Fixing the work of my "competition" *56K* no no

[EBPcivicsi]

Both of these cars were done by the same local “detailer.� This guy told the customer that all black vehicles will look like this after a detail and that all detailers were the same�he invited her back if she could have the swirls removed.



Oddly enough, no one else in town would attempt the work�she was referred to me by two of the “detailers� who turned the work down.



These types of details really bring me satisfaction. The ladies who own these cars (mother and daughter) were so embarrassed by the swirls on the paint that they would not drive the cars. They were grinning from ear to ear when they picked the cars up�they thought that no one would be able to remove the swirls from their cars.



Both cars had cerami-clear and took a little time to find the right combo.

PO106FF @1400 RPM’s via a Wolfgang finishing pad



OPS via PC and a LC finishing pad @speed6

OCW as a final wipe down

Here’s the next one—same process:

They also damaged the wheels. Both cars had these marks in *every* space between the spokes.

Just for good measure here is a BMW 760i that I did a wash and wax on a few weeks back.

Ouch. Metal reinforcement wire in the brush they used?

Nice job there! Really incredible transformation!

Exactly what I was thinking--all of the bristles have been shed leaving the wire exposed. Makes you wonder how someone could do that, huh? It's job security for me.

Stunning as usual! It always brings great satisfaction when perfecting vehicles for people that really appreciate the hard work.

Is this a Chevelle in the background? Would love to see more of that.



I'm partial to the CLS (I think that's what it is), but both look great. Shame about the rims.

 

[imported_autocare]

Nice work. Im sure that these 2 details will bring in more work.

Fababelieveablestunning work :buffing:

Holy crap. Note to self: Never dip a buffing pad in gravel then use it on a black Merc; it doesn't work very well.



Awesome turnaround . . . I wish I had that kind of skill with a rotary.

Were the mom and daughter hot?



I wonder what type of excuse your comptetion has as to why or how you were able to remove what they obviously could NOT.



Great job

Maybe I need to crank up the RPMs to get the gravel to break down?

Awesome work on all counts!

Same thing i wanted to know

 

[EBPcivicsi]

Thanks guys!!



Superswamper, yes it is, I will be detailing it on Saturday and will try to post pics.



joyriiide1113, indeed they were--the daughter was super cute and obviously came from good genes.



violentveedub. sorry I am not teh bimmer guy. What model is that?

 

[EBPcivicsi]

Same thing i wanted to know

They just told her that if they were to detail it that it would still look like that. Thankfully, they were persistent and just knew that it didn't have to look like that.

:bow I wish I had your talent. I did a similar E350 about 2 weeks ago, and I'm almost embarassed to post it now.
