Good job!! I do a major detail every other year... its a pain.

 

damn that looks awesome as hell....next time im in atlanta i will just drop mine off and let you have it ..lol that car looks badass

 

Thanks tmf! Just read it, sounds like great advice for when I hit it again!

 

WHAT AN EMBARRASSING SIG

Paint looks amazing...nice work! Sucks for me the original owner neglected the paint and there are swirls/water spots literally everywhere. But you can't tell unless you examine the paint up close.

And it's a split decision btw you and WEAPON F for the title of GREATEST LICENSE PLATE OF ALL TIME!!

 

wow that's impressive, can't believe your wheels are actually gloss looking at the first pic

I wish I could detail my car the way I want, but my wife gives me a hard time for just washing my car

 

looks good! its always hard to keep a black car that clean!

 

A good sealant helps to protect the car from defects etc. Also, consistent waxing, and proper methods during washing such as foaming etc to lift dirt and contaminants before you wash car with cloth is what I have seen from experience to help reduce swirls.. Also, to be honest with you that level of swirling on the car looks to be from one or multiple passes through an automated contact or brush type car wash. Great job by the way..also if you want even more clarity you can get a rotary buffer with soft LC pad and progress white to black or blue pad with some Menzerna SF4500 and its a dark compound in nature to help finely polish the surface and conceal imperfections the white Meguires compound would expose because of color of the compound itself.

 

Not too bad with right equipment and its a great work out lol. I wax every month, polish every three months with SF4500, and do a contamination clay bar and buff once a year as required.

 

Damn nice Rick want to come show me how to get that nice of a detail on on my F? I'm moving into my new house Friday and it's not far from where the ATL F crew met up (note I missed that meet since I was sick)

 

Great looking job Rick!

If anyone is looking for a great detailer in San Diego, I got mine done about 6 months ago from elite finish detailing. They brought my black car back to life!!!

No problem, man. I'm up that way all the time as my brother lives in the area. Just let me know when you get settled...

 

Hahahahaha. I love my license plate. Hard as hell to try to figure out an explanation to my brother who's a pastor.

Seems like not a day goes by that I don't look in my mirror and see someone taking a pic of it. Even walked out to the grocery store parking lot and found a group snapping pics. ::like::

Of course...they could be casing me for a robbery. ::dislike::

 

Yeah man...that's the downside. I had minor swirls come back after a few washes. And I use the two bucket method. My next purchase will the Foamaster Washing Gun. Which, of course, will give me MORE side eyes from the wife. Hahahaha

Hers will get the same attention when we get they Macan...

 

Dr Rick I bet you'd get pist off when you go to your car and you see bird poo or tree sap... I hate my neighbor's tree... houses falcons and those damn helicopter seeds...
