03 911 turbo

The owner should be e-mailing me a few whole car shots within a few days, since there was no good light when I was done...
The owner first contacted me after a shop charged him $200 and he wasn't happy with the detail... at first I assumed they skipped a few things, like vacuuming certain places, one or 2 windows were left dirty, etc...
NOPE... just take a look at the before shots...

Oh and I took the first 3 before shots to show how dumb it looks when a before photo like my before #4 is posted, then an after photo like my before #1... car looks amazing, but when you scroll down :shocked :hairpull

Process: The car ended up about 90-95% perfect since it looked like the previous detailer used a very abrasive polish and I had no clue how much of the clear coat he actually took off...
there were holograms everywhere and many of the swirls looked like they came from a "great" rotary job...
the owner and I agreed initially to take it easy on the cc and make it as good as possible, and once I saw the actual previous "job", it made the decision to leave out #84 and/or #85 even easier

anyway...

Wash: Meg's Gold Class, wheels got wheel brightener 4:1
Dry: Cali blade and meg's water magnet
Clayed with Meg's Smooth Surface clay
Polish:
Meg's #83 orange pad rotary @ 1500 RPM
FPII LC white pad via rotary @ 1200 RPM
Zymol Carbon on top (first time using it)

Meg's Hyper Dressing on all exterior trim and wheel wells 2:1
Meg's NXT on tires
KSG on wheels
Mother's on exhaust tips
Plexus, iirc, on clearbra

Interior:
Vacuumed everything
Meg's hyper dressing on all interior plastic/trim/vynil 2:1
Lexol on leather

Stoner IG on glass inside & out

Took a little over 8 hours

Dilution ratios... the 4:1 is according to instructions from Meguiar's for the wheel brightener... I assume it's safe to make it higher, such as 6:1 or 8:1, but anything less than 4:1 might be unsafe for the wheels as the solution is very strong...

the 2 2:1s are both the same, talking about the same bottle of Meguiar's Hyper Dressing... they're also dilution ratios... for this dressing, according to Meguiar's 1:1 is very high gloss, 4:1 is matte/satin or whatever the correct term is... I like the ones in between most though, as you can see

I was just floored when i saw the difference. The before pictures looked great, i cant even imagine the after looking at it in person. Its like a freekin mirror!

mad props

ty ghost... it does look amazing in person... I tend to look at the car for what it is though rather than the detail job I did haha... he took me for a ride afterwards...

even for an auto, the tranny shifts so smoothly and if you step on it shifts at redline.... amazing car

The owner said these were the only 2 photos that came out good from his photoshoot this morning...

You are awesome!

I'll be sure to tell about you whenever I hear about people wanting to get their rides detailed!

Thanks for the compliments bud... you get what you pay for, especially for a detail, as you can see in this case.

Contact me and maybe we can work something out, but again, you get what you pay for.
