    Default CHADBEE PHOTOGRAPHY: Mirror Detailing Video Feature

    This past weekend I had my Z detailed by Mirror Detailing and decided to play around with my new Nikon D800 during the process. I have been getting into video work a little more over the past months and this one came out pretty decent.

    .....oh yeah and my car looks absolutely incredible. I'm amazed of how nice my almost 10 year old paint is now. If anybody in Georgia needs somebody that is very skilled in the art of high end detailing and paint correction hit up Mike over at Mirror Detailing, that guy is very good at what he does.

    Enjoy the video and let me know what you think!

    ***PLEASE WATCH IN HD***

    Love the video and it looks like he does awesome work. You can definitely tell the work put into it.

    I love how clay bar can completely change the finish on a car. I use it on half of car at work, like brand new cars, just to see the reaction of the customers as they walk by lol.

    Great video!

    And remember to clean your computer screen before watching, lol.


    That's awesome work. The Nismo catback sounds perfect, just in case you haven't heard it drive away in person before.

    Clay bar did nothing for the finish of this vehicle. I barely pulled anything off the surface while we were doing this. If your making cars look brand new by just claying them...you have a magic clay bar.

    This one was not a real job. I did a mix of everything. Most in depth jobs average around 15 hours. But can be longer, as the truck I just finished about 30 minutes ago, I will have 40 man hours into.

    This man has a lot of backing around these forums. I can see why. Every shred of evidence I have seen points to the fact that this guy is extremely good. Hmm... he must be some kind of detailing sorcerer...

    Well, despite my aversion to sorcery, I am going to have to put some coins together and pay this man a visit sometime this summer.

    So sick guys..Chad, your skills for just "screwing around" with a new camera are insane...I'm still trying to learn how to use our 70D...nice job man.

    Mike...your skills are insane. I swear, you and Joey are the best of the best. I didn't know what a really quality detail was until I met Joey. What he did to the Vette was insane!

    People- for real...take your car to Mirror...it will love you for it!

    Great vid chad!

    For anyone who doesnt know, mike does great work like said above, wont stop until he is happy with it which may be long after the client is happy. While detailing may be a job for some, this is Mike's passion.

    Rut doesn't have a CVCC, my good friend. If you're talking about his wagon, that is. That bad ass piece of machinery is just simply a 1983 Honda Civic Wagon. Honda dropped the CVCC moniker in 1979 so no Civic made from 1980 on had CVCC attached to the name.

    Oh, and I think you should shoot both of our cars together, dammit! I know mine isn't up to your level now, though, lolol. Later, QD.

    Ah! Got yah, I'm not very knowledgeable about anything Honda pre-EF or post-EK styles. If yours had a B/K series and was more modified instead of resto then I would talk to my editor about it as well....but I know that isn't your thing.

    I hate wet shine as well....which is why i put a matte shine on there. Doesnt look wet, drys up and gives the tire and nice black matte rubber look too them.
