First of all, I'd like to thank my two friends who came over to take kick ass pictures for me as you'll see.

BBS LMs though... worst wheels to clean.... possibly EVER

White is surprisingly one of the more rewarding colors to detail though.

Entire front end is clear bra'd. That's the entire hood, headlights, front bumper, front lip, and two front fenders. Not as easy to work with as I thought. Pictures will show later.

First time trying the green uber pads this time. They are clearly the best flat pads out there with little things. It's soft. It's got retracted foam. Its velcro grips like super glue. It's inexpensive. What more do you need? I'm ordering more when I up my budget.

ON WITH THE PICUTRES




That's disgusting.



My hand is getting cramps just from looking at it.



Grime reaper is a werking girl!



P21S wheel gel foaming like crazy. Sometimes, it foams a bit too much. I mean, it foams too much all the time



Scrubbed and brushed all over



Well that really makes a HUGE difference.

To the inside!





Clear bra dulls everything






Light swirling. Nothing that POWER FINISH can't handle

Okay, how about some before and afters

Before


BAM!


Before


POW!


Swirl busting 101

1. Choose a tool


2. Apply polish


3. Kick ass



4. Finish kicking ass


5. Make sure you are done kicking ass


6. Look really cool

 

Side mod action for my friend's MR2


Now that's one JDM sticker.

Day 1. Completed.


Day 2. More of this


and even, some of this!


I kid, I kid.

Exhaust polishing


After a lot of polishing, we take out some VINTAGE


Applied with foam applicator


So hazy!


Back to being OCD





In my defense, Zymol Vintage was incredibly hard to wipe off after just 30 minutes.

And done! Finished in the day time for you to see!

ENGINE BAY! WITH THE TURBO!



I lied. This is just under the hood





Exhaust done



Wheels. So very expensive






All the pictures kick ass, so I just used them all instead of pick which ones.

 

GARAGE SHOTS!






How about some in the San Francisco daylight?








Lastly, here's some beading pictures.



Enjoy!

 

Great job!
