Nasty Scratch on the hood

Touched up, sanded flat and initial compounding. Looks like its completely out in a single coat of touch up paint.

Blurry cell phone picture (hands were dirty). Compounding out the roof.

We're done for this visit, the coating needs about 72 hours before getting it wet.

Water beading, no soap yet.

With such a large selection of paint coatings available, its important to have foam to wash cars. Soap & Water would simply slide off any car thats properly maintained.

We washed the car with your typical muti bucket washes. Our twist is that we bright our own cold R.O. water for a fast rinse before we dry it in the install bay.

After drying we coated the car with Menzerna Power lock using a FLEX DA an 7" blue CCS pad.

Paint looks virtually perfect. Great job....so rewarding!
 
Great job,you do excellent work, looking good except for all the stickers on it.
 
If I were in the market that's the way I would mod it. Very nice.

How did you like the CeramicPro coating, compared with Cquartz?
 
C.quartz and CeramicPro are two completely different products. In heavy layers c.quartz is pretty durable.

With ceramicpro you can see the results are drastically glossier and more hydrophobic. Even the LITE version.

:iagree:

Also browsed through your flicker (entered there 'by accident'), couldn't stop watching until hitting the end.

Enjoyed both your car work and dog pictures, it's nice to see the photos took from someone who enjoys taking them.

From the little I saw, looks like you are having plenty of enjoyable time while doing the wonders you do detailing.

Seeing things like this is what inspires people like me to move on and keep investing on this job.

Thanks for sharing,

No need to say more regarding the actual job, hope one day I can achieve that level of perfection.

Kind Regards.

Amazing work! I wish I could afford one of those!

Have you done a lot of work for Team 16NiSS?

One of my brother's best friends is with them, he has a white Infiniti M35.
 
Thanks for all the feedback!

Looks like it, or the sunlight is coming from the puddle.
