Being My Own Guinea Pig.
With the recent progress on our company’s facility, we are now ready to add new services. We can now do car restoration such as car detailing, body repair, paint job, paint-less dent removal and installation of accessories.
But before we offer these services to clients, I used my own car to see if it’s already good enough for the public.
Just to give a little background about my car, I got my car on the year 2007. She was a gift from dad for my graduation. She’s a 2.0L 4×4 bluish-black 3rd generation manual transmission Suzuki Grand Vitara with quite a number of dents and scratches. She has not been detailed for more than a year now, and just enjoys home car wash. She has a magic light visor Platinum tint that was installed by the car dealer: Suzuki Kalookan. I cannot recall whether this car has been undercoated or not, I’m not very particular with cars back then. I haven’t touched anything, no setup, no pimping or whatsoever. Even my mag wheels are just 15″ stock wheels.
It’s been 3 years now and the warranty is almost over… It’s now her time to shine.
What I have done with my car so far: (in no specific order)
- Paint-less Removal. I found 28 dents on her and removed them one by one. Did it for about an hour and a half.
- Repaint. I’m planning to repaint the whole car, but the budget is still not enough for me to do it. But I have repainted 3 panels of my car – where the worst scratches are.
- New Floor Matts. Installed 3M Nomad floor matts with black and gray stripes. Complementing the interiors. I also installed custom made matts for my trunk.
- New Head Lights and Plate Lights. Replaced my fog lamps, park lights, plate lights and low beam with Xenon Bulb Super White.
- New Tints. I installed a full windshield magic black 3M tints.
- Full Detail. Had an engine detail, Interior and Exterior Detail. Used Adam’s car care products.
Upcoming..
- I’m looking for 20″ Mag Wheels. A new shoe for her.
- Full Repaint
- Paint Treatment
Don’t get me wrong. I’m not doing these things just for the sake of pimping my ride. As the title states “Being My Own Guinea Pig,” I’m doing these for the company. If we did a good job, it’s me should experience it first so that I’ll be more confident it marketing our services. If we did a bad job, well, the more I should be the first to experience it so that I can correct it and solve the problem.
