Last weeks detail.

 

This weekends detail.

I washed it Friday after work and it started to rain, then sleet then a little hail all within 15 minutes. I just kept working since I was bundled up since it was already cold and a little windy. I was only washing it for today’s polish and coating.

I will post outside shots tomorrow asthe Big Black SUV is baking in my garage overnight under my powerful garage lights. Currently 40 outside, garage is at 65 degrees and I do not have a heated garage.

 

Finished pictures. Mrs, Darth Vader’s SVU is done. Pictures from iPhone X not in HD.

As you will see below it looks liquid black, but is metallic with blue and silver in it.

 

Well the owner came and picked up the GP and was blown away.





Oh and this little thing got a nice wash before she went back in the garage. It has been sitting outside for two weeks.

 

Wheel coating is a pain in the ass. That’s why I charge $200.00 set or $50.00 a wheel. I do it for people that want it but only a few want it.

I personally love it and have my Summer wheels done with 4 layers of Gyeon Rim. As brake dust just washes off with soap and water. I did them in the dead of winter after I had them refurbished. I had nothing to do one day, I was watching football and the wife was out of town. The wheels were sitting in my down stairs office so I turned on the TV, grabbed some coffee and went to crazy on them for a few hours.

 

Well, someone just booked me a full detail (Ceramic coating) on a brand new 2019 Acura MDX all black for this weekend. SUV already has dealership installed swirls from just taking off the protective white vinyl and washing it.

I also have a real 2006 GP coming in Thanksgiving week for Full detail with ceramic coating and wheel coating.

More pictures will be posted.

 

Today I told the owner of the GP to bring the title for the car Saturday because he is not getting this car back. I will give him my car and title.

Today was second coating day, trim dressing, RainX all glass and remove the wheels. This way I was able take them inside and clean, polish and coat them.

I also removed the hood vents by the wipers so I could strip, clean and coat them. Yes they are sitting on my new motor.

 

RainX is the cheapest form of a coating you can get and I used to use it on show cars I detailed. Dust wipes right off when it’s time to do final prep for judges.

Also the 1st Red Mini is mine, the second one is Teddy’s.

 

This one was done this week and will be at the Dragon agin this year.

Enjoy,

2006 GP will be in the Garage at the end of the month.

 

Also I cleaned, polished and Gyeon Ceramic coated the 20 inch Summer wheels with RIM by Gyeon before Winter storage. Winter 18 inch OZ wheels are on the car now in the pictures above.

 

Nice ride, but don’t use wax. Use a sealant like Chemical guys Jet Seal.

 

Yeah you want to do her car ASAP to save time on buffing out scratch’s in the paint. That truck had less then 40 miles on it.

 

Still on the injured bench. It’s kill me, but I know I need to heal. I will be back at it soon as I have a new Audi S4 and a Honda Ridgeline truck waiting.

 

This weekends SUV tooled like death when it showed up Friday. Sorry it was a Mom’s car with 2 kids so it looked like a dumpster inside and out. I did not take before pictures, but the guys wife loved it when they picked it up today.

She did not believe it was the same car and thought her husband got here a new one, just like the old one.


Oh and the house across the street just sold for $369,000 so I guess I need to find a new spot to take pictures soon.

 

Look at the satin wheel treated with Gyeon Rim in the Link below.

I never use wax or sealants on wheels because the wheel gets to hot and those products do not last. You need a coating like Gyeon Rim (Link below) or just use RainX on your rims as it bonds to the wheels and replies dirt, water and brake dust.
