Some of the recent cars I have done over the last week....



One of Hunters Performance Customers who meet me up at Hunters shop, got a card and contacted me last week about getting his wifes Challenger done. They had just gotten it from the dealership and wanted it looking good. Wanted me to check it out and see what I thought, but as expected, he said the dealership prepped it prior to delivery. When I got to his house the car was in pretty bad shape for only being a few weeks old. So customer wanted it looking the way it should and settled on my 2-Step Buff Package.



Love this car and love the color...really made me want one. :argh:

What the paint looked like in the sun...not exactly how a brand new car should look.

Interesting bloch on the hood that did not come off from washing...

Anyways, got on the car and through finishing the buffing, the sun was setting just right as the garage faced nicely to the west. So got some pictures of the hood after it was done while I was taking a short break.

After I was done buffing had to rewash the car to get rid of the mass amount of dust on the car and knew that I would not be done in time to get sun shots so got a few while I had a chance. Some shots of the car prior to washing while it is still covered in dust.

Overall before I wash it...paint already a lot more glossy and sharp.

After washing, drying again, doing a general interior, windows, tire shine and getting the car sealed up. No more sun but still the car looks a hell of a lot better than it did.

Owner just got back from the One Lap of America where the owner placed 18the overall. He wanted to get all the decals removed from the car as its his daily and he hates it being covered in decals. Was a pain detail as nothing went right and what should have only taken a few nours took me almost 7 hours. This only included removing the decals, washing/waxing and the interior.

The 392 looks great!!!!, I would love that car as well(In white w/blue stripes...) certified "Tightness", the other cars look nice and the Corvette shop could use a "Detail" as well (lol) again great work.
 
Nice work all around.



I went to the show where those Vette's were. That silver Vette sounded SICK when they cranked it up. Huge Procharger (F1?) I believe it was.
