I got to do my first job of the 2011 season. The car was purchased in April of '10 and had about 11k miles on it. It had never been waxed prior to me detailing it today. The interior had been kept up pretty well so I didn't really have to do a whole lot beyond dusting/vacuuming.
I didn't do anything super fancy on the M's paint. I washed with ONR, polished w/D151 on a white CCS pad and followed with a coat of Fuzion by hand. I really wanted to do more to this car (I love these things) but I had to tell myself to stop 'cause I wouldn't be compensated for it.
I tried to take the time to take as many photos as possible, but when you get a groove it's hard to take alot of time to snap some pics. I don't see how some of you guys fit in a photo-session on top of doing a detail!!! Anyways, on with the pics!!
icture:
This is the condition of the car upon my arrival. The paint was in decent (far from great) shape. It was as to be expected of a car that hadn't been treated in over 10k miles.
Here's a few shots during the detail. There's a few 50/50's and some before/afters.
Now onto some completely finished pics.
Note: In some of the pics you'll notice a bright yellow '34 Ford and a wall of trophies. The owner's previous detailer is no longer going to detail his Ford after seeing what I did to his daily driven Infiniti. The customer gave me a verbal and notified me that I'd be his permanent detailer from now-on. Hopefully he'll tell all his hot-roddin' buddies and I'll get some new clients! I knew going in to this project that the owner had a classic car in the garage but I had NO IDEA of the quality of the car (see wall of trophies). Keep in mind folks, when detailing someone's daily driver as a "production" type job, you never know what else they may have at home or what's parked beside the car you're detailing.
