Detailing for the DUB show *56K* warning

[EBPcivicsi]

This car belongs to the owner of Wheel Workz, it is his daily driver but was going to be pulling “show duty� Sunday at the DUB magazine car show. He needed it spruced up a little and got in touch with me. When I was contacted three weeks ago I was already taking appointments for June. I went ahead and took a day off from 9-5 to detail this car; I spent all day with her Friday�8.5 hours total. :D



The car was in fairly decent shape and did not have to detail the interior, that’s just fine with me.



The process was:



Wash



Clay�tons of bonded contaminants



Dry



Tape up



Buff with 3M Perfect-it III Machine glaze with a Meguiars polishing pad @1500 RPM’s



Buff with Menzerna final polish II via PC and a finishing pad



Wash again with a microfiber mitt to remove compounding dust



Apply 1Z metallic polish by hand



Apply one coat of optimum polymer technologies spray wax by hand



Tires were dressed with Meguiars hyper dressing



Wheels polished with Meguiars NXT all metal “polysh�



Glass cleaned with NXT glass cleaner



Exhaust polished with NXT all metal “polysh�



The engine was degreased, but no dressing was applied. I polishes all of the hose clamps as well as the air intake with Meguiars NXT all metal “polysh.�





Here are the befores:

The car was not transported from the shop to the show�they drove it. I knew that it would need to be wiped down before the show so I left the guys at the shop a stash of microfiber towels and explained how to minimize marring. When I saw the car at the show, it definitely had some new marring from the wipe down. :cry: Oh well, what can you do?



Here are a couple of shots of the car at the show. They changed the wheels from 22� to 24�.

The owner was nice enough to place some of my cards in the window--*very* cool.

And not to worry, even with the new marring from the wipe down, it looked 1 million times better than this GTO!! :soscared:

serious flake ! nice work

[Tasty]

Nice work, but oh how I hate those cars. So ugly. With rims like that I would upgrade the brakes. Stock rotors look terrible through those spokes.

Very nice man, I`m impressed

That is an awesome color. I think it`s called brilliant black crystal pearl. I saw a new Charger SRT8 in the same color and it was more than stunning!



Very nice work and you didn`t even have to touch the interior :bigups

[imported_TheFiveO]

Not much to add except....as Napolean would say..."Sweeeeeeet" !!! Great work :wow:

[Scottwax]
