Beautiful Job...car looks great..we do full details like these at our auto body shop in San Diego and seeing our customers faces after an 8-16+ hour detail is always so great.
Some people can't justify spending between $300 to upwards of $1000+ for a detail, but for those of us that do, it's a very pleasurable experience.

It's the headlight on/off ****. I believe the washers come on at the same time the windshield washers do.

First off we would like to thank Joe for the opportunity to detail his fleet of cars especially the Carrera GT. The first 3 cars were the S600, Land Rover, and BMW X5. These were full details minus the engine detail and paint correction. The cars came out great. As for the Porsche Carrera GT this was the top of the line detail. Here is an explanation of what we did: Full exterior wash with P21S auto wash to remove any existing wax on the car. Wheels and tires cleaned. Engine was not that dirty so we gave it a good wipe down to remove any loose dirt and grime, then waxed ALL the carbon fiber pieces with a synthetic wax and treated all plastic pieces. Next was onto the interior. The interior on this car is truely AMAZING!!!! From the floor board to the seats, to the door panels, EVERYTHING is CARBON FIBER!!! The car was dusted, vacuumed, leather cleaned and treated with LEXOL, all carbon fiber pieces including the floor was waxed with a synthetic wax, glassed cleaned with DP Glass cleaner. Next it was time for the exterior. The car has the protective film from the front of the car to the windsheild and parts of the rear of the car. So the roof, doors and rear 1/2 of the car were polished. We used Menzerna 106FF with a White polishing pad to polish the car out. Then the car was prepped with Zymol HD cleanse. Then it was time for Zymol Concours. The tires were dressed with 3M tire dressing. The pictures don't do the car justice. It looks STUNNING!!! Feel free to ask us any questions regarding the process we used to detail this fine automobile. Thanks again to Joe and his wife, GREAT people.

Sadly it has been sitting in the rain again!!! It still has that gleaming shine but it is under all of the rain drops...
You hear that Paul? This time I would think it doesnt require that much work though

It is going to be much quicker next time Joe. All we have to do is wash it again and put the second coat of Zymol Concours on it. I can't wait to see how this car is going to look after the 3rd-4th coat. Will keep you updated on when we will swing by and do that for you. Thanks again!!
