Just did husbands sq5 and now the wife’s new car. As before the dealership was told not to touch it. As you can see an awful lot of damage for being untouched?
Corrected most of the car with Griot’s perfecting cream on the yellow perfecting pad, spot correction with fast correcting cream on the fast correcting foam pad. Refined with Modesta primer on a black finishing pad. Coated with Modesta bc04 and cured with ir lamp. Wheels and glass with polish angel and tires with Griot’s black satin. Thanks for looking!https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171213/7f060b7c96f2208d27229fa469c88519.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171213/9f50e92c2d1214992db516b2036c8527.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171213/71b748f3eae452ccab82de364204151b.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171213/0b25ade2a8292b0d8eb32abe84e93f0c.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171213/750a6ea50093742512a2034f6e9c9bce.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171213/1e3277d7787a97c742ca3c916c1d9d52.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171213/001c236f8927646bdd5f65b372b4017c.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171213/78de96e2ff786906bd97fd8b7f81d547.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171213/0f3f34a5ee6ceb8807c15bdf0add66da.jpg

[INSERT usual appreciation of Mike Lambert`s work here...]

Gee, hope they don`t plan to have it serviced there, I`d be soooo nervous that they`d do something else despite whatever they`re told.

Thanks, they have a great big sign for the window now, we’ll see?

So I think a sign may not be enough - probably a legal document signed in the service manager`s blood might help.

Pretty... Well done!

I noticed an electric car charger............ (I`m devastated, but it is MD)

Me thinks that is not a charger but a hose-reel (might be wrong on that)

It’s a hose reel fitted with a Griot’s hose and nozzle. Found the reel cheap but it had a plastic hose.

When you have worked on the new cars is how they supose to look when delivered to their new owners! Great work and the reflection is outstanding!

Do you see alot of swirled out messes when you look at newer cars around where you live?

The Modesta has made a big difference, booking March and 95% is Modesta. Very fortunate!

So Mike - which coatings have you used vs Modesta? Seems you favor them most recently

Ouch but very nice recovery. Thankfully when I picked up my new car it was nearly perfect with just one area on the decklid where it had to be corrected.

We have experience with g tech, c quartz finest, Gyeon, kamakaze and ceramic pro. I can tell you nothing we’ve used compares to Modesta as far as looks and durability as well as ease of maintenance.
