Well the owner dont "care" that much when it comes to keeping this car at its best.

I brought it home today to "fresh" it up a little, even that it had needed a Menz workout i didnt have the time to do that, and it bothers me that i use 2 days on a swirl job, and its not taken care of afters (he is a NO pay, aka family)

Well i do enjoy washing and cleaning, so thats not the issue, but its kinda waste of time when it gets bad again after 1 or 2 washes, well its not THAT bad, but after ive got "brainwashed" and had my head "detailed" at AGol lol, i se SWIRLS everywhere, man im laying down in my driveway to get the "right view form the right angle" to find`em, and my neighbours thinks i have pased out or something...lol



What did i do:

Wash the car
Wash the engien
Clean innside (man thats boooooring)
Wells, wheels
And a swipe of the one an only: AquaWax..

New toys:

Well i used a Karcher Foam Lance, snow foam and Duragloss 591 marine & RV washConc to soak the car, worked well.

"Old" stuff that still impress me:

Duragloss Aquawax (it got to be the best "spray wax/QDer")
Duragloss rain repel (just try it)
Wolfgang Black diamond tire gel (brings it back)
P21s wheel gel (c-l-e-a-n-s)


And her she is at the start:

Nice one Truls! Congrats on the foam lance ;) hehe. The car came out great! I am trying AW soon to! Love the pictures, you are really getting the hang of it now :D
 
Even though it's frustrating that they don't take care of it, at least they keep bringing it back to you, right? :) Nice job.
 
Truls...very nice..the Black looks great.....whole job came out nice...I even like the tire gel look....

I heard Sparkie is going to paint his toe nails for his next Detail and show us them....LOL......

Great Job....

Truls great job! However, it does seem to be missing something..... something pink! :D
Very nice job!!!

Believe me Big Al, there is no sugar in my blood...:D That was funny!! HeeHee
 
Beautiful job Truls. Love the looks of that tire. May have to try WG.
 
Very Nice Depth On That Black ! Great detail Truls
 
Wow I want a foam gun like that :D looks like total fun! I'll pretend I'm doing a drive by except with foam :P. The BMW's looking great, awesome reflections!
 
GREAT JOB Truls!

I've got a similar X3 to start on this week (black/black interior).

I am finishing a "quickie" detail on an 06 325i (black) that will be delivered tomorrow. Because this is a pre-sold car for the owner's daughter, I just used Meguiar's #83 for swirl/scratch removal and will put a coat of #26 on it today.

Will post pics when I'm done

See Ya

It looks the same as last time Truls! Just kidding Truls. I think it was winter the last time you detailed it. Looks great!
 
Nice job indeed..cheap, no paying family sob's, eh??:D Buddy..I gotta say..I absolutely love your photography skills..must have a very nice camera for those depth of field shots!
 
Very nice job there, vehicle looks great. I agree with richy, you take some nice pictures. Really like the fron head light shot looks good :righton:

Thank you for sharing
 
Thanks guys.....

Richy: Yepp no paying family, and i use a Canon EOS 400d, it its the cameras foult that the pics ends up good, cos i dont have any skills taking em. but thanks anyway richy.....

Sparkie: Only the 951 AW on this one, but i had some DG 101 on it last time i washed it (after i marred the pain if you remember) And that sure was going strong on the beadings so i just boosted it up with the 951. AND we got some crocks here too, the P21s want let you down.

Gary: yep it was winter last time i had a total detail on it. But the winter is closing in here, summer is soon to end, and i probably need to give it a DG 105 (or 501) and 111 comb to make it last trough the winter months.
