    Like I said on FB, it looks like a high end lounge! I'd be scared to dirty anything there.

    Thank you for the comments.

    We are happy to finally open it, it has been a long 6 months getting this place ready.


    We wanted a different look and feel in the whole place, the boutique was setup with a bar look in mind, and the studio more of an operating room. The studio is actually very easy to clean, the floor is a 5 part hybrid epoxy/poly urethane that is extremely tough and easy to clean. The walls are PVC and actually attract dust, so we simply put QD on a dry mop and wipe the walls. The ceiling tiles in the clean room and studio are "clean room" tiles that you would find in a server room to minimize dust. All bays are sloped and have hot/cold/filtered water available so we wash by the doors and advance forward once dried. We also have a separate room called the "dirty room" so we can do dirtier work isolated from the rest of the studio, it can also be another clean room or car storage area for a completed car if we need the space.

    LOL, no not the usual dirty cars so far. We do mostly specialty detailing or restorative, most cars are 12-30 hr corrective polishing/details.

    Definately come by sometime and we can have a Martini in the customer lounge(after hours ofcourse)

    Note: the customer lounge picture, Martini and car themed ;) ;)

    Congratulations on opening! Unfortunately I can't access FB since China likes to block stuff. I'll have to swing by when I get back into Edmonton.

    Is there going to be a grand opening sale?

    I would of put a few t.v's in the showroom to display prices, details, services, etc. Possibly even one t.v for customers to access your website in the showroom/waiting room or just watch t.v in general in the waiting room.

    Everytime I drive by the EDM location I see the same black Acura Integra outside with zero customers. Looks like money isn't made selling products in Edmonton and most likely Alberta in general. Nobody cares for detailing products up here the common Joe prefers and always will just go to the local Canadian Tire, Wal-Mart, Parts Source, etc. And most the guys who are interested in detailing products can just source online for cheaper. I don't see the average person even getting their cars detailed here for $100/hr since all Facebook pics are cars over 100K+, and don't know how a business can just relies on those cars when Edmonton has very few of them.
