Souveran'ed M Roadster, Z06, + '04 TL and '04 Tahoe

1999 BMW M Roadster-probably the last detail on this one unless whoever buys it is local. He just wanted it cleaned up since he is probably going to take the highest offer he got for it on Ebay. Wiped down the interior and hit it with Optimum Protectant Plus and the paint got Pinnacle Souveran by hand.

2006 Chevy Corvette Z06. Polished with Werkstatt's Carnauba Prime and topped with Poorboy's Natty's Blue about 7 weeks ago, this time I gave it an Optimum No Rinse wash and waxed it with Pinnacle Souveran-really gave it a nice liquid shimmer!

Great work Scott, Souveran looks awesome on that yellow Z06, did you get to take it for a spin?

Black looks very deep and wet as well

2004 Chevy Tahoe. First time I have seen this one, owned by a friend of a customer of mine. Really excellent shape, inside and out. I took out the scuff marks at the bottom of the door jambs with Meguiars #80 by hand but the rest only needed Werkstatt's Prime using white Cyclo finishing pads. Sealed with Acrylic Jett. Chrome was polished with Clearkote's Vanilla Moose.

This is after polishing with Prime:



After topping with Acrylic Jett. I believe the additional depth and gloss shows in this pic.



Finished shots:









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

2004 Acura TL. I see this one 2-3 times a year. Excellent shape overall, had to polish some spots off the front end using Meguiars DACP and green Cyclo polishing pads, then used the same process on it as I did the above Tahoe.

I got a ride in the Z06 when he first got it (he gave my older son a ride too) and DAMN! is it fast! The acceleration is best described as 'brutal'.

tdekany-I had polished it with Menzerna 106FF/Clearkote RMG mix this past spring and used the Werkstatt twins on it at that time and a follow up of Trigger in early June. The paint was still in superb condition.

Beason-agreed, but it isn't my car.

The BMW looks great, someone will be happy when they get it.

Nice gloss on the Z06.

You're cars look great Scott, as always... but also, as always, your pictures are a little overexposed. No offense, just constructive criticism.

That M really looks great Scott - there's just no replacement for Souveran.

Your work's got me sold on AJ's system too, when I run out of AIO there is definetly a bottle of Prime Strong in my future.
