$3mil of cars Superior Detailed

This past Tuesday I was contacted by a regular client of mine in the Metro Detroit / Ann Arbor Area to detail his Porsche Gemballa Carrerra GT, Ferrari F430, Rolls Royce 100EX, Champion 911 Turbo, and Rentech SL600. There was also supposed to be a Lamborghini LP460 but we ended up missing out on that one. The CGT was by far my favorite. Absolute sex on wheels. I don't think I've ever been more in love with a car, except maybe when I did his first CGT a few years ago, but that has since been sold. The customer floor plans an exotic car dealership in Florida so he always has new cars coming and going. The RR he just bought the beginning of this year and he is already selling that to a gentlemen in Taiwan. All these cars are being sold in the upcoming weeks to make room for his 599GT, Aston Martin, SL65, and more that he couldn't remember. I sure do wish I was so filthy rich I couldn't remember what super cars where being delivered to me soon, HA!

At just over a million dollars alone, I can't expect to be driving one anytime soon; other than in my dreams! More info on the Gemballa CGT Special Edition can be found here GEMBALLA - Porsche Tuning at its finest .

Process was as follows:

Body/Jambs cleaned with MF and Optimum QD.
RR Waxed with P21S.
Wheels cleaned with MF and Meg's APC.
Tires Dressed with Automagic's XP Cool Blue and tire swipe.
Windows cleaned with MF and Meg's Glass Cleaner.
Interior wiped down with APC/Glass Cleaner.
Tips polished with Meg's All Metal Polysh.
Sprayed down with Optimum Spray Wax.

Here was our workspace:

The client wanted me to take pics so he could list it for sale, the Renntech SL600 was up first.

Last but not least, the F430.

















Wish this one came out better, a reflection of the 430 in the RR100EX.

Re: $3mil of cars Superior Detailed

Cars weren't dirty enough to warrant a wash, they really weren't dirty at all just barely dusty. When working on cars with this price tag, the less you can screw up the better so that's why I opted to just do a wipe down with the QD, not to mention faster. All cars could have used a very light finishing polish, but the owner basically has them all sold so there's really no point in doing that now. The Renntech SL600 and F430 were moderately swirled up, and the SL had some dealer induced halo's. The RR I polished in the beginning of the year but it still could have used a quick polish on the PC, despite only been washed by me 4 times using two buckets, two mitts, foam cannon, and gritguards in each bucket. I think the owner is sneaking in some washed in between service. Thanks for looking and any questions or comments let me know!
