Well, a little while back I had the honor to be able to detail this beauty. I can't say it came in in the best shape, but it just made the results that much more dramatic.

So, first, the before, a good amount of dirt and rubber from being on the track:

This was the clay bar AFTER I cleaned the rubber off and only after doing a 24x12" section pass, ha:

Some nasty shots of the hood before. Lots of swirling you can't see and some very ANGRY scratching/scuffing:

Enjoy.

And while I was detailing this the fenders were getting painted at a shop to get ready for a local car show.

And yes...real 24 karat gold plated Work VS-XX wheel faces.

Also has a 24 karat gold plated valve cover.

And...to top it off, every piece of hardware holding the wheels together is titanium and almost every bolt you can see in the engine bay is as well, haha.
 
Excellent work on that race car, and talk about showing your ride some love 24k wheels, and valve cover wow wont be surprise if they put a real gold engine in too.....keep up the great work

Thanks a lot James.

And yeah, this guy loves his car. 6 year build though.

Also, I realize my pics weren't the best. I get to busy to always take good before and after pictures.
 
Your welcome, its good to show your family member (car) some love as for pics they was great they showed what you worked on and accomplished everyone has different picture takeing styles though the biggest concern is makeing the customer happy and I bet you sure made him real happy he will be back and maybe with newer customers too
 
Very nice work! :xyxthumbs:

Perhaps the customer should have had you detail it AFTER the fenders etc were put back on the car. Chances are they will come back from the shop with swirls and/or holograms. Plus, the process of fitting them back onto the car may damage some of your great work. :)
