Teaser Pic

Over the last couple days and over the weekend, I've been working on a detail that I have been documenting as much as possible. If you have sent me any PM's or e-mails I apologize that I might not be able to get to it right away, I've had limited time on the computer.

Look for an extensive writeup including how-to's, lots of pictures, video content and our mystery wax in action.

It'll take me some time to put everything together, but I have a few hundred photo's and probably an hour of video to process and write up. It's my top priority moving forward so hopefully I'll have it done within the week.

I got to rip it around town a couple weeks ago, but not after the detail. I'll be taking it out again in a couple weeks, pretty excited!

The entire car is filled with orange peel compliments to the factory paint job. The car is also covered with a clear bra in a lot of places. I was surprised a car like this had so much orange peel myself. The last "super" car I worked on was an Aston Martin DB9 and it had nearly no orange peel.

Hoping to have all of the information on our site by the end of next week. I'm basically doing a brain dump on the entire detailing process so hopefully it will be a good educational tool, not just a click and brag.

Thanks for the kind words.

George
