What a busy 2 weeks!



Thankfully, I had 3 cancellations this weekend or I'd be dead right now.



last weekend started friday night, with the 2 month old black Fit.



SMR and topped with NXT

Some minor swirling on it, got most of it out. a bigger car than it appears, both interior wise and surface area to buff wise. This black was more of a midnight pearl, as it looked blue under certain lighting (As seen below)



Some Highlights:

Next day started early with this horribly haloed 05 Legacy. He bought it used and came with free dealer installed Halo's.



DACP x2 where needed, topped with NXT (my classic combo, but I love it)

Highlights:



Halo's before:

Afters (pics were a bit overexposed, might have been the high noon sunlight when we were done, who knows, i corrected the contrast as much as possible, but some still make the car look like plastic almost)

More pics to come. . .
 
Next about 2 hours after the Legacy was a black 00 Celica GTS that was recently put up for sale.



I had a hell of a time with the sever swirls on this thing. I DACP'ed x3 on some spots (didn't wanna step up to the Diamond Cut, the most aggressive I had) I did the car indoors, and it looked great in the limited lighting, but when we pulled it out, it looked like I hadn't even touched the thing. I blame the neglected single stage paint.

Then the next week sunday was this WRB WRX Wagon: Did his silver supra 2 or 3 weeks prior and he wanted his WRX done also.



04, some moderate swirls, nothing major to point out.

Next are the pair of dueces. . .
 
Now we get to today



Detailed a pair of MR2's today, mine red and a black one, both 93's and both turbos (his stock and mine way modded)



First the black one:



Paint was very dry and swirled. Looked like it hadn't been waxed in a few years easily. Sever clearcoat failure on the drivers side of the hood.



Got most of the swirls out, but a black car will never be perfect.



Meguiars DACP x2 where needed

NXT for sealant/wax

Some highlights:



hood half done, notice the darker section towards the top, that side was done, the bottom half wasn't

And the money shot of the day

Now on to my neglected beast next. . .



Now my car got the full treatment before and after the black one (he was a 2PM appointment, I started on mine at 10:30 AM and ended around 7ish after his) car, cuz it hasn't gotten it since last MAY, yes, over a year of oxidation and dirt on it.



If the black car's car's paint was dry, mine was sitting in a desert for years.



I literally have nothing to wipe off at each step except for the sealant, which doesn't soak in that much.



DACP (x2 as needed also)

Meguiars #7 Show Car Glaze (I believe that's what it's called)

#34 final inspection between each coat and x2 after

NXT (coat #1, #2 to come tomorrow possibly)



Photoshopped pic that I like (with my soon to be uploaded new site text and logo)
