Hi all!

This was a referral from one of my Lamborghini customers (his new Superlegerra detail is coming soon ). Just like the customer who referred him to me, this guys is extremely meticulous about his cars and literally likes to keep them in mint, hospital-clean condition. He just bought this car used, so it was in need of a little beautification to make it the car he's always wanted. The condition of the paint wasn't too bad, but you could immediately tell that it had never been waxed and that the color was just lifeless. After speaking to the new, proud owner about the options, we decided to go for a one-step polish. Depending on the car and how often the customer uses it, I usually try and assure them that a one-step polishing is absolutely enough to remove most of the scratches, restore gloss and bring the finish back to life. Honestly I really don't see a whole lot of sense in hunting down every single little tiny scratch and making the finish of a DD absolutely perfect. If I do a one-step on the car, I can make the finish look stunning despite the deeper scratches, but this also leaves me plenty of paint to work with in the future because with a 1-step I usually only take off 3-5 microns. This makes both the customer's and my life much easier . On to the detail >>

I didn't take a ton of pictures before the detail, but I think these few are more than enough to show you the condition of the car before.

50/50 test spot on the front wing. The first combo I went with was the best one, which was Wolf's WP-3N and a polishing pad via B. Diddy (my Dodo Juice Buff Daddy has decided to change his name )









The back spoiler before, done with Wolf's WP-3N and finishing pad with rotary. I switched to a finishing pad for the rotary for this part instead of a polishing pad.



After (upper and first rib completed)



Still some deeper scratches if you look closely, but we left those alone :thumb:







The interior was cleaned with Wolf's WT-1N @ 1:10 dilution for the carpets and 1:20 for the leather and all leather was dressed with WL-1N leather conditioner. Wheels cleaned with WP-1N wheel cleaner and tires dressed with WO-1N Tire and Trim Dressing. LSP for today was Wolf's WP-0NT nano sealant.

















New badges installed

A trip to Croatia to detail a 47 foot Atlantis...



Thanks for reading and to all the Playboy subscribers, thanks for "reading"!

great job... The trip sounds like fun~

 

Thanks Money! It was definitely a trip to remember... 47 ft. of boat is a lot to polish...

 

About time you posted Jesse, I was thinking we needed "Proof of life" there in Hungary.


Car looks great!!.

 

Jesse! Where you been mate!

 

I'm back Darren! More to come, I promise

 

Awesome job Jesse! You definitely made that car shine. I can't wait to see some pictures of the boat. I can't imagine how long it took if you had to polish the whole thing.

 

Great work! Very cool you detail boats as well!

 

A mestermű! It looks like you had to go underground to do this one. Must be one of those black-on-black vampire 911's that can't go out in daylight. It's hard to take photos under those conditions, but it looks great. Top notch job as usual.
