Hey Guys, I recently performed this detail on a red S2000!!! Before and afters are simply amazing! There is a lot to be said about a proper detail. For those of you who know how to detail, you know results like this are why we do it! There is just something about being able to take trashed to almost brand new again!



Befores:

Notice all the road rash and stone chips? He was going to have it repainted, but I made it much better! i dont think he will be repainting it anytime soon, now! Swirls, this car has loads of them! I had to come up with a process that fit in the time schedule we had for this car! - only 7 hours from start to finish, including the interior work (2.5 hours), which left me about 4 hours to get through the exterior paint work!

Afters:

notice the loads of gloss and depth this car now has? thanks to a 3 step exterior compound, polish, polish/wax combo, I was able to bring the car's paint back to life!

Awesome work!



How come you go through so many pads instead of just brushing them after each panel?
 
time!!! Its easier to grab a new one than brush through and rinse out a used one. I have about 20 orange pads, 8 white/megs yellow polishing, and 6 finishing pads...I take them all with me on a detail just in case I want to try out a different product combo, need them, or drop one on accident.
 
thanks a lot guys, the kind words are appreciated



yeah the bumper is cracked...he used to track the car, hence the road rash, rock chips, and scuffed/cracked pieces on the front end...

Lol. I suppose that makes sense. I guess if I had 30+ pads I wouldn't bother cleaning them on the job either.
