Orinda Auto Detail - LS460 and Black Fire SRC Finishing challenge!

[Orinda Auto Detail]

The goal on this is was to make it presentable for sale. Same customer I OC'd his new Tesla S. When he called and told me he wanted me to clean it up for sale I was expecting wash/clay/seal call it a day being a 25k mile car. When I saw it that changed. So I did what I could with a one step correction(could of used 3 easily). It's not perfect by any means but this is a true showing of Black Fire SRC Finishing polish can do. After what turned into a 3 hours car wash and decon just to get it ready to polish I got to it with my rotary and a white CCS pad. Check it out.

When it got here

See how much grime is caked on that emblem. Probably hasn't been washed in 6 months.

After washing an decon out in the sun. Doesn't look to horrible right? Lets take a closer look...

Ruff shape, rids, swirls, etchings, all the fun stuff!

The test spot. SRC finishing with my dewalt, and a white pad. I was very skeptical about this combo getting any where near the results I was going for. This is my goto one step 80% of the time and I have a good ideal of the limits. So I was kinda shocked when I wiped the polish away and saw...

Amazing black fire goodness? I showed that 50/50 shot to customer this morning and it was a whiplash moment. He almost broke his neck doing a double take.

The rest of the car was in = bad shape. So I kept working this combo around the car total time polishing was 4 1/2 hours. Then sealed it up with BFWD and...

Not perfect but considering I was very pleased.


Thanks for looking

Nice Job as always...Joe.

This car brings back memories of my LS. This was before a Hippie in San Francisco with a 1954 converted UPS truck (hand painted flowers all over the truck) decided that his lane wasn't big enough and he had to take mine as well.

Thanks Todd. Yeah it's pretty awesome, considering this is my goto one step most the time I really didn't expect to get the results I did:dunno:. I've seen cars in similar condition that I didn't even try this on because I figured no way. Live and learn!

turned out very nice joe.

Thanks Steve! I got a hammered black range rover for a full correction here! I don't want you thinking I have a fever or anything with all these non black cars I've been doing.
