A good client has been debating on whether to keep the car or not, well finally he decided to keep the car and came in to my new detailing shop. More about the shop later.

Upon arrival this is how the car looked.




Now, judging by this picture, the car did look normal, just dirty.

Wasting no time, I started with the washing, decon process.

Products used:
CarPro IronX
CG Citrus Wash/Gloss
Nanoskin medium grade prep towel
Nanoskin medium/fine sponges (smaller parts of the car)
IronX
Sonax Full Effect (Wheels)

Polishing products
Flex3401
LC CSS Orange, White.
Wolfgang Uber3.0+D300 ( Love this combo)
Meg's M105
HD polish
IPA (Twice)
CarPro Hydro2 ( wheel barrier protection)
CarPro Cquartz
CarPro Dlux
CarPro Fabric/Leather


After decon, this is what I was up against.

Paint condition before.....

Fenders




Door





Rear quarter panel



This picture really cripped me out,

Black Hole anyone.


After doing a few test back in my house, I really wanted to try this combo. I love FG400 but Uber3.0 for me at least, had a better cut, so I mixed together with D300 to give me a little bit more of working time.

50/50

Door





Trunk, after performing a few passes




This had got to be the worse condition of the entire car, the Hood.

I had to step up to M105 mixed with D300



A closer look.



To be continued.....
 
After correction pictures

Remember The Black Hole?



Gone!







One angry Jaguar,

Before



After





After all the polishing was done, I think it was 2am already, I began to start coating the car.







I left the car curing overnight. Came back in the morning to do the interior, so I coated the fabric and leather, also I did a few touch ups on the exhaust as well.

After 2 days, the car was finally done and ready.

Beauty shots





















After the final pictures the car was pulled inside again, waiting for the customer to pick up.



Ferrari 458 Italia Spider came in for the usual maintainance wash with Reload.

I finally was able to get our lifter, another great addition for the bay. Right now it looks plain, but it won't be for long. Customers couldn't wait so, hey we gotta do what we gotta do. My wife and I we are extremely happy of how far we have come. Looking forward for the new challenges ahead. Also we will be having a grand opnening soon, I will gladly announce it and we welcome anyone to come and enjoy it great food and drinks. Brazilian Barbecue. Also I would like to take this moment and thank my 2nd family, Autogeek for always doing what they do best, making us business owners happy. AutoGeek family is more than welcome to come, specially my good friend Mike Philips. I will have that beer waiting for you my friend.

Once again, thank you all for looking and hopefully this is the beginning of something amazing.

*Update*

He has just got his new C7 Vette in.

2014 Corvette C7 Stingray Convertible and we will be doing a full front Xpel clear bra plus New Car prep with Cquartz on his car

He came in to show us in person.



Stay tuned for that.
 
My english vocabulary lacks an adjective to describe this work... the write-up was also a pleasure to follow, full of details and nice pictures demonstrating the perfection of your work.

I must admit I was nervous while browsing the before pictures, the afters came as a great relief. Stellar results, my friend!

Brazilian Barbecue, huh!? Sounds great!

Also, can't wait to see this C7 (sorry, we are always asking for more!), what a beautiful color (both exterior and interior) customer chose, wonderful wheels as well. What more to say!?

Thanks a lot for sharing, and congratulations on your work.

Kind Regards.

Thanks Richy I appreciate it my friend. Grand opening will be soon, not yet. Still have to make the bay, more detailing friendly. I know we already have lined up close to 50+ cars to support us.
