Default Detailed my GS400 - lots of pics

PaPaHoFF made his way out to my house bright and early (bastard) Saturday morning just as he said he would. Well he said he would be there at 8am but when I came out to move the cars at 7:50am he was already taking pictures.

He took his time and did his best to de-flaw my poor old black paint and I am totally happy with his work. I did finally get around to removing those fugly "Limited Edition" badges on the fenders.

Anyway, here are the pics. NO I am NOT lowering it... NO I am NOT debadging it.. YES I LIKE my gold trim. Just a pre-emptive strike there.

Looks great. Nice detailing job. I personally like the badges and gold emblems on your car. Nice wheels BTW.

The car looks great. I like the shot with his trunk packed full because its funny how much stuff you have to bring along to work on just 1 car.

Thanks all...

Red Bully, I have tried a half dozen type wash mitts and I always fall back to my lamb skin. Even the Microfiber wash mitt kinda sucked because it gets so damn heavy and does not reach into the crevices.

A1Lexis, my wife and I decided we really like the gold on the car so it's staying. I am glad you agree too. And the wheels took me sooooo long to decide on (as Stef from D2 will attest) but I do like the way they look.

Blkexcoupe, he already had a bunch of stuff out of the trunk in that shot. When he first opened it I could swear I heard a "Thwuuummp" as it was forced open when he let the latch go.

Looks good. Last pic looks insane. Glad you are happy Rich.


About my trunk lol. That is nothing. If I would have had all of my interior stuff it would have been even more tightly packed lol.
