Got_Leather's Afters Thread - bunch of cars

I don't post all the cars I do because lets face it, not everyone cares about a $250 detail on here really. Well I'm gonna post a few random afters of some cars where I didn't make it's own thread.

I will post before each car what that car received.

Honda Accord -

Clay
OP via white pad @ 1500-1200 RPM
ZAIO via black pad PC @ speed 5
Zaino Z5 pro x2 via black pad PC @ speed 4
Z6 between coats
Z8 wipe down





Same owner of the Honda but wanted a deep polishing to remove defects. BOTH interiors were vacuumed, steamed and leather conditioned with Z10

BMW 740iL -

Wash via Dawn
Clay
Hi-Temp Extreme Cut via orange pad @ 1200-1700-1200 RPM

Mazda Speed 6 Turbo - one of the best stock colors I have seen.

They look great, however the Porsche is a Boxster, not a Carrera

Re: Got_Leather's Afters Thread - bunch of cars

Great work, I *love* that first picture of the G35. What camera/settings did you use to capture it like that?

Camera is just a Point and Shoot Sony Digital. Takes decent pictures.

Re: Got_Leather's Afters Thread - bunch of cars

I notice you always apply opti-seal after the poli-seal. As an AIO, does the poli-seal not offer much durability? Those cars look amazing by the way!

Also, I assume you prefer the Hi-Temp Cut instead of Optimum Compound since that's what you seem to use?
