I have another great opportunity not just detailing any ride, but truly a great transformations detailing on this ultimate driving machines

P1110194.JPG


this is the most comprehensive & elaborate thread i ever undertaken...over 150 ++ of careful pictures documented... covering every part before & after & the process of what took place......

never have i done any car for 2 sunlight day....... the amount of attention ...headache....heat that i endure was immense ... a total 19 hours of detailing...

this ultimate driving machine is slightly more than 3 years old, got repainted last year & the interior is beyond its age...
the owner specifies the interior detailing...

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

the residue left behind after a good bath

with the good old ONR no rinse wash - how does it work...it takes an average of 150 gallon of water to wash a car, from rinsing, to soaping & re rinsing...but with the technology, how 2 ounces of ONR in 2 gallon changes the water density & tension....whatever dust or dirt that is trap on the microfibers now is trap under the water tension.. was design to fight the global warming & environment issue



filthy interior - usually seen in chauffeur driven ride - but just a 3 years old ride only

thanks for taking your time to view my art
 
I always love your writeups kc! I thought it would be too mnay pictures for my taste but your posts are always so exciting I go through the whole thing.
Thank you! Car Looks beautiful!
 
awesome job bringing her back to life....hopefully they will maintain it better now
 
Nice work and writeup. So did you use the Power clean to remove the shoe marks? If not what product and process did you use to get rid of them? Thanks for sharing.
 
KC, great job as always! Finding a good client who lets you go after perfection is not only monetarily rewarding, but it brings great personal satisfaction and sense of achievement, very well deserved. Keep it up!

Nice use of the new Optima spray polishes. This convinces me to try them out.
 
Great job man! And I thought my car looked good after detailing it! That thing was dripping wet! Loved the reflections and all the photos!

:xyxthumbs:
 
Great job and awesome pictures. It really gets me how owners of high-end cars take such little care of them.
 
Why do people not care like that???

Great job!
too busy not to have time
too rich hired the wrong guy who drives his car

can u imagine 3 yr old car got repainted & change 2 sets of rims.....badly thrashed by the previous driver

Nice work and writeup. So did you use the Power clean to remove the shoe marks? If not what product and process did you use to get rid of them? Thanks for sharing.

yes diluting into 3 part of water spray on the brushes & not the surface,

great stuff....safe foe clear coat too...best bug remover

awesome job bringing her back to life....hopefully they will maintain it better now


thanks impressions, i had to endure both heat & fatigue....only had my lunch at 7pm on the 1st day...very stress up assigment

You did an amazing job. I'm sure the customer was beyond happy.

Makes you wonder.3 years old and already repainted that is just not right on any vehicle...Came out nice though.

it was so badly thrashed by the previous driver..

Wonderful work ! Love the way you cleaned up the interiors ! :xyxthumbs:

How did you manage to clean up the area with the soft touch plastic around the power window switches on the driver side door ? Our 3 series BMW too has the same problem of peeling of the coating :(
