UPDATED WITH SUN PICTURES ON LAST PAGE!





I just got back from a very full day. From 7:30 am till around 6:30 PM I have been detailing a 93 RX-7, with close to 360 whp, a warmed over SpecV and his wife's caviler. :)



Befores of the RX-7:

One more of the RX after:

I used Poorboys 2.5 to get rid of the swirls. Then some SSR1 to get some gloss. Tried topping with AIO and SG, but didn't look good, so I used NXT.



Now the SpecV.



It wasn't in that bad of shape, but it seemed sort of oxidized. Colour was very faded.

I used basically the same steps as the FD, but I used a different pad. It was a lot more aggressive.
 
I just did a quick wash and wax on this 2000 Cavilier. The paint was in decent shape. I just used NXT on a cutting pad.



All cars had hyperdressing on the tires. AIO on the rims. Stoners on the glass and some hot shine/trim restorer on the trim.



Here are the afters of the cavilier. Sorry no befores, I wasn't feeling too well so I wanted to get it over with.

Don't mind the small stone chips. :(





Thanks everyone for looking.



All these details took about 12 hours put together, so I'm wicked tired now.



Please leave comments and criticizems :)
 
They were weird tires. Thats after two applications. One with hyperdressing, which didn't do anything after it dried, and then turtlewax wet 'n black, which gave it the little sheen that it did have. I don't know what happend :(
 
I am still a big fan of those RX7's...wish I had one tucked away.



actually I like the finished tires of the RX7 - thats how I like tires to look like, nice and black (flat black)....what did you use...



3 cars one day! you're young, you can handle it...back when I was your age, we used to....blah blah blah!!

Nope. And for whats on the tires, I think you should read one post up. ;)
 
nice, looking good. Hard day aint it? Try this. Ill be detailing everyday for 7+ hours then going into work to serve everynight for 5-6 hours. 6 days a week. Its going to be hell but well worth it.

Great Job!
 
Excellent jobs on all three of the cars. The RX7 looks really sharp, I bet you enjoyed working on that.



It looks like that SpecV has some orange peel in that area. Apparently very common with Nissans. You'd better rest up, you must be exhausted after all that work.



Steck - Not sure where you are but no snow this way, just lots of rain. It was a wet one leaving the Meguiar's building after the training session yesterday!

Hehe, even in 3 gear in the second video we were spinning the tires, up to around 240 km/h. And that was on 1/4 throttle. :D



And you can't blame a dip that we bottomed out on for bad camcording skills. :o
 
OH! Almost forgot to mention that I'm doing a brand new Secret car from him when it comes in next month some time. I steered him away from the dealer installed swirl package route.
 
BuickGuy, it's that an FD( turbo)?

Any engine shoots? My buddy had one(now is some where in a chop shop :()

Yup. Its a twin turbo model, with the everything in the engine replaced with higher end stuff. Very quick car. Its suspension is also modified, its the auto-x champ in Winnipeg. We couldn't get traction to do any full throttle runs. It just sat there smoking the tires until he let off the throttle.
