Hello everyone. Very windy day but still managed to detail these 2 cars.
First up, 330i. Car was in pretty good condition just needed swirls removed and paint restore.
Process:
Wash
Clay
SIP w/ orange pad @1500 rpm
106f w/ white pad @ 1300rpm
z2pro
Next up, G35. Returning customer. Just a simple wash. Came back with a few mods. Clear corners, chromed out rims, suspension, headunit.
Enjoy!

Hey everyone; I got a couple PM's and e-mails asking me about the products I use.
I have over 30 waxes and sealants that I use depending on the color of the car, whether the paint is pearl or metallic, depending on the durability the owner desires, and so on. Here is a quick list of some of my more popularly used sealants and waxes.
Pinnacle Souveran
Zaino Z2pro and Z5pro
Jeff's Werkstatt Acrylic Jett and Carnauba Jett
Poorboys Nattys Blue
Clearkote Carnauba Wax
Optimum Car Wax
I do use abrasive polishes (also known as compounds), which I use depend on the condition of the paint and the expectations of the owner. My "One Step Polish" package uses a light to moderate abrasive polish to remove light swirls and marring while leaving the paint smooth and glossy. My "Multi-step Compounding" package is designed to use heavy, moderate, then light polishes (the number of steps depends on the condition of the paint) to remove heavy swirling and marring and leave the paint smooth and glossy. Some of the polishes I use are:
Menzerna Power Gloss, Super Intensive Polish, PO106ff
Optimum Hyper Compound, Compound, and Polish
