The paint is in great shape as I had a correction done a few months ago by a local detail pro David F. I am just maintaining his amazing work.

Thanks guys for checking it out, learned most of my very limited skills from this site!

That's a good looking car. Your process seems right. What did you use to blow dry it and what tools did you use for cleaning the wheels?
 
looks good.Glad to see owners taking pride in their ride after paint correction was performed. Good job!

I've got a soft brush for cleaning the exterior portion of the wheels and tires. Then a 2nd brush similar to the "Daytona Speed Master Wheel Brush" for the wells and interior of the rims.

I dry with the "Metro Stainless Compact Canister Vacuum", its a little underpowered but gets the job done. I was gonna buy a leaf blower but not sure I should spend the coin when this is doing the job for now.

Thanks guys for the complements, means a lot coming from this board. I've become obsessed lately as I will at times wash the car twice in a week. Then other weeks decide not to as I don't want to rub the paint THAT much....crazy.

Black is only clean immed after the detail and being photographed in my garage. After I drive it out of the driveway it needs a wash.

Great looking car! Nice selection of products used as well! David does great work, and I'm sure it will look like this for a very long time with your proper upkeep. :xyxthumbs:
 
That car is pure sex...very nice car you got there. I like the wheels too. If I had that car I wouldn't mind washing it twice a week either.
 
Sweet 997 you have!

If you just spent all day cleaning a black car it's already dirty again :laughing:. I have and do own black vehicles and know that to be all too true. Someone told me once that keeping a black car clean is a full time job and I have to agree. That said, black is king when it comes to being impressive when it has been detailed like yours.

Looks great! Err, what's "blew out the interior" mean?

I open both doors and use my blower fr one side of the car. It lifts and sends the light dust and other particles out the other side. Dash/air vents and especially small crevaces...it's a 40 sec step, for this car, prior to vacuum.

You guys from the south need to stop torturing us Yankees with your winter pics!
This morning it was an even 0 degrees in Pittsburgh. Guess who's car didn't get detailed today. This is my first winter with Collinite products on my daily driver. I sure hope they exceed my expectations!
