A good client has been debating on whether to keep the car or not, well finally he decided to keep the car and came in to my new detailing shop. More about the shop later.
Upon arrival this is how the car looked.
Now, judging by this picture, the car did look normal, just dirty.
Wasting no time, I started with the washing, decon process.
Products used:
CarPro IronX
CG Citrus Wash/Gloss
Nanoskin medium grade prep towel
Nanoskin medium/fine sponges (smaller parts of the car)
IronX
Sonax Full Effect (Wheels)
Polishing products
Flex3401
LC CSS Orange, White.
Wolfgang Uber3.0+D300 ( Love this combo)
Meg's M105
HD polish
IPA (Twice)
CarPro Hydro2 ( wheel barrier protection)
CarPro Cquartz
CarPro Dlux
CarPro Fabric/Leather
After decon, this is what I was up against.
Paint condition before.....
Fenders
Door
Rear quarter panel
This picture really cripped me out,
Black Hole anyone.
After doing a few test back in my house, I really wanted to try this combo. I love FG400 but Uber3.0 for me at least, had a better cut, so I mixed together with D300 to give me a little bit more of working time.
50/50
Door
Trunk, after performing a few passes
This had got to be the worse condition of the entire car, the Hood.
I had to step up to M105 mixed with D300
A closer look.
After correction pictures
Remember The Black Hole?
Gone!
One angry Jaguar,
Before

After all the polishing was done, I think it was 2am already, I began to start coating the car.
I left the car curing overnight. Came back in the morning to do the interior, so I coated the fabric and leather, also I did a few touch ups on the exhaust as well.
After 2 days, the car was finally done and ready.
Beauty shots
After the final pictures the car was pulled inside again, waiting for the customer to pick up.
Ferrari 458 Italia Spider came in for the usual maintainance wash with Reload.
I finally was able to get our lifter, another great addition for the bay. Right now it looks plain, but it won't be for long. Customers couldn't wait so, hey we gotta do what we gotta do. My wife and I we are extremely happy of how far we have come. Looking forward for the new challenges ahead.
Once again, thank you all for looking and hopefully this is the beginning of something amazing.
*Update*
He has just got his new C7 Vette in.
2014 Corvette C7 Stingray Convertible and we will be doing a full front Xpel clear bra plus New Car prep with Cquartz on his car
He came in to show us in person.
Stay tuned for that.
