The S 80 first

vacuum
wipe down
windows

qew
poli seal
Zaino CS
NL on tires
Grape dressing on top of nl
GD on trim

Just one after picture.

Re: Z6 Black Vette & Volvo S80

This Z6 belongs to my client's friend who was kind enough to let us use his electricity and water all day.

I was told that the Vette was going to be in great shape since the car gets detailed regularly. The objective was to kick it up a notch (or 2) Remember that I had only limited time so the car is not 100% swirl free. I would have nedded another 60 to 90 minutes for that. What ever didn't come out in 2 passes stayed. 10% I'd say.

PS: The Lexus was washed clayed and poli Sealed. Interior was vacuumed wiped and windows cleaned. No pictures.

I also did some wetsanding on my customer's MB C240. He found a misterious scratch on the hood.
===================================================

This is what was waiting for me. It was just after 7am and didn't have the opportunity to move the car for more befores.



Process
qew
clay
sip rotary/pc orange lc pad
Ez Creme
Opti Seal
Grape Dressing on tires

After

Re: Z6 Black Vette & Volvo S80

PS: We also did a quicky on that E320 in the background. I only worked on the interior, while Chris (my client) did the exterior. qew/clay/CG extreme top coat to protect. NL on tires

Looks like the bra is on wrong too. There should not be aany wrinkles on the side.

Paint looks nice though.

Sorry Chris.

I was trying to show off the paint and didn't think about Pshoping out the wheels.

I was told not to take the bra off and to not worry about it. I tried.

Re: Z6 Black Vette & Volvo S80

Very nice work on the paint, looks very deep and wet.

Those wheels do not belong on a Vette however, and the front tires are WAYY to small for that size rim. First curb he bites, those rims are going to be ruined.

Re: Z6 Black Vette & Volvo S80

Sorry Thomas to stray your thread away regarding the wheels. The paint does look very deep though and I commend you on that!
