First off, I haven't been on the site lately due to the fact that I have been swamped with business! I HAD tons of pictures until my SD Card on my camera corrupted right as I was about to upload... :cry: So that means the 1997 all Bonestock Toyota Supra Pics are gone, 1970 something Plymouth pictures are gone, and the 2007 Dodge Viper pictures are gone.. They said they will definitely come back to me when they want their car redone. But it was a sad sad day when I lost these pics. Anyways I will be posting more now since I got a new card!

NOW

Heres the background on this car.

This is my Girlfriend's Mom's CTS-V. :xyxthumbs: She was wondering constantly on how my car (Black G35) would always show up to her house clean with no rain spots, no dirt, and the chrome on my rims were always shining. I explained to her that I do a really good job at detailing lol. After I talked to her a bit she said she wanted her exterior only detailed. So I did just that and she was VERY impressed :)

I use a lot of Mother's Products since I get them for practically dirt cheap and they never cease to prove that I shouldn't use them

Products used :

Mother's California Gold Wash
Mother's Wheel and Tire Cleaner
3M Painters Tape
Porter Cable 7424xp
Orange, White, and Red Pads
Wolfgang Total Swirl Remover 3.0
Wolfgang Finishing Glaze 3.0
Mother's Car wax
Mother's Tire Reflection
Meguiar's Metal Polish

This is my favorite shot because you can see how dirty my shoes are in the paint! lol

Couldn't get full car shots due to the rain going on right as I pulled the car into the Garage.

I will update this as soon as I get them!

J/K...nice job. I love Cadillacs :props:
 
Nice job on that V. I love when family members ask me why my car is so clean lol.
 
LMAO @ Flash!! SMH!!!

Very nice job on the car sir! How long did the job take you?
 
Do you happen to know if this is the Black Raven or Black Diamond Tri-Coat? I've been kind curious to know the difference between the two, especially from a detailing perspective.

Love the V!

no really sure on this one. all i can tell you is that it came out way better than i expected! this car has an amazing potential to shine, and i did just that!

i own both raven and a diamond. they are still very soft paints and mar far too easily. i use opti coat followed by permanon for upkeep. the diamond looks dusty most of the time but when the sun shines (seldom here in oregon) it dazzles. used ipa at a little less than 15 % and probably wont use it again.
