailing pics.

My car looked better than new after this and better than when that other detailer applied Opti-Coat. Lots of high spots that DD fixed for me.

Would love to organize one of these events again sometime, maybe 8 cars
