White C5 Vette, Red '98 BMW Roadster

[Driven Auto Detail]

EDIT: C4, not C5.



Hey guys, I haven't posted pics in quite sometime so I thought I'd do a little catching up.



First up, a '96 (I think) Corvette. Typical detail.



-EXTERIOR-

Wash with Stoner Car Wash

Vinyl top with Meg's APC+

Clay with CM red

Meg's D151 / Meg's yellow polishing pad / PC 7424 XP

Meg's #21

Tires and wells with Meg's HD 2:1 and 4:1 respectively



-INTERIOR-

Vac

Carpets and mats with Bio-Kleen TLC

Vinyl and leather cleaned with Meg's APC (green) and protected with Optimum Protectant Plus



-BEFORE-

Not great, but better...

Sorry, afters were taken early the next morning before the customer arrived. Black line in bottom of front bumper is a crack; nothing I could do about it.

Next up is a 1998 BMW Roadster. Customer hit a pothole on the way which result in two popped tires and 2 bent wheels. It was Sunday afternoon but I was able to get a tow truck for him. I stored the car in the shop on jack stands as I worked with local wheel repair and tire shops to get the two wheels corrected and get him 4 new tires as the two popped tires were shot. It goes w/o saying that this job turned into a much bigger expense than the customer was hoping for. But he was very happy with how everything turned out.



After I got all that squared away, I was able to start on the detail itself.

Rx8 - Yeah, I realized I typed it wrong after I hit the submit button. I couldn't change the title so I noted it at the top of the thread.
