Project Double Trouble, Part II!

​
Client brought in his brand new R8 for some correction and protection. Paint was in decent shape, typical swirls.
I did his brothers ‘twin’ to this vehicle last week, hence the name of this job!


The ‘details’:

Adam’s eco wheel cleaner, tire/rubber cleaner, shampoo.
McKee’s 37 iron remover.
Medium clay mitt.
Master blaster to dry.
Scangrip lighting.
DeFelsko PTG.
HF Hercules FR machine, Rupes iBrid.
LC pads.
Griots dynamic duo. FCC and Perfecting.
Optimum panel wipe.
Aquatek Singular coating.
Adam’s graphene tire dressing.
Adam’s glass cleaner/interior detailer.
Metro vacuum.

Thanks for looking!

I will ask the typical "unintelligent" Captain Obvious question(s):
1a) Now that you have done one R8, did that experience help in doing this one?
1b) If so, what did you do differently with this one from that experience on the first one?
1c) Was this one "easier" to detail than the first because of this experience?
2) Did this one have "different" issues or problem areas than the first? I ask because it seems like this one had more water spots or some type of environmental fallout on it.
3) Were both of these vehicles custom-ordered and configured (IE optioned out, including color and interior) by each prospective owners?
4) If you had to own and drive one of these R8s, which one would you choose and why? (Ah, the tricky question! WAIT, I already know the "politically correct" answer: NEITHER! I already drive a Porsche 911; `nough said!!!)

Thanks for posting, Sizzle.

You have a "detailed" yourself into a no-win conundrum when the two bothers compare their R8`s side-by-side and try to determine who got the better detailing job. Good luck with that; you`ll have some `splainin` (explaining) to do. (Something about tipping better than the other brother?! Hummmm...)

1b) If so, what did you do differently with this one from that experience on the first one? I knew where to start with product/pad combo
1c) Was this one "easier" to detail than the first because of this experience? I think so.
2) Did this one have "different" issues or problem areas than the first? I ask because it seems like this one had more water spots or some type of environmental fallout on iteSame issues, this one showed them better/darker color. White one had more swirls!
3) Were both of these vehicles custom-ordered and configured (IE optioned out, including color and interior) by each prospective owners? Indeed they were
4) If you had to own and drive one of these R8s, which one would you choose and why? (Ah, the tricky question! WAIT, I already know the "politically correct" answer: NEITHER! I already drive a Porsche 911; `nough said!LOL, White car. Even though I like gray.

Speaking of southern Florida winter car shows, do you get referrals from owner`s of vehicles at these car shows you have detailed??
I just assume you do, because that is one of the questions I ask of what I judge as an over-the-top concourse detailed vehicle: "Who detailed your vehicle?"
Most will say they do themselves, but I have some who tell me horror stories about having some "professional" detailer detail their vehicle at some exorbitant price, only to be (greatly) disappointed with the end-result and appearance. That is especially true on dark-colored vehicles. It is also true that once they find that detailer who can deliver the appearance results they are happy with, they are more than willing to share that detailer`s name and company, but it may be that because I ask detailing-related questions of the owners and and show a genuine interest their vehicles. (More Captain Obvious detailing-inquiry charm.. More like nosy!)
