Detailed 05 OB coupe

Here goes another OB detailed. I detailed my car last week and finally decided to post up the pics. It took me about 16 hours to finish since this was the first time I have ever used a buffer.

I got everything from Detailed Image. Great service, big thanks to them.

Porter Cable 7424xp

Menzerna SIP – Orange Pad
Menzerna PO106FA – White Pad
Menzerna PO85RD – Black Pad
Chemical Guys EZ Glaze – Black Pad
Blackfire Wet Diamond Sealant – Blue Pad
Dodo Juice Purple Haze wax

I had swirls throughout the entire car, but the SIP got rid of all of them. There were some scratches that were too deep, but I’m sure that if I had used Power Gloss or SSR3 it would have taken them out (I’ll take care of that in 6 months).

Here are the pics.











Here are some pics of the finished product in the sun.









And two in the shade.





Thanks for looking.

The rims are 19" Volk GT-F's. And I got the supplies on black Friday with a 30% off, so I saved a lot on that. PM sent.

Excellent turn around on that detail, the paint was in dire need of a detail. You did an excellent job correcting the finish and the results speak for themselves. Glad you had a good experience with us!

Happy holidays, enjoy your new paint!
