£4 million Augusta Helecoptor

Hi all i was asked to go and help with this detail by Gtechniq as DOS(depthofshine) is a autorized detailer using there products and the closest. The helecoptor had been detailed 2 years ago and coated with C1 crysal lacquer so this was a little maintainence to keep it looking its best, to be honest it still looked very good after 800 hours of flying the only problem was a few scratches on the nose and exhaust soot on the tail section.

I started to machine polish the tail section with a DA polisher and P1 polish to remove the soot,Vitali took car of the nose section and a few deep scratches. Then We coated the whole aircraft with the c1 to put a crysal hard coating on the surface.

A few more pics of vitali polishing the deep scratch with the P1 nanoscopic polish, did a good job to be honest its going to get repainted soon. I hope you all like it something a little different.

Lol. Nice man! First time ever seeing or knowing these machines do detailing. Would love to see an A380 get detailed.

That's awesome! I rode in a helicopter once and it was such a great feeling, especially at take-off.

Hill: I'm guessing it's to go places very fast without needing an airport to land.
