About 5 months ago I had my hard drive on my laptop crash. Since I have other computers in the house I had internet access and all the basics so I took my time fixing it, but all my work stuff is on the laptop. I am just starting to get caught up with photos and such. I apologize for not listing products and process with all, as I don't recall the specifics anymore.
Here are a few projects from the past few months in no particular order:
'05 Jaguar XK-R
This customer called me after I had placed my card on his Ferrari at the local Cars & Coffee. This Jag is his daily driver so he just wanted it to look better. It has a few issues with the clear in a few places that will eventually need repair, but for the most part, the car was made to look a lot better with a one step correction with Menzerna Power Finish on an orange LC pad.
Starting out.
Sonax Full Effect on the wheels.
The paint condition.
50/50
Hood before
Hood after
The final result. LSP = BFWD
Impending rain limited sun shots.
2011 Audi A6
This customer initially had me prep their old Toyota Highlander for sale and he wanted me back to protect his new baby.
Not much spectacular. The white paint had some rust blooms. A little Iron X and a one step polish took care of it. LSP = BFWD
One of the areas that gets so little attention.
The reason I felt this was worth posting; leather seats can look just fine, but even at only 10k miles this 50/50 shows how much dirt and grime can be absorbed by the leather. This car is hardly abused. It is his baby and his wife even laughs about how anal he is about it. Regular cleaning is a must or the oils and dirt will take their toll, ultimately robbing the leather of its suppleness and eventually lead to cracking.
BMW 325i clean/clay/seal/engine. LSP = BFWD
I just love what BMWs do to wheels.:wall
A heavy dose of Iron X
A 50/50 of the steering wheel. I find this so often in women's cars.
2012 Honda Fit Opti-Coated
This car was only about 2 months old by the time I got to it. For those who think a new car looks as good as it can I present the following 50/50.
I also must say I love when a customer provides a cold beer and a hot lunch.:rockon
