Recent details - Corolla, Acura coupe, Z4

Unfortunately, all inside shots, but what matters is that I am working.

ONR
clay
EC/yellow pad 1500-1700 rpm on some trouble spots.
OC orange pad pc 6 to deep clean the paint
106pp pc 6 black finishing pad to kick it up a notch!
CG extreme sealant 3x carnauba to protect
FK1 #108 on tires







After this detail I was asked to spend 90 minutes (paint) on this neglected Acura. Terrible repaint all over, some SS paint some cleared

onr
clay
New OHC pc 6 prange pad to clean the paint
CG Liquid Carnauba to make it look better.
FK1 #108 on tires
