Hello All, Mike here. This past weekend I had the honor to go to Vegas and detail + opti coat another Firestorm FR-S. Unfortunately I was pressed for time and I wasn't able to take as many pictures as I normally would like. (I wanted to start polishing as soon as I can before the temperature reaches triple digits). I did however, get some before and after shots of his car.

Before:
There was definitely signs of improper care here.

After I stripped whatever glaze/protection dealer had applied, I discovered this mess, this was evident through out the entire car:

That's all folks! Thanks for looking everyone!

 

cleaned/dressed tires would have finished it off properly

and, clean the windows, even if the customer didnt pay for it

however, nice job

 

Looks good! How do you deal with heat/sun, when polishing/sealing/waxing? Do you just look for shade?

 

Looks great.

 

As always, that looks flawless

 

Thanks, and the customer took pity on me and said he'll do that when he gets home lol. (We were using his brother's garage)
I suck it up and polish in triple digit heat, lol.
Thanks!
Thank you!

 

holy crap u went all the way out there for a job. Musta paid well! lol

 

Wow! Then I guess the heat doesn't have any ill effect on the products or the outcome?

 

It paid well, plus wifey wanted a mini vacation lol.
Nope, none at all. I was surprised as well.

 

SICK SICK WORK mang...!!!

 

Thats Awesome! To think I've been afraid to detail in the sun all this time. Full speed ahead yo!

 

Thanks Swoosh!
Well don't do it in the sun now. I did it in the garage man lol

Love the color!

 

 

Nice work as always Mike!
