Up for buffing today was a modded Porsche 993 Cab. The owner had contacted me about a month back and I had checked the car out in the evening with just the Brinkmann while giving my estimate. Well, the sun is always worse :). Luckily, claying went quick and the wheels/wells/tires were in good shape. I spent about 4.5 hours strictly polishing and another hour doing a final wipedown. The last clown who detailed left this glue-like compound everywhere. I'll let the pics do the talking on this one...





- Dawn Wash

- Zaino Z18 clay with Dawn Wash as lube

- TOL Tire Cleaner cut 50/50 for the tires/wells

- P21s Wheel Cleaner for the Speedlines



- Menzerna S.I.P via rotary and LC Orange Cutting Pad @ 1700 rpm x 2

- Menzerna PO85RD via rotary and LC White Polishing Pad @ 1500 rpm x 2

- Dawn wash and GR-40 on all trim pieces to clean and de-oil



- Zaino Z5 Pro (ZFX) on paint

- Zaino Clear Seal on wheels

- Zaino Z-PC and #0000 Steel Wool on tailpipes

- Zaino Z8 final wipe down

Cheers.
 
P1ET: Almost wished I had brought my HTEC :).



jesse: Makita 9227c



VaSuperShine: "Sean, it looks like a new paint job"



Kenney: I cleaned the trim with GR-40 and it looked great after that. I contemplated it, and rather had not have an oil "looking" slick after the next rainfall if I used a dressing.



Pat and Greg: Winter is approaching so I will have about 5 full details a month now.



Thanks everyone!
 
Sensational turn around ! I always enjoy working on german clearcoats (higher um) as it makes our job a lot easier. But tell me something, how do you control the "sling" with a rotary at 1700rpm ?
 
Thanks everyone.



tumbler: Practice. I only had sling once and that's when I had my initial squeeze of PO85RD. The top was a bit gunked up and I was left with a 2 inch mound of polish that I had to disperse around.





Two more:

I am still amazed by your work. You've done a lot of cars in the past, but I think the one that always gets me is the red s2000 you did a while back. It gets me every time.
 
Looks amazing Sean!



Hopefully the winter won't be too harsh where we are so you will be able to squeeze in a few more details each month. Do you only do customers cars that have a garage for you to work out of, or do you have one to use over the winter months?
 
mr.ikon: I enjoyed that S2k...She really cleaned up well.



Rick: I almost require a garage now; it makes a night and day difference if the sun is out. As it looks, the rest of my line-up for the next 6 weeks, all customers should have a garage. I have one customer about to spend $350k over the course of 2 vehicles, so expect full documentation when this comes about ;).
