Talking Been a while for me! A few cars! 56K no way

First up is a 06 (I think) Porsche that was recently purchased. The owner wanted the paint to be corrected, the interior cleaned, and quite a few areas covered with paint protection film.

Here’s what I was dealing with:


The car had mainly minor marring with a few deeper RIDS here and there—there was also quite a bit of water-spotting.

We used the following to correct the paint:
Meguiars #105 via flex, speed 6/orange pad
Menzerna PO106FF G100 speed 6/LC LP white pad
Meguiars #16
OCW
We also used ONR to wash the car after #105

We removed the rear taillights in order to tuck in the paint protection film—full rear was protected!


Here is a shot of the front fender—we covered the full front fenders in clear bra!




Front bumper, lights, fogs, and 22” up the hood are all covered in paint protection film,

Re: Been a while for me! A few cars! 56K no way

This BMW needed full correction inside and out—sorry no befores, but it was *hammered*!

We used 105/rotary wool
SIP rotary green pad/1500
FPII G110 spped 6/LC LP white
M21

We sued ONR in between steps





Here is a black Mustang GT that we did—really cool car. The owner has basically converted the exterior to look like a GT500.

We used 105/flex/orange pad
106FF G110/spped 6/white LC LP pad
M21

Again we used ONR between steps

Before:

This 09 Max was actually only washed once by the dealer and they did a pretty good job. We just cleaned up the minor marring (believe it or not) with PO106FF and sealed it with Collinite 476s.










He asked for a sticker!

Nice, I love the looks of those new Maximas.

I'm guessing people in Memphis like big rims, eh?
