Black Plymouth Prowler, BMW 750iL, Buick Park Avenue, Ford F-250

2002 Buick Park Avenue. Pretty decent shape, only 12,000 miles on it. Very minimal swirling so I hit it with Optimum Polish using a white LC polishing pad, buffed off with Optimum Car Wax and then added another layer of OCW.











=============

2006 BMW 750Li. Regular weekly wash customer, probably could use some light polishing but the road in front of his house is still under constuction and probably will be for another couple of months, so he'd prefer to wait until then for anything beyond protection right now. I used Werkstatt's Acrylic Jett Trigger by hand. Both the owner and I were very pleased with the noticable increase in gloss, wetness and depth.

2002 Plymouth Prowler. First one I have done. A little under 10,000 miles, mostly a weekend toy. Very light swirls so I started with Menzerna 106FF/Clearkote Red Machine Glaze combo using a white LC polishing pad. I buffed off with Quikshine which helped remove the light dusting from polishing and the grass from the lawn crew in the neighborhood. I then sealed with Optimum Car Wax and topped with Pinnacle Souveran.

2006 Ford F-250. Just needed some protection this time. Werkstatt's Prime with a blue Propel polishing pad and Acrylic Jett Trigger by hand.

A black Prowler was one of the first cars I detailed at an "Autopian" level. Brings back memories. What I found very funny is the doors had absolutely no orange peel but the rest of the car had a slight amount. And I know the car wasnt previously repainted.

Did you notice that with the Prowler you had Scott? Its also pretty hard to polish the painted front fenders between the wheels isnt it!!! Great job on all of them!!

This one had practically glass flat paint on the hood and back end and noticably orange peel on the doors.

Yeah, the PC barely fits between those front wheels and the front fenders.

Exceptional job. It looks great.

Lol, I just looked through Sean's latest post, and now this, and I'm blown away - you guys just make me want to go and detail. Some of those pictures of the Prowler are just pure art.

Wow, that Prowler is incredible! And, the others looks great too!

Works of art, they are.
