Having the '92 Detailed...

[5.SLO]

Well, a really good friend of mine (also my former college roommate) has gotten REALLY big into auto detailing. He's into it enough that he spent a total of 26 hours on his DD Integra :yes1:

He told me that if I bought a $12 bottle of cleaner, he'd do it for free. Sooooo needless to say, I'm letting him do it :lol1:

Process:

Wash- Meguiar's Gold Class
Clay- Meguiars Brand
Polish- Meguiars M205
Glaze- #7 Meg's Show Car Glaze
Wax- Meguiar's NXT 2.0
Wheels/Bay- Meguiars APC+
Tires- Armor All Tire Foam
Interior/Dressing- Meguiars Hyperdressing

Here are a couple pics that he's sent me so far.

Wrong code, try using the [ IMG ] [/IMG ] code and it should work.

[daracboy82]

[Mick's 88GT]

Looks great. Well worth the investment to have someone do it for you.

[Scooter]

Looks real good.

[Notch93]

Looking very, very nice.:yes1:

nice work..although using a glaze hides imperfections instead of correcting them..a M105/M205 combo will allow you to fully correct the paint without having to use a glaze..just FYI


you have a good friend if he did that for a bottle of polish...my customers would love me if i did that but i spend 6-8 hours on each car for a full correction and time is money for my detailing business :thumbsup1:

The glaze is for the roof and spoiler where the clear on the 18 year old paint is cracking up... There's no correcting it without repainting, so a glaze is being applied to hide what can be hid :yes1:

[Nova]

[Blacksheep]

ok..in my 14 years detailing ive stayed away from it when i can

if thats original paint on your car then it looks really good

here is a single pass of M105 and a single pass of 205 i did using LC yellow pads with my PC7224 finished on speed 5. as you can see with one pass even with direct 4000k halogen light the surface is perfect...no wax or polish...juts compound...even still to me M205 isnt finish quality for LSP application...you still need a fine polish to really get the piant to pop before wax/sealer

I understand what you're saying. However, the clear on the roof is just too thin...

Looks good, I cant wait to rip on that thing at Mustang Week! Like I said just tell Brent the Coupe is waiting. Just tell him to come to the house and we can have a detailing party(Brent cleaning me and you getting drunk).LOL

[5.SLO]

Well it's done! Here are the last few pics he sent me. I'm going Sunday to pick it up. From the pics I've seen, I'm really impressed and excited to see it in person :yes1::thumbsup1:

He's in Statesville...

[Blue Hatch]

Really, how can i get in touch with him? What does he charge for this type of thing?

[93fakesnake]

Wow that does look great but your GT looks great anyway. He done a great job.

Settle down hoss, all I said is that he lives in Statesville. The only advertising I'm doing is showing off his great work. My car is the first one he's done other than his own...

Man i need to drop off 2 of my stangs to him !
