Project Purple People Eater!
Client brought me his G wagon for some love. I was supposed to do his brand new Heritage edition 911 Targa, but he switched things up on me!

Re: Project Purple People Eater...
Hmmm. A Barney colored Teutonic military vehicle. Good job but it would take a pretty penny for me to be seen in that beast.
Re: Project Purple People Eater...
^^^LOL! It`s definitely a unique color! Thank you!
Re: Project Purple People Eater...
Very pretty. I like that color

Sizzle Chest:
What time of the day do you wash your vehicles that you detail? It looks like early-mid morning so you can take advantage of the shade from the garage or home structure and , I imagine, the "cooler" morning temps in Florida.
Also, does that wheel cleaner and iron decon discolor your cobblestone driveway?? I have some stains on my concrete driveway from acid wheel cleaner used on very badly neglected brake dust-encrusted rims that will last almost 2 months.(Ah, the joys of doing high-mileage daily drivers!) Or do you power-wash your driveway now and then?
I don`t; just garden hose with spray nozzle and some degreasing soap.
Also, what do you use to stand on to get to the top of high-profile vehicles, like this M-B G63?? i don`t think I have seen a platform step ladder in any of the photos, even in the background. Do like your chair with wheels, though, that must get a workout on all the low-profile sport cars you do, even if they are elevated on the pneumatic lift jack you have.
How did you clean this trim? It looks pretty water spotted! I also assume that the trim is covered with the 22ple Mistico Elemento Forte.
Speaking of 22ple Mistico Elemento Forte, I see you use this coating on almost EVERY vehicle you post. Is this coating only available to certified installers (detailers) such as yourself?? I do not see see it listed as something available through detailing resellers/distributors who sell 22ple.
Nice work on the Purple People Eater! I often wonder how long it takes you to detail such a vehicle, but after doing the BMW 740Li and the M-B S500 Coupe recently, I think you must be getting use to bigger vehicles. Cannot wait for the detail pics on the Marathon Coach Show Coach #1309 motor home you will be doing (yes, you need to google it to see why). Hey, isn`t that owned by the SAME person who had those Porsche GT3`s with the number "23" on them?? Captain Obvious` new corollary; "The best motor homes in the world get detailed by the best detailers in the world." (Just say, "NO")

Re: Project Purple People Eater...
Thanks Mike!
Lonnie: I get started usually before sunrise.
Nope. Pavers are sealed and just need to be pressure washed once in a while to keep em clean.
I use a couple small step ladders.
I do like my detailing chair. Comes in handy...a lot!
Trim was cleaned with Adam`s tire and rubber cleaner. Wiped with Optimum panel wipe and then coated.
Yes, that is their professional offering.
That`s some RV! HUGE! And super luxurious!
