After pic 1,2,3 you can still see the scratch under the camera. The only reason I couldn't remove it because it was just too deep. I didn't want to risk removing all the clear coat, it not noticeable unless you know its there. The other lighter scratches were removed without a problem. It beats paying 500+ to get a door repainted.

Yesterday I was over my friend house to work on two s2k. When I got there and inspected the car, it was very dirty from all the snow and salt. They told me the last time they washed it was in November.

I started by doing a power wash to remove most of the salt/grime. I first started with the wheels and well with Meg super degreaser. Then did traditional Meg Go Gold Class two bucket wash with grit guard. Used 303 on the soft top. After the wash I used leaf blower to get all the water out of crevices.

Then I brought the car inside and and started claying the car. Since the car last clayed was in November, the white showed a lot of grim. It took me about 1.5-2 hours to clay the car using DP clay. When finishing claying the car was free from any grime, It was very clean and the surface was smooth. I then started to apply 845 on the car and lens.

Some before pics.

You can only edit a post for up to 15 minutes after you originally post it. If you pass 15 minutes, posts cannot be edited.

looks good. if you're doing an exterior detail, you should consider taking off the plates to access the grime/dirt under it, makes polishing a breeze too.

Today I removed badges off my car, to give it a more clean look.
Removing the adhesive stuff was a bitch, took me about 1.5 hours to get rid of it.
Will get better pics tomorrow.

As I was power washing under the car before, the UPS guy dropped off the foam cannon!!!
I was testing with Meg gold class wash and first time there wasn't much foam at all. I added more soap and it was better.


Here are a few pics to show you an idea of how it works.




















Enjoy guys!

i think its the dilution ratio, or maybe its your pressure washer.. I was never a big fan of the karchers since the gallons per minute is low.

Just detail my car today. Took about 4 hours did an in and out. I waxed the car about two week ago with 845. The car needed a boost so I just spray waxed it. Window were all treated with Invisible Glass. All door jams were wiped and vacuumed everything inside.

Using Foam cannon.



After pics.

Here a TL I did last Sunday. I started early around 9:30 hoping to finish it before it get dark. I did a foam wash, two bucket, clay, wax, cleaned outside window with Invisible glass repel, inside with Invisible glass. I also wet sanded a few scratches and compounded. Vacuumed everything inside and brushed out any dust on dashboard, cleaned everything inside with apc. Clean all wheels/tires/wells. Then finish it off with tire dressing.

My TL

That's my TL in those pictures.

One thing says it all about the work that Gary does.

He started at 9:30am. He finished at 7:30pm. On a Sunday! He takes extreme pride in his work and treats the vehicle as if it's his own!

The detailing that he performed is absolutely impeccable. I had neighbors come over and admire his work and some even took his number.

He takes care of every miniscule detail no matter how long it takes.

It was cloudy out yesterday and it's still cloudy out today but my car looks better than it ever has. I can't wait to see what it looks like in full sunlight.

I have found a detailer that I can trust and I know will not cut corners, like most others do to earn a buck!

Oh yeah, he also travels to you. You aren't gonna find a detailer who does that coupled with perfect detailing, guaranteed!
