Detailing Rottweiler
Hey all!!
The only thing that kept popping into my head today was "Candyland". You know the game with gum drops and tasty treats for everyone. :dance I felt like I was in Candyland today when I pulled up to my client's home. He had tasty treats for everyone (if you are into cars). Not only did he have the two sweet rides I detailed for him today but he also had a '02 Lightning modded to the max with about 580 rear wheel ponies. His wife drives a brand new SC430 that I'll be detailing next Saturday and he also has a pearl white twin turbo charged SC430 with over 700 rwhp that has been in several magazines!! His garage was a work space every man dreams of...a lift, satellite TV and radio...simply everything!! I can't even begin to describe it...it really was Candyland. The topper to it all was that he is one of the nicest most down to earth people. A true gentleman and just an absolute pleasure to chat with all day.
I originally came into contact with this client through a body shop I have done some work for recently...

The M5 had been in for some service and even though he told the dealer not to wash it...they did...and tore it up. It honestly looked like the wash media they used had some type of grit/dirt in it. I polished the entire car with IP/FP II and sealed with Trade Secret at that time.
He called yesterday and complimented me on the job I did on his Bimmer and said that his wife was going to sell her S2000 and that it needed a good once over. I took care of both that and the M5 again. Someone at his work had run their hands across the car when it had dirt/dust on it so it had some light marring. The S2000 had about 45K on it and had never had a good detail. Below is a description of my products and process for both cars.
Enjoy,
Mike
The details...
S2000
Wash with Meg's Gold Class shampoo
Clay with Clay Magic's clay bar using Meg's #34 as a lube
Polish with Menzerna IP using a LC orange pad and my PC set at 5-6
Polish with Menzerna FP II using a LC white pad and my PC set at 5-6
Seal with Poorboy's Natty's Paste Wax (blue) by hand with a foam pad
M5
Wash with Meg's Gold Class shampoo
Hood was polished with same above Menzerna combo. The rest of the car received FP II via white LC pad.
Seal with TOL's Trade Secret paste wax by hand with a foam pad.
Both cars have AA on tires and wells and VM on exterior glass. The M5 rims have Poorboy's Wheel Sealant.
He just put a new exhaust system on the M5 and you can see the largexhuge tips in this pic. I'd kill the name of the brand if I tried to pronounce/spell it but it is a German made kit and sounds like a daumn F1 car!!!
All leather surfaces have been treated with Poorboy's Leather Stuff.
