1994 Cadillac Fleetwood with 11,450 actual miles. Obviously in great shape, interior still looks new.



Vanilla Moose and Carnauba Moose.

Here is the semi world famous Acura TL. The guy moved into a house, so no nearby buildings to reflect off the paint. This is also the first picture I got of it in the sunlight.

This is a 1998 Navigator that I detailed on Monday. It had not been waxed in over a year and sits outside all the time (2 car garage, but it is filled with junk and her husband's BMW 740iL).



Clayed it, VM.CMW

I used a different approach with this 2000 Expidition. I regularly wash it (every week) and wax it every 2-3 months. Last time was in late May, using Final Polish (and it was still beading nicely). Problem was, her husband washed it a few times at a self serve car wash and used the foam brush on it, leaving tons of fine scratches all over the paint. I took some pics from start to finish, but apparently with low light in the warehouse I did the work in, my camera didn't focus very well and while you can see the improvement, the pics just aren't very clear and sharp.



Anyway, I polished first with Meguiars DACP, then with Winner's Choice Gloss Restorer, then sealed it with Winner's Choice Polymer Finishing Creme and topped it with S100.

Oh crap, there goes another pixel burnout on my LCD! :D



Haven't tried Winners or Pro's in a long time. I see they improved the products.



Long ago, I used another sealant from Styles which was so thin and solvent ridden I told my guys watch the cigs with this stuff!



Never hurts to re-visit some of the previous products used, some DO get better. Some also stay the same!



Gee, now you got me thinking to find my Liquid Ebony again...

The great American luxury automobile. Lot of area on that one.

Had to take a long time to detail no matter what shape it started in.

The TL--- goes without saying: beautiful.

You certainly have a great customer database.

As always.......Nice job!

bunker-I had detailed that Fleetwood in April and it had probably only been driven a few times. The rest of the time, it has been sitting in his warehouse. Definitely was real dusty!



BTW, I used Vanilla Moose on the stainless around the bottom of the car.
 
It amazes me the flexibility of Vanilla Moose. If I am in doubt what to use on a body part, I try VM with geat success.

All the plastic on Avalanche, lower plastic panels on bimmers, etc
