Greg Nichols said:WOW Bryan!
You even fixed this cars paint in the den of the adversary.........I bet you will be hearing from the dealer about other cars to fix in "his shop". That is almost like a kick in the jewels to them:woot:
Cheers,

Gen2 said:That is an excellent transformation and great job as always. The porsche looks extremely wet and deep, I believe it will look awesome in the sun. Lately with all the discussion on the UF and seeing this wonderful result, I think I will be picking up a bottle soon to give it a try.

How did you get involved in fixing the car?
Garrison said:This is awesome. I always expect great "after" pictures, but this one blew me away!
While I hope the dealership offers you a lot of work, I also hope the client made the dealership pay you for fixing their screw up, and pay you well!!
Great job!
JoshVette said:Great work. Don't you just love correcting a car at the dealership right there in front of there own people. I had a similar experience and was detailing right next to there so called "detailing department".. ha They were looking at me like huh??
Those pics are awesome too.
SilverLexus said:Looks great Bryan. Didn't you post this one before or was that something else?
.VorteX. said:Just wanted to compliment you on an awesome job.
Wet and deep. Looks awesome.
Wish we could have seen some sun pics though![]()
Again, great work.
Badmittn said:Really great looking detail job. Did you take some close up after shots of the areas with the fine scratches shown in the before pictures?

gmblack3a said:Thanks JJ! I was actually having some issues using 106ff on this soft clear. With a white CCS pad it was "binding up" on the paint. You could actually feel and hear the metabo slowing down. This also seems to create more heat. I saw the same thing happen with this combo on the black F430 that Todd and I detailed down in FL. From what Ryan thinks the sharp abrasives are actually biting into the soft clear before they are broken down. So I will make sure I have some IP and FPII with me on the next "soft clear car" I polish. Back to your question, I just wanted to ensure the paint was hologram free. On something like a vette, I like the 106ff/white as the clear is so hard it just does not matter with the rotary.

Damn stunning work gmblack!
artikxscout said:nice, those are a blast to work on!
SuperBee364 said:I've never had this happen with 106ff before, but I've had it happen alot of times with SIP. The last time it happened, I went over the car with an IPA wipedown. That did the trick. SIP worked well and without one "binding" from then on. It appears that Menz's ceramiclear polishes are picky about what is on a car... QD residue, previous polishes, LSP traces, etc. It seems to prefer a completely bare surface to really work well on. A grey LC pad seems to work a bit better with 106 on really soft clears.
That car looks a-mazing. I bet the owner was floored.
Rob Tomlin said:Damn nice job!!!
I can't believe that the car looked like that....brand new from the dealer!!
Frankly, I don't know that I would have accepted delivery of that car, in that condition.
pyiu said:great work its dripping wet...I'm curious to know what the dealer had to say after the paint correction?
