2009 C63 and 2008 C4S...

Lately I've had no time to post photos from details but these two cars were an exception... both C63 and C4S belong to a member of 6speedonline and were done in the same day with a light 1-step polish and protection with KSG... both were in great shape, to my surprise, and came out perfect... anyway, photos:

Porsche...

Yea I was telling the owner I'm usually allergic to MB haha as I'm obsessed with BMWs but this one was something else

I used 106ff on Meg's G110 and LC 4" white pads... most of the cars got just 1 pass but certain areas I went over two times... cars were in great shape to start with as far as swirls go but claying helped a lot in bringing out the gloss of the paint.

Which you-tube video? I tried to do many a month or two ago but a lot of stuff came up in life that detailing took a little time-out... hopefully I'm back in the game very soon

Thanks.

It was the one of you using PFW and IP. It was a great vid. Thanks for putting it together.

Great job what did you use of the tires, I like the natural finish on them.

Soap and water haha... the tires were pretty much new so I just washed them well and left them alone... I've stopped applying tire dressings as much as I used to because I've noticed dressings only attract more dirt and since many of my clients don't come for weekly washes, or even monthly, they end up with dirtier tires from one polishing to the next... if you wash the tires regularly with soap and a brush they'll stay looking new for a while...

Thanks. I only use KAIO if I'm doing a 1-step on some oxidized or faded paint... when I do a claybar and polish (which ever brand) I don't do AIO before SG... I do the ipa wipedown before SG though every time
