Process:

Jeff Werkstatt Auto Body Wash

Poorboys Clay

Opt. Polish on the hood and trunk (minor swirls) Via PC w/ LC cutting pad

That looks excellent, what gives the silver such a shine, I have never seen a shine quite like that on silver.

Acrylic Jett does that, really insane wet gloss on metallics. :drool:



Justin-looks terrific! :up
 
Nice work like everyone said.

Photos are great too.

What camera (and lens?) did you use?

He's right cars like that are a dime a dozen where I live and work...





MAD iX- I use a Cannon Digital Rebel XT w/ 18-55mm wideangle lens mostly...
 
I really appreciate all the comments guys...It was my first detail in awhile so its nice to know I still can do decent work... I would like to believe that all my trial in error on my own car has gotten me to the point where I really know how to make light colored cars look good…thanks again all for the comments!

why would anyone take the badges off? its the only main difference on the car between a 30k benz and an 80k benz.

Unless you have a collectible car that needs badges to be show correct, I personally feel any vehicle looks better debadged. No more Q-tips in between the letters and numbers once you remove them, gives you a cleaner (and more clean!) look. Plus, I know people who remove their performance oriented badges for the sleeper look.
 
Nice work.



What a superb finish to a silver car! :drool:



Looks better without the badges. They can be ordered de-badged, or at least they could at one point in this country. Still can on BM's.



Cheers
