Bugatti maintenance detail

I would like to say this car needed massive correction blah,blah,blah, just maintenance was needed and I thought you guys would enjoy the car as it is an engineering marvel.


WASH:P&S citrus hand wash
CLAY:no clay needed
TRIM: GI trv
WHEELS: GI wheel gel
TIRES: P&S natural finish tire dressing
EXSAUST: CG extreme metal shine

POLISH: GI evolution cut w/flex da GI blue foam pad
GLAZE: cg extreme acrylic glaze w/flex GI blue foam pad
LSP: GI signature sealant followed by GI concorso w/flex and lc 100 ppi foam pad yellow


getting started








Stripping the rubber clean for the dressing











Using cg acrylic on the glass inside and out makes a big difference





Badge denoting the build date to USA 1 of 15








16 cylinders 4 turbo's what else can be said?





Interior shots








Final shots not outside as it was raining, love making money even in the rain








Before and after of the exsaust

Nice wet pop in the afters.

I like looking at the easy jobs too, not every detail has to be a 50 hour marathon, right?

Re: Bugatti maintenance detail

Very nice work indeed! I have to admit I wouldn't have know what kind of car that was if you hadn't told us.

How are you using Tarminator on tires? Spray it on and wipe off? Do you let it dwell or agitate it with a brush or anything?

I spray it on a terrycloth rag and wipe the tire real good to remove old dressing,dirt etc.....

Exactly Scott, this job was quick and most importantly profitable but by no means a gouge to my customer.

Re: Bugatti maintenance detail

I'd be scared to wipe a microfiber over that thing... much less put a polisher on it! Thanks for letting us see the world through your eyes (or at least your camera lens)

Re: Bugatti maintenance detail

Nice work and nice car.

Great job, too bad it was raining though, I know that thing would really pop in the sunlight.

I've got a few maintaince jobs to post up too, think I'll post them some day.....

Not to sound jaded but it is a car.... well a 1.75 million dollar car (lol) I work with a speed that it's not to fast and careless, but conversly I am not scared of the car either(note: I did have to call my insurance agent yesterday and tell him what was on the schedule for today).

What drama, I agree with Scott that a easy one is nice for a change.

Re: Bugatti maintenance detail

I have heard the tarminator trick about tires, im anxious to try it out. To be honest i have some tar inside of my wheels...would you recommend Tarminator for that? I have heard rave reviews and horror stories, so as a consumer im very confused What uses do you have for it sir?
