not advisable to do it annually or too often - as the thickness of your car coat is only as thick as a paper

I found my Sheer driving experience by taking up the ownership
 
So you're able to get those dramatic turnarounds in the interior with a soft brush like that?
Do you spray the seats with OPC or do you spray it onto the brush and then agitate?
I find your write-ups to be very entertaining and inspiring by the way
 
:eek: omg

Disgusting!

wahh so much work! :wow:

:goodpost: Detailed - enough fotos to see it all.
 
As always KC an absolute joy to experience your work and the way you share your adventures. :dblthumb2:
 
How can someone let such a beautiful and expensive car get that trashed?
 
KC's - I always look forward to reading your write ups, I get excited when I see you have a new post up :)

That was an impressive interior turn around, quite the alien skills you have. Also your eye for photography is fantastic, I love the 'smiling vents' :props:

When you said at the very end 'I found my Sheer driving experience by taking up the ownership' did you mean that this is now your car?

Again, thanks for sharing all of your hard work :bowdown:
 
Great Job!
What a turn around. For a 2 yr old car, it sure was abused.
MakemeShine
thanks for your kind words

gotta love OPC haha. GJ as usual KC.

Cg6LeMoN, LOL yupp the savior of the day

Thanks Judge for your cheers
yupp...different brushes...i have 3 for interior & 2 exterior
I usually spray on the brushes & aggitate the surface

the key of using OPC is never allow it to dry, wipe down immediately with dam MF



Nice save. That car looked filthy! Yuck.


thanks Kronos
LOL....yes its a great save

Completely un called for to let a nice car go to shame like that. Very nice work KC. You say you took up the ownership?

Thank you smack

Lovely work!

Suoercharged Thank you

:eek: omg
