Chemically Clean Gto's Photoshoot 56k NO WAY

today was one of the best days we have had in a while.

weather was perfect
sun was out.

out gto's were clean to the brim i told jay lets get some shots of the work we put in to prove why a good detail is worth its weight in gold.

what i did?

dawn wash

clayed

rinsed/wash

polished with menzerna polishes and porter cable 7424 xp

re washed

air dryed and mf dried

2 coats of jet seal 109

2 coats of pete's 53 wax.

my car the pbm, has been washed 2 times since i finished the process on my car, the wax has held up very well.
the paint is very slick to the touch.

jay's car has has been wiped down a hand full of times since i finished the work also and his car has held up JUST as well as mine.

the durability of the pete's 53 wax is amazing and at 40 bucks for a tub of that stuff im sold and impressed.

both of our cars have 43k plus miles.

we both still have some deep scratches in our clear that needs some sip polishes to remove, but over 65 percent swirl free

i love the fact that the polishes brought back a ton of gloss and removed oxidation.

heres the photo's

i am in no way a great photographer but i tried lol

Next time, based on these photos, put the Red car first closest to the trees, then the black car last. IMHO as a photographer.

The cars in front of warehouse doors, I personally don't care for that as a backdrop, IMHO,

Incredible shine on the cars.. looks great.

We need to get together Danny, The ROKET is in a dire need for a good cleaning. It hasn't been clay bared in years, and just the hood was done then. I know we talked briefly as a passing thing, but I really want your services. I don't know where you do this and if it's your business or someones else's. PM me and we'll see what we can do........

To be totally honest with you all Danny detailed my entire car.After I saw the job he did on his car I asked him if he could do the same to mine.He really is one hell of a detailer and my car has never looked better.Its so clean I dont ever want to get it dirty again.Im not certain but I believe that Danny will start detailing cars now if he has the time.I know he will be in the spring of next year.Im not sure what he's charging but if anyone wants to have him detail your car you cant go wrong.I have to say thank you Danny for an awesome job.

Damn those pics came out great.My car looks great in the sunlight.

Nice pics Danny.

You really should have Danny clean your car.After he did his the paint looked so good and the metallic really popped in the paint.Just PM Danny and drop your car off at his house.

im the exterior kinda guy i really dont like tackling the interior for anyone beyond just vaccuming up and dusting.

although the interior of my car doesn't have a spec of dust in any crevice loll

im thinking of having some type of group thing, where ill see who wants it done.
everyone will be charged the same price no matter what kind of work.
but everyone pays upfront and it gets done car by car possible 2 cars a week.
that way i can buy a ton more supplies and charge real cheap.

Pics look great, nice backdrop for the photos too...I always thought warehouse delivery doors and cars go together well for some reason. I need to find a place like that around here.

*cough*jay's car needs lowered*cough*
