Take a look

Before


















Wash
This car was washed over 5 times to remove the glaze off it.
First we used Adam's Car Wash then presoaked again with W99.

















Insane amount of glaze..Take a look at all that glaze off gassing after a few washes.


Another pre-soak with W99



Rinsing




Clay




After rinse and clay




Masking





Measuring the Paint


Before shots of the car prior to paint correction (this is pretty much the complete car, every panel as you will see is this bad after all the glaze was removed, can you say IMPERFECTIONS!)





















Action Shots



Polishing the trunk lid








Inspecting the paint with the Fenix


Great shot of the front fender jeweled out and door with PO85RD

EPIC, those results are insane!

 

looks great!

 

I'm in awe.

 

Easily the best work I've seen you guys do. Awesome job guys. Wicked car.

 

is it me or are your details getting even better

 

O O Oooo OOO OMG

 

Wow, I hope you got to at least take a ride in that thing! Awesome worksmanship on everything from the correction to the film, if I was still in the NE I would come down and have you clear film my car.

 

Wow great work there Phil!! The black just looks dripping wet!!! It's amazing!

What do you think of the M105 compared to Menz SIP (using the orange pad)? Does it really make swirl removal a lot easier?

Also, why are you using 3 different rotaries? I've always wondered about this...

Thanks!

 

Holy mistreated S4, Batman! Wow, so much correction.

I always wondered what a clear-wrapped car would look like - looks like the whole front was done and anything else the owner touches on a regular basis

 

Wicked correction on that monster. Do you mind sharing how much is that beast putting down?

 

Great job! That looks like a hell lot of work. I can't even put a clear protective film on the screen on my Blackberry without messing it all up.

 

great job guys

 

the car still needs to be tuned but i believe on the initial run its about 550 to the wheels.

 

now thats the treatment that the 4 rings deserve
excellent job Phil

 

Epic is right!

Stunning work.

 

thanks!

 

wow! so many hours wrapping! that's insane. some very nice correction work being protected though

This is a good one. my favourite from you, I think!

 

wow! words are not enuff !
