Claying with the Uber Blus Clay Bar and Optimum No Rinse


Masking down the car and using the Uber Masking Paper to cover the top and the windows from all the dusting. (pretty make shift but got the job done)



Okay so how bad was the car take a look at the before compound/polish shots

50/50 of the hood after PO85RD





Metabo in action


Before door panel shots



After door shot (M105 and PO85RD)

Looks good...but are the exhaust tips installed upside down or on the wrong sides?

I don't think there is any1 in NWA that can do this type of detail. At lease I have not heard of any. I would love to have this done to my car, it looks great! Congrats to the owner!

Super job on the detail work. I wish I had access to someone as good. Alas, I quit taking it in as the quality of the detail work i was receiving was very disappointing. Working black paint is an art.

I have been teaching myself to do it right. I'm getting better but it still takes me two days to produce an "average" result. It is very hard work and i really appreciate the guys that do it right.
