1 Clean WS6
Detailing Rottweiler
Hey all!!!
Enter reason 2,187,934 why I love my job.
This Friday I had the pleasure of spending all day with this brand new 290 mile F430. Like most of my well to do clients the customer handed me the keys and left me to my devices...super down to earth on every level. He even let me move the beast around the driveway!!! Believe it or not this car proved to be quite a challenge. A challenge because it had what I consider to be heavy marring (for a car of this caliber anyway) and because the paint was absolutely hard as nails. It took me 6.5 hours to detail this car and that is with less than 20 minutes spent on the interior!! I was absolutely approaching the limits of what a PC can correct but was not to be denied. :2thumbs: It made correcting a Vette or an Audi seem like a walk in the park.
It is at times like these that I wish I had a better digital camera and better photography skills but alas I have neither.
Below is a description of process and products used.
Enjoy (because I sure as heck did),
Mike
