Here is another Black car in dire need of correction coming to the Gloss-it facility in Vegas.

Typical batch of light RIDS, and buffer trails along with a suprising amount of fall-out which needed abrading with clay.

WASH: GI ph neutral soap
CLAY: GI fine grade clay
WHEELS: GI wheel gel
TIRES: GI signature tire dressing
INTERIOR: GI interior cleaner & leather polish to dress leather

CORRECTION: GI extreme cut w/wool & EVP pad prime
POLISH: GI evolution polish w/medium polishing foam pad & EVP
FINE POLISH: GI beta finish polish w/100 ppi foam finishing pad
continued low rpm jewelling with beta
LSP: GI signature sealant applied w/cyclo followed w/concorso w/cyclo as well

Pre wash inspection shots in the sun

After the correction

Plenty of carbonfiber(tightness)

Giant brakes!!

OMG,
Amazing work! That car is unbelievable! I saw it at the auto show sitting next to a roped off and guarded SLR. No way around it.... this car looked so much better and the POWER!!!!!!

Phil I hear you, an HRE P-43 or C-20 in textured black on this car= $$$$$$$. Another save by Rich and his crew as this car was the typical dealership prep and for a car this exspensive $300,000.00 plus by the time the dust clears it is amazing they let the car out the door this way.

Get back to it this Thursday after a long layoff, although I did a Lexus LS460 L last Friday(the one day it did not rain in almost a week and a half) it figured the first car back would be a BIG sedan, but the car was silver and was not a good before and after write up candidate.

First four cars on the line up are BMW Z8, 599, audi R8, 430 coupe. Pics to follow.
