<strong class='bbc'>Sorry if you found it offensive................. I meant it actually as a compliment to carguy. Implying that the even though he has the $$$ to have it done professonally, he enjoys to do it himself professionally, which is why I was so impressed, which is why I posted what I posted. [/b]</blockquote>
Sorry for the misunderstanding. My bad.

I was a bit offended too. I appreciated his added response but perhaps that should have been what he said all along.



I respect Greg for the hard work he pours into his cars. He may not have to do it, but he does because I am sure he loves it. That deserves a tip o' the cap, not a dis.
 
iforcev8: I appreciate the explanation. I wasn't offended, but there were in fact two ways to interpret the message. As an optimist, I chose to believe the one you expressed in your clarification - and thanks. I know I'm lucky to have the cars I do - they are a lifelong dream. I worked my butt off for a lot of years, driving a lot of cars that always felt like compromises to me. But I really do enjoy working on them myself. I consider it a luxury to have the time to do it. It's good therapy!



Schwa72 - Nice 'Vette!
 
What strikes me about the side by side photo is how similar the two cars look from that angle. I wouldn't have guessed it. Thanks again for posting this thread!
 
Excellent job Greg....



I wish I could duplicate your efforts with my g/f's Black RX300. Such a hard color to maintain, but it sure looks good when clean. :cool:

Greg, I take that as a real compliment, especially coming from you!

:up :cool: :up
 
with great detailing done to them.



I think I should get my tin of Meguiars GC out and do some cars (well next Spring), always trying to improve techniques.

3 weeks ago we did a very special porsche 1st Porsche Cayman limited edition in Malaysia

Ladies & gentleman ...presenting to you...another of our detailing adventure journey together with my buddy Seech

P1050106.JPG



the best ever Porsche made - one of the car every drivers would love to have.......the supercar

P1040755.JPG



With the advent of the water-cooled 996, Porsche needed to find a way to continue the lineage of its motorsport-focused 964 and 993 RS models
we detail some months ago http://thedetailers.blogspot.com/2009/11/porsche-330-carrera-2-ferrari-f355-just.html

The answer was the GT3.
P1040426.JPG


Built by hand away from the main 996 production line, the GT3 enabled the homologation necessary for Porsche to provide cars for a wide range of GT racing


The body is based on a modified Carrera 4 bodyshell, suspended on lowered, fully adjustable suspension and anti-roll bars, with beefier brakes and a limited-slip differential to complete the package. No traction control or stability management driver aids are fitted, with ABS being the only concession to computer-controlled driving

911 GT3. Its engineering solutions are proven on the track. And best appreciated there, too. .... is derived from the 911 GT3 Cup racing cars. Made from genuine ......

As befits the racing heritage, driving a GT3 is a raw, loud and utterly visceral experience. Every journey is an event that rewards concentrated effort to wring the best from the car

upon arrival

Residues of dirt & grim from rain

a good bath for this stallion

hmmmmm 2 bucket?
P1040820.JPG

where & when u encounter your limitations .....as no splashing of running water & hosing allowed in the covered car park

P1040881.JPG



my solution is diluting ONR optimum no rinse wash 1 ounce to 2 gallon of water 3 caps to 8 litres of water

P1040882.JPG


before..the mixtures
P1040886.JPG


just 3 caps to 8 litres of water & no need a second bucket......as i left the 2nd bucket to rinse off the rims cleaning later
P1040883.JPG


after ONR mixtures....blueish ...water tension now is created to hold dust below & same time washes & lubricate
P1040885.JPG

even visible swirls very onvious

after wash...now u can see TOGWT wax
P1050083.JPG


______________i realised some are always good in written & never seen any of his work___________________


Claying
P1040905.JPG


diluting 30 ml of ONR to 500 ml of water as lube for clay .....to pick up paint surface above contamination...such as tar films, industrial fall out, tree sap, brakes residues, old waxes residue....or any dirt or adhesive residues

look at the wax residues
on the clear bra...as the owner specifically mentioned & very concern about correction without damaging, on the clear bra

P1040921.JPG


issue here how do we hose down the chemicals & residue in this covered car park?

P1040922.JPG


P1040927.JPG


i opt to the least aggressive method rather than corrosive chemicals approach - for health & safety reason


aggitating with Optimum power clean & brushing off with wheels brushes
sprayed ONR & wipe down with onr + microfibers
P1040934.JPG



with this little help ...i managed not only to clean but also restores & protect her...later was sealed by opti seal & wax by Oc wax
P1040920.JPG


this is what i gather from ONR - the residue that was retain by the water tension
P1040941.JPG



moving on to the dirtest part of the exhaust

P1040935.JPG


during aggitation OPtimum power clean as the least aggressive method

after trying a numerous product... it seems that Megs M105 with Lake country CCS cutting pad suits the correction..as there is lots of RIDs under the swirls...awaiting to surface when the swirls is eliminating

& Master Seech...came behind me with Optimum Polish with Megs polishing pad

& we both finishes it with Optimum Finish with LC CCs blue finishing pad

Protected with Opti seal by Seech

Optimum Car wax-ed by me

Once an opportunity to open up presents itself then the GT3's party trick is revealed: above 5000rpm that engine screams with a finely tuned, normally aspirated howl that causes the hairs on the back of your neck to stand up

Too many more pictures to post here so posted the rest of the pictures on my blog.
 
Wow, very impressive work. Spectacular shine on that race car now.

I love that color too. Nice and dark to flatter your work but not all the way black. Although I own black I still think it lacks "character". That color has some character (well, it does NOW) :clap:

Thanks Puckman.... now to look for a GT3 RS..... :thumbup:
 
I sell Porsches. Always loved the GT3. I have one client that has 2004 GT3 Yellow, 2007 GT3 RS Green and he just picked up his 2010 GT3 RS White with the Red Wheels and Stripes. The 2007 in the Green is a great color, I really like the 2010 also. The White with the Red Lettering and Red Wheels is great.
