SpeedFreak Detailed: Nicklas Backstrom's Blk '09 SL63 AMG

[SpeedFreak81]

Been a while since I posted a detail, getting a bit backed up so here is one from a month or so ago. The owner of Designo Motoring in Sterling, VA has a lot of athlete clientele from the Redskins, Capitals, and Wizards sports teams. I'm a huge NHL/Caps fan so when he asked me to perform a correction on Nick Backstrom's black SL63 AMG I was stoked! It had apparently been vandalized and was in pretty bad shape. Some of the scratches were too deep to remove, so they remain. I was VERY pressed for time so I didn't get to take many pictures. The car had your typical heavy swirling, RIDS, and some deep scratches on the front bumper, and door.

Thanks for looking!

That is awesome! I love the NHL too, so I can imagine how cool it is to work on his cars. The car looks great too, not to forget about that! Did you deal with him directly, and if so did he get you any cool memorabilia?

I just made a mess.............

[Rez90]

Wow. How bad was the paint that you had to use 105 with PFW?

[shoeless89]

Fantastic work!

[AutowerxDetailing]

Nice man, it looks dripping wet!

[Mike Phillips]

Simply beautiful.

Very nice work!



:xyxthumbs:

[dbark]

Great job and very cool that you get to work on an NHL player's car but you need to take his license plate number out of the photos. The right dishonest person could do some damage with that info.

[SpeedFreak81]

Thanks for the compliments guys!

[Hunter09]

Thanks for the compliments guys!
Great work. Love the black benz. Looks like the car is wet and deep. Don't care for the CAPS but then again I'm from Boston!

[Slava]

Great Job.

Hope to see caps win tonight.
