Liquid Finish Detailing Story

A brief detailing adventure by Brandon Woo

Beginner & Enthusiast Detailer

In October 2000 my family took special delivery of a 2001 330Xi Silver BMW that would be my car obsession. Natural curiosity led me into the world of Detailing: Autopia.org, Detailcity.com (Now AutopiaForums.com), and DetailingBliss.com. Klasse, Zaino, Pakshak, Poorboy’s World, Ultimate Paint Protection, Optimum, Blackfire, Pinnacle, Menzerna, P21S, Ultima, and Lake Country would be the beginning of money loss. My foundations of detailing developed from endless product reviews, trials, durability debates, smell tests, slickness comparisons, and the importance of proper paint preparation. I learned initially the art of detailing is more of an obsession of technique, skill, and learning cutting edge knowledge. Products and brands are just tools, ineffective without proper expertise.

Training & Progress

In 2005 I attended a NC Meguiar’s Buffing Class at IGONC led by Dwayne Pfeiffer. Progressing further into professional detailing drew me in 2008 to attend Kleen Car Auto Appearances: a specialty school that teaches solid industry knowledge, the use of world famous Optimum Polymer Technologies, and the certification of BMW North America. I started to push progressive detailing practices: eco – friendly vapor steam technology, ceramic coatings, advanced paint correction techniques, and many other unorthodox tricks.

I love to do demo days and one on one training classes with car lovers. GlossHaus in 2009.

In January 2013 I was lucky to get into a class led by Barry Theal of Presidential Details / 3D Products of Manheim / Americana Car Care & the world famous Jose Fernandez of Superior Shine. Besides color sanding, paint correction, and advanced buffing, it was refreshing to become networked with some of the best detailers in the business.

Today

Today LF protects, corrects, and perfects daily driven vehicles for discerning clientele. Detailing is a sickness, our clients believe in “serious” detailing. I always stay humble and develop services that fit into a specialty niche. Most important, I want clients that are happy who save money, get great results, and enjoy a clean car. Trust is the most important aspect, so I try to educate everyone. Liquid Finish is not perfect, but it will continually strive to be the best.

After 19 years, thank you dirty 330xi for sparking our cleaning madness.

Brandon has now helped with two of my vehicles. He is very knowledgeable and always takes time to explain his process. I look forward to working with you again in the future.

Brandon explained exactly what he was going to do....exactly what he may not be able to do...and exactly what I needed to do when I received the vehicle back. His attention to detail is impeccable and his drive for perfection shows in his work. Super pleased and will be recommending him to others.

Brandon has detailed and coated multiple cars for me over the last 10 years or so, and each time is even better than the last. And his thoroughness and commitment to excellence is no different whether it's a Porsche or a Toyota! Can't recommend him enough!

Brandon Woo is a man of his craft. I brought my Lexus to his business to be ceramic coated and paint correction detailed. He was honest and trust worthy. His attention to detail and patience explaining to me everything he was doing. I was beyond pleased with the result and will be a loyal customer moving forward with my other cars.

I have a 2011 black Mercedes. I did not recognize it when I returned to pick up the car. Brandon did an excellent job!

I cannot recommend Brandon enough. I brought him a used, 2019 Honda CRV that I recently purchased for my wife. The vehicle had not been garaged by the prior owner. Brandon brought the paint back to life and treated it like he would have a luxury car! He made great suggestions, pointed out everything to me, and made sure I was satisfied. He has a great eye for detail and was a pleasure to work with. Professionalism and customer service seem to be going by the wayside these days but Brandon exudes both. Thank you for the excellent experience Brandon! So worth the money!

I brought my truck here after talking to several other detailers in the area about ceramic coating, Brandon seemed to have the highest attention to detail, best process, and I was confident I would get the best results. I was extremely impressed with the level of service and results I received. Brandon is a professional, doing professional services using high quality products and techniques. He took the time with me to understand my situation and recommend what he thought would be best for me. Even after the service he has been responsive with aftercare recommendations. I can't recommend him enough for those who have an eye for detail and want to keep their vehicles in the best condition possible.

Brandon came recommended from a friend of mine and I have to say, he was right! I have an ‘87 Porsche Targa and Brandon gave it a complete clean, detail and preservative ceramic treatment that brought the color back to life. Oxidation is gone and I can now go in maintenance mode to keep it that way.

Brandon did an outstanding job. He cleaned, removed some blemishes and minor scratches; ceramic coated virtually everything. The end result was about as close to perfect as I have ever seen . Very happy customer. I highly recommend Liquid Finish Detailing to anyone looking for next level detailing and paint protection.

Brandon is the quintessential auto detail professional, “obsessive-compulsive.” He applied a ceramic coating on the paint and glass of my 2023 BMW i4 M50. Immaculate! Hard to find where the surface of the paint begins! I’m very happy with the results. Highly recommended!
