    So I think since I have so many many pics and different stories for each car, I'll need to write up a car a day so I don't spend 5 hours writng up all of them at once.

    here's the first car: 2006 Ford GT Gulf edition #6

    1st off, the car just came back from a charity track event long story short it was driven ALOT on the track and had its share of rubber compound and tar on its lower half! The break dust was deceptively heavy as well...

    clean wheels:

    after a tar remover:

    we clayed the car with Swissvax Paint Rubber-no pics

    it was wierd...we couldn't get any thing MUCH to show in the halogens but we saw some minor swirls in the orange part when we had it out in the sun...so we decided to go Menzerna PO106FA on a white CCS pad via Metabo Rotary

    turned out like:

    we did the engine but no pics...if you do a GT you'll understand...its very tiring and it never seems like its gonna end so by the time we were done we crashed asleep.

    interior got einszett leather care and cockpit premium protectant and the rubber floors were dressed with Griot's Garage vinyl/rubber dresing

    tires got Adam's VRT and wheel wells got Adam's invisible undercarriage

    engined finished out with Adam's In and Out spray

    windows got einzsett glas polish in and out

    total time was about 20 hours.....try doing one of these the job never seems to end.

    what a car though....enjoy tomarrow is the red 80's Porsche Carrera Widebody Full correction

    That looks like a challenging vehicle, so many curves, turns and twists. I love curve but they can sure take a tol on the detailing part :nod:

    The vehicle is gorgeous but not meant for me, not sure why but there is someting that just dosen't capture me..I like looking at them though, they look great as they drive by.

    I got a question for you ampbmw, what tar remover did you use? Just curious.

    The reflection on the vehicle looks very nice, I've seen the engine bay on these vehicles and it dosen't look easy at all. I've never detailed one of these vehicles but it sure looks like fun :thumb:

    Thank you for sharing with us and I look forward to the next write ups/vehicles.

    That would be the Z8. Pretty rare...might be for a good reason. They do have a painted dash though, and that is really cool.

    thanks for all the comments...I worked the hardest on that car even though it needed the least amount of work! The paint just has so much real estate its really deceptively large!

    Tar removed with tardis and buffed off B4 polishing

    The Z8 was gorgeous true that

    hmmm..I've been hearing great things about this tardis tar remover product. Where did you pick that up if you don't mind me asking?

    Detailersdomain, do you have this product?

    Eshine, do you have this product?

    I'd love to get some :angel:

    Oh one question about the car, why does it have that number on it? Just wondering?

    I picked it up on some UK website one night....i'll look it up I think it was clean and shiny

    Nica, about the number...from what I understand there are only a handful of the gulf editions in the world and each one has a different number (google the gulf GT or even the old gulf porsche's) so each owner go tto pick their own number

    btw Richard Griot (griot's garage pres.) owns #7....cool huh? I did 6 haha maybe when 7 is ready for a real detail I can do it too?:p:

    Oh okay I wasen't sure if you got it from the US, I know tardis tar remover is big in the UK and use it quite often....well I'll add that to the list to the next order from Polished Bliss.

    Oh really so the number means the number of that particular vehicle, that's neat...thank you for sharing thumb:
