'06 BMW 550 & a Crossfire
This is the third detail on this car. The owner washes it regularly so it stays in pretty good shape.

wash
clay (sap)
ohc/HTEC orange pad rotary/1500rpm (trunk)
ohc orange pad pc speed 6
fk1 2180 - getting it ready for the winter
CG's Carnauba
ocw
CG's synthetic QD
#16 on wheels
Grape dressing on tires









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

I detail this car 3 times a year, although it is very rarely driven.

this was a wash & wax only. (car is in mint condition )

ONR
OCW
Grape dressing on tires X 3! for some reason the tires were soaking the dressing up like crazy.

How did this finish down? Good enough to go straight to a LSP?

Ohh yes. I love Optimum polishes.

Awesome, I'll be trying out my new OHC with a LC orange pad on my next polish detail. It all looks great!

You can always follow up ohc with a white pad for an even better looking finish. Post pictures!

No outside shots of the Crossfire?

Both look really good, that BMW's paint looks especially wet.

Sorry Scott - I have never seen this car outside. It is the same garage where I detail the carbon black M3, which I have seen 4 times in over a year and worked on every week since new except 5 times.

Nice work. Espeically like the BMW pics, that show off an excellent wet looking finish on that car.

Thanks man - truth be told, the sides only have #2180. Horizontals have the extreme carnauba on top of 2180.
